We believe that CrossFit is suitable for everyone, regardless of age. Every exercise is scalable to your level. However, we understand that it can be nice to exercise at your own pace and with peers of your own age. For this reason, we offer special 50+ classes.
According to the physical activity guidelines, adults should move at least 2.5 hours of moderate intensity activity per week, as well as activities that strengthen muscles and bones. All of these reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart and vascular diseases, depressive symptoms, and bone fractures. By participating in our CrossFit classes you will give a perfect interpretation to this.
CrossFit is an all-round training program that aims to improve strength, endurance, flexibility, balance, coordination, and more. We work with functional movements that are applied in daily life, such as a “deadlift” when you pick up something from the floor, a “squat” when you stand up from a chair, or a “farmers walk” when you carry shopping bags. In essence, we say by doing CrossFit, you are prepared for whatever life throws at you!
THANK YOU, COACH IRENE 💛
After many years of coaching Gymnastics at CrossFit Twente, Irene is stepping away from her regular Monday evening classes.
We have seen Irene grow over the years into a true Gymnastics expert. Her knowledge, attention to detail and genuine passion for helping people improve have made her such a valuable part of our coaching team.
And our members clearly felt the same. In our member surveys, Irene’s Gymnastics classes were regularly rated with a 10. A pretty great reflection of the impact she has had on our community.
We are definitely going to miss having Irene as our Monday night Gymnastics coach and, of course, we are going to miss her expertise on the floor.
Luckily, Irene is not leaving CFT, she will still be training with us and we are sure we will see her coaching from time to time too.
For now, we wish Irene many wonderful, well deserved and free Monday evenings ☺️
Thank you for everything, Irene. We are incredibly grateful to have had you as part of our coaching team 🙏🏼

TECHNIQUE > CONSISTENCY > INTENSITY
This is how we build fitness 💪🏽
Everyone starts with learning the right technique. Then, by showing up consistently and repeating the movements, that technique gets sharper over time.
Once the movement becomes more natural and efficient, we can gradually turn up the intensity.
Better technique.
More consistency.
Higher intensity.
And ultimately: a fitter, stronger and more capable you 🔥
That’s the process. And it takes time 🙏🏽
What drives our members, and why are they hooked on CrossFit?! Read @maaike_thephoenix her story 💛
When and why did you start with CrossFit?
About ten years ago. “Back in the days” 🙈 it was the new, exciting, challenging thing. And I loved it! ❤️
What’s your proudest CrossFit moment?
Doing the Bar muscle up again after having a baby (took me almost 4 years😅)
What do you love most about our sport?
Seeing the progress, even after 10 years, crossfit pushes me out of my comfortzone. But most of all the community, the people. It’s not just a sport 🙏🏼
What’s the biggest thing CrossFit changed outside the gym?
I made so many good memories with people I met at CFT. We went from technoparties, to weddings, to babies. 🎶💍👼🏻 Made some friends for life 🥰
