What we can do for you

01. Individual consultations – CEP

Our individualised clinical gym programme is based on the concepts of Clinical Exercise Physiology (CEP), which originated in Australia, the US, and Canada, in response to the growing demand for effective yet safe exercise programmes for acute and chronic health conditions and disabilities. What has developed into a master-level qualification and often specialisation after Physiotherapy, CEP focuses on patients’ exercise screening, assessments, programming, and reassessment to encourage long-term positive behaviour change and empowerment.

Our Clinical Gym is lead by Katina McCulloch (co-founder of Waves) who is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist with Exercise Sport Science Australia (ESSA) and a member of the American College of Sport Medicine.

Our team is composed of physiotherapists and highly-experienced personal trainers who specialise in holistic exercise practices to actively support you and your short- and long-term goals. As a team we have the skills and knowledge base to work with a wide range of conditions, including those which are rare and complex.

Do you have any conditions in the following health areas? Then we may be the perfect spot for you.

02. Semi-Privates

Empowerment is important to us at Waves, and a key part of this is enhancing your independence and awareness of how your body and mind integrate with movement. This is why we offer semi-private sessions with a maximum of three people, each following their own individual programme.

Semi-privates are the ideal bridge between one-on-one and group classes. The small group size allows the instructor to pay close attention to each participant’s needs and goals.

Open to both beginners and advanced practitioners, semi-private sessions provide a structured environment with individualised instruction while still offering the social benefits of a group.

They also encourage you to practise more independently than in individual sessions, helping you to understand the exercises more deeply and develop a natural sense of your body. This increased awareness of movement can then be carried into everyday life, beyond the Gym.

Pricing

Semi-Private Gym sessions are given by our amazing instructors Justine Prata and Charles Deflandre.

The rates for these sessions are:

€48 / €460  (single session / 10-pack)

What clients say about us

The Company Coupons were a hit with our staff! It was super easy to set up, and our team loved having the freedom to book classes that fit their schedule. It was a great way to reward our staff for all their amazing work!

— Hanne D, HR Manager

As a brain injury patient (NAH sustained in March 2019), switching to Waves was a major step forward. My initial goal was to do more sports, but quickly grew into a new approach to physical rehabilitation, with positive results after only a few months. The multidisciplinary approach ensured that both muscle mass and stability have improved so much that I dare to dream again of a life with limited impact of my disability.

— Kris

‘Do you want to be welcomed warmly and lovingly? Then you have come to the right place at Waves. Bavo and Femke have a listening ear and adjust the professional kiné to your size and personal lifestyle. Even in my busy ‘momlife lifestyle’ they knew how to build in a routine. In the stylishly decorated room you automatically come to rest.’

— Tine Bloemen

‘If you like warm, open and professional people, the Waves team is the right place for you! I have been in coaching with Bavo and his team for physio and pilates for a while and I keep coming back with pleasure every time.’

— Charlotte Vitse
