Jana Van Steenbrugghe
I am Jana, 24-year-old, recruiter, duathlete, bon vivant and friend of cyclist. Always looking for sporting challenges and physical and mental kicks. Driven by (sometimes too) challenging race goals, constant personal development and long distance challenges that pull me out of my comfort zone. Further passionate about healthy and balanced (sports) nutrition, which makes me very proud to be an Etixx Ambassador. I can always trust the products of Etixx to help me reach my sporting goals.

My favourite Etixx products
Difficult choice!
For me, the High Protein Shake is a very versatile and convenient product that I use almost every day. Mixed in with my oatmeal, Greek yoghurt, or simply as a recovery shake after a short strength training session. It also fits perfectly into my low-carb diet.
The Natural Oat Sport Bar is also a favourite. With this bar in my pocket, I can rest assured that I won't get hungry. It is also very tasty!

Triathlon
I am passionate about sports. Since I was little I admired professional athletes because I grew up in a family passionate about sports. When I started practicing triathlon, a sport that brought together three passions, I dreamed of being what I am now, and being able to participate in some Olympic Games. I feel fortunate to be part of the Etixx team, but above all, to maintain it over time and that they continue to trust me and my work. It is a luxury to work with a brand like this, which makes you feel valued and loved.

Athletics
I am Stijn Fincioen and I have been doing athletics for over 25 years now. In addition to being an athlete, I am also a ‘Trainer A’ [top-level trainer] for middle distance/long distance. I now pass on my experience and knowledge to my athletes at Olympic Brugge and the West-Vlaamse Alliantie (WVA) I was already there when Etixx was launched and I feel particularly good with these products. They provide good support alongside my daily diet. In 2019, I became an Etixx ambassador. I am happy that, as an ambassador, I can share my experiences with other athletes so that they can prepare themselves optimally according to their personal goals.

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!
