Hard work is in our DNA, but it’s just as important to let go from time to time and recharge. Exercising together not only helps create a healthy mind and body, but also builds strong connections between colleagues.
Sport inside & outside the Potatoverse
Sport is more than just a fun extra, it's an essential part of our daily rhythm
We believe that moving your body fuels not only your health, but also your happiness, energy and focus at work. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete, a casual runner, a yoga lover or simply someone who enjoys an active lifestyle, we want to make sure you feel supported every step (or pedal stroke) of the way.
That’s why we’ve made sure our workplaces are set up for movement. At our headquarters in Wielsbeke, for example, you’ll find everything you need to weave sport into your daily routine: showers, changing rooms and lockers to keep your gear safe and sound. Planning to commute by bike? No problem. Park your bike safely in our bike area and while you’re at it, give your e-bike battery a quick recharge at the integrated charging stations — so you’re all set for your ride home, full of energy 🚴♂️⚡.
For those who like to push their limits even further, there’s a Finnish running track that loops around our site in Wielsbeke. Perfect for a pre-work run, a lunch break jog, or a breath of fresh air at the end of the day. Whether you’re training for your next race or just clearing your head, the track is yours to enjoy.
And of course, it doesn’t stop there. From Monday yoga to Tuesday core stability and Thursday bootcamp, there’s always an opportunity to stretch, strengthen, or sweat it out together at our Agristo headquarters. In Nazareth, our very own mini football team hits the field regularly for some friendly (but fierce 😉) matches.
But sport isn’t only something we do between meetings or before the workday starts — it’s also a way to connect and challenge ourselves outside the Potatoverse. Our Potatoholics love to take their sporty spirit beyond the factory gates, pushing boundaries, having fun and creating unforgettable memories together. From conquering muddy obstacles to competing in tournaments against other companies, there’s always something exciting happening 🏃♀️🚴♂️!
Take the Jekri Run, where our athletic Potatoholics proudly don their Agristo shirts to overcome obstacles together. Or the Teamtrophy in Deinze, which brings colleagues from different departments together for a full day of teamwork, fun and healthy competition. And let’s not forget the Prijkels Cup, where we proved that we take not only potatoes but also sporting challenges seriously 🏃♂️🥇!
It's all about balance
We believe in finding the perfect balance between hard work and healthy movement. With the right facilities, plenty of opportunities and a sporty spirit that stretches far beyond the Potatoverse, we make it easy — and fun! — to stay active, wherever and whenever you like.
