Monolitten's Story

Our team (Daniel, Dorothee and myself) met in New Zealand, where Daniel and I were studying sports and coaching at AUT University. It was also in New Zealand that we found CrossFit, and we soon realised we shared the same values around health and fitness.

For us, CrossFit is the number one tool to impact people's lives positively, beyond the physical. Functional training makes people better partners, parents, friends and members of their community. It gives people a sense of belonging.

Back in Norway, Daniel and Dorothee started Øya CrossFit, which has been a great success. When we were all living in the same city, we joined forces. Our mission is real people, real training, real fun.

A big focus is keeping classes small and giving every member honest, sincere feedback and follow-ups.

I worked for Again Faster during their launch in New Zealand and loved the quality, the look and the customer service, so I recommended them to Daniel for Øya CrossFit. It's been over a year and the plates still look unused. The plates are durable, the barbells feel great, and the new rig's coating and high crossbars give us lots of pull-up and muscle-up stations.
