Dutch Powerlifters

Krachtlab

Krachtlab in Elsloo is not a gym where you anonymously grind through your sets. It's a coaching gym with the motto: lift your life. Physical strength, mental resilience and a lifestyle you can stick to, that's what it's about. Discipline, ownership and development are the core values.

You train under the guidance of a team of coaches, with Virgil van den Berg as owner. For powerlifters, Maartje Claessen is the point of contact: she is Head of powerlifting. On the site, members explain how it works: a tailored programme that's adjusted every few weeks, and a coaching session and a technique session every two weeks. If you want, you also get guidance on nutrition and lifestyle. Several members compete in powerlifting meets through Krachtlab.

There's an open gym and personal training. Trial classes and day passes aren't available: Krachtlab is members only. You can, however, request a no-obligation introduction.

Looking for a place where someone tackles your programming, technique and head at the same time? Then you're in the right place. If you just want a rack to squat in, this isn't it.
