About me

Onkar Singh

When I turned 15 years old, my brother bought me my first gym card. I used to workout with him and his friend but I hated it because it was so boring and I always thought “I could play football instead of this”. That year I did not get any gains because I actually stopped training after a few weeks. Eventually, I picked up the interest when I saw a friend of mine getting proper biceps. So I decided, at the age of 17, to start training with him and after that I got stuck.  

After a couple of years, I started college outside of Stockholm and studied 3D design and I quickly realized that this isn’t what I want to do, I longed to hit the gym every in every class and could think of anything else. After one year, I dropped off that course, came back home and fixed my PT certificate. Just a few months later I got my first job as a PT at the gym that I used to workout at, and it felt great to be doing something that I love and I knew I made the right choice!

After working as a PT for two years, I wanted to develop more knowledge about the body, physiology and human anatomy. What are muscles? How are the built and why? So, I decided to start a 2 year education at Bosön (Sports College). Honestly, I learned a lot and that has made me an even better PT! After my graduation, I got a job at one of Stockholm’s best/most famous Crossfit box and gym, Crossfit Atum. Here, you will find beginners and athlete in the elite level and this is the place I work as an personal trainer and instructor for crossfit and olympic weightlifting!

The goal with my training has changed a lot during my fitness jorney. It all started with getting big biceps and a six pack. Today, my goal is to be an all around athlete, therefore my workouts contains a lot of weightlifting, crossfit, gymnastics and of course bodybuilding (my first love)!
