MAD Training Lab, formerly MAD CrossFit, is a box in Amstelveen for athletes from Amstelveen, Aalsmeer and Uithoorn. MAD stands for Make A Difference. The gym is spacious and fully fitted out with new kit, and it's there for beginners and experienced athletes.
The offer is broad: WODs, gymnastics, olympic weightlifting, personal coaching, kids WODs and corporate fitness. For powerlifters there are regular powerlifting classes. They revolve around the squat, bench press and deadlift, with the overhead press as an extra lift. The goal is clear: move as much weight as possible with good technique. The classes suit beginners and experienced lifters.
Want to work on your own stuff? During open gym hours you work on specific skills or strength, with a coach nearby giving tips and progressions. Class and open gym times are on the timetable.
On the site, Stan and Dylan introduce themselves as coaches. You can start with a free trial class, which you book through Sportbit.
