Intro Course

The principles of CrossFit

Home > Get started

Start with CrossFit

In a small group setting our Coaches will teach you the movements and principles required to get the most out of our CrossFit training program. This course is designed for beginners and is adjustable for all fitness levels. Besides the foundational movements we will also teach our view on lifestyle, sleep and nutrition. The course consists of 5 sessions:

Session 1 – Squat – Air Squat, Front Squat & Overhead Squat
Session 2 – Pressing – Shoulder Press, Push Press & Push Jerk
Session 3 – Pulling – Deadlift, Sumo Deadlift High pull & Medicine Ball Clean
Session 4 – Basics of Weightlifting – Snatch & Clean and Jerk
Session 5 – Basics of Gymnastics – Pull-ups, Push-ups, Dips, Handstands & Muscle Ups

If you are unable to make it to one of these classes you can catch up in the next course or in a 1-on-1 session. After all five classes are completed you are ready to join our CrossFit group classes.

If you have experience with CrossFit you may be able to skip the Intro Course. Please contact us and we will arrange a personal assessment.

MEET COACH JOSÉ 🤝🏼

How long have you been coaching at CrossFit Twente?
I started one year ago as an assistant coach for the “Intro lessons” every Saturday morning. I also help out with the regular classes from time to time.

What is your training background and why do we see you training for yourself mostly at CFT?
I was in the military for almost 10 years and started with CrossFit in 2021. The discipline of CrossFit training is both physically and mentally challenging, which I find very rewarding. Since 2023, I’ve been training exclusively in Olympic weightlifting here at CFT. 🏋🏼‍♀️

What do you enjoy most about being a coach?
I love seeing people achieve their personal goals and grow stronger. The team spirit that emerges in group sessions is also something I really enjoy witnessing. 💪🏼

How do you think the members would describe you?
I think they’d describe me as the coach with Latin music, good vibes, and tough workouts. 😎 Maybe even a bit like a soldier..😂🫡

Thank you José, we are super happy to have you in our team!⭐️
