Table tennis
I am a motivated person who likes to keep busy, you can usually find me with a full diary and a smile on my face. I became an ambassador for Etixx this year, but I have been using the products for much longer. I often suffer from energy dips and I have found the solution to this in Etixx’s products, including the Sport Gummies and the Energy Sport Bars. But, looking forward to the Recovery products afterwards can also increase motivation during training. The Etixx ambassadors team is a great group and I am proud to be a part of it!

CrossFit
I am Marieke, 28 years old and devoted to CrossFit. CrossFit has become increasingly popular among athletes in the last few years, which makes me very happy! It is a sport that constantly challenges me. I ask a lot of my body and, with Etixx’s support, I can continue to do so.

Running
Hellooo! I am Inge, soon to be 30. Although I used to prefer shorter distances (400m), I am currently enjoying long endurance runs in particular. I have completed my first half marathon. 2020 was supposed to be the year of my marathon, but unfortunately... Luckily, running is something we can also enjoy on our own. I have now been an Etixx ambassador for just over a year. Although I was totally not into sports nutrition before, I have now more than discovered the benefits. Using the right products at the right time really can make a world of difference, not just before, during or after your training runs, but certainly also in competitions. And no, you definitely don't have to be a professional athlete for that. The main lesson I’ve learned thanks to my experience with Etixx is that your body works like a car. With the right fuel and a small amount of timely maintenance, you will always get further.
