SPORTJA was established in 2014 with the aim of creating an environment to help athletes of all levels reach their potential, using high-quality equipment and professional guidance. At SPORTJA, you come to train purposefully under the supervision of experienced trainers, all of whom have their own passion and expertise in strength and conditioning sports.
The Klauw brothers founded SPORTJA because they wanted to lift heavy in a raw environment. The only options available at the time were the standard gyms, which did not meet their needs. Inspired by the garage gyms from America, they were able to fulfill this need in the large hall where SPORTJA is located. They soon discovered that more people had this need, as the gym grew quickly.
Where the raw and harsh atmosphere was once central, SPORTJA evolved over the years into a more open and accessible place. At the same time, the brothers van der Klauw distanced themselves more from the company and Ben took over. Ben has further focused on openness and accessibility by investing in more equipment and the appearance of the company.
We will always maintain our raw edge and are never afraid of hard training. Yet, we do our best to welcome everyone and work on becoming the best version of themselves.
