WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
★★★★★ 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
THE P OF PERSONAL TRAINING.
Why would anyone need a personal trainer? Well, the same analogy one can apply as to why anyone needs a mentor, or a manager?
Someone to guide you, learn from their experience and to hold you accountable.
We believe that what is holding you back is not your effort, but that your aiming for something that’s not sustainable in the long run.
The least you would expect from a PERSONAL trainer is personal attention, a goal oriented workout and guidance.
Not someone who has more eye for their reflection in the mirror than you as a client, which we unfortunately see more often than not.
What separates us that we understand your life, that you might not be able to life like an athlete and at the same time be the CEO of a fortune 500 company.
We don’t expect that – What we do expect from you that if you want to excel and make a sustainable positive change in your life you have to make a few sacrifices in the things that are holding you back.
We help you build a system around your life and create a shift in your mindset. Only then you will achieve lasting results.
THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL GYM. IT'S A PRIVATE COACHING ENVIRONMENT.
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.
NO QUICK FIXES.
We don’t believe in quick fixes. If you want a 4 week transformation program we can’t help you. If you want lasting results and sustainable progress, We got you covered.
DOESN'T FEEL LIKE A GYM
The gym is probably not your most comfortable environment. We understand that. Our coaches and community make it feel like a home-away from home. Not an intimidating space.
INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY
This place looks nice, it’s probably full of influencers? No, It’s mostly people who work behind a desk all day and want a third space where they can get in great shape. and connect with others.
PRIVATE STUDIO.
We hate waiting for the squat-rack of people on their phones. No crowds, no waiting, no distractions. Just you and your coach in a private space built for focused work.
30-MINUTE SESSIONS THAT WORK.
Stil believe that you need 60 minutes to make progress? We beg to differ, We get impressive results with as little as 2 x 30 minutes per week. Built on compound movements, progressive overload. No High intensity cardio, No chit chat, No wasted time. High ROI.
ENGLISH-SPEAKING COACHES.
Dutch, English, Arab, Spanish and Italian. Built for Dutch, Internationals and expats in living or working in Amsterdam who want real coaching in their language.
"I've seen a huge improvement in my strength, posture, and overall fitness, and I look forward to every session"

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."

THE GOALS WE WORK WITH.
Whether you want to lose body fat, build strength, or simply feel better in your body, every plan starts with your situation, not another random youtube video or template.
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.
GLP-1 / MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS GUIDANCE.
Using weight loss medication – like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Semaglutide – and not training? Without resistance training, up to 40% of what you lose is muscle, not fat. Stop the medication and the weight comes back. Every time. Medication buys you time. Two 30-minute sessions a week make the result permanent.
Questions we get a lot.
No experience needed. Most of our clients start as beginners or returning beginners who haven't trained consistently before. Your coach adapts every session to your level and teaches you exactly what you're doing and why.
We offer 30-minute and 60-minute sessions. Our 30-minute sessions are our signature format — efficient, focused, and built around compound movements and progressive overload. Every minute is used. Most clients train 2–3 times per week.
Yes — English is our primary coaching language. Our coaches speak Dutch, English and Italian. BCD is one of the few private training studios in Amsterdam that is genuinely set up for internationals and expats. No language barrier, no confusion.
We're at Peperstraat 15H — a 5-minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal and right in the heart of the city centre. Private entrance, private space. Nothing like a commercial gym.
Your first session starts with an InBody scan (body composition), strength assessment, and movement quality check. We create your Personal Blueprint — a training and nutrition plan built specifically around your goals, schedule and lifestyle. You leave with a clear plan and a clear start.
The best way to start is our 3-week trial — 6 sessions for €207, no long-term commitment. If you continue, monthly memberships start from €204/month (30-min sessions, 1x per week). All packages include coaching, programming, nutrition guidance, and Trainerize app access.
Most PT fails because it's built for an ideal version of your life — not the one where travel, work, and bad weeks happen. We build the plan around those moments. Accountability between sessions, backup plans for when you're away, and a coach who notices when you go quiet. That's what makes it stick.
No. Start with the 3-week trial (€207, 6 sessions). After that, you choose your package. Month-to-month options are available. Longer commitments unlock lower monthly rates, but nothing is forced.
