TU Delft Gymnasium

First Class Fitness. Personal Gym

The word gym was formerly used for all kinds of ways of exercising.
Often in groups and at school. You went to the gym weekly with your classmates. That took place in the school gymnasium. There was no escaping it. Most students enjoyed it, but not everyone. The curriculum, but especially the teaching style, determined the quality. For instance, it was common for an untrained teacher to lead the class.
With all the awkwardness that entailed. Hours were devoted to korfball and rope climbing. Coddling was often at a very high level in the schools of that time.
Fortunately, this has changed over the years.

From Gym to Gymnastics

Gymnastics is the collective name for all sports that involve some form of acrobatics [source Wiki]. When we think of gymnastics, we mainly think of school gym or gym clubs from our youth. Therapeutic gymnastics is also a part of this. That, in turn, is a type of gymnastics for people with mobility impairments. Fortunately, we no longer use the names gym and gymnastics. These have been replaced by to play sports, training and fitness. If you work at the TU in Delft, you will no longer find the words gym and gymnastics there.

The Gym Philosophy of First Class Fitness Delft

We are convinced that all types of sports, training, and fitness should be offered at all types of educational providers in the Netherlands, whether it be primary, secondary, high school, or university education. Wherever people are learning, some form of sport should be present. In America, for example, it is very normal for sports to be the foundation of education. It is instilled in Americans from a young age. The world would look a lot healthier if everyone considered sports to be a form of education.
