Hello! I'm Pontus!

I've been working as a group fitness instructor since 2001, Les Mills Advanced Instructor since 2011, TRX Master Trainer since 2012, and ViPR Master Trainer since 2013. My sports background includes a range of martial arts, with instructor and competition merits in Taekwondo in 1999. I have also worked as snowboard instructor, and enjoy outdoor activities such as trailrunning, surfing, kayaking, and hiking.

During my 19 years as instructor and coach, I've taught a wide range of different programs, presented at conventions, and worked in the national instructor development team for Nordic Wellness, one of the largest fitness club chains in Sweden. I have been part of the ViPR Global Educator Team, and an appreciated instructor in Concept Education's trainer team. I also work as university researcher and teacher, which gives me a solid methodological and pedagogical base. My goal is to inspire and teach effective and meaningful movement training for a healthy life for everyone.
