ENERGY FITNESS - ESTABLISHED 2012

How it all started

ENERGY Fitness was started by Bjørn-Vidar Johansson in 2012 when he took over a fitness center outside Tønsberg. The center exceeded all expectations, and much of that is due to a unique equipment park and a genuine interest in strength training. The idea of starting a chain of fitness centers was not the plan. Not at the time, anyway. With good results, ambitions rose, and ENERGY has 3 centers so far with more in the planning. 

Unique equipment supplier

ENERGY is the only center chain that has equipment from Panatta Sport and Hoist Fitness, both recognized for delivering some of the best equipment on the market.

High-end centers

ENERGY has its own interior designer who designs our centers, with a focus on design and functionality.

Competence

The founders of ENERGY actively train themselves and have 30 years of expertise in strength training.

ENERGY FITNESS - AMBITIONS

The road ahead

Focus on quality

The equipment will be mainly supplied by Panatta Sport (Italy) and Hoist Fitness (USA), both of which are recognized for innovative design and delivering some of the best equipment available on the market today.

Focus on sustainability

We think green in everything we do – from energy-efficient premises to reusing equipment. The goal is to combine a healthy lifestyle with a minimal environmental footprint.

Franchise concept

With 12 years of experience, the founders of ENERGY Fitness want to help new fitness enthusiasts realize their dream of owning their own center. A separate franchise concept is under development.

Gym concept

ENERGY plans to further develop its two main concepts:
XPRESS – compact centers of up to approximately 800 m², with a focus on effective strength and conditioning training.
LARGE – larger centers from a minimum of 1,100 m², with high ceilings and spacious training zones.

Partnership with local businesses

Collaboration with local businesses to offer exclusive discounts and benefits to our members.

Further growth

ENERGY will be entering more cities and towns in the coming years. For each establishment, ENERGY will be the most attractive training choice.
