Fitness and Putrace

End of week so time for my next blog on the ins and outs of Dojo Burning Heart.
Start with the announcement that tomorrow (Saturday, July 2) registration for the Fishermans Friend run on September 4 at Hellendoorn will close for good.
As of Sunday, July 3, no new registrations can take place because it has been agreed with the organization that on that date we will announce to them the number of participants from Dojo Burning Heart. We are at the overwhelming number of almost 80 athletes who have almost all chosen the 12 kilometers. At the time of writing I do not have access to the payment because it must be paid no later than Saturday, July 2, otherwise you can not participate.
Therefore, perhaps unnecessarily, I repeat on Facebook several times this week, no payment within no participation from Dojo Burning Heart.
Please take note of this because exceptions will not be made.

Fitness
Last Sunday afternoon I went with Jerry to Dick Vrij's gym in Beverwijk.
Through the grapevine Jerry got a tip that some fitness equipment was for sale.
We left in plenty of time because the Velser Tunnel was closed that day due to maintenance work and we parked our car in front of the gym via Purmerend at exactly the agreed time.
The gym is located 2 minutes away from the black market in a small industrial area.
The first impression from the outside was not really overwhelming but when we entered we were amazed.
A beautiful square counter with Dick Vrij on one corner greeted us warmly.
After some introductory talks back and forth while enjoying a nice cup of coffee, Dick Vrij showed us his gym, he is currently undergoing a major renovation of his school but we had already seen that when we entered.
We stared our eyes out at the number of machines in his gym, on the top floor alone there were about 25 treadmills lined up neatly in rows.
The fitness machines are on the first floor, currently on dark carpeting, but there will be rubber tiles here just like ours. We had an extensive tour of several rooms and what struck me was the number of locker rooms that looked great.
At the end of the tour it was time to take a look at the equipment that will be sold. At leisure looked at everything and took a picture we were interested in, in between tried to reach Daphne, had a weekend Texel with girlfriends, but failed.
Quite a pity because her expertise is important to Jerry.
Time to negotiate the price and we quickly came to an agreement.
Soon our Fitness will be expanded with: 2 Butt machines, 1 Back Extension, 1 Standing Calf, once a 4 Station, 1 Cable Cross and a Side Raise.
In addition, some things like rods etc will be replaced as they are showing signs of decay. Also adding 3 Fat Gripz, tip from Anthony Oosterlaag, and replacing the damaged Dumbells. In short Dojo Burning Heart offers value for money!!!
Up to date again so I close this blog.

Until my next blog,
Dick
