Together, we are committed to one thing: helping you become the strongest, most confident version of yourself.
Marco
Director / Founder
Marco van Tintelen founded CRUSH Studios after more than 25 years immersed in fitness training, pilates and movement. With a background in professional dance, he pairs technical precision with a deep understanding of how the body moves, recovers and grows stronger.
Before bringing CRUSH to life, Marco helped shape Amsterdam's pilates scene as a founding master trainer at PLTS. A few years ago he brought that experience to Haarlem, building a studio where strength, music and community come together in every class.
Bridget
Meet Bridget ✨
Certified in yoga, Pilates and Barre, Bridget brings a love for movement that’s as strong as her playlists. Originally from sunny California, she now calls Holland home—and we’re so lucky to have her!
She’s been teaching since 2016 and believes in movement that feels good and does good. After years of practicing Barre herself, she knew it was the perfect complement to her other practices. The focus on form, strength, stability, and body awareness instantly clicked—and the creative side? Even better. Think music, movement, and a serious burn in all the right places.
Her classes are strong, energizing, and fun. Expect to work hard, feel empowered, and leave with a smile (and maybe a little shake 😉).
Josephine
MEET JOSEPHINE ✨
At the Barre, and on the Reformer at CRUSH 🤸
Movement has always been part of Josephine’s DNA. She started dancing as a child and later trained professionally at the Royal Conservatoire of Dance in both classical ballet and modern dance. For years, her life revolved around the stage, so it’s no surprise she brings grace, strength, and precision to every class.
When she discovered Pilates, it gave her a whole new way to move: building strength in a powerful yet sustainable way. That balance of challenge and care is exactly what she now loves to share.
In Josephine’s classes, you can expect to work hard, push your limits, and leave feeling stronger, more confident, and deeply connected to your body. In both CRUSH rooms, she creates a safe and motivating space where movement feels both empowering and fun.
Come move with Josephine…you’ll feel the difference! 🌷💪
Lynn
Martine
MEET MARTINE at the Barre 💥
Martine discovered her love for Barre nearly 20 years ago while living in the US. 🇺🇸 It was an instant connection, 💥 fusing her life-long passion for ballet 🩰 with a focused and effective workout that increases strength, length and alignment. 💪🏻
Martine soon completed intensive barre training and has been sharing her love for Barre with NL at her LaBarre studio for over 10 years. 🇳🇱 Her enthusiasm for the practice has only grown, and she cherishes every moment teaching and weaving her complementary expertise in Pilates and yoga 🧘🏻♀️into each workout.
Martine’s deep understanding of how the body moves and her dedication to supporting clients makes her classes a joy to attend.. You’ll leave her classes stronger, energized, and feeling like the day is yours to CRUSH! ✨
Peter
MEET PETER 🔥 From the dance floor to the reformer.
And now part of the CRUSH team.
From gymnastics and judo to skiing in Austria, movement has always been second nature to Peter.
At 17, he discovered dance… and never stopped. Today, he’s a 5x Dutch Champion and European Vice Champion in Latin dance. 🕺
That same precision, control and strength is exactly what he brings into the studio.
Alongside competing, Peter has spent years teaching everything from Zumba and bootcamps to dance classes across Amsterdam (and even appearing on shows like Dancing with the Stars). And then he fell in love with reformer pilates.
With a dancer’s eye for alignment and technique, his classes focus on strong, efficient movement that challenges your body in all the right ways.
If you’re ready to move with intention and feel the difference, Peter’s class is where you want to be!
Sofie
MEET SOFIE in the reformer room 🤸♀️
Sofie has always loved to move. She studied dance at the Dance Academy in the Netherlands and you can still regularly find her on stage. That same energy is exactly what she brings into the studio. ✨🪩
Alongside performing, Sofie discovered her love for teaching back in 2013 and has been helping people move stronger and with more confidence ever since. Expect that extra push just when you think the reps are over. That little burn, the shake, the moment where you surprise yourself.
All with a smile, energy, motivation and great tunes that keep you going. Don’t worry if you wish you were as flexible as Sofie… we all do.
If you’re ready for a full-out workout and maybe a few trembling legs, Sofie’s class is where you want to be.
She’ll see you there 💙
