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 management of our trainer team. I primarily function as a trainer at SFG, where I spend my time creating training programs, season plans, communicating with our gymnasts in programs, providing nutritional guidance, and teaching tumbling techniques online. I have now helped more than 340 gymnasts with strength training, nutritional guidance, and tumbling technique guidance through our various 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 worked with Tumbling since the beginning of 2001. I have been involved in starting up and developing the Tumbling sport in Holstebro, where the club VGF89 went from nothing to being dominant in the sport. Later, a move to Fyn led me to switch clubs to Odense GF.
From 2004 to 2018, I was heavily involved in the development of Tumbling at a national team level in Denmark. The first 4 years as the junior national team coach from 2004-2008. From 2008-2013, I had the main responsibility for both the junior team and the senior national team, while from 2014-2018, I only had responsibility for the senior national team.
I have conducted courses in Denmark, England, Norway, and Sweden in tumbling and have extensive experience and interest in training at the highest level. I always focus on development and innovation and love to geek out on details.
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.
