The Viking System

The Viking Training System has evolved from CrossFit Edinburgh to provide a down to earth training environment where everyone progresses but away from the shiny, fitness competition image of CrossFit. We still provide the same style of training we have done since 2011 as CrossFit Edinburgh but with a stronger emphasis on camaraderie and individualised progression.

 

We believe in developing all round fitness built upon a foundation of Strength, Power and Endurance.
 No area of fitness is neglected and crucially we believe in training ALL planes of movement.
 We use a variety of objects. Barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, sandbags, bodyweight etc to develop strength.  Rowers, ropes, sledgehammers, running ( with and without loads), body weight etc to develop our conditioning.
 All sessions are in a supportive, group environment and are closely coached. Everything is gradeable to suit all fitness levels. 
We base every session around building strength and power primarily with a fully developed strength programme divided into Hip hinging movements, Pushing and pulling, Squatting movements and standing presses. 
All conditioning workouts are based off the strength element.
What we don’t do –
Competitive fitness
Deadlifts in conditioning workouts!
Complex, technical moves under fatigue!

 

Build the aerobic capacity and brute strength of a Viking Warrior!

Why Viking Training System?  The Vikings.. men and women.. had tremendous strength , power and endurance. Lifting heavy objects and feats of strength were a regular part of their training, going into battle wearing chainmail and carrying weapons required great muscular endurance. and rowing across the  North Sea really needs no explanation! At Viking Functional Fitness we wish to embody the noble virtues of camaraderie that is built up under duress and build a strong work ethic. The body and mind become stronger when they fight through difficult circumstances.. making you a better person! We will bring out your inner Viking!
