We teach in two age groups: Kids (9-13 years) and Teens (13-17 years).
With the Kids, the emphasis is on fun, cooperation and self-confidence. For the Teens, the emphasis is on the Crossfit Fundamentals and Workouts. Crossfit Kids given by specifically trained trainers is safe and has no risks of developmental problems.
What do we do with the Kids (9-13yrs)?
With the Kids, the focus is on fun, cooperation and self-confidence. We use derived Crossfit movements such as the squat, pushing and pulling movements, lifting, moving, jumping and interval conditioning forms. This is often in game form. The emphasis is not on performance, but on improvement. Through play, children develop many skills and thus improve in strength, speed, coordination, condition and self-confidence.
What do we do at the Teens (13-17yrs)
Teenagers are physically fit to learn the Crossfit Fundamentals such as Gymnastics, Olympic Weightlifting and Interval Conditioning Training. This is built up in a responsible way because teenagers are still developing. By learning Crossfit Fundamentals and performing workouts, teens become faster, stronger and more confident.
My child is not (yet) very skilled in motor skills. Can he/she participate in the lesson?
Yes, of course. All children can participate. The exercises are adapted per child to his or her level. We perform many exercises side by side and yet we work in groups. Many children progress quickly when they participate in the lesson.
My child has performance anxiety or finds it very exciting to participate. Is Crossfit suitable?
Yes, of course. All children are taken care of by our experienced trainers and can immediately participate in the lesson. They will have positive experiences from the first lesson, which will increase their self-confidence.
At Crossfit Kids, children develop strength, speed, coordination and condition in a safe way. It is not a program aimed at becoming as strong as possible. Training takes place in a responsible manner and the trainers are trained to work safely with children.
At what age can my child join the Teens group?
Based on the physical and socio-emotional development, the age at which the child can join the Teens group is determined together with the child and parents. This will usually be around seventh grade.
My son/daughter is already on a sport. Is Crossfit suitable for doing this on the side?
Yes, of course. At Crossfit we develop strength, coordination, speed and fitness. This is an excellent foundation for any sport.

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. 💛
