Know the fitness story of Nicole Scherzinger’s Trainer Svava Sigbertsdottir as she catches up with Namita Nayyar, President Women Fitness.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You are one of the most successful Celebrity Fitness Trainer and the founder of the intense training programme The Viking Method. Walk us through your incredible fitness journey and tell us how it all began?
Ms. Svava Sigbertsdottir:
I have been training my whole life, it has always been a part of me. Then, 12 years ago, I moved to London to study musical Theatre. But when I finished the BA, I didn’t want to (nor could ) tour, I didn’t want to as I am a single mum and also, I just didn’t feel it fit me. I wanted to work more with people and do different type of training; closer to what I had being doing myself throughout my life and I was developing by myself. When I was studying, we used to dance hours ever day. Ballet, contemporary, jazz ballet, tap, but it didn’t give me that tight, lean, athletic body nor the power, strength and agility that I wanted.
So I started to develop my own method; I took the best out of my roots from Iceland and combined with my training and created the Viking Method, using me as my first client. I Completely changed inside out, I became lean, toned with long muscles full of power and strength. On the inside as well. When I set up my company I had nothing, but I had time. So I spend all my time first making the website and then getting it known. Which is the toughest part. That takes all your time and energy. At the same time as I was doing classes, pop-ups, training press and so on to get my method out there, I set my online training. I wanted people to be able to have a quality program and great tools without the heavy cost of a personal trainer or a gym. All the hard work really paid off. Now, I have people all around the world doing my method and constantly receive emails about how much better people feel, how more confident they are, how fitter they have become. And nothing brings me more joy than that.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What are the Top 5 Fitness Facts about The Viking Method, that make it different and effective?
Ms. Svava Sigbertsdottir:
1. Most fitness methods, trainers, the media and so on, are leaving out the most important part. Your mentality. Your being. They approach it from the wrong starting point. They approach it from the outside in. And it doesn’t work.
The approach needs to be from the inside out. And that is what the Viking Method does. The Viking Method is three folded. It is about your being and your mentality, your training, your nutrition.
