CrossFit is a fitness program developed by Coach Greg Glassman which was designed to improve general health and athletic performance for anyone at any level.
It is an ideal training regime for anyone who wants to get fitter and stronger. CrossFit training methodology includes weightlifting technique, gymnastics skills, metabolic conditioning as well as strength training. We use functional movements that strengthen the core.
Our gym is equipped with kettlebells, medicine balls, barbells, jump ropes and pull-up bars. We go back to basics and work with functional movements. The exercises that we do are the same movements that you use during your daily life. In other words, movements that are useful to you as a human being.
By offering a constantly varied program, you will never get bored in our classes. We offer a different workout every day, in which we vary in exercises, repetitions, weights and duration. This makes our training program not only super fun but also challenging.
We use workouts with functional movements, constantly varied executed with high intensity, to achieve the results you are looking for. Intensity is a shortcut to results, and every workout can be adjusted to your fitness level. Young or old, everyone works towards the same goal, to become stronger and fitter.
With our program you work on improving the ten physical properties of fitness: cardio respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance and accuracy. With this we prepare you for every physical challenge in life.
World-Class Fitness in 100 words:
“Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.” – Greg Glassman

End of an Era ✨
After almost 16 incredible years, we say goodbye to the founder of CrossFit Twente, the man who started it all as one of the pioneers of CrossFit in the Netherlands. As the second CrossFit box in the country, he built not just a gym, but a community that has impacted countless lives. It’s truly the end of an era.
Jan, we are thankful for the place and spirit you created. ❤️
We will miss you, and yes, even the always generous rowing tips, inchworms in every class, vacuuming during events, and your ‘friendly’ messages on the whiteboard. 😅
Join us to celebrate his legacy on Sunday, June 29, 12.00-15.00 at his farewell drink — everyone is welcome, members and non-members alike! 🥂
Want to join one last class with him at 10:00 or 11:00 AM?
Not a member but want to join? Send us a DM! 💪
Let’s give him the send-off he deserves 🙏🏽
De Week van de Mentale Gezondheid
Afgelopen jaar hebben wij afscheid moeten nemen van een dierbaar lid van onze community. Het heeft ons diep geraakt en sindsdien staan wij – niet alleen deze week, maar eigenlijk elke dag – stil bij het belang van mentale gezondheid.
We weten nu uit pijnlijke ervaring wat de gevolgen kunnen zijn als iemand het mentaal zwaar heeft en geen uitweg meer ziet. Dat mag nooit als een eenzaam gevecht voelen. Bij ons sta je er niet alleen voor.
Onze gym is meer dan alleen een plek om fysiek sterker te worden – het is ook een plek voor steun, verbinding en herstel. Een veilige omgeving waar je mag zijn wie je bent, met alles wat je met je meedraagt. Onze deuren staan altijd open.
Om bij te dragen aan bewustwording én actie, organiseren wij op 21 en 22 juni de 24 Hour AMRAP Challenge. Hiermee willen we geld inzamelen voor Stichting 113 Zelfmoordpreventie – zodat hulp en hoop bereikbaar blijven voor iedereen die het nodig heeft.

Samen zijn we sterker. 💛

Mental Health Awareness Week
Last year, we had to say goodbye to a beloved member of our community. It left a deep mark on us, and since then, mental health has been something we reflect on — not just this week, but every single day.
We’ve seen firsthand the painful consequences when someone struggles mentally and feels there’s no way out. No one should ever feel alone in that battle. And here, you’re not.
Our gym is more than just a place to get physically stronger — it’s a place of support, connection, and healing. A safe space where you can be yourself, with everything you carry. Our doors are always open.
To raise awareness and take action, we’re organizing the 24 Hour AMRAP Challenge on June 21st and 22nd. With this event, we aim to raise funds for 113 Suicide Prevention — helping ensure support and hope remain within reach for those who need it most.

Together, we are stronger. 💛
