Elu means "life" in Estonian.

Elu started in Morocco during lockdown, with no fancy gym or setup. Just a few friends, some heavy rocks and water bottles, and their own bodyweight on bare Moroccan rooftops. Six years on there's a studio in Ericeira, Portugal, but the method never changed.

That's because the method was never about the setup. It works with or without a perfect one, because who knows when the next stretch of travel, or another Covid, will come, and your training shouldn't stop with it. There's real power in specific movements that build a body that's capable, pain-free and strong, one made to carry you through a long, healthy, happy life. That is functional training. That is Elu.

The method rests on four pillars: strength, mobility, endurance and recovery. They're not separate goals to pick from; they're components of one working unit, you. Trained together, they build a body that moves well and keeps moving well.

Whatever phase of life you're in, whatever equipment you have, there are powerful ways to move that improve all four. A way of moving that enhances your life, not consumes it.

That's what Elu is for.
