Powerlifting gaat over het opbouwen pure kracht. Het mooie van deze discipline is dat het voor iedereen geschikt is. Deze vorm van gewichtheffen richt zich op de drie pijlers van krachttraining: de squat, benchpress en de deadlift.
Net als bij al onze andere groepslessen maakt het niet uit wat je niveau als sporter is. Op basis van je eigen ervaring zullen onze coaches je helpen de beste techniek te vinden op basis van je lichaamstype. Terwijl we de technieken steeds beter uitvoeren, beginnen we het gewicht op te tellen tot je je absolute maximum hebt bereikt. We doen dit door telkens te werken in cyclussen van 10 weken waarbij we in elke cyclus dus focus leggen op één van de 3 technieken. Oefeningen zoals de squat, benchpress en de deadlift hebben grote voordelen voor de botdichtheid, spieromvang, kracht en een betere houding. Dit alles zal helpen om je lichaamssamenstelling en je volledige zelfvertrouwen te verbeteren.
Onze gekwalificeerde coaches leren je de kneepjes van het powerliften. Wij werken met alle apparatuur die een powerlifter nodig heeft. Denk aan powerracks, rubberen en metalen platen, speciale staven zoals safety squat bar en trap bar, sleds, zware zandzakken en ander Strongman materiaal.
Het maakt niet uit of je zoveel mogelijk gewicht wilt verplaatsen, je lichaamsbouw of houding wilt verbeteren. Op basis van je doelen geven de coaches je oefeningen en gewichten die bij je doelen passen. Tijdens de Powerlifting lessen leren we je:
EXTRA CONDITIONING CLASS 🔥
To help you take your cardiovascular endurance to the next level, we’re expanding our conditioning offering. In addition to our succesfull Friday Conditioning class, we’re adding a brand new session on Wednesdays, focused on VO2 Max & Threshold training.
Both classes are designed to improve your aerobic capacity, stamina, and overall fitness—perfect whether you’re training for a specific event or just want to push your limits.
Conditioning | VO2 Max & Threshold
Wednesdays at 8 PM
This new class targets two essential endurance systems: VO2 max (your body’s ability to use oxygen) and threshold (your ability to hold a hard pace). Together, they’re key to improving performance and building a solid aerobic engine.
Led by Coach Steve—a seasoned trail runner with multiple ultra marathons under his belt—each session starts with a clear explanation. Steve trains alongside you, but he’s always open to questions.
Conditioning
Fridays at 5 PM
This class focuses on longer efforts and higher volume. Less skill, more grind. It’s ideal for HYROX athletes, obstacle racers, trail runners, or anyone wanting a tough conditioning workout to cap off the week.
Also coached by Steve, who brings his deep experience and energy to every session. He is excited to help you with everything you need to prepare for an event.
Both classes are open to all levels. Join us and start building serious endurance.
