Read more >Every Thursday, the gloves go on and bangs echo through the room. Led by former kickboxing champion Robbie Hageman, there is a fanatic boxing training going on.
Tim has been boxing with a diverse group of colleagues for many years and visibly enjoys it. Tim: ‘It's an incredibly fun way to keep fit, it’s good for my posture and it's also a really sociable club.’
Tim has since acquired the nickname Donkey Kong from his colleagues. Chuckling, he says: ‘Apparently my hooks are quite hard. I always go full throttle, it's in me. Whether at work, or while boxing. I like to get the most out of myself, every day. Just like many colleagues around me for that matter,' he adds.
According to Tim, the thing that makes boxing at Sioux extra enjoyable is the connection it creates with colleagues from other disciplines. ‘I train with both men and women from Mathware, Software, HR and Mechanics. It is precisely this mix that makes it extra valuable and fun for me.'
Besides providing a space to exercise, initiatives to stay fit are extra encouraged by Sioux from the VitaliTech budget. Annually, each employee receives €1,000 gross to spend on health, sports and gadgets. From boxing gloves to sports watches, as long as it affects the mental or physical health of the employees.
