Jaron - Upkot coach
Meet Jaron

Your upkot coach

Jaron is always on the move. Running through Ghent or flying by on his road bike, preferably with a stop at a cosy brown café. Because after effort comes relaxation. And that goes for his students too. With a listening ear, he eases study stress. With fun activities, he brings Upkotters together. And when that leads to couples, best friends and real family vibes? That’s when Jaron couldn’t be more proud.

Always something going on

Upkot community

Living together means creating everyday memories that last a lifetime. Spilling spaghetti and feeding the Upkot chickens. Silent disco in the kitchen. Pre-drinks and post-party hangovers. Laughing till you cry. Netflix & chill. The Big Upkot Party and a quick football match.
