From world-class athletes to first-time lifters, every journey matters here.
The Training Hall was built by Odd Haugen—legendary strongman, world-class coach, and passionate community-builder. What started as a home gym became a global destination for strength athletes and everyday people looking for more than just fitness.
Now, with the addition of Parisi Speed School, that mission continues. We help youth athletes find confidence through movement, build speed the right way, and fall in love with the process of progress.
Together, The Training Hall and Parisi represent two generations of transformation—under one roof.
We believe training is about more than physical strength. It’s about building discipline, community, and confidence that carries over into every part of life. Our mission is to create a space where anyone—at any age or level—can become a stronger version of themselves.
It’s not about becoming a millionaire. It’s about helping people feel like they belong.

Odd Haugen founded The Training Hall to create a space for serious training that welcomed everyone who showed up and put in the work. Over time, it became a hub for athletes across the world, known for its no-nonsense coaching and genuine camaraderie.
Today, that legacy grows with the addition of Parisi Speed School, bringing high-energy, youth-focused performance training into the next chapter.
Our coaching team includes certified youth performance experts, competitive strength athletes, and lifelong mentors. We lead from experience and meet every athlete where they are.
