RÅSKINN: Physical and mental training
Are you someone who enjoys the feeling of being truly exhausted after a tough workout?
Then you’re one of us!
Join us in “The Sunny State” Florida
USA – Miami – New York
Our study trip goes to the Sunshine State Florida and New York
Experience MIAMI, the city where many cultures meet. At Miami Beach, you can train with locals at Muscle Beach and play beach volleyball with people from all over the world. Join an Alligator Safari in the Everglades. Cuban pizza in Little Havana. A trip to Key West with a Caribbean vibe, and a boat trip with snorkeling on coral reefs. Work out at amazing gyms. A dedicated day where students plan the program in groups – perhaps you dare to try skydiving? We stay in Airbnbs with Miami standards.
NB: Remember that at this school, you choose 2 LINES! You get more variety in your daily life and can tailor your year. See the possibilities.
Physical and mental training
Through physical and mental training, proper planning, and knowledge of nutrition, you’ll get the tools you need to become a BEAST, both physically and mentally.
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
Far too many people train without goals or purpose and see little progress. With us, you’ll get help planning your training and creating a personalized plan so you can see results!
We emphasize scientific knowledge about training and diet, and steer clear of diets and miracle cures that promise “quick results”. Instead, you’ll develop good habits for training correctly and eating healthily, which is the only thing that yields lasting results.
What is your goal?
- Become physically stronger? (Build muscle or perhaps learn a “muscle up”?)
- Become more enduring? (Be able to maintain a longer distance?)
- Learn to handle adversity? (Become a “winner”. Learn to manage negative thoughts.)
- Gain better body control? (Flexibility and body mastery)
- Train without getting injured? (Correct lifting technique and mobility)

Physical training
Here you can engage in several different forms of training:
- Classic strength training with weights and machines
- Crossfit combines strength and endurance
- Functional training with your own body weight is injury-preventative and improves body control.
- We’ll test the new fitness hype Hyrox, Military obstacle course and Ninja warriors – and see if this is for you?
- Buddy/partner training is fun and effective.
- Various forms of endurance training
Exercise brings happiness
Establish good training habits for life
Mental training
What do you do when motivation wanes and negative thoughts creep in? Or you get injured and set back several steps?
To succeed, you must learn to handle adversity. You can become a mental powerhouse too! You will train your mental strength, and learn techniques to cope with stress, setbacks, and negative thoughts.
You can do more than you think

What former students say
I’ve had an absolutely fantastic year! I’ve learned an incredible amount, both about myself and others, and made friends for life. Truly a year I will never forget. I’ve done so much that I never thought I’d get to try. I truly feel that I’ve managed to step outside my comfort zone, which was a personal goal for the year.
Karen Bacher, Bergen

I’ve learned an incredible amount about training, and about myself. Couldn’t have gotten a better outcome from this year.
Brian Nerlandsrem, Fræna

I’ve developed in many areas that haven’t been focused on before. I’ve built myself into a more complete person. Exceptionally good environment in the class. I’m going to miss daily life.
Aleksander Thune, Dirdal
