On Sunday, April 2, it's time to forget all the nonsense of the day before: we're going hard at STOER Nijstad! Since March 1, Dayen has been the operator of the outdoor location at the Nijstad recreation area. And she and her team prepared a tough but great WOT program for all the Spartans present! We spoke to Dayen about STOER Nijstad and the WOT!

Can you tell us a little more about your location?

Of course! Nijstad is a large recreational area with a large pavilion, a beach and an outdoor location. The current owner stopped and then I saw an opportunity to make my dream come true with a new company called STOER Nijstad. We offer training for all ages, such as boot camps, circuit training, WOTs, obstacle training and boxing training. In addition, STOER will also provide training on-site for schools, companies and we will have fun smaller events.

How can people get started with you?

STOER will work with subscriptions and a strip card. There are different subscriptions for youth and adults. With a subscription you can choose how often you come and exercise with us, this varies from 1 time to unlimited sports. With the strippenkaart you can exercise 10 times during the different training sessions.

Have you ever participated in Spartan yourself?

Yes, I participated in almost all Spartan Races in the Netherlands. IJmuiden, Zandvoort, but also, for example, the trail in Tenerife. It is in the nature reserve behind the volcano. That's what makes it great! You walk on narrow paths between the huge palms with beautiful views along the mountain ridges. I often run the 25 km, but this one was abnormally hard. It is definitely among my highlights of the Spartan races.

Can the Spartans come to you to prepare for their upcoming races?

200%! We always do a special Spartan workout. One of our trainers always goes to the beach with all kinds of activities. That is an ideal preparation for the Spartan in Zandvoort. Another trainer focuses on the climbing technique part and there is also a strength circuit. We rotate every 20 minutes, so that we simulate all aspects of the race.
