Fenrir is the student strength sports association of the University of Twente, founded in 2021 by a group of dedicated students. The name comes from the mighty wolf of Norse mythology, and the motto says it all: powered by iron and caffeine.
The association focuses on powerlifting, strongman and weightlifting. Members train regularly in small groups at the UT gym, and there are also group training sessions and workshops. The competition side is in good shape too: Fenrir takes part in national competitions, and in its first year the then chair won the Dutch student powerlifting championship. Fenrir lifters have competed at the SBD Cup, among others, and came back with new personal records.
Membership is meant for UT students who want to push their limits and support each other along the way. Beginners and experienced lifters are both welcome. You can sign up via the button on the site.
