Newsletter summer 2025

Summer is in full swing and we celebrate it at Taus Gym with sunshine, exercise and a lot of fun!

We briefly look back at an energetic spring full of cool events, as well as look ahead to all that this summer has to offer: from outdoor training sessions and the annual members' drinks to new dates for the Women Only Krav Maga course and exams.

We will also update you on important updates such as the contribution change and the adjusted holiday schedule.

In short, plenty to prepare for. Read on and find out what's on this summer at Taus Gym!

 

Members' drinks

This year, the summer drinks replace our annual members' BBQ, but of course the fun remains the same! We leave the weights and boxing gloves for a while and come together to enjoy good food, refreshing drinks and good company. Come along and let's have a great evening together!

Outdoor training courses

Summer = training outside!

With the nice weather coming, we sometimes move our workouts outside to enjoy the fresh air.

From July to September there is a chance in both Tilburg and Breda that training sessions will take place outside. Whether the class is actually held outside is determined by the instructor so always make sure you are well prepared:
👟 Bring both indoor and outdoor sports shoes
👕 Wear sportswear suitable for indoor and outdoor use

Watch out for members in Breda: during the summer holidays, the indoor sports venue will be closed on a number of dates. At these times, we will go outside for a vigorous workout:

• Thursday, 10 July
• Monday, 14 July
• Thursday, 7 August
• Monday, 11 August

No changing rooms or toilets are available on these days, so please come to training changed and prepared.

In case of bad weather, the outdoor training sessions will not take place. This will be communicated in good time via our Whatsapp groups so please also keep an eye on these before you come to train.

Together, we will make it a sporty and sunny summer!

 

 

Contribution change

At Taus Gym, we believe it is important that everyone has the opportunity to work on resilience, fitness and self-confidence - in a safe and motivating environment. We have therefore been committed for years to keeping membership fees as affordable as possible.

Yet we too cannot escape the fact that our costs continue to rise. Think of higher rental prices, investments in new training equipment and the maintenance of our location. In order to continue to guarantee the quality of our lessons, we will therefore adjust our membership fees from this summer onwards.

What will change?

For new members, the new rates will apply from 1 July 2025

For existing members, the new rates take effect on 1 September 2025 

Do you have a multi-year membership? Then the 10%, 20% or 30% discount will continue to apply - even on the adjusted rate.

We want everyone to be able to continue playing sports. Therefore, we actively look for opportunities through municipal schemes and other initiatives for people who are more financially challenged. At this page find the possibilities.

Do you have questions about this or want to change your membership? Let us know via the contact form.

 

Holiday schedule 

This season too, we will have to deal with a number of holiday periods and holidays. The summer holidays are coming up and during this period we will have a different schedule than usual. Therefore keep a close eye on the agenda in order to avoid unexpected surprises.

Summer holidays: 5 July to 17 August 2025

Women Only Krav Maga course

This course focuses on situations that women unfortunately often encounter, such as harassment and unwanted attention. You will learn to be stronger with effective self-defence techniques but also set boundaries through your use of voice.

We understand that each participant has unique experiences and needs, which is why there is plenty of room for personal attention. Our goal? To create an atmosphere where every participant feels comfortable and, most importantly, safe. 

 

You don't need to have any self-defence experience to join this course. Moreover, all fitness levels and ages are welcome!

Want to discover what the course can do for you? Then come along for a free trial lesson at Monday 1 September or 8 September 2025 and let us know via the contact form.

Over 9 lessons, we will work together to increase your resilience and teach you valuable skills for everyday life.

The course itself will take place from 15 September to 17 November 2025. Participation is possible from the age of 14.
