What is Friskis&Svettis ?

Friskis&Svettis is a non-profit organisation, which started in Sweden in 1978. Today there are over half a million members in eight European countries.

The mission of Friskis&Svettis is to offer a fun and accessible high quality workout for everybody. Friskis&Svettis means ‘healthy and sweaty’ in English.

Friskis&Svettis’ core activity is a workout for women and men, young and old. The concept is based on music and the pleasure of moving.

F&S Luxembourg

F&S Luxembourg was founded in May 2000 and is associated with the Cercle Sportif of the European Commission and cooperates with the Ville de Luxembourg.

Today there are more than 500 members of various nationalities. And we are growing!

Volunteers

Everyone working for F&S Luxembourg volunteers their time and all are committed to the quality objectives of Friskis&Svettis.

There are around 12 instructors, 20 hosts and 9 board members who work in Friskis&Svettis Luxembourg.

All Friskis&Svettis instructors have been trained and certified under the supervision of the Friskis&Svettis Training Academy in Stockholm, Sweden. Their physical and leadership performance is also evaluated each year by specially trained evaluators.

Workout for everyone

Friskis&Svettis’ work out is fun and effective and it has been developed in co-operation with experts in the fields of medicine and physiology, on the basis of scientific research.

A session of Friskis&Svettis work out integrates all the essential elements of physical exercise, i.e. warm-up, flexibility, strength, stamina, tone-down and relaxation.

Friskis&Svettis Luxembourg offers many different types of workout.

The Start session is simple and gentle and is perfect to start with if you are not used to exercise. The Basic sessions are suitable for those who want to improve their fitness, strength and flexibility.

The Medium sessions target those who are fairly fit and like somewhat tougher exercises, but with gentle movements. The tempo is higher than in the Basic session and jumps are included.

F&S Luxembourg also offers other types of classes.

The Pulse sessions focus more on the cardiovascular system than the ‘classic’ Basic and Medium sessions.

In the Barbell sessions you use a barbell and weights to work out. Core concentrates on exercises which strengthen your abdominals and back.

The Dance session is a session with a mix of moves inspired from disco, jazz, latin, swing, funk and more. Easy to follow, but lots of attitude, feeling and fun.

Yoga builds upon classic yoga and focuses on breathing, movement and relaxation. Ki-Balance is a focused and liberating session, where you train balance, body awareness, relaxation and breathing.

F&S also has a programme of outdoor sessions like Nordic Walking and Cross-Training.

Special sessions for children

In the Junior sessions children between six and twelve train body awareness and basic physical skills. The Family sessions target children between two and a half and six years and their parents. The aim of these sessions is to have fun, jump, run, move and exercise together.
