Lieke Hijlkema

I’m an enthusiastic and eager-to-learn individual with a strong passion for growth and development. I thrive on challenges, enjoy working collaboratively, and am always looking for ways to improve myself and those around me. I’m honest, practical, and stand by my word. No matter the circumstances, people can count on me.

My favourite Etixx products

My favorite products are without a doubt the Nutritional Energy Gel, Recovery Shake, and Isotonic Drink. The gels give me a quick and efficient energy boost exactly when I need it most during training or competition. After an intense effort, the recovery shakes help my body recharge and recover properly, preparing me for the next challenge. And the isotonic drinks? They keep me hydrated and balanced, even during the toughest workouts. Together, they provide the ideal support for top performance.

Ibtisam Gardabou

Modern pentathlon & athletics

When the alarm clock goes off in the morning, I always look forward to going to train. Exercise is the highlight of my day. As a former gymnast and current endurance athlete, I got involved in an Olympic project with an ambitious goal: to be the first Belgian to qualify for the Olympic Games in the modern pentathlon. Since then, every day has become even more meaningful.

Dimitri Gelders

Triathlon & Duathlon

With over 15 years of experience and passion for triathlon and duathlon, I am active both as an athlete and a coach. As a coach/personal trainer at Triathlon Team 4P and Beweeg Meer Hans Van Alphen, I guide athletes of different levels towards their personal goals.

Jana Van Lent

Cross-Country, 5km, 10km

Sports were instilled in me from a young age, and soon I, like my brother and sister, got involved in athletics. Long-distance running is a form of relaxation therapy for me, even though my goal is to reach the top. As a dietitian, I traded the nurturing spoon for the Etixx gels, which I hope, just like the nurturing spoon, will help me grow big—but in sports.
