Gym in Amsterdam East with a coach in every class
Looking for a gym in Amsterdam East where you're not wandering around alone with a programme on your phone? At CrossFit Zeeburg on the Cruquiusweg, you train in small groups with a coach in every class. You don't need to be fit to start, because every exercise is scaled to you. You begin with Two weeks of unlimited training or with Your Strong Start.
Starting to exercise is something almost everyone manages. Keeping it up is where it goes wrong. After work the sofa wins, and next week becomes next month. Sound familiar? That's not on you. Doing it on your own is just really hard.

What's different from a regular gym
At a regular gym you usually get a membership card, a quick tour and a programme. After that, you're on your own. Know that feeling? You walk around and you don't really know what to do. Well, with us you don't have to.
You walk in, the workout is ready and a coach explains what we're doing. The coach watches your technique, helps you pick the right weight and scales the exercises to your level. Not pointlessly easy, but right for you and safe. You just show up and we take care of the rest.
Skip a week and you'll be missed. That sounds small, but it really helps you keep going.
What you won't find here: a floor full of machines you can use whenever you like. We work with classes at set times. If you'd rather do your own thing completely, a regular gym might suit you better. And if you want one-to-one coaching, we offer personal training too.

Classes: CrossFit, strength, Hybrid Endurance and CrossFit 60+
Every class lasts an hour. You can do CrossFit with us, but you can also pick classes that focus on one thing.
- WOD (workout of the day): our core class, on the schedule every day.
- CrossFit 60+: a dedicated class on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:00 to 11:00.
- Hybrid Endurance: a mix of strength and endurance, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday. Our Hybrid Endurance classes prepare you really well for a HYROX event. Curious what that is? Read what HYROX is all about.
- Weightlifting: Olympic lifting, on Tuesday evening and Saturday.
- StrongLifts: a class focused on strength, on Thursday evening.
- Gymnastics: training with your own bodyweight, on Saturday morning.
All days and times are on the schedule. Changes and open spots show up live in Sportbit. Access to Yoga Zeeburg is included with every membership: CrossFit downstairs, Yoga Zeeburg upstairs.
Who it's for: beginners, regulars, over-40s and over-60s
You don't need to be fit to start. You do need to be willing to train. Never touched a barbell? No problem. You start at your level and the coach shows you step by step how it's done. With us, technique comes before weight.
Been training for a while? Then Weightlifting, Gymnastics and Hybrid Endurance help you get more out of it. Same box, same coaching, just a different focus.
Strength actually matters more as the years go by. Strong legs, a strong back and good balance make everyday life easier: carrying groceries, taking the stairs, picking up a child. Those are exactly the movements you train in every class, at your own level. Two classes a week give you a solid base for that, though the rest of your week counts too: try not to sit still too much.
For over-60s we run a dedicated class. You won't be treated as fragile, but you will be taken seriously.
Dealing with pain or an injury, pregnant, or on medication? If in doubt, check with your doctor or physiotherapist first. The coach then adapts the exercises to you. We don't take over the role of whoever's treating you.

What it costs and how to start
There are two ways in. Want to try it first? Then do Two weeks of unlimited training for €45. Want a properly guided start straight away? Then go for Your Strong Start: 28 days with 12 guided sessions, three a week, for €99. I'm not going to promise you anything. We're just going to measure it.
After that you choose a membership. Prices are per 4 weeks. The longer the term, the lower the price.
| Membership | 3 months | 6 months | 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strong foundation (2× per week) | €106 | €101 | €96 |
| Full freedom (unlimited) | €127 | €122 | €111 |
Prefer to stay flexible? A drop-in class is €21 and a ten-class card is €180, valid for three months. Everything's laid out on the pricing page.
A regular gym is often cheaper, I get that. There you mostly pay for access to machines. Here you pay for a workout that's ready for you, a coach in every class and people who notice when you're not there.

Frequently asked questions
Can I do a trial class first?
Yes, though we call it something else. You get two weeks of unlimited training for €45. That way you find out in your own week whether it suits you.
Is a small gym better than a large one?
It depends on what you're after. If you want to do your own thing with lots of machines, a larger place with open access suits you well. If you want coaching and a group you know, a smaller place with classes often works better.
How often should I train each week?
Twice a week is a great start. It fits the advice to strengthen your muscles and bones at least twice a week. Want to come in more often? Then go for the unlimited membership.
Isn't CrossFit too hard or injury-prone?
You decide how hard you go and every exercise is scaled. Technique comes before weight and you build up step by step. Dealing with pain or an injury? If in doubt, check with your doctor or physiotherapist first.
What's the difference between CrossFit and regular fitness?
With regular fitness you usually train alone, with machines and a programme. With CrossFit you train in a class with a coach, with movements like lifting, pushing, pulling and jumping, and a mix of strength and conditioning.
