About us

Stronger for Life. Together.

Gold Pact combines professional coaching, varied training and a community where you truly feel welcome. That's how you become stronger, fitter and more confident, for whatever life asks of you.

What can you expect from us? Coaching that knows you: you're a name, not a number. Training that keeps you progressing. People who encourage and celebrate your wins. And more than just classes: events, clinics and coffee at reCOFFEEry after training.

Our story

Built with you in mind.

I'm Paul van Dorst, founder of CrossFit Gold Pact. Gold Pact is our dream, and we built it with you in mind: for anyone who wants to get fitter and is looking for a place where they feel at home.

I don't do this alone. We're a team of both part-time and full-time coaches, and everyone brings something unique: their own background, their own energy, their own specialty. Together we create an atmosphere where a complete beginner walks in just as easily as someone who's been training for ten years.

What we promise is simple: great coaching, thoughtful programming and a place you'll want to come back to. After that, the work begins, and we do it together. Feel free to drop by for a free trial class or a tour. We'll grab coffee at our Cafe the reCOFFEEry and see how we can help you further.

Mission

Our mission

Sport is more than movement: it connects people, helps you grow and keeps you vital for life. We're building a diverse, inclusive community where everyone feels welcome and safe, including those who face extra barriers to sport. Fun is central, because what you enjoy, you'll stick with. That's how we help you stay strong, healthy and independent, now and well into your nineties.

Vision

Our vision

We see a world where everyone can play sport and move, no matter what your background. Sport doesn't just make you physically stronger: it brings people together and gives you resilience for the rest of your life. That's how our community grows as a safe, inclusive place where enjoyment and commitment go hand in hand. For ourselves, for each other and for the generations to come.

Our values

What we stand for.

A better life

We believe fitness should add to your life, not take it over.

Great coaching

We believe great coaching matters more than a fancy workout.

Intensity with purpose

We believe intensity has a purpose. More isn't always better.

Consistency wins

We believe consistency beats short-term motivation.

Everyone counts

We believe everyone deserves to be taken seriously, regardless of their level.

The people around you

We believe the people you train with matter.

Belonging somewhere

We believe fitness is more fun, and more sustainable, when you belong somewhere.

Training for later

We believe in training for what you want to be able to do at 80, not just how you want to look next summer.

“Come for the training. Stay for the people.”
