Hey Fam, Sometimes the best conversations happen just before or after a class. However, a few weeks ago, it was an in-class conversation with a member that stuck with me. They told me that when we trained at the park, it felt approachable. A bit "jumppa style." 😄 Kettlebells and no pressure. Then we moved into the Kontti. And at first? It felt intimidating. New equipment. A proper gym setup. The feeling of "am I good enough for this?" Sound familiar? Here's what happened nex

Hey Fam, Having a big goal is exciting. Signing up for something, writing it down, telling people about it. That part feels great. Then life happens. And the goal feels far away. And suddenly, motivation dips and the whole thing quietly disappears. Sound familiar? Here's the reframe — the goal is the direction, not the destination. What actually gets you there is the process. The small, boring, repeatable steps you take daily, weekly, and monthly. A real example. Coach Jaakk

Hey Fam, We got this in our feedback form recently. "Kruunisactive is one of the best things to happen to me, ever." We read it twice. Then a third time. Honestly — we don't have much to add to that. It's why we show up every day. It's why we built this place. And it's everything we hoped Kruunisactive could be for this community. So thank you. You know who you are. 🧡 And if you're still on the fence about joining — maybe that's your sign. See you at the Kontti, Kruunisactiv

Hey Fam, The weekly newsletter series is back once again. “Cool stuff our members have said.” These quotes are coming from our feedback/survey we sent out to members before the start of the summer timetable. With the sun coming out this week, we thought it would be crazy not to talk about the following member’s comment. Members Comment: "The atmosphere, the coaches, and the location are the best." We'll take that. 😄 Let's break it down. The atmosphere. This one means the mo

Four words. That's it. And honestly, it says everything. Hey Fam, The weekly newsletter series is back in your inbox. “Cool stuff our members have said.” The original plan for these was to do them weekly until our summer timetable started. Well. The summer timetable has now started! Check it out here . 👀 But we are having fun with these. So we will keep going through April. 💪 Member's Comment: “Staying consistent, making friends.” Four words. That's it. And honestly, it sa

The rumours are true. Hey Fam, If you didn’t see last week’s email, then let me introduce you quickly to a new weekly series on the run-up to summer. “Cool stuff our members have said.” Today is part 2. Member's comment: “Weightlifting classes & the fact that the class will be held despite only 1 participant.” Hears the breakdown: Let’s start with the class participation. Yes, we still run classes in the summer if there’s only one participant. The rumors are true. 😱 Why do

Our members tell us some pretty awesome stuff. We wanted to start sharing it. Hey Fam, Summer is coming. We are excited for it, and so are our members. In our preparation for summer, we asked our members for some feedback. The members had some cool stuff to say, and we wanted to share some of these thoughts in a weekly newsletter series on the run-up to summer. So welcome to the new series… (drum roll) 🥁 Cool stuff our members have said! - Part 1. Member's comment: “I reall

The health & fitness industry is constantly surrounded by "Fads". From diets, fashion, and even training styles. Now, supplements can kinda creep into this. I'm talking about BCAA's, creatine, omega-3, protein powders & bars etc.. You see them on social media, and people are offering their 10% discount code. You buy them and then you don't buy them again... The good thing about supplements is that most have been around for a while. So they are well-researched. They can be ext

Did you know we offer quarterly goal-setting sessions for all of our members? It's a time to sit down with a coach and discuss things in detail. We want to understand what you really want to get out of the kruunisactive trainings. And most importantly, how we can help you achieve that. With these sessions going on over the next 2 weeks for our members, I thought I would touch on the subject of goals. Plus, give our non-members the time to set their goals. 💪 Sometimes it is

It’s been quiet here on the blog page for a while. Apologies for that. But it is for good reason! If you haven’t heard or seen, we have been building Kruunisactive 2.0. A.K.A Kruunisactive kontti gym! Here is how it started… And here is the result. From shoveling, compacting, sourcing equipment, building, and drilling. We have done this all with our own hands. One person did some welding for us… We were not even going to try that ourselves. 😂 Some serious blood, sweat, tea

