Nice box close to hotel.  The entry was on street level with the workout spaces one level down and bathrooms one level below that.  It was tight quarters with 24 people in class sharing 3 squat stations.  About 18 guys and 6 gals.  Coaching was good with reminder to stay back on heels.  Drop in was 30 euros plus 3 euros for warm Fit-Aid.  They did not have any XL shirts.

Everybody got name tags at the start.

Loved this box.  Founded in 2009 and the oldest box in Amsterdam, they had a huge space with pull-up bars along the walls, cool graffiti on the walls, strongman stones, parallettes, parallel bars and a really good vibe.  Big class with about 30 people.  They did have an XL shirt and I grabbed one.  20 euro drop in, 30 euro shirt, 3 euro ice cold Fit-Aid.
