CrossFit YouAct Eindhoven

After skating, cycling and personal training with Frouke, she started her own CrossFitbox in 2014. I googled CrossFit and soon came to the conclusion that it wasn’t the sport for me… However, Frouke motivated me to participate, since you can scale everything and can always participate at your own level. And she was right! As the oldest member of YouAct, I hope to be active in this special group until I’m 80. Thank you Frouke for convincing me!

I joined YouAct to get more challenge and variety in my workouts, in addition to mountain biking and cycling. The aim was to get faster and stronger. CrossFit has strengthened my core and upper body, allowing me to get even more out of my other sports. No training is the same with the WOD, which stimulates my body to learn new things. The trainers coach and encourage me every WOD to get the most out of myself, without a tedious routine.

At the end of 2019, I started at CrossFit with about three training sessions a week. This soon became four, and then five times a week. I was addicted to CrossFit in no time due to the great training and awesome coaches at YouAct. With the various specialty training courses and personal attention, my Olympic lifts and gymnastics have improved by leaps and bounds. In addition to the fine training sessions, the coaches are also genuinely interested in everyone. For me, YouAct feels like my second home. I look forward to the workout every day!

After I was forced to stop playing football due to a knee injury, I started CrossFit in 2016. The personal trainers at YouAct made me fitter than I’ve ever been. I enjoy going there four times a week and I get better with every workout. For me working out is fun and not an obligation, mostly due to the atmosphere, the community and the challenges.

After moving to Eindhoven I was looking for a CrossFit box. Ever since my trial class, I’ve been a regular member at YouAct and enjoy every single second of it. The trainers have been helping me achieve my goals with very effective workouts. My physical capabilities improved significantly. Moreover, the community at YouAct makes me feel at home. I’d advise anyone considering joining a gym to at least participate in a trial class or join the introduction course and feel the experiences themselves.

As a CrossFitter I’m very fond of all aspects of Olympic weightlifting. Learning and performing these technical lifts properly requires dedication, concentration and the right environment. YouAct offers me that environment. The trainers know my ambition, my body, and where I stand in my personal development. The really cool community does it for me. I feel at home at YouAct!

After 2 years of doing workouts at YouAct, I became pregnant. YouAct put together a program for me where I could work on my personal goals, keep exercising for as long as possible, and retain as much strength as possible for pull-ups. Each training, my personal health and well-being was taken into account. This way I could keep exercising until week 38 of my pregnancy. After the delivery I noticed that my strength and condition quickly returned.
