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.

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.
ConditioningÂ
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.
