Robin Hendrix
I am a distance runner of 28 years old and I live in Kapelle-op-den-Bos. I started taking part in international championships at the age of 22, and the Olympic Games in Tokyo were the biggest event I ever had the privilege of taking part in. Until last year, I was still studying for my bachelor's degree in architecture at the LUCA school of arts in Brussels. Since this year, I have been practising my sport professionally under contract at Topsport Belgian Defence. I dream of achieving a top 10 place at a World Championship or Olympic Games.

My favourite Etixx products
Recovery Shake PRO LINE: The ideal recovery shake I need after heavy workouts.
Iron 125 AA: I use it to go on altitude training, where it is crucial not to have an iron deficiency. In addition, the included vitamins ensure good absorption.
Night Protein Shake: Helps me to recover well during the night from a heavy training or competition.

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.

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.

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.
