Analyst note

A boutique CrossFit and strength studio in the Dansaert quarter, affiliated with the VGPF federation and flagged by a specialist directory as one of Brussels' only two genuinely strength-focused gyms. Also Reformer Pilates and a community café, because it's still Dansaert.

Legitimate iron. A touch of polish, but the work counts.

A
Rating: LegitReal iron, lightly polished. The work counts.
