Olympic Weightlifting test en ontwikkelt explosieve kracht. De mix van kracht en kracht uitgedrukt door precieze technieken is het soort gewichtheffen dat je op de Olympische Spelen ziet. Bij CrossFit Twente kun je aan de slag met Olympisch Gewichtheffen door deel te nemen aan groepslessen of workshops. Het is ook mogelijk om uw gewichthefvaardigheden te ontwikkelen tijdens persoonlijke trainingssessies. Om de sport te promoten (zodat je er een voorproefje van kunt krijgen), organiseren we ook wedstrijden zoals ‘Trekk’n & Stoot’n’.
Het maakt niet uit wat je niveau is – onze atleten variëren van allerlei soorten beginners tot drievoudig nationaal kampioen. Je kunt deelnemen aan de lessen om deel te nemen aan Olympisch gewichtheffen, je technieken te verbeteren of gewoon om van de sport te genieten. Tijdens de lessen ontwikkelen we je kracht en verbeteren we je technieken. Naast dat je steeds meer gewicht kunt tillen, word je gespierder, sterker en strakker. Nadat je steeds meer ervaring hebt opgedaan, kun je de oefeningen gracieus uitvoeren terwijl je de juiste technieken hanteert.
Bij CrossFit Twente vind je alle spullen die je nodig hebt voor Olympisch Gewichtheffen. Onze speciale hefruimte is gevuld met platforms, schokblokken, trekblokken, een powerrack, banken, Eleiko-squatrekken, Eleiko-hefstangen, andere speciale halters en al het krijt dat je nodig hebt. Naast geweldige uitrusting om mee te werken, word je getraind door de beste gewichthefcoaches in de omgeving. We zijn erg trots op het optreden in en het winnen van meerdere nationale en internationale kampioenschappen. En natuurlijk zijn onze coaches gecertificeerd door Eleiko en/of CrossFit.
Olympisch gewichtheffen is een mix van kracht en kracht. Als ze correct worden uitgevoerd, worden oefeningen zoals de snatch, clean en jerk zowel dynamisch als explosief terwijl ze gracieus overkomen. Tijdens lessen, workshops of personal training leren we je:
Of je nu je technieken wilt verbeteren voor de CrossFit lessen of meer explosieve kracht wilt ontwikkelen: Olympic Weightlifting is voor jou.

What drives our members, and why are they hooked on CrossFit?! Read @pietertuchter his story 💛
When and why did you start with CrossFit?
When: I started at Hercules CrossFit Twente University around 2018, as pretty much the only employee among all the students 😅. Around 2022, I made the move to the grown-ups at CrossFit Twente.
Why: I wanted to be all-round fit. Fit enough to go hiking, skiing or cycling whenever I feel like it.
Over the years, though, the social side has become just as important. I almost always leave “the church” feeling better than when I walked in 😇. Great way to clear your head, forget about stress and suffer together for an hour.
What’s your proudest CrossFit moment? ❤️🔥
Probably finishing 2nd at the CrossFit Twente Cup 2025. I hadn’t done much CrossFit that year for personal reasons, so I entered at entry level. It was nice to find out I could still push myself when it mattered and, well… a podium always feels good 😊
What do you love most about our sport?
The combination of strength and endurance, and finding out how far you can push yourself. Especially with other “athletes” or the crowd, shouting at you to keep going when your body has already decided otherwise 😅
What’s the biggest thing CrossFit changed outside the gym?
Probably the social side of it. Turns out talking about CrossFit and Hyrox is almost as much fun as actually doing it 😅. It also led to signing up for a trail run in Austria, joining other workouts, and just doing more things outside the box; running, BBQs, festivals, birthdays… somehow it became more than just working out.🙏🏽

MAYRHOFEN ULTRAKS 🔥
On Saturday, September 5th, a group of CrossFit Twente members will be heading to Austria for the @mayrhofenultraks ! 🏔️🏃♂️
The Mayrhofen Ultraks is a trail running event in the Austrian Alps, where participants take on challenging routes through the mountains, with steep climbs, technical trails and incredible views.
Some of our members will take on the 30 km trail run, while others are going all in for the 50 km challenge. 🤯🙏🏼
They’ve been training hard for weeks to prepare for this adventure, and that’s no small feat! Running 30 or 50 km through the mountains takes serious dedication, strength and perseverance.
