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.

24 hours. Countless reps. One incredible community. 💪🔥
The 24 Hour AMRAP is officially done and we couldn’t be prouder of everyone who took on this unbelievable challenge. To every athlete who pushed through, every volunteer who helped, every supporter who cheered us on and everyone who donated to our cause, thank you. ❤️
This event is about so much more than fitness. It’s about teamwork, determination and coming together for something bigger than ourselves.
We did it again, together. 🙌
Clean & Jerks are on the program today in our CrossFit classes! 💪 Time to sharpen your technique and build confidence under the guidance of our coaches.

Throwback to last year’s 24 Hour AMRAP Challenge. What an incredible journey and above all an unforgettable experience together 💛

On June 13th & 14th, we’re organizing the 24-hour AMRAP for charity once again. After raising nearly €3000 for suicide prevention last year, we want to come together again to raise awareness for mental health. 💛
This event means a lot to us, as we lost a beloved member of our community 2 years ago. Through this challenge, we want to support one another and create more awareness around mental health.
During the event, teams will complete as many reps as possible of a specific exercise every hour for 24 hours straight. Everyone at Crossfit Twente is welcome to join, whether for a few hours or the full overnight experience.
This year, signing up is easier through the Crossfit Twente app. You can register for a 2-hour block, join your own team, or we’ll place you in one.
We’re also raising money for 113 Zelfmoordpreventie. Scan the QR code or go to the link in bio and donate 💛
Many of our members are taking on HYROX Heerenveen this weekend! 🔥💪
