Olympic Weightlifting tests and develops explosive strength. The mixture of power and strength expressed through precise techniques is the kind of weightlifting you see at the Olympic Games. At CrossFit Twente, you can get started on Olympic Weightlifting by joining group classes or workshops. It’s also possible to develop your weightlifting skills during personal training sessions. To promote the sport (so you can get a taste of it), we also host competitions like ‘Trekk’n & Stoot’n’.
It doesn’t matter what your level is— our athletes range from all kinds of beginners to a three-time National Champion. You can join the classes to either compete in Olympic Weightlifting, improve your techniques or to simply enjoy the sport. During the classes, we’ll develop your strength and upgrade your techniques. Besides being able to lift more and more weight, you’ll become more muscular, stronger and toned. After gaining more and more experience, you’ll be able to gracefully perform the exercises while handling the right techniques.
At CrossFit Twente, you’ll find all the gear you need for Olympic Weightlifting. Our dedicated lifting area is filled with platforms, jerk blocks, pulling blocks, a power rack, benches, Eleiko squat racks, Eleiko lifting bars, other specialty barbells and all the chalk you need. Besides great gear to work with, you’ll be trained by the best weightlifting coaches in the area— we take a lot of pride in performing in and winning multiple National and International Championships. And, our coaches are of course certified by Eleiko and/or CrossFit.
OUR OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING CLASSES

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. 💛
