Join us in FLORIDA and MIAMI BEACH!

Train at top gyms with passionate instructors who bring out your best, soak up the sun on iconic Miami Beach, explore new fitness trends, and experience the thrill of a basketball or boxing match.

We’ll enjoy amazing food — and the world’s best salty donuts — before hitting the road for a scenic drive to Key West, where we’ll spend the day on a boat trip with snorkeling. The adventure continues in Orlando with a visit to Universal Studios, and maybe even a chance to try skydiving if you dare!

Finally, we head to New York City, where we’ll combine big-city vibes with great workouts — including a jog through the legendary Central Park.

PS! Love to travel?
At Hurdal Verk, you choose two different lines — which means at least two exciting travel destinations during the year!
