What is CrossFit®?

CrossFit® is a program developed to improve fitness through constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity. CrossFit® is a core strength and conditioning program that does not specialise in a single domain, but attempts to improve and enhance physical competence the 10 different fitness domains: Cardiovascular and Respiratory Endurance, Stamina, Strength, Flexibility, Power, Speed, Coordination, Agility, Balance and Accuracy.

At North Engine CrossFit we want to revisit our roots through functional and natural movements. We design the programming to be fresh and fun whilst keeping it goal oriented.

Michi Stoll

I did different sports like football, judo, DH biking and competitive pistol shooting but when I tried CrossFit® in 2012 in Stockholm I was hooked for good.
Being a service minded Swiss guy with mentoring personality and dedication to help people it did not take me a long time to figure out that coaching was exactly my thing and got the opportunity to develop my skills in various CrossFit® boxes in Helsinki.
I get excited about every new day I can improve peoples fitness build strength raise confidents and change life quality for the better when I train individuals on how to be the best version of themselves while having fun at the same time.” You can book private classes with Michi by sending him a message to michi@rxd.fi.

  • I used to go to a regular gym for my workouts and it wasn't anywhere near the effectiveness of CrossFit at NECF. I don't want to sound a like a twerp on QVC but I really do feel a lot stronger overall after going at it for just two months. It's been challenging and rewarding in equal measure. Thank you guys!
