Hamstra PT on the Omloop in Drachten is a training studio of over 400 m² built mainly around coaching. Personal training, small group training and nutrition coaching are the core. Owner Richard is on the floor himself as a personal trainer, together with a team of trainers.
Prefer to train on your own? Then there's the Open Gym. Open every day from 05:00 to 00:00, quiet, no waiting. Important for you: the Open Gym has IPF-approved powerlifting equipment, alongside strength machines and cardio. Hamstra is also an official HYROX gym.
If you want to work towards a powerlifting meet, the team can coach you specifically for it. The same goes for HYROX and physique competitions. There's also strength training for young people, so young lifters can start here under supervision too. Curious how it feels? You can request a trial class through the site.
