M.S.K.V. Hercules is the Student Strength Sports Association of Maastricht. Whether you’re new to the gym, training for your first competition, or just looking to get stronger, fitter, or healthier -- you’ll find like-minded students here. Besides that, we believe that strength sports are not only about improving physically, but also mentally — developing consistency, confidence, discipline, emotional endurance, and a stronger mindset.

We bring people together with a shared interest in powerlifting, weightlifting, bodybuilding, hyrox, strongman and general fitness. Some are beginners, others experienced athletes, but we all learn from each other and enjoy the process.

As a member of Hercules, you’ll have access to:

A welcoming community where you can ask questions about training, technique, programming, nutrition, and competitions
Experienced athletes to help you set and reach your goals
Weekly group training sessions at UM Sports
Strength-related events such as technique workshops, seminars, mock meets, and more
Social activities such as drinks, mockmeets, barbecue, a yearly weekend away etc.
A supportive group of members who cheer each other on at competitions
Lots of fun

Whether you're here to compete or just want to improve yourself in a motivating environment — Hercules is the place to do it
