10x Special sports venues

From weightlifting in the Philips Stadion to working out in a church, Eindhoven offers some truly extraordinary sports locations. Whether you're into freerunning, boxing, or discus throwing, these ten unique spots will get you fired up to smash your fitness goals.

Urban Sportpark

In the middle of Drents Dorp, right behind the Evoluon, you'll find the largest urban sports park in the Benelux: the Urban Sportpark. This is your playground for skating, football, running, BMXing on a pump track, and even freerunning. Training for an obstacle race or aiming for the Dutch Calisthenics Championship? You've got this. You can even join lessons given by volunteers!

Sportpark Strijp

With four football fields, three tennis courts, and two handball fields, Sportpark Strijp is the ultimate spot to get moving outdoors. But that’s not all—this park is a frontrunner in sustainable energy. Fun fact: the heat stored under the artificial turf is used to warm up 100 homes.

Trifecta Sport

Working out on sacred ground—yes, you heard that right. In the renovated Paduakerk on Fazantlaan, Darryl and Ali have opened the heavenly doors to Trifecta Sport. Their team will guide you through intense circuit training, teach you sharper boxing techniques, and help you gain a deeper understanding of your body and its capabilities.

Basic-Fit Philips Stadion

Working out inside the Philips Stadion—who wouldn’t want that? From personal training to group classes, or following your own program at your own pace, you’ll be training in the same place where Champions League dreams come true!

Area 51

No worries, the name has nothing to do with the military airbase in Nevada. At Area 51 in Eindhoven, you'll find 2800 square meters of urban sports! Think BMX, scootering, and skateboarding in the halfpipe, plus breakdancing and hip hop in dedicated dance studios. Want to know more about Area 51? Check out the A in the Eindhoven A-Z.

Eindhoven Gym

At Eindhoven Gym, they’re all about making you stronger—physically and mentally. In the basement of one of the largest former Philips office buildings in Eindhoven, you can train and join group classes in powerlifting, bootcamp, yoga, and crossfit. With over 60 classes per week, there's no room for excuses!

Eindhoven Atletiek

On the outskirts of the city, you'll find Eindhoven Atletiek for sprinters, shot putters, discus throwers, and pole vaulters. Located at Sportpark de Hondsheuvels, you'll also find seven football fields for a game of soccer and a (student) golf club.

Peakz Padel

One sport that has quickly gained immense popularity is padel. Padel courts are popping up everywhere, like Peakz Padel at Vibes Eindhoven. Another variant is pickle ball, a similar sport combining tennis, ping pong, and badminton. Wondering where you can try it? Head over to Sporthal de Vijfkamp!

Dynamo

In the heart of Eindhoven, you’ll find Dynamo, a cultural stage and living room for many of the city’s subcultures. Besides music, there’s also a wide (and affordable) range of sports on offer: from boxing and breakdancing to vogue dancing, pole fitness, and E-Sports. Speaking of affordable, a boxing class costs just €2.50!

Monk Eindhoven

It's like being Spiderman climbing up the wall—sounds like a dream come true, right? Whether you're a complete beginner or conquering that climbing wall in no time, at Monk on Strijp-S, you can boulder at all levels. It’s a cozy, relaxed spot where, during the summer months, you can unwind after your workout with a cold drink and a pizza from De Pizzerij.
