I was curious about the movement practice after seeing some videos about it, so I tried the two week try out and decided to become a member after that. Great vibe and variety of classes! The coaches are very friendly and like to have fun in the class. Can't recommended enough :)

About the Team
TEAM Jim If there's one thing that Jim doesn’t like, it's sitting still. Growing up in Nijmegen, he first discovered his desire to move his body when he started practicing capoeira at the age of ten. Since then, he has never stopped moving and was introduced to Movement during his bachelor's, at the ALO. Jim has gained knowledge and skills in many different places and has attended numerous workshops, including one of the 26 mentorship students at Ido Portal in Mexico. Starting last year, he has followed training from grandmaster Ido Portal and receives personal guidance online. In addition to this training, Jim is also a certified Wim Hof instructor. Jim's clients describe him as enthusiastic, humorous, and goal-oriented. Jim allows and encourages everyone to develop at their own pace. Chris After completing his studies 'Health, Lifestyle, Sports & Physical Activity,’ Chris started working as a personal trainer and yoga teacher, where his adventure as a Mover began. Chris is fascinated by movement and continuously challenges himself to acquire knowledge and new skills. With his strong discipline, professional guidance, and personal approach, he knows how to excite and motivate anyone (from beginners to experienced athletes) to exercise more often. Chris thinks outside the box and continues to invent new methods to increase the body’s strength and flexibility. To this day, he enthusiastically follows the programming of Ido Portal and Fighting Monkey, assuring himself he constantly learns and finds new ways of physical empowerment. Chris believes that if you take good care of yourself, you can push yourself and thoroughly enjoy an energetic body and mind. Farid After having worked behind a desk for 8 years which left him feeling miserable and unfulfilled, Farid was searching for a change. He decided to pursue his passion which then turned into a dream. Farid is an experienced professional Mixed Martial Artist (MMA) of 10 years and is trained in different fitness aspects.After taking a number of courses, he became a certified Personal Trainer. In early 2015 he decided to make his dream a reality and started his own training company. This is how Next-LVL was born. In 2017, Farid dove headfirst into the Movement practice of Ido Portal. After having worked diligently for 3 years, he became an Ido Portal Online Student in August of 2020 under the tutelage of Johnny Sapinoso. Knowing the benefits of moving with a sense of freedom inside the body, and living a happy life, he has now made it his mission to teach this method to his students. Working on mobility, strength, agility, rhythm, and coordination, combined with fun games to merge all these elements; his days now consist of doing what he loves with a passion.
