S.K.V.U. Mammoet is Utrecht's student strength sports association, set up for and by students. The association is based at Sportcentrum Olympos, and classes are held in Kratistos. In summer there's outdoor training too.
You can do more than powerlifting here. In the evenings there are classes in powerlifting, weightlifting, calisthenics, strongman and bodybuilding, for newcomers and experienced lifters. The powerlifting classes and coaching are led by a Dutch champion.
Want to take the step to a meet? This is a good place for it. The association guides members to their first competition with personal training programmes and coaching, and holds internal practice meets to get you ready. Mammoet competes at the NSK powerliften, the Dutch student championships, among others.
Besides training there are drinks, barbecues and events with names like Bulkingfest, the Biceps Games, Gripfest and the S.K.V.U. Games. Note: on top of the membership fee you need an OlymPas. You can request a free trial session by email.
