Gym in IJburg? Train with a coach in every class, in Amsterdam East

Looking for a gym in IJburg where you're not wandering around on your own with a programme? Come and train at CrossFit Zeeburg, at Cruquiusweg 96F in Amsterdam East. You train in a small group, there's a coach in every class and every exercise is adjusted to your level. You can start with two weeks of unlimited training or with Your Strong Start, our 28-day guided start.

Let's be honest: we're not on IJburg itself. You'll need to hop on your bike. But starting to exercise is the easy part. Almost everyone manages that. Keeping it up is where it goes wrong. And that's a lot easier in a place where someone actually keeps an eye on you.

You don't need to know how to start. You just need to show up.

Your Strong Start: 28 days, 12 coached sessions, €99.

From IJburg and Zeeburgereiland to the box

You'll find us at Cruquiusweg 96F, 1019 AJ Amsterdam. From IJburg and Zeeburgereiland you cycle to Cruquius, in Amsterdam East. Want the quickest route from your street? Just open our location in Google Maps.

Work in the city? Then you can easily fit in a class on your way home. We've been training here since 2016 and we're an official CrossFit affiliate. Curious about what we do for the rest of the east side? Have a look at our gym in Amsterdam East.

Why training with a coach works better than training alone

You know that feeling? You walk around a gym and you don't really know what to do. Well, that won't happen here. The workout is ready, a coach explains what you're going to do and watches how you move.

You don't have to write your own programme or figure out which weight to pick. You just show up and we take care of the rest. And if you haven't been in for a while? We'll notice.

CoachingOften only at the start, or paid separatelyA coach in every class
LevelYou guess it yourselfEvery exercise is scaled
Together or aloneMostly aloneIn a small group
PriceOften cheaperHigher, because there's always a coach

A regular gym is often cheaper. That's simply true. But if you've already quit a few times, the difference isn't the price. It's whether you keep coming back.

What a class looks like

A class lasts an hour. You walk in, the workout is ready and a coach explains what you're doing. Then the coach watches how you move and helps you choose the right weight or version of each exercise.

The training of the day is called the WOD (workout of the day). There's a different one every day. That's how CrossFit works: you mix strength, bodyweight moves and conditioning, and it keeps changing. So you get stronger and fitter, without it getting boring.

Training hard doesn't mean going all out every time. If you want to keep training, you don't push to your limit every day. You decide how hard you go, and the coach helps you get it right.

Not fit enough? That's exactly what it's for

You don't need to be fit to start. You do need to be willing to train. Every workout is scaled. Not pointlessly easy, but right for you and safe.

An example. Can't do a pull-up yet? Then you use a resistance band, you practise just the slow lowering part, or you pull yourself up at an angle on the rings. That way you do the same workout as the rest of the group, at your level. Beginners and experienced people simply train side by side.

Are you 60 or older and would you rather train with people your own age? Then there's CrossFit 60+, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 10:00.

Got an injury, a health complaint or taking medication? If you're unsure, check with your doctor or physio first. The coach will adapt the exercises to that. We don't take over the role of your doctor or physio.

Read enough? Come and train with us.

In 28 days you train 12 times with a coach who keeps an eye on you, at our box in Amsterdam East. You don't need to be fit to start.

Start your Strong Start

Classes that fit your day: early, lunch, evening and weekend

With work and maybe kids, training has to fit into your week. That's why there are classes from early morning to evening, and at the weekend too.

WhenTimes
EarlyMonday to Friday, first class at 07:00
LunchMonday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 12:00
EveningMonday to Friday from 17:00. Last class at 20:00 on Mon, Tue and Wed, at 19:00 on Thu and at 18:00 on Fri
WeekendSaturday from 08:00 to 13:00, Sunday from 09:00 to 13:00

Besides the WOD, we've got a few classes with their own focus:

  • Hybrid Endurance: strength and cardio in one class.
  • StrongLifts: a class that's all about getting stronger.
  • Weightlifting: Olympic lifting, with a coach right there.
  • Gymnastics: training with your own bodyweight.
  • CrossFit 60+: for anyone aged 60 or over.

You won't find kickboxing or Zumba here. We do strength and conditioning, and we do it well. You can see every time slot when you check the schedule. Changes and open spots show up in the Sportbit app.

Personal training or a small group

Looking for a personal trainer in IJburg? You can train one-on-one with us too. That works well if you have a very specific goal, if you really want to start at your own pace, or if you'd rather not train in a group.

For most people, though, the group works really well. You get attention from a coach, but you train with others. That makes it easier to keep showing up, and it's cheaper than having your own trainer every time. Not sure? Read more about personal training with us, or just send us a message.

There are two ways to get started. Pick the one that suits you:

  1. Two weeks of unlimited training for €45. You train as often as you like for fourteen days and find out for yourself if it fits. More on that at two weeks of unlimited training.
  2. Your Strong Start for €99. You get twelve guided sessions over 28 days, three a week, and we measure where you stand. That way you build a steady routine with a coach who knows you. We only let three new people start each week, so there's real time for you.

My advice: if you mainly want to try it out, go for the two weeks. If you've quit before and you want to make it stick this time, go for Your Strong Start. Rather have a quick chat first? You can call Jeroen on +31 6 21623912.
