Better Bodies was created in New York in 1982. Better Bodies began as a bodybuilding gym in Manhattan that was the first of its kind – one that was inclusive of people from all walks of life and had a unique emphasis on empowering women in the fitness industry. Years later, Better Bodies still represents the same thing as it did on day one and aims to bring together a diverse but likeminded group of people under one umbrella.

In the Better Bodies world, you’ll regularly hear about 

 – a sister brand to Better Bodies. Both GASP and Better Bodies are run by the same team and represent the same message, just with different expressions.

From the beginning both GASP and Better Bodies have served the community through inclusiveness, open innovation, giving back, and providing a truly judgement free platform in which you’re the main character. We don’t see GASP and Better Bodies as brands – instead, we see them as a representation of our core values: No Compromises, Being Relentless, and having No Excuses.

Check out this amazing painting that Stefan Carnehammar (

While CEO Michael Johansson was in town, Stefan visited to hand over this hand made gift.

Stefan really managed to catch some of our values and the foundation of what we do and communicate his interpretation of our brands image and feeling through this piece of art.

This canvas will be hung at our Swedish offices giving us a daily reminder of what it's all about.

Since 2008 we have prioritized a social responsibility project in collaboration with the organization Hand in Hand that fights extreme poverty in the poorest parts of the world.

Hand in Hand created a new thinking among traditional organizations that is very inspiring, where they with the use of very small overhead work more efficiently helps those who are struggling for a better life. With the primary aim of eradicating child labor and instead of doing traditional donor assistance, they help by creating self-employment through business projects for women.

Since we started working with Hand in Hand, we have contributed to the creation of around 500 companies that is all managed, owned and run by entrepreneurial women in the

poorest parts of the world. According to Hand in Hand each company supports more than 5 people from poverty which would mean that we have been helping more than 2 500 people to support themselves to a better life.

Hand in Hand is active in Afghanistan, Cambodia, India, Kenya, Namibia, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe, with fundraising and program support in Sweden and the United Kingdom.

Hand in Hand support the creation of more than 1,000 jobs a day, everyday. Globally, they have supported 2.67 million people to join and run Self-Help Groups, facilitated the start-up of 2.63 million enterprises, and been instrumental in the creation of more than four million jobs.

We are proud to contribute to the empowerment of female entrepreneurs around the world and look forward to go visit some of the business we have helped established within a not too far future.

Hand In Hand - Empowering Women 

Motala Fitness Center is owned by Viktor and Linn, both are also competing athletes in Classic Bodybuilding and Wellness. This gym reminds us of our home - Destination Dallas. This gym is modern with an old school vibe and the feeling of coming home is strong when we enter. And of course our logos being up on the walls (Better Bodies, GASP and Destination) reinforces that feeling.

Here everyone is welcome no matter who they are, what level they are on in their

training or what goals they have. Athletes train next to ”Agda 85 years” and ”16 year old Sebastian”. There atmosphere is good in the gym and the support among the members

is strong and everyone are pushing each other to get better.

Motala Fitness Center has been open since 2014 with now 400 active and frequently training

Viktor and Linn’s vision is to create a gym and place where everyone is welcome. And where the members can find everything under the same roof; training (both gym and classes), food, a place to hang out including a kitchen as well as gaming, supplements, clothing etc. They arrange happenings and meet-ups for the members and athletes. Here you can get help with your training, diet, coaching, competition prep, different physical treatments etc. The gym also have its own competition team. Simply, it should be easy and available to access for

everyone and to get the help you need! The couple is also running their own supplement line ”Fantastic Line”.

Viktor talks about how he wants to encourage young boys (that for example have bad

family conditions or just don’t have a place to go) to use the gym as a free zone; train, eat, hang with their friends, play video games etc. This is so much better instead of hanging around with wrong people making bad decisions. He knows because he was one of them. Viktor have had a tough childhood growing up. He moved around a lot to different homes. He didn't really want to be at home and never felt like he even had a safe place to call home.

Details means everything. The equipment and machines are carefully chosen. On the walls you have inspiring posters, logos and pictures. Photos of all the Mr Olympia winners throughout the years decorate the wall above the dumbbells and mirrors. Viktor even welded an angled stand on the hacklift. This to create alternative ways to put your feet and with that hit your muscles in more ways.

A mission for Viktor is to help all kinds of people, especially athletes who has high ambitions. For example he has helped Strong Man competitors and young people within motocross, soccer etc. Not only with the training, food and treatments, but to help them grow their mindset and to believe in themselves. It’s easy to lose motivation and to not have faith in yourself when you are young, especially at setbacks. Viktor find a big purpose in helping people to work with their mindset so they can reach their goals, enjoy what they do and

hopefully be their best version of themselves.

Viktor, Linn and their gym truly breathe a strong purpose and passion that spills over

on anyone that enter their gym or joining their team. If you are in the area, don’t miss out, make sure to visit Motala Fitness Center!
