★★★★★ Google Review “They’re incredibly friendly, supportive, and have never once made me feel uncomfortable or self-conscious. If you think you “hate the gym,” trust me… I did too. This place might actually change your mind.” Canev. C Amsterdam
You've tried it before..
AND YOUR DONE STARTING OVER.
You’ve tried it before, signed up to a gym, went to that hype fitness class, hired a personal trainer, downloaded that promising looking workout app.
And for a few week, say months, It worked.
Until life got busier, travel picked up, and that important work dinner replaced your workout.
It was easier to just start over again.
The problem was never your effort, You just never had a plan built for your life.
And that is exactly what we built. So you never have to “start over” again.

Whether you like working out 1-on-1 with your coach, duo sessions with a friend or partner or love the energy and accountability of a small group. We provide different services that match your personal preference.
"I've seen a huge improvement in my strength, posture, and overall fitness, and I look forward to every session"
FORGET CROWDED GYMS, NOT SEEING THE RESULTS YOU WANT AND FRUSTRATING SETBACKS.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
THIS IS HOW YOU
START TODAY
No commitment. We talk through your situation, your goals, and whether BCD is the right fit.
InBody scan, strength assessment, nutrition analysis. We assess your current situation and create a plan you can keep up with.
6 personal training sessions with own coach. After 3 weeks you know exactly what works for you. Then you decide.
"It has genuinely become one of the best parts of my weekly routine."
Raphael V.K. — BCD member
THE GOALS WE WORK WITH
From learning how to work out with the right techniques, losing bodyfat or building strength to improving your overall health. We will adapt our sessions to your goals with measurable outcomes.
LOSE BODYFAT.
Tired of starting a new diet and routine every few months? We’re here to help you stay consistent. We build a plan around your current diet, your schedule and your life. Not the other way around.
BUILDING STRENGTH & MUSCLE
You don’t have much experience lifting weights OR haven’t consistently trained before, and that’s fine, most of our members haven’t. You will leave every session stronger and knowing exactly what you did and why.
HEALTH & LONGEVITY
You wake up tired, and with little aches here and there. Training with us means – More energy. Less pain, even when moving. Improved sleep and a good work-life balance. We work with measurable data markers to improve your overall health.

Questions we get a lot.
We're at Peperstraat 15H, 1011TJ Amsterdam — a short walk from Amsterdam Centraal and right in the city centre. Private entrance, no gym floor, no strangers watching you train.
Yes. All our coaches are fluent English speakers. We work with a lot of internationals and expats based in Amsterdam. English is the default coaching language at BCD.
Most of our clients are beginners or returning beginners. We don't assume any experience. Your first sessions focus on learning the movements properly — not pushing through a programme you don't understand. The goal is that you leave knowing what you're doing and why.
Most PT relationships fail because the client gets sessions, not structure. At BCD you get a coach who tracks your nutrition, adjusts your programme, and checks in when consistency slips — not just someone who counts reps and goes home. We build the routine around your actual life, not an ideal version of it.
Yes — travel is one of the most common challenges our clients face. We build it into the plan from the start. That includes what to do when you're away, how to eat while travelling, and how to pick up without losing momentum when you're back.
The best way to start is the 3-week trial — 6 sessions for €207. After that, memberships start from €204/month for one session per week. Most clients train twice a week at €397/month. Full pricing is on our pricing page.
No. You can start with the 3-week trial — no commitment beyond that. Longer memberships (3, 6, 12 or 24 months) unlock better monthly rates, but the trial is fully standalone. After 3 weeks you decide.
We sit down, talk through your situation, your goals and what's got in the way before. No hard sell. You see the studio and we figure out together whether BCD makes sense for you. It takes about 30 minutes and there's no obligation to sign anything.
Sessions are 30 or 60 minutes. Most clients start with 30-minute sessions twice a week — that's enough to see real progress when the programme is properly structured. We use supersets to make every minute count.
Yes — this is one of our specialist areas. GLP-1 medications drive significant weight loss but also cause muscle loss if resistance training and protein intake aren't structured properly. Our Root Cause programme is built specifically for this. We work alongside your prescribing physician to make sure the result is worth it.
