FAQ
Questions, answered.
Everything you might want to know before your first mile. Still unsure? Just ask.
Getting started
What is the free intake?
The free intake is how everyone starts at Bodytime. We sit down, get to know you, look at how you move, and map your goals and your level together. There is no price and no pressure. At the end we help you choose the right pathway, coaching form, and program.
Do I need to be fit to start?
No. We coach members from 25 to 85, from complete beginners to advanced athletes, including pre and postnatal. We meet you exactly where you are and build from there.
Is there still a paid trial?
The free intake is the new standard and replaces the old paid intake. We also keep a 10 Day Trial with 3 classes as a low commitment way to feel the studio, alongside the free intake.
Coaching & programs
What is the difference between the pathways and the coaching forms?
A pathway is your goal: fat loss, strength, vitality, healthy aging, pre and postnatal, resilience, or nutrition and lifestyle. A coaching form is how you get there: one on one personal training, duo, small group, or nutrition. In your intake we match the two.
How long are the programs?
Programs run in three, six, or twelve month timelines. Real change needs runway, so we build a plan with a clear timeline and coach you through it.
Is nutrition included?
Nutrition coaching runs underneath every pathway. Depending on your program it is either included or added, and we cover exactly what fits your goal during your intake.
Membership & pricing
Which option is right for me?
In your free intake we look at your goal, your level, and your schedule, and recommend the coaching program or studio membership that fits. There is no wrong door: we help you choose.
Can I start at any time?
Yes. There is no fixed start date. Book your free intake whenever suits you, and we take it from there.
Can I cancel my membership?
Studio memberships run for a minimum of 6 months, with 4 weeks notice after that. Coaching programs simply run for the timeline you choose: three, six, or twelve months.
How does the waitlist work?
If a class is full, you can join the waitlist. You are added automatically when a spot opens up, and notified right away.
What if I need to cancel last minute?
Cancelling within 12 hours of a class uses one credit from your membership, the same as attending.
What is Open Gym?
A fixed self-training time slot at the studio, in small groups of up to 4, included with select memberships.
Studios & schedule
Where are the studios?
We have two studios: Amsterdam Oud-West at Jacob van Lennepkade 245, near Vondelpark, and Laren at Schoutenbosje 3b in the centre. Each has its own character and its own schedule.
Is coaching in English?
Yes. Bodytime is international by default. Coaching is in English, we have a strong expat community, and an American co-owner. Everyone is welcome from day one.
How do I book a class as a member?
The schedule for both studios runs on trainin.app. You can view and book your sessions from the Schedule page or from each studio page.
