De KrachtStudio is a small-scale gym on the Volksparksingel in Enschede. The speciality: strength training and powerlifting. Beginners, experienced lifters, powerlifters and bodybuilders train side by side here, because the starting point is simple. Strength training is for everyone.
Founder Martijn de Olde started out as a CrossFit athlete and later switched to powerlifting. He competed twice at the Dutch Powerlifting Championships, finishing fourth and fifth in the up-to-74-kilo class. You can see that experience in the coaching.
You can train on your own in the open gym, or opt for personal training: solo, as a duo or in a small group. Online coaching is available too. For the open gym there are unlimited memberships, including a student version, plus a multi-visit card and a day pass for a single session. Handy if you're passing through or want a taste first.
The studio is open Monday to Saturday from 07:00 to 23:00. You can request a free intake through the contact page.
