FOUNDED
NORTHERN SPIRIT BIRTH
Founded 2013 in Helsingborg, Sweden as an attempt to create a brand that reflects the life and style of the Community all over the world.
The brand name is inspired from the movie Northern Spirit by Nikolaj Ronnow, in whichthere is a Danish Crossfit-scenee. Seeing those Danish and Icelandic badasses working out in a former slaughterhouse, outside on the concrete or in the dark at a random Copenhagen parking lot – gave us the answer of what the Crossfit lifestyle is according to us.