Boom! The final part of the puzzle. Daily practices to kick ass until you are 90. Eating. 🤤 Part 1 is about moving. Read here . Part 2 is about thinking. Read here . Part 3 is about eating. Pull up a chair. You are here. Now, before we start... in previous parts, I have said "daily" rather loosely. However, eating is slightly different. I want you to aim to do this daily. Achieving this, you are going to feel a million times better. I promise. Feeling like this until you ar

Alrighty! Welcome to part 2 of this little daily practice series! This week is about "Thinking" or "Mental" practices. Part 1 is about moving. Read here . Part 2 is about thinking. You are here now my friend! Part 3 is about eating. Coming soon. A quick reminder… Before we start. I say daily here rather loosely. Shit happens and you have to adapted daily. So you don’t need to do each of these EVERY SINGLE DAY for the rest of your life. Just do them as much as possible and ma

Before we start… I say daily here rather loosely. Shit happens and you have to adapted daily. So you don’t need to do each of these EVERY SINGLE DAY for the rest of your life. Just do them as much as possible and make the conscious choice about doing them. Do that, and you will be a 90-year-old badass. 😎 Here is what we will be covering in the next few weeks. Part 1 is about moving. 🏃‍♂️ Part 2 is about thinking. 🧠 Part 3 is about eating. 🍽️ In the movement category. Ther

Training in a group has a different feeling to training alone. Both have their purpose, and people like different things. But today, I will highlight why we focus on group training at Kruunisactive and how powerful it can be. Have you heard about the saying "surround yourself with good people"? Who you surround yourself with matters. It really matters. You probably have those people who have been with you since you were a kid, which is amazing. But sorry to say that as we get

I touched on this topic a few posts ago. When I was talking about the difference between having the mindsets of a victim, pessimist, optimist, or realist. It also relates to last week's post. So I thought it deserved a bit more explanation. 😎 Growth doesn’t happen in our always in our comfort zones. Whether in training or life, challenges can be driving forces that help us become stronger, fitter, faster, and better versions of ourselves. Which Is our goal. Think about this

A few weeks ago I was talking about recovery. In that post , I said, "T o become stronger, fitter, faster, and better versions of ourselves we need to put our body through some stress to start the adaptation process. " ( Read here ) Soooo, are you putting your body through enough stress when training? 🤔 When training it is easy to do one of two things. Go "too hard" or "too easy". Too hard: We manage to get through the whole training but we have done too much and won't have

Alright! Last week we discussed why recovery was important and how we can easily get carried away with our training and forget about recovery. This week I will give you several practical ways we can help our recovery. There will be 3 tips you can take away from this and something you can download or copy to help you keep on track. 🙏 So now the tips. Regular exercise/training. This is the staple. We need to move our bodies and move in several ways. Strength training, cardiova

The common Whoopsie when it comes to recovery and training is simple. Not understanding why recovery is needed. 😎 We are the gym monkeys that are addicted to this exercise thing. We started this journey to become stronger, fitter, faster, and better versions of ourselves. For us to achieve this, we need to recover. We get too used to the feel-good of the exercise and forget the bigger reason we are doing this. So we just keep training, and training no matter what until we b

If you were training last week Friday, I asked you all which of the 4 mindset categories I listed above describes you best. We concluded, that it totally depends. Thinking of mindset in these 4 categories means we will flow between them all in different circumstances. That's just fine. 💪 So let me explain each category briefly. Victim mindset - You think like this. The reason you are not living the life you want to live is because of x,y & x. Simply deflecting ownership and

I'm going to cut straight to the point here. You can train with Kruunisactive no matter what level you think you currently are. 💪 Our classes are always adaptable for all levels. We have our class focus and then coach the individuals in front of us. SIMPLE. "But it looks like everyone is so fit and strong on your Instagram?!" Well, our members are strong and fit. But they started somewhere just like everyone does. The best part of small group classes is you are never on th
