In Odin we offer the opportunity to train with a coach to work on your technique so that you can ask questions on programming, competition and diet for example. During our members’ nights you can ask them to take a look at your technique and you can ask them advice. In addition, we offer more specific training for competitive members. When you join a competition team, you get one extra training session per month with one of our coaches to further prepare you for competition and you will be getting coaching on the day of a competition itself. Your Odin membership includes all of this!
