Dutch Powerlifters

CrossFit YouAct

CrossFit YouAct is a small-scale box in Eindhoven, just outside the centre by the canal, between the Voedselbank (food bank) and a car wash. Friendly but demanding, that's how they describe themselves. Besides the daily WOD there's a varied timetable with olympic weightlifting, gymnastics, HYROX and Freedom Hour, their name for open gym.

For powerlifters, the Powerlifting & Strongman class is the most interesting. The powerlifting part revolves around back squat, bench press and deadlift, with attention to technique and control. You work with bars, bands, chains, dumbbells and kettlebells. The strongman part is rougher: sandbags, stones, sleds and farmers carries. Weights and objects are scalable, so the class works for beginners and experienced lifters alike.

In the area or passing through? With a drop-in you can join the WOD or the specialty sessions. Booking is through SportBit. Having a look around first is fine too: during opening hours you can just walk in. If you'd like a chat with a trainer first, you can schedule a free intake.
