Olympos has a great second gym: 'Kratistos', located on the ground floor of P+R Utrecht Science Park (right next to Olympos). It is a modern, industrial space with over 325m2 designed for fitness and strength sports. 

The Kratistos gym boasts two rigs for gymnastics and barbell exercises as well as a large range of various weights, bumper plates, barbells, kettle bells and two weightlifting platforms. Moreover, there are airdynes, concept rowing machines, S-drives, Ski Ergometerand a tank to be used to work on your endurance. 

Kratistos also offers two intensive courses: Cross challenge and Hyrox. This course helps you to master new techniques responsibly and to push your limits. NB During the courses there is less space available for individual training.

SKVU Obelix

SKVU Obelix is the Utrecht strength sports club established for and by students. Each week, our members participate in various enjoyable and fun training sessions. While different people may have different sports preferences, we all share a passion for strength sports.

Lessons
In the evenings, we organize lessons in powerlifting, weightlifting, calisthenics, strongman and body building. These lessons are for beginners as well as for more advanced athletes and are of high quality. For example, our powerlifting lessons and coaching are organized by Dutch Champion (-84KG) Iris Kensenhuis. The lessons take place in Kratistos, but in the summer we also train outside.

Activities
Throughout the year we organize multiple non-obligatory activities. These events include drinks and bbqs, but also our popular Bulkingfest. In addition, we hold sportsmanlike events such as the Biceps Games, Gripfest and the Obelix Games.

Coaching
Next to all these fun activities, we also offer professional guidance and support for all of our different sports. With our association, we try to join several competitions such as the Dutch Student Championships for Powerlifting (see picture). Obelix offers you the option to guide you through your first competition by personal training programs, coaching and practice competitions inside our association.

Contribution (exclusive of the costs of the OlymPas)
€ 30 per year
