At the start of 2014 I received my Muay Thai instructor certification in Koh Tao, Thailand. It was there and then that I was introduced to CrossFit for the first time. Like many others before me, I was hooked.

Practicing Ninjutsu for 15 years and Muay Thai for over 25 years, training and being active is something I always enjoyed, but the positive vibes and energy that being part of a CrossFit community gave me, was something that I had not experienced before. Leaving Thailand I knew things would never be the same and CrossFit became a big part of my life real fast.

Coming back to Rotterdam I realised there wasn’t a place to do CrossFit in the area yet so I decided to open up one of the first CrossFit boxes in Rotterdam. During the following months I started looking for a suitable location, joined many WOD’s at different CrossFit boxes and got my CrossFit level 1 trainer certification.

December 2014 CrossFit Coolhaven opened its doors.

The following six years CrossFit Coolhaven grew in to what it is today: An amazing group of people who are enthusiastic, positive and will have your back no matter what. A supportive community of individuals who celebrate each other’s success.

CrossFit Coolhaven welcomes people of all ages and backgrounds no matter what your current level of fitness or experience is.

Our mission is to provide a positive impact on your overall health and well-being while having fun along the way.
