Friskis values
Friskis&Svettis is a value-driven organisation, and those values form the foundation of everything we do—every workout, every encounter, every step forward.
Most people have heard of Friskis&Svettis in some way or another. Some say it’s a place where you can truly be yourself. Others love the mix of people they meet here. Some are drawn to the strength training, while others enjoy the energising music in the classes. Many find inspiration in our passionate leaders. Whatever your motivation, you’re always welcome here.
Joyful, Accessible, and High-Quality Training for All
At the heart of Friskis lies one simple idea: joyful, accessible training of the highest quality for everyone. It starts with fun, continues with accessibility, and grows through knowledge and quality. We want you to find a workout that suits you—your body, your life, your goals.
To expand on this idea of what training can be, Friskis&Svettis is built on five core values:
Friskis&Svettis creates training that touches the whole person
There are many ways to train as there are people. Everyone has different motivations and needs, and our contribution is training that truly feels meaningful—beyond muscles, sweat, and movement. At Friskis, training is a full sensory experience, with joy at its core and the understanding that movement helps you live the life you want.
Life changes, and so should your training. Whether you're new, returning, or a seasoned regular, our functional training approach focuses on your entire well-being. Every workout is designed to help you grow as a person and offer an experience you'll look forward to every time.
Friskis&Svettis is a place for meaningful connections
In a fast-paced and sometimes disconnected world, Friskis is a space for warm experiences and genuine human connections. Here, community happens on your terms—whether you enjoy training alone, thrive in group settings, or simply value the shared energy of others around you.
At Friskis, connection happens through people, training, and even your relationship with yourself. Whether you're at one of our facilities, on a grassy field, or joining online, these moments of connection are at the heart of what we do—sometimes even more so than the training itself.
Friskis&Svettis releasing the power of passion
Friskis is powered by the people, for the people. Together, we are strong, diverse, and always moving forward. We nurture passion, creativity, and new ideas—embracing everyone’s unique experiences and perspectives.
Our organization thrives on the dedication of volunteers: leaders, trainers, hosts, and everyone who contributes simply because they want to. They make Friskis what it is—a movement driven by the desire to get more people moving. We believe that passion fuels growth, both for individuals and the Friskis community as a whole.
Friskis&Svettis has a relaxed, open, and personal attitude
Our training is based on knowledge, and our approach is rooted in an open view of humanity. It’s in the balance between competence, ease, and personal connection that the unique Friskis feeling comes alive—an atmosphere that welcomes everyone.
At Friskis, you can be yourself. There’s no pressure, no judgment, and nothing pretentious. We create a space where everyone feels free to move and train on their own terms. This doesn’t mean every workout suits everyone, but there’s something for everyone—regardless of ambition, ability, identity, or background.
Friskis&Svettis a bold challenger - always seeking new ways
Friskis is always on the move—refining, sharpening, and evolving. Sometimes we surprise, sometimes we comfort with what’s familiar. We stick to what we do best, but we’re also not afraid to challenge old norms, break away from outdated ideals, and push the boundaries of what’s expected.
We believe in making our own choices, staying true to our core values. While we remain independent, we occasionally collaborate with partners who share our vision to help us achieve our mission: spreading the joy of movement to as many people as possible.
