Functional training
Are you ready to get a real energy boost? Here you will become good at both performance and enjoyment. The highlight for many is the training trip to Monte Feliz in Gran Canaria!
Eat and enjoy!
This is the line for those of you who like to exercise and want to spend the year getting stronger and challenging yourself.
Here you will get varied training, close follow-up and learn how training, diet and rest are related. Because even though we train a lot, we know that sleep, food and rest are equally important for progress.
You will also get to experience the good life at a folk high school, with fun activities, experiences that you will never forget, and, not least, the social cohesion.
We collaborate closely with the other lines at our folk high school. There will be joint climbing and surfing tours with the outdoor life line, running and balance training with the circus line, and joint activities such as ice swimming and sauna for the very tough ones. Here you will become part of a larger community, and you will get to know many new people.
On the training plan you will get:
💪 Training, training, training!
Here you will find everything from Olympic weightlifting, to bodyweight exercises, obstacle courses and cardio training.
🧘♂️ Mobility and focus
Throughout the year you get to work with both body and mind,
and how to take care of your body after training.
🍎 Diet and rest
Learn how sleep, nutrition and recovery affect your progress.
🏄♂️ Trips to hidden gems in the local area
When the weather is nice, we like to take our training sessions outside, with
hiking in the mountains or surfing in Hoddevika.
🌆 Trip to HYROX in Oslo
Test yourself in one of the toughest competitions in functional training!
🌴 Training trip to Monte Feliz
This will be a week of hard training sessions and well-deserved relaxation by the pool or beach.
What you will learn
Here you will learn technique, build capacity and test your limits.
Strength and endurance techniques : You will learn how to train with the correct technique and quality in each exercise.
Create and follow your own training plan : You will gain the knowledge to set up a plan that suits you, with realistic goals, structure and progression.
The connection between sleep, food and rest : Learn how your daily habits affect your training and your body, and how you can create a lifestyle that gives you energy and balance for the best progress over time.
Mental strength : You will learn how to stay motivated, build mental resilience and handle challenges. We work with focus, stress management and simple massage techniques that help you take care of your body and avoid injuries.
Here we train
Our training base and gym is at Hamna Training Center, which we work closely with. Here we have full access to top training facilities, with a 270 sq m WODBOX , a very bouldering room, yoga room, spinning room and free weights room to name a few!
The school also has a well-equipped gym that you can use whenever you want. We also visit other clubs in the area and train with them.
Who is the line suitable for?
The line is suitable for those who want to train in a variety of ways, push themselves and experience more than just the gym. It's suitable whether you're a beginner or have experience, but the common denominator is that you enjoy training!
What we expect from you
You will be a good training buddy, contribute to good team spirit and build a good class and school environment.
You are willing to push yourself and test your own limits.
You show up to classes and activities with a positive attitude.
No prior knowledge is necessary, but you must be motivated, have a desire to train, and be ready to try something new.

2024-2026– I have learned so much, both professionally and personally. Not only within circus, but also about myself and other people. I have become better at standing in who I am, communicating and understanding people around me. It has been just as important as all the technique we learn.
