VISION & MISSION
At FemmeGym, every woman is welcome, regardless of age (18+), sports experience or background. Our mission? To create a safe and pleasant place where women can be themselves, feel at home and enjoy coming back. Whether a member already has experience with yoga, spinning or fitness, or not at all - with us it's about moving with pleasure, discovering new things and developing yourself in your own way.
Helpful information
Everything that helps you fulfil your role as a teacher at FemmeGym well and with enjoyment. From how we interact with members to practical tools you use during your class or shift.
At FemmeGym, quality always comes first. We create a warm, friendly atmosphere and make everyone feel welcome at every class. Whether you meet a new client or see a familiar member again, a smile - and the occasional wink 😉 - is always part of the deal. We think it's important for classes to continue, even if there is only one participant. Of course, we respect it if a customer herself indicates that she would rather not have a 1-on-1 lesson. This is how we make sports accessible and fun for everyone, regardless of group size! 💪
At FemmeGym, everything is about accessibility, even when it comes to language! If you are Dutch-speaking yourself, then in principle you teach the class in Dutch. But... always check if there are members in the class who only speak English.
Are there only English-speaking participants or do you like to teach the class in English? Then please ask if everyone is okay with that. That way we make sure everyone feels welcome and can enjoy participating! 😊

Each location has its own atmosphere and specialities, but everywhere you feel that typical FemmeGym vibe: warm, accessible and focused on quality! 😊
