My name is Benjamin Kristensen. I am the owner and founder of SFG (established in 2017). I live in Odense, where I work daily at SFG in our office on Kongensgade.
Here I am responsible for the daily operations and leadership of a team of five employees. I primarily work as a coach at SFG, where I spend my time designing training programs and seasonal plans, communicating with gymnasts in ongoing programs, providing nutritional guidance, and delivering technical instruction in gymnastics skills. To date, I have supported more than 700 gymnasts with strength training, nutritional guidance, and technical coaching, both through in-person sessions with partner organizations and via online training programs.
The gymnastics culture has embraced strength training over the past few years, and we welcome it with open arms, ensuring that those we work with receive professional guidance so that supplemental strength training makes sense in line with gymnastics, and does not end up having the opposite effect. I am passionate about helping gymnasts reduce the risk of injury and improve their performance. This includes teamgym, tumbling, show, and rhythmic gymnasts.

I have a Master’s degree in Advanced Sports Sciences, and I work as a lecturer at the University of Sports Science in Turin @unito_suism. I am a TeamGym Coach and Athletic Trainer at @ginnastica_robilant , and I also train the Italian National Team of TeamGym. Additionally, I work as a Strength and Conditioning Coach for various sports. I am so happy and excited to join the SFG Team because I really believe in the importance of promoting Strength and Conditioning in the world of Gymnastics and TeamGym!
I have worked with TeamGym, Powertumbling and performance gymnastics as both an athlete and a coach since 2014.
My primary area of interest is Powertumbling, which I teach on a weekly basis.
In addition, working with gymnasts’ physical development is a key focus for me.
I bring hands-on experience from my own background as a gymnast and instructor, and I have also spent time in the sport of powerlifting (squat, bench press, deadlift).

Swedish gymnastic coach. I have been coaching gymnastics for 11 years. In 2019 I moved to Iceland and worked as a full time coach in Armann until summer 2022. After that I went to Gymnastikhojskolen i Ollerup for two semesters. In 2023 i moved back to Sweden and started a sports coaching bachelor at The Swedish school of sport and health science. I’m also currently hired as a teamgym coach at Täby Gymnastikförening as head coach for their elite youth, junior and senior teams. I have the highest license in teamgym coaching from the swedish federation. ”Truppgymnastik redskap D”
Outside of coaching I am still doing gymnastics myself in KFUMs senior men’s team competing at the highest level in Swedish gymnastics. I am very interested in technique and biomechanics and its effect on how to best perform gymnastics skills, both as a coach and gymnast.
I am responsible for SFG's Instagram and TikTok account "bestflipsintheworld". Here, I daily post videos of the world's best/craziest flips within TeamGym, tumbling, and exhibition gymnastics, but sometimes also other sports. We do this to inspire and show the world what our gymnastics can actually do.
My background in gymnastics extends over 10 years. I have practiced TeamGym at national and international levels through my club Trondhjems Turnforening and the Norwegian National Gymnastics Team. I have also been a participant in FaceOff x Norway 2022 and 2023.
