Punch! Women's Health Club

Not "Corona-Proof" TLDR: Punch is a wonderful club in normal times. Just be aware you are taking your own risk and will receive zero support when you get COVID from their club. Definitely not "200% Corona Proof". Punch has been my go-to stress relief and an amazing place to train. I even have been driving there 3-4x a week 30 min each way after I moved. It saved me in the worst of times and I was heartbroken to have to choose to leave. I've lost all respect for the owner and staff. While I accept responsibility that I consciously chose to keep going with COVID being a risk - I did so after being reassured they were making changes and following all RIVM rules. Yet, email notifications keep coming from them in private that students may have been infected and attended your class. It disappoints me that after several people (almere locations) have gotten Corona there, they still boast on their pages that they are 200% corona proof. It's all just a front to make you feel safe and keep making money. I received one of these Corona notification emails a week after the 11th that someone in a class I attended had tested positive. During this week I had not left home, except to go to punch. I work from home, have minimal contact with others, wear a mask and constant wash and disinfect. Punch is the only place I am in close contact with strangers. So it was obvious where I got it when I received a positive test a few days later. Their response time to inform other students that would have been in classes I was in before knowing I was infected is worrying. I emailed on a Friday evening and they did not inform others until monday evening. While I understand their "backoffice is closed on weekends", in times like these you would think they would be taking extra measures to ensure the word gets out asap. Also, had I not contacted the owner, I do not think that anyone would have been informed. As she claimed her staff hadn't informed her of anything at all... only then did she take action. Makes me wonder how many other cases have gone un-notified. When I contacted the owner I also asked if I could end my contract 3 months early as I no longer feel safe going. I understand that everyone ending their contract early due to being scared would be hard on business, but when a student actually contracts corona while at your club, you would think this would be a valid reason. Apparently they don't care or want to take any responsibility here. They have zero remorse or apologies for the situation and will happily take my money for the rest of my contract. So I am stuck paying them for 3 months of a membership I no longer feel comfortable using. To top it off, they now have made it feel personal by posting the next morning a picture of the same club in almere with text half in english 😏 "keep your distance. onze clubs zijn 200% corona proof". Very professional... Your clubs are not corona proof if you keep having to send emails to your students that someone else has been infected each week!

Great place to exercise for women only!

So nice that you can kickbox, do yoga, and have circuit training. And all 3 while you are surrounded by other power women who are all motivated and support each other. There is a relaxed atmosphere, no hatred or nasty looks as you might expect from a lot of women together. Just one unit that focuses on getting fit and healthy living. Good guidance if you want this and fine extras such as an app, fitness testing, eating schedules and multiple locations and times. I have been here for 2 months now to feel better physically and above all mentally and I love it.

I started kickboxing here 2 months ago. Have never had lessons at a kickboxing school before and notice that I learned a lot from the good trainers here. Also my endurance, strength and fitness has increased enormously for a short time because of the good lessons. Every lesson is different. They have a lot to offer here. The atmosphere here is also very nice. I feel at home here since the beginning.

Good atmosphere, nice trainers, good work-out! I would recommend Punch to everyone! I have been training here 3 times a week on average for 2 years now, with lots of fun! You will definitely get fit at Punch! 💥👊🏼
