Get familiar with Olympic Weightlifting

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.

MEET COACH MARTIJN 🤝🏼🇳🇱

How long have you been coaching at CrossFit Twente?
Since 2016, I’ve been officially coaching at CrossFit Twente. I was already a member from the start. It all started with just a few hours a week, and it’s grown from there. Now you see me in the early morning hours, with the kids and teens classes and some other evening classes!

Do you have another job besides coaching? If so, what do you do?
Yes, in addition to coaching at CrossFit Twente, I also coach at CrossFit Hengelo. I create personalized programs for people with more specific goals as well and I offer box programming. So yes, I’m responsible for all the terrible (and fun) workouts at CFT😇

What’s the best part about being a coach?
I love seeing people grow in the gym—whether it’s getting stronger or building confidence in what they can achieve. It’s always rewarding to witness those transformations 🙌🏼

How do you think the members would describe you?
As an honest coach who isn’t afraid to add that extra kilo to the barbell—because I believe in their potential 💪🏽
