• La Bruxelloise 2021 - Sunday 31 October 2021 10:30 AM - We are pleased to announce that Friskis&Svettis will participate with a team of Runners and Nordic Walkers in the 11th edition of La Bruxelloise, a women’s running race in Brussels, on 31st October 2021 at 10:30 am. Friskis would like to encourage as many of it's members (women as well as men dressed as women) as possible to participate in this worthy cause by running or walking in this race while proudly wearing your Friskis&Svettis t-shirt. You can sign up for the race directly on the Bruxelloise website. The cost is 15€ for adults and 5€ for children.
• Covid Safe Ticket requirement- we are receiving a lot of questions regarding the requirement of Covid Safe Ticket to access our sessions. We can confirm that if the Brussels authorities do mandate the Covid Safe Ticket requirement for indoor sports sessions (which seems likely at this point) we will follow the regulations and kindly ask all participants to present a Covid Safe Ticket before participating in all indoor sessions. We will make an announcement as to when this new requirement will be put in place (there has not yet been an official date as to when this requirement will be actually implemented).

In order to guarantee that social distancing guidelines, mandated by the Belgian authorities, are respected, we will be limiting the maximum number of participants to each session. To that end, we kindly request that all participants register online for each session in our membership portal. 

If you're not a member, you can still join us since your first Friskis session is always free. You just need to register for a "guest pass" on the website. The guest pass will give you access to a free session. It can be used once per user. Even with a guest pass, you still need to register for the session that you plan on attending.

Please note that registration is now mandatory for all sessions (even for the free sessions) so please ensure that you register before you come to the session. You can book a session up to 30 minutes before the start of the session (both for our in-person and our online sessions). Our lovely hosts will check the registration list before the session begins. 

Also please ensure that you respect of the obligatory coronavirus measures (such as maintaining 1m50 physical security distance between participants and wearing a mask before and after the session). 

It is very important for us to have an accurate count of the participants so that we can organize ourselves accordingly, so, if you have registered for a session and then, for whatever reason, you cannot attend we kindly ask you to de-register in the portal or via the app as soon as possible, so as to allow someone else on the waiting list to register.

So now that you see everything that is on offer in October, don't miss out on all the fun and join our Friskis sessions for all your fitness with a smile needs!
