What we care about
High-end gyms
ENERGY has its own interior architect who designs the gyms, with a focus on design and functionality.
Expertise
The founders train actively themselves, and have 30 years of experience in strength training.

How it
How it
all began
ENERGY Fitness was started by Bjørn-Vidar Johansson in 2012, when he took over a gym just outside Tønsberg. It did far better than anyone expected, and much of that came down to a unique range of equipment and a genuine interest in strength training.
Starting a chain of gyms was not the plan. Not back then, at least. Good results raised the ambitions, and ENERGY now has four gyms with more in the pipeline.
The people behind it
Two founders with different backgrounds, both still involved in running the business day to day.
Bjørn-Vidar Johansson
Founder and managing director
Trained as an IT engineer, and alongside work and family he has had a great passion for training. He is responsible for the overall day to day running and for automating systems, puts the equipment line-up together and assesses new kit. As managing director he is also responsible for finances, strategy and the further development of the ENERGY concept.
Rune Lyngby
Co-founder and head of design
Trained as an interior architect in Denmark, with broad expertise across a long list of design programmes. Rune has worked for Kiwi, Telenor and Norsk Tipping among others, where he designed the terminal Rikstoto still uses. He shapes and designs the ENERGY Fitness gyms, and takes an active part in both the day to day running and the further development of the concept.
Ambitions
The road ahead
This is how ENERGY itself describes its plans going forward.
Focus on quality
The equipment is supplied mainly by Panatta Sport in Italy and Hoist Fitness in the United States, both recognised for innovative design and for delivering some of the best equipment on the market today.
Focus on sustainability
We think green in everything we do, from energy efficient premises to reusing equipment. The aim is to combine a healthy lifestyle with a minimal environmental footprint.
Franchise concept
With experience since 2012, the founders of ENERGY Fitness want to help new fitness enthusiasts make the dream of running their own gym real. The gym in Stord already runs as a franchise, and the concept is being developed further for more locations. About franchise
Three gym concepts
ENERGY runs three concepts, as described for landlords: an express gym of up to 800 m² for self-directed training, a full-scale gym of up to about 1,350 m² with room for group classes, and training as a service for hotels and office buildings. Requirements for the premises
Local partnerships
We work with local businesses to offer members exclusive discounts and benefits. About corporate membership
Further growth
ENERGY will be moving into more towns and villages over the coming years. In every location, ENERGY aims to be the most attractive training option in the area.
