Why Myworkout exists
Knut Løkke shares the personal story behind Myworkout, his own health journey, and why research-based exercise became the foundation of the company.
A glimpse of our story
Champions League
In the early 1990s, Jan Hoff and Jan Helgerud made groundbreaking advancements in sports science, helping transform Rosenborg into a dominant force in Norwegian football and later working with Celtic, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Perfected on athletes
In 2003, Jan and Jan's intense 4x4 interval training helped Marit Bjørgen and her teammates raise their maximum oxygen uptake, turning Bjørgen into an Olympic-winning endurance athlete.
Stroke and CAD patients
Their research showed that high-intensity interval training improves cardiovascular and functional health in people with chronic conditions such as coronary artery disease and stroke.
More Life
In California, they trained Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari and Steve Jobs' mentor, to show that age does not decide what training can do. Nolan's response helped shape our slogan: More Life.
Myworkout GO
Built on three decades of research, Myworkout GO has been fully developed and independently assessed by the Norwegian Directorate of Health, receiving top marks for privacy, security, and compliance quality.
MS & PD
Jan and Jan's maximal strength training research shows meaningful improvements in neural drive and functional performance, including for people with multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease.
