Description
Description
Sixty minutes, no cost, no payment details, and you keep the written handout whether or not you continue. An intake session is where a trainer assesses how you move, talks through your goals and shows you the gym before you commit to anything. In a private five-star hotel gym in Amsterdam Centrum.
- Duration: 60 minutes
- Price: Free
- Obligation: None. No payment details are taken
- Locations: Five five-star hotels in Amsterdam Centrum
- Languages: English and Dutch
- Available: From 7:00 on weekdays, usually within a few days
Booking a personal trainer is a decision most people make on a website, based on photos. This is the version where you meet the trainer, see the room and find out what your body is actually doing first.
What happens in the 60 minutes
- Tour, 10 minutes. The private gym, spa locker rooms, and the wet area with sauna, steam room, experience shower and light rooms.
- Goal conversation, 10 minutes. What you want, what has not worked before, your history, injuries, and the coaching style that suits you.
- Movement and strength assessment, 30 minutes. How you move, mobility, stability, a strength baseline. A real session, not a test you can fail.
- Findings, 10 minutes. What your trainer saw and what they would do about it.
- Optional: Full body analysis with circumference measurements, Tanita bioimpedance and skinfolds. Skipped without discussion if you would rather not.
You leave with a written handout covering key observations, strengths and weaknesses, mobility insights, lifestyle recommendations and a suggested plan. It is written to be useful on its own.
What people say about starting
“The gym was a big step, but David's enthusiasm quickly dispelled any fear. David is very customer-focused and genuinely interested. Within three months, I was at my target weight and felt much better about myself.”
Frequently asked questions
Who is the free intake for?
Anyone considering a monthly plan or the 12-week program, because a program written without a movement assessment is a guess. If you only want a single session or a pack of 4 or 8, you do not need this: those include a digital intake plus fitness testing inside your first session.
Do I need to be fit to do an intake?
No. A large share of people who book one have not trained in years, and the assessment is scaled to whatever you can do. There is nothing to prepare for.
Is there really no obligation?
None. Nothing is charged, no payment details are taken, and you are not asked to decide on the day. Prices are published on our personal training page so you can read them before you come.
Can two of us do an intake together?
Yes, if you plan to train as a duo. Both are assessed in the same 60 minutes and you each get your own handout.
I am only in Amsterdam for a few days. Should I book this?
Probably not. Book a single session instead so your limited time goes into training rather than assessment. See personal training in your hotel.
What should I bring?
Training clothes and indoor shoes. Bathrobes, towels, toiletries, water and coffee are provided.
