GymBokx on the Kanaaldijk in Helmond is a big all-round gym: fitness, group classes, CrossFit, HYROX and its own BoksFit school. Among all that sits a serious powerlifting programme, and you can see it in the kit.
You train on IPF-approved equipment, with a combo rack like the ones you'll meet at competitions. There are twelve deadlift platforms, so no waiting for a spot to pull. There are also extra CrossFit racks.
Every week there are powerlifting classes in small groups, each focused on one lift: squat, bench or deadlift. Those classes are included in the Premium membership. The coaches work with a yearly programme in three phases: first a baseline test of strength and technique, then a build-up of strength and volume, and finally a peaking phase ending in a test day in the gym or preparation for an IPF meet. Competing is optional. Most members train for strength, health and fun, and beginners in particular are encouraged to join because the focus is on technique.
Handy if you train at odd hours: GymBokx is open 365 days a year, from 6:00 to midnight. Want to work one-to-one? That's possible too, with tailored programming and video analysis of your lifts.
