Crossfit Leiden

Almost 12 weeks later… it’s time to see how far you’ve come. 💪

We’ve spent the last 12 weeks building strength, capacity and confidence through movements like:

Front Squats. Strict Press. Running. Pull-Ups. Turkish Get-Ups. Farmer Deadlifts. Sandbag Bench Press. Back Squats.

Now it’s time to retest. 🔁

And this time, don’t just look at the numbers.

Ask yourself:
→ What used to feel hard that now feels easy?
→ What can you sustain for longer?
→ Are you finishing workouts with more energy?
→ Do you feel stronger, physically and mentally?
→ What can you do now that you couldn’t 12 weeks ago?

Because progress isn’t always about lifting more or going faster.

Sometimes it’s moving with more confidence.
Recovering faster.
Feeling stronger.
Or simply realizing: “Wow, I couldn’t do this before.”

So look forward to the retest, give it your best, and take a moment to appreciate how far you’ve come.

New cycle ahead. But first… let’s see what changed. 👀🔥

🍺🏃 BEER MILE 🏃🍺

Friday 21 August. Four rounds of 400m, and before every lap you knock back a beer. Yes, really. 😄

Coach Jeroen keeps score at CFL while the rest of us find out exactly how fast we can run on a full stomach. Fair warning: the last lap is not pretty.

Bring your favorite beer, bring your competitive streak, and stick around after for the stories.

Martijn viert zijn 300e bezoek bij CrossFit Leiden 🎉🎉🎉

Sinds hij begon is er veel veranderd. Hij voelt zich fitter, sterker en zijn conditie is enorm vooruit gegaan.

Twijfels om te starten had hij niet. Niets hield hem tegen. Zijn tip voor iedereen die nog twijfelt. "Gewoon gaan, het is super leuk en er zijn van alle soorten mensen die je ook aanmoedigen om even dat extra stapje te zetten."

Shoutout naar alle coaches en de hele CFL community die elke training weer voor die extra push zorgt.

Op naar nog meer plezier en persoonlijke records. Kom samen met ons vieren en geef Martijn een high five in de box! 💪

Happy birthday, Coach Jeff! 🎉🎉

Some coaches teach you to lift. You taught us to believe. Every high five, every "one more rep", every laugh on the floor, that is you. You make this place feel like home.

Thank you for the patience on the hard days, the celebration on the good ones, and for never letting a single one of us give up on ourselves. You have quietly changed so many lives, and you probably do not even realise it.

Today we show up for you. We wish you a year full of PRs and belly laughs, adventures that leave you breathless, and all the love you so freely give us, coming right back to you. ❤️

Happy birthday, Jeff! Thank you for everything.
From your whole CrossFit Leiden family 🎂🎊

200 bezoeken voor Vere 🎉

Wat een mijlpaal. Vere voelt zich nu sterker in lijf en hoofd. Sporten werd een vaste uitlaatklep en gaf grip op emoties.

Zoals Vere zelf zegt: "Voordat ik begon met sporten waren mijn emoties niet echt controleerbaar, maar door te sporten begreep ik mezelf steeds beter en werd het echt een uitlaatklep. Als ik me rot voel weet ik meestal hey ik heb niet gesport." Favoriete moment: "Dat ik bij de volwassenen mocht sporten."

Shoutout naar het CFL coaching team en de volwassenenlessen die Vere vanaf dag één hebben aangemoedigd en uitgedaagd.

Dit is wat mogelijk is als je blijft komen. Trots op je Vere. Op naar de volgende 200. Kom mee vieren in de box. 🎊

Bauke hit 300 visits 🎉🎉🎉

From first class to number 300, he turned training into a lifestyle. He met a lot of people he clicks with and he is in the best shape he has ever been, with plenty still to improve.

In his words: “I met a lot of people that I get along with, so socially it has been a great addition to my life to start at CFL. Physically I also got in the best shape I have ever been and it is great that there remains plenty to improve on.” He almost did not start. “The price mostly, and on a more general note I wondered if my body was ‘build’ for CrossFit.” Three hundred visits later, we love the answer.

Shout out to our coaching crew and the whole CFL community for the push, the patience, and the high fives.

Doubting if CrossFit is for you? Bauke shows what is possible. Here is to the next level. Drop him some love and come celebrate with us at CFL!

Hediyeh just hit 200 visits at CrossFit Leiden. From day one to now, the gains are real. Stronger, fitter, and full of energy.

"The biggest change has been my strength and endurance. I am much more conscious about my nutrition now, and if I do not make it to training four times a week, I actually start to miss it. I really love the community spirit. I have met some great people, and the coaches are fantastic."

Highlights so far include our Hyrox simulation and her first Open. The adventure continues with Peak Performance Week in Lanzarote this November, and we cannot wait.

Huge shoutout to the CFL coaching crew and everyone in class who pushes and laughs with her every session.

To anyone curious about what is possible here, this is your sign. Give Hediyeh a high five in class and let us celebrate this milestone together. 💪

7 days to go till Hyrox Simulation Edition 10.

Registration closes Tuesday 23:59. After that it's waiting for ED. 11.

⏱ Countdown is running at hyrox.crossfitleiden.com
