About us
No judgements or strange looks, but training together, relaxing, having fun, and being you. Our community will help you become an even better version of yourself. Movement is a way of life for us, which is why natural body movements are a central part of all our workouts. This is how we stay healthy, happy and energized.
Our beautiful venue
Kracht is located in the Houthavens of Amsterdam. In the summer of 2018, the first poles were set — laying the foundation for what Kracht is today: a bright, open, and inspiring space to move, connect, and grow stronger.
Our large gym facility features high-quality equipment, spacious changing rooms with showers, a multi-functional yoga and movement studio, a coffee bar, free parking, a drinking water station, and a sunny outdoor sports garden. With a 12-meter-high ceiling, the space feels light, open, and full of energy.
We take great care of our space — from the cleanliness and equipment maintenance to the small details that make every visit feel welcoming and professional.
Beyond daily training, Kracht also serves as a unique venue for business events, team workouts, photo or video productions, and private gatherings. The open layout and attention to detail make it an inspiring environment for both movement and connection.
