ThoraxTrainer was founded in 2008 by two passionated cross-country skiers, both with former elite sports careers within triathlon and cross-country skiing. As a medical doctor and engineer, they saw a possibility to bring the Worlds toughest sport – Nordic skiing – indoor by building an indoor fitness trainer that imitated cross-country skiing.

The outcome was the ThoraxTrainer, a cross country trainer, that imitated cross country skiing better than any other home ski trainer on the market. They founders spent 10 years to innovate and further develop the ThoraxTrainer to near perfection with the feeling of cross-country skiing. Today, the ThoraxTrainer is much more than an indoor cross country ski trainer, it is a truly versatile full body trainer called the Nordic Trainer. The focus has been moved from focusing on only cross-country skiing, to focusing on making the best full body home trainer on the market. Our training focuses on cardio, building muscle strength and a strong core. And lastly, stability and balance training.

Whether we are making our way on cross country skies through snow-covered landscapes in the Norwegian mountains, hiking in the Swedish hillsides or winter swimming in Copenhagen, we fully embrace the outdoors and what it has to offer us. We find comfort in it, just as well as we do indoors when we snuggle up at night in front of the fireplace with a good movie or a favorite book and preferably a thunderstorm just outside our windows – the Nordic way of “hygge”.
