Jinga Europees kampioen gewichtheffen!

GOUD!!! Voor onze eigen Jinga op het European Masters Weightlifting Championship 2022 in het Poolse Raszyn. Haar categorie was 40+, gewicht -76kg.

'I started CrossFit seven years ago. I actually wanted to stop, because I saw almost no progress. Then I visited CrossFit Flames XL and I never left. The coaches are passionate about what they do and have given me more confidence. That motivated me to continue with CrossFit. I feel fitter and stronger than ever and now even compete in CrossFit competitions. Who would have ever thought that!'

You will definitely get better at your sport, whether you are a beginner or more experienced. CrossFit is important to me because it clears my mind.

'What I love about CrossFit Flames XL is that it is one big family. From young to old, from starting to mega-fit and with all different backgrounds and cultures! When I started I was totally out of shape, but because the coaches adapt the workouts to everyone's level, I could train just as hard as the very best. The coaches radiate energy and passion and together we celebrate all successes! Now, after two years, I am fitter, leaner and more muscular than ever. But for me the most important thing is: I have come to love sports!'

'I came, saw and started below zero at Flames XL two years ago. The group lessons were great and then I started doing personal training. Alls in a sudden started to see progression. And with the ultimate enthusiasm and the good coaching of Jinga, just like that, I was participating in all kinds of competitions. A new dimension and great fun to squeeze the best out of yourself.'

‘I knew Flames XL was my box by the greeting I got when I first walked in, enthusiastic and welcoming doesn't even cover it. The atmosphere and people make the place, and the coaches are top notch. I don't think I have ever left the box without a smile on my face. CrossFit is my happy place, it challenges me when I need challenging and soothes me when I need cheering up. It makes me feel strong, both physically and mentally.’

'Crossfit Flames XL is like a clubhouse, cozy, lots of mutual support and a delicious (healthy) bar. In addition, the coaches are very professional and you are guided very well. When I train, I let go of everything else for a while. My body has really become stronger through CrossFit, more muscle mass and less fat. And that was exactly what I wanted! You can train your muscles up to the age of 100, so I'll stay here for a while.'

‘When I started CrossFit and personal training five years ago, I was in so much painc I ouldn't walk. I have a back disability and therefore I have little mobility. The great thing about CrossFit is that you can still participate in everything, because every exercise can be adjusted. I now have a good condition, I have muscles, I am fit and I can lift a lot of weights. I am very happy with that. Oh yes, and the atmosphere in this box is fantastic. And the music is great!’

‘I had been training with coach Jinga for a few years, when it turned out that I was doing CrossFit. I never realized that! Suddenly I had to participate in all kinds of competitions, where I did very well. Then she thought I should do powerlifting and I became world champion twice. I used to do little sport and now, at 73, I am fitter than I have ever been. The box is my clubhouse.’

‘CrossFit Flames XL is very welcoming. When I started, about a year and a half ago, I couldn't do anything at all. I have become a lot stronger, have gained a lot of muscle and lost fat mass. The workouts are always challenging with a lot of variety. The coching is great!’

'CrossFit is not your ‘mandatory’ hour at the gym, but doing a different workout every time. That means you always work your body in a different way and your muscles learn to work well together. The training is also a challenge for your mind and that makes you resilient. Flames XL is small-scale and familiar, the shower room luxurious and spacious. The coaches are sweet and friendly when they can, but tough and relentless when they have to! I hope to be able to train here for a long time to come.’

‘I wasn't into sports until nine years ago. But after my second pregnancy I noticed pains and aches and I felt far from fit. I then started training with Jinga Gosschalk. Had no idea what CrossFit was, but opted for Jinga's professionalism, energy and vision on exercising. It changed my life. I train very regularly and I'm stronger and fitter than I have ever been. And since Jinga started CrossFit Flames XL, it has only gotten more fun. This is the place for everyone to exercise together: young, old, fit or not at all. Be sure to check it out and join a lesson!’

‘CrossFit is a challenging sport, but I got stuck in a certain pattern and it was becoming too easy for me. Until I ended up at CrossFit Flames XL. I am now a lot better in terms of technique and mobility. This is mainly due to the coaches who put a lot of time and effort into teaching everyone the correct technique. The atmosphere in the box is always great. Everyone trains, laughs, sweats and is having fun!’

‘I started CrossFit 2.5 years ago and it has become a real passion. The great thing about CrossFit is that the WODs are challenging for everyone's level. If you have not mastered an exercise yet, there are always options to adjust it. In addition, CrossFit Flames XL is a close-knit community. The people are very helpful and drag you through a workout if you’re having a hard time. I have more energy and feel better about myself. Since I started CrossFit my fat percentage has dropped dramatically and I have gained back muscle mass.’

'What a wonderful place tot learn to take care of yourself, to learn to work out in a fun and safe matter. As a beginner I was so impressed by how attentive the coaches and how amazing the people training with you are. They alle were great support, encouragement and motivators. It's a shame that due to the lockdown an later moving to a new town I could no longer stay with Flames XL. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is insecure to start with CrossFit. It is fun, it is possible and it will make you better, stronger and fitter! Thank you Flamers for all you support! Love you and miss you!

‘My plan was to check out different boxes in Amsterdam before I started training somewhere. But after the first trial lesson at CrossFit Flames XL, I was 100 percent sure: I stay here! The atmosphere is great and everyone is welcome. No matter how much experience you have and how old or fit you are, everyone is taken into account. CrossFit keeps me challenging and pushing myself to the limit. Every training I learn new things and I am not only physically but also mentally stronger. I discover that I have a lot more to offer than I thought. This feels good!’

'After years of playing basketball at a high level, I was looking for a new sporting challenge. I ended up at Flames XL through coach Jinga. After a week I was sold! Every class is different, it is fast, intense and you progress quickly. In addition, the coaches at Flames XL really pay attention to you. You learn something different from every coach, but everyone wants the same thing: let you move in a good way. Technology and safety always come first. But the best thing about this box is Jur's oatmeal cookies!'

‘Two years ago I started my fire training study and I was looking for a way to work on my muscle strength. I soon ended up at CrossFit Flames XL.

CrossFit makes me feel stronger in my firefighter boots!’

'I've been training with Jinga at Crossfit Flames XL for years. She is a great inspiration to me; she gives everything she has to allow everyone - at his or her own level - to get the best out of themselves. I myself have a very busy job and it is very relaxing for me to give everything in the box four times a week. To my own surprise, I even became first of the Netherlands in my category at the last CrossFit Open competition! I am very proud of it, but I would never have been able to do that without Jinga's loving support.'
