Everything you need to know to train at Stark Gent.

📜

1. Read the rules. (seriously) They're there to keep you safe but also to make sure we keep a good relationship with the owners of the venue (Boxing Woest). We really like it here so we want to keep our relationship with them pristine. The coach might send you off the mats if you break these rules. Ignorance of the rules excuses no one. Read the rules here. (with gifs)

2. Make sure you're insured. We have a seperate membership for insurance, if you don’t take it yourself we will manually add it to your account. This way we can ensure that even if some small accident happens you’re always covered!

3. Register for classes using the app

We use the app to keep track of people's subscriptions and training habits. This helps us adjust the schedule based on people's preferences and to check in when people aren't coming.

You can download the app by searching for Stark Ghent in the app store.

4. Whatsapp We use out WhatsApp community for lighter and ad-hoc communication around random stuff. Join here.

5. Training outside of Class. Whenever there's a coach in the gym, you're allowed to train. It doesn't matter if it's a boxing coach or a BJJ coach. You can see when there are BJJ classes in the Stark App and you see the live updated boxing schedule here. If there's no class, you can still ask in the WhatsApp group if there's someone there. There's almost always someone there. (Stapho, Dario, Gauthier, Nick, Thomas S. and Thibault V.) have a key.
