CrossFit and HYROX in Caribbean Netherlands: The Guide
Which city to train in
Kralendijk is the only city with gyms in the Caribbean Netherlands. It has 2 official CrossFit affiliates, so your choice is between two gyms, not between cities. Both welcome traveling athletes visiting Bonaire.
- Kralendijk: 2 affiliates, drop-in median 20 USD.
Pick the gym by the kind of session you want.
- Best for oceanfront workouts: CrossFit Flamingo. It offers programmed CrossFit and HYROX sessions right on the water in Hato for 20 USD.
- Best for outdoor strength and strongman: CrossFit Palms. It has a dedicated outdoor training area with strongman sessions, weightlifting and hybrid classes.
If you want HYROX-style work, start with CrossFit Flamingo. If you want to lift heavy and train with strongman equipment, go to CrossFit Palms. A longer stay lets you train at both, since each one gives you a different style of session.
Drop-in prices across the country
The national drop-in median is 20 USD. The range runs from 20 USD to 20 USD, so there is one price to plan around.
- CrossFit Flamingo: 20 USD per drop-in session.
- Prices are in US dollars, so you do not need to change currency to pay for a session.
Pay per visit and split your days between the two gyms if you want variety. You do not need to commit to one gym for your whole trip.
Climate and when to train
Training here happens outdoors. CrossFit Flamingo runs its sessions right on the water in Hato. CrossFit Palms has a dedicated outdoor training area for strongman work, weightlifting and hybrid classes.
- Plan on training outside for at least part of your visit.
- Pack kit for outdoor sessions and bring your own water.
- Ask each gym which session suits the time of day you want to train.
One gym also offers open gym time, which gives you a way to fit in extra work outside the class schedule. Ask when you contact the gyms.
Booking and etiquette
Both gyms welcome traveling athletes, so you can arrive as a visitor and train as one.
- Contact the gym before you arrive and say which session you want.
- Tell the coach you are visiting and what you have trained recently.
- Say up front if you want a HYROX session, since CrossFit Flamingo programs them.
- Say up front if you want strongman or weightlifting work, since CrossFit Palms programs both.
- Bring cash or a card for the 20 USD drop-in at CrossFit Flamingo.
With only two gyms in the country, message early. That gives you time to choose your sessions before you land.
