Hello 🥰
Hi! I'm Soha, and I am so happy you're here. The Band'os Club is my passion project, my safe space, and my happy home here in Maastricht.
By day, you'll find me working full-time in my other career in political science for international organizations. I grew up in Egypt, and while my work is important to me, this community is what I need for my soul. It started as something I was building for myself, but I quickly realized that the best things in life feel infinitely better when they're shared.
My approach to our classes is holistic. I’m not here to just be an instructor who delivers a class and leaves. I want us to work together, to connect, and to focus on feeling good from the inside out.
And the workout itself? Well, I love my food extra spicy, and I love my workouts the same way. Get ready for a spicy, sweaty, and powerful class!
My Story 📖
When I first moved to Maastricht, I didn't know a single soul. I came from a country where I was surrounded by a tight-knit group of girlfriends. We lived as a community, you’d go to any workout class, and by the end, you’d have a new bestie.
I tried joining classes here, but that magic, that deep sense of connection, just wasn't there. It felt impersonal.
After a few years of doubting and feeling lonely, I finally said, "If I can't find the community I'm looking for, I'll build it."
The Band'os Club started simply, with just a few of us meeting for classes in the park. But as we moved and sweat together, we built something real. The connection grew strong, and as winter approached, we found our beautiful new home, co-sharing a space with Fly and Flow.
Our Community 🤝
This is so much more than a Pilates class. The Band'os Club is built on a foundation of common respect for each other’s feelings.
Of course, we come for that spicy good sweat. But we also come to feel strong and to acknowledge that on some days, it just feels different. We are accepting of that. We trust the process, and we know that any healthy process doesn't go in a straight line. The best ones are a roller coaster (another obsession of mine!).
My ultimate goal is for you to leave class feeling like you've had a rebirth. Have you ever been skydiving? When I jumped from that plane, it was a moment of pure renewal. That's the feeling I want to share with you.
My absolute favorite moments are when I ask two clients, "Oh wow, you know each other?" and they smile and say: "No, we met here. We became friends." That, to me, is everything.
We are an organic community. We go on coffee dates together every Saturday. We go to the cinema to watch chick flicks with sour candies and popcorn (and cry if we need to!). We even explore new spots in Limburg with our "Pilates in Wonderland" series, our first edition was at the stunning Sint Janskerk, and our second is a magical Nutcracker theme at a castle this December!
We have themed classes, we laugh, we support each other, and we’re always here to bring a little extra shine to life. We're not just working out; we're building a home.
