Right in Zeeburg: Cruquiusweg 96F
Our address is Cruquiusweg 96F, 1019 AJ Amsterdam. We're in the Cruquius area, between the Entrepothaven and the Nieuwe Vaart. This used to be mostly industry. These days more and more people live and work here, and the industrial feel is still there.
We're an official CrossFit affiliate. In CrossFit, a gym like ours is called a box. We did our very first workout on 18 June 2016, so this year CrossFit Zeeburg turns ten. I'm pretty proud of that.
So what's the difference with a regular gym? There you usually train on your own, with a plan or an app. Here the workout is ready and there's a coach in every class. You train together with other people. And if you don't turn up for a while, you'll be missed.
From Zeeburgereiland, Cruquius and the Eastern Islands
A gym needs to be close. Otherwise the sofa wins after work and next week turns into next month. That's not your fault, but a long trip does make it harder. That's why it helps when you can just hop on your bike and be there.
- Zeeburgereiland: the Cruquius area sits on the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal, right opposite the island. So it's a short ride over to us.
- Cruquius: then you live in the same neighbourhood. Looking for sport in Cruquius? It doesn't get any easier.
- Java-eiland, KNSM-eiland and the rest of the Oostelijk Havengebied: you stay in the east and don't have to go through the city.
- Indische Buurt and Dapperbuurt: from there you're with us in no time too.
My advice: plan your route once, then pick fixed days. That way you don't have to think about it anymore.
What you do in a class
A class with us lasts an hour. You don't have to write your own programme or figure out which weight to pick. The workout is ready, and a coach explains it and watches how you move.
So what does that hour look like? A CrossFit class usually has a warm-up, a part for technique or strength, and the WOD (Workout of the Day). The whole group often does the same workout, each in their own version.
Every workout here gets scaled. Not pointlessly easy, but right for you and safe. Scaling just means you do a version that fits you. Can't do a pull-up yet (pulling yourself up to a bar)? Then you do a variation that gets you there. Weight too heavy? Then you take less.
Never trained with a barbell? No problem. You start at your level. Want to know more first? Have a read of CrossFit for beginners.
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.

Who trains here
You don't need to be fit to start. You do need to be willing to train. That's really the only requirement.
- You've started exercising before, but sticking with it on your own didn't work out.
- You want to get stronger and don't really know how to go about it.
- You want someone who looks at your technique.
- You're sixty or older? There's a class just for you: CrossFit 60+.
- You simply want to stay fit for life outside the gym.
Got an injury, any complaints, or are you pregnant? If in doubt, check with your doctor or physio first. Then tell your coach, and we'll adjust the exercises. We don't take over the role of your doctor or physio.
Practical: getting here and your first class
Coming by bike, tram or car? Plan your route via Google Maps. Then you know exactly where to go.
Bring clothes you can move in easily, trainers and a bottle of water. My advice: come a few minutes early. That way you start relaxed and don't have to rush.
Want to try it first? Then go for two weeks of unlimited training for €45. Want to build a routine straight away with proper guidance? Then the 28-day Strong Start is your best way in. Still not sure? Just call or text me on +31 6 21623912, or send us a message.
Finally a training routine that sticks, right around the corner
With Your Strong Start you train with a coach from day one, at your level, right here on the Cruquiusweg. You build a rhythm that fits your week, and we measure what it does for you. So you'll quickly know whether this is your local gym.
- 12 coached CrossFit sessions in 4 weeks, around 3 a week
- A personal starting assessment plus scalable Fit Test as your baseline
- A midway check, so one busy week doesn't break your rhythm

Yes. A single class costs €21. If you train a bit more often, a 10-class card for €180 is an option. It's valid for 3 months.
Can I train with an old injury?
Often you can, but if in doubt, check with your doctor or physio first. Then tell your coach, who'll adjust the exercises to what you can do.

On weekdays the first class starts at 07:00. Monday to Wednesday the last class starts at 20:00 and runs until 21:00. At the weekend you train in the morning and around midday. Check the schedule for the latest times.
