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
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 🥰
