Olympia is the student strength sports association in Maastricht. Powerlifting, weightlifting and bodybuilding, all under one roof. The club organises workshops, competitions and social activities and aims to be an inclusive place where students of every level can grow. The goal is simple: grow the strength sports community in Maastricht and build a network of driven athletes.
Every Thursday from 19:00 to 21:00 you train together at UM Sports, the university sports centre. You learn from each other and meet new people at the same time. The group is mixed: Dutch and international students, so English is no problem.
Olympia is affiliated with the KNKF, the Dutch powerlifting federation. That means you can train recreationally or compete. On the calendar you'll find an SBD workshop and team training sessions, among other things. The association also has confidential advisers members can turn to.
Curious? You can do a no-strings try-out. Get in touch via Instagram, email or the contact form on the site. Members of every experience level and background are welcome.
