Nakama Gym in Harderwijk is first and foremost a martial arts school, with kickboxing, MMA, BJJ, judo and boxing. But walk through to the fitness area and you'll find a place where you can powerlift seriously.
For the powerlifters there's an IPF-approved combo rack from ER Equipment and a squat rack, and you load calibrated Eleiko plates. According to the site, all the powerlifting equipment is IPF-approved, so you train on the same sort of kit as at a meet. For the rest of your training there's a new line of Technogym equipment.
If you're just starting out, staff are on hand to get you going, and by arrangement you get a programme that fits your goal. Strength, cardio, HIT or powerlifting: it can all happen on the same floor. And there's always someone around if you need a hand or an explanation.
Want to take a look first? Request a free fitness trial class through the site. The timetable is online too.
