About us

Benjamin Kristensen

OWNER, COACH, WORKSHOPS

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.

Mathias Warming

Strength & Conditioning coach

Jeg har arbejdet med TeamGym, Powertumbling og opvisningsgymnastik som gymnast såvel som træner siden 2014.
Min største interesse er Powertumbling, hvilket jeg underviser i ugentligt.
Derudover ligger arbejdet med gymnasternes fysiske form mig nært.

Selv bringer jeg erfaringer fra min egen tid som gymnast og instruktør, men jeg har også været et smut forbi sporten styrkeløft (squat, bænkpres, dødløft).

 TUMBLE TECHNIQUE COACHING & SoMe

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.

 SoMe MANAGER – BESTFLIPSINTHEWORLD

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.
