Back in 2015, OCR Training Denmark was born out of one simple idea:
Give people the knowledge and a space to train OCR like it’s a real sport.
We started with local bootcamps, and once Nikolaj Dam joined the team, then came race-day workshops, training events, trips to Spain, and company sessions. Before we knew it, we’d worked with almost 5,000 athletes – introducing them to obstacles, community, and proper grip strength.
We built something real. And fun. And honestly? It worked.
The post-COVID pivot
Like so many others, OCR Training Denmark took a hit during COVID. Events slowed down, group sessions faded, and that version of the business began to feel a little like yesterday’s news. AND we had done what we wanted to do! Communities had started to rise around the country – and we loved seeing it!
At the same time, my own journey took a turn – chasing personal growth, racing internationally, and eventually becoming World Champion. That mission to “become the best version of myself” turned out to be pretty damn powerful.
And now, it’s time for the next chapter.
Welcome to Get A Grip Training 💪
Get A Grip Training isn’t about running events or hosting bootcamps. It’s about real coaching, personal progress, and building a global OCR community in a new way.
Yes, it’s still me – Leon Kofoed – behind the curtain. But the game has changed:
Athletes are now training with me 1-on-1
We focus on performance, consistency, and adapting to real life
There’s a growing crew of Get A Grip athletes crushing races, staying consistent and chasing big goals
The obsession with grip strength, and the commitment to making OCR training more accessible, structured, and actually effective stay the same. I hope to share free resources, tips, and race-day nerd-outs, organise training camps and much more!
The new brand is aligned with where we’re heading – not just where we started.
What’s next?
The roster is full right now, but coaching spots open up regularly, as I get more accustomed to coaching. And hey who knows, maybe the coaching team will grow? Keep an eye out if you want to join the crew, and drop me a DM.
We’ll also be reintroducing the athletes one by one, sharing insights, training ideas, and instructional content to help the whole OCR community level up. Check that out on Instagram!
Let’s see where this journey leads.
Welcome to Get A Grip Training.
