Positive gym culture with Marko Looman (owner of CORE trening og veiledning), an experienced personal trainer and nutrition coach, will be presenting on the essential role of fitness and nutrition in supporting the health and confidence of today’s youth, as well as the general population.

Marko has helped countless individuals, from teens to adults to seniors, build strength and embrace sustainable, science-based approaches to fitness and nutrition.

In this presentation, he will delve into the benefits of resistance training, not only for improving physical health but also for enhancing mental wellbeing and self-confidence. Marko will also address several critical issues, including misinformation on social media, toxic gym culture, the troubling normalization of anabolic steroid use among teenagers and the unrealistic expectations and pressures faced by youth. Through this discussion, Marko aims to equip parents with tools to navigate these challenges, promoting safe, long-term fitness practices and a positive self-image.
