As studio owners, we romanticise the idea of having our own members — a loyal community with genuine connections and personal service.

But over the last decade, group fitness has become so diverse that while prices kept rising, clients began craving the freedom to combine different workouts from different studios instead of committing to just one.

Platforms like ClassPass and Urban Sports Club filled that gap, offering flexible memberships clients loved — but they also weakened the direct relationships studios once had with their members, while studios became increasingly dependent on them for revenue.

And we totally get it: your body craves different workout styles, and your mind needs variety to stay motivated. Our focus is solely on barre because we want to give you the highest possible quality — but true boutique studios, by nature, can’t offer everything under one roof. For many, third-party platforms felt like the only option.

Yet somewhere along the way, we went from personal interactions at the front desk to silent check-ins through apps and QR-codes. You went from our personal customer service to dealing with third-party helpdesks.
And studios went from being financially self-reliant, to unsustainably dependent and exploited by corporate giants.

This is not the culture we envisioned when we opened our studio and we want to try transitioning out of this.

So, it’s time to adapt. Times have changed, and so must memberships. If we want to rebuild those genuine connections and regain our independence, we need to offer you a new structure.

✨ Introducing the Mini Membership ✨
4 class credits per month — €39
6 class credits per month — €54

Made for those who don’t need a full membership but still want to be part of our community — allowing you to combine workouts from different studios, while still supporting us directly.

It’s more than just a membership - it’s a movement to support independent fitness culture.

Last month we celebrated the 5th anniversary of our very first studio, which for us has been one of those moments in life where you take a second to reflect. Celebrating is fun, but it’s just as important to use these moments as opportunities to look back on what you have achieved, to check in on what it is you stand for, and how you want to move forward.

When we started FORM it was just the two of us, and although we have acquired an elite team of diverse trainers who you all know and love, we are proud to say that at after all these years, at the end of the day, it’s still us two: still personally training every instructor, creating every playlist, answering every email, fixing every leak, tightening every screw and still paying off the loans we had to take out to get this company off the ground.

There is no one else. No foreign investors, no board of directors, no faceless corporation or absent CEO. What you see is what you get - and what you got is the same two, fully invested, hands-on, small business owners as the day we started, and we’re pretty damn proud of that.

We’ve never used expensive marketing campaigns, luxury or fluff to lure clients in or to convince you that we’re the best. All we’ve ever tried, and will continue to try, is to offer a high quality class that is both tough and fun. We got where we are now because of the consistency in our team and in our classes - word of mouth did the rest.

The fitness industry has changed a lot since we started - both in the way it’s being offered as well as in the way it is consumed. Because we started this company from scratch with nothing but passion and craft, we care way too much about our principals to give in to certain trends and habits. As a result, our studios, classes and policies may not resonate with everyone and that’s okay. We feel incredibly fortunate to have catered to an amazing group of passionate students so far and we feel confident that our brand’s genuine atmosphere and tone will continue to attract the right crowd.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us on our journey 🤍 Let’s keep getting sweaty

With pride and gratitude,
Italy and Satchel

“I have a background in dance and musical theatre from the Lucia Marthas Institute of Performing Arts, so health and happiness have always gone hand in hand for me. I discovered FORM through my favourite teacher, Natascha, and immediately experienced the effectiveness and joy of the workout!

The music, the personal approach, the professional instruction and the contagious fun and enthusiasm - these are all things that really appeal to me about FORM and I’m so excited to guide and inspire others through this powerful workout experience!

One of my favourite exercises is doing crunches with a ball placed under the shoulder blades - challenging you to engage your abs while maintaining your balance. I love the intense but rewarding core-burn it gives you at the end of class.”

Meet your new FORM teachers:

- Rosalie -

“I studied dance here in Amsterdam and have been working both as a professional dancer and dance/ballet teacher. I’ve been taking classes at FORM for a long time: it’s been a great workout for me as a dancer to increase my strength. When a friend of mine told me they were hiring, it felt like a great opportunity for me to join the team!

What I like most about FORM Barre is that you can determine the level of difficulty yourself, depending on your level and input. I also enjoy the hints of inspiration it uses from ballet, which is still close to my heart :)

I absolutely love the diamond shape - both standing and on lying down - the burn is everywhere!”

“Since the first studio opened in Oost, FORM has been a core part of my routine. I work as an actress and content specialist, and FORM is truly the place where I clear my head and always walk out with new, positive energy. All the teachers are amazing. So when I got asked to become a teacher myself, I couldn’t be more excited to join the team!

What I love most about FORM is how each class is so well-structured, with motivating playlists that push you through every rep. The studios have a nice, welcoming vibe where you instantly feel at home. No matter how intense the workout, you’ll always leave with a smile :)

My favorite move? Glute bridges! So simple, yet so effective — you’ll feel the burn instantly and trust me, the next-day soreness is no joke 🔥

I can’t wait to welcome you all to my class. See you on the mat soon!”

Meet your new FORM teachers:

- Tim -

“I’ve been dancing my whole life and did various dance studies in Amsterdam and New York City - I love being on stage, and I also teach dance classes.

I started taking class at FORM because of my Jazz teacher - ever since then I’ve been in love and kept coming back.

It’s so amazing to maintain your body through barre classes: it targets everything you need. The smaller muscles get activated so quickly, and combining it with the amazing music keeps you pushing your limits.

I LOVE the full fold over. The range of motion within this position just feels so freeing but it’s a killer at the same time. I guess it’s a love / hate relationship :)“

Meet your new FORM teachers:

- Bojoura -

“I’ve been working as a professional dancer ever since graduating from the Lucia Marthas Institute for Performing Arts. After working in theatre casts on cruise ships for a while, I wanted to find a way to apply my skills in Amsterdam. After my first class at FORM, I was sold: a high-intensity, low-impact, badass workout that’s accessible and effective for everyone, regardless of your experience!

I do like to burn the b***y - but what I like most about FORM Barre is that you can focus on every little part of your body: it’s so painful, but so worth it!”

What We’re About

After operating out of various temporary pop-up spaces for over a year, FORM has finally opened its first studio in Amsterdam on the Eerste Oosterparkstraat! At FORM, we offer dynamic, technique-based barre and yoga classes, where we focus on body awareness and proper ex*****on - because above all else, we believe that executing the right form leads to results.

And we love results.

Now, let's get sweaty.
