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.

Running, (Gravel)cycling, Inline skating

An enthusiastic exercise coach, chocolate-lover, passionate entrepreneur and endurance sportsman with a mission: to help as many people as possible in their search for happiness.

An Vannieuwenhuyse

Bobsleigh

After a (youth) career in athletics, I switched to the Belgian bobsleigh team. After a few years, I retrained from brakewoman to pilot, while also completing my Masters in physiotherapy. In 2015, I was employed part-time by Sport Flanders as pilot and I am now about to start my 10th bobsleigh season. Qualifying for the Olympic Winter Games in 2018 was an amazing feeling and made me dream of doing more in 2022, in Beijing. I now practise my sport full time, while also being a proud Godmother to my nephew, the apple of my eye. I am very proud to be part of the Etixx ambassadors team, a super-talented and motivated group of athletes and sports enthusiasts. Being supported by such a professional company with good-quality, clean products gives me an extra push to achieve my dream of a top result in Beijing 2022!

Fleur Hooyberghs

Athletics - Pole Vault

I am Fleur, 23 years old, pole vaulter and physiotherapy student. I have been on the athletics track since I was 6 years old. At 15, I specialised in pole vaulting. Sport is my hobby and my passion. I am a competitive animal, love to push my physical limits and I am driven to reach my goals. Besides the athletics track, you can also find me among my school books, on the racing bike or in a cosy coffee bar. Etixx products support me to perform optimally during busy training and competition periods and thus further pursue my goals.
