What is Víkingaþrek?

Train like a Viking

Víkingaþrek was developed as a strength and conditioning class for martial artists at the Mjölnir MMA gym in Iceland. It soon became clear it works for everyone, not just fighters.

Classes use kettlebells, bodyweight exercises, strikes and kicks on pads and bags, tyres and ropes, with new tools and exercises added to keep challenging your body.

Whether your goal is losing weight, burning fat or toning up, training in a group gives you the extra push you wouldn’t get on your own. Coaches modify exercises for your level and increase the intensity as you progress.
