Human Performance

Performance isn't reserved for elite athletes only. You perform at a high level too - every day, within the complex systems you navigate.. ANTRO™ Performance merges anthropology, physiology, psychology, spirituality, and behavior design to help people function at their best.

Our Method

Human as a System

At ANTRO™ Performance, we approach human performance through the lens of systems innovation. You don’t work with a single coach, but with an integrated ecosystem of specialists — aligned across physiology, psychology, philosophy, environmental design, and human behaviour.

We map the structures you operate within, identify the patterns that drive your behaviour, and analyse the feedback loops that shape your performance. Then we redesign them — creating conditions where your capacity can scale.

This is the human being understood as a system — and elevated through precision, insight, and innovative thinking.

Hva er én ting du kan gjøre i dag for å kjenne på tilhørighet og fellesskap?

Kan du ringe en venn?
Slå av en prat med en butikkmedarbeider?
Ta ut høretelefonene når du sitter på bussen?

Det er på tide å tenke nytt om menneskelig prestasjon.

For a long time, meditation was dismissed in the West as something vague, mystical, or purely spiritual. But neuroscience tells a different story.

In recent decades, brain scans of long-term meditators and beginners alike have revealed something remarkable: meditation doesn’t just change how we feel—it changes how the brain is wired.

The amygdala, associated with stress and emotional reactivity, begins to shrink.

The prefrontal cortex, responsible for focus, decision-making, and self-awareness, thickens.

There’s improved connectivity between key brain regions, especially those linked to memory, empathy, and emotional regulation.

In other words, meditation is not a practice of "escaping reality" but rather about training the brain to respond to it more skillfully.

What’s more, these changes aren’t reserved for monks or full-time practitioners. Research suggests that even 10–15 minutes a day, over a few weeks, can lead to measurable effects.

We tend to think of performance in physical terms: speed, strength, stamina. But what about attention? Composure? Resilience? These, too, are trainable—and the mind responds to training just like the body does.

Not our own words today but sharing here a great reminder from the powerful @nicolajanehobbs .

For anyone interested in the psychology of rest and how it connects to holistic human performance, we cannot recommend this book enough: The Relaxed Woman, by Nicola Jane Hobbs.

Any athlete knows this, so why is it so foreign for the "normal" man or woman? Before you can perform well, you need to rest. Do your work as a human being and remember to rest!

The question isn't so much whether there are massive health problems on the rise but rather - what do we do about it.

Part of the solution might be to reclaim the "powers of being human".

The starting point should be to create a strong foundation for mastering the basics such as sleep, nutrition, exercise, and meditation.

In the process of change, hitting emotional rock bottom often feels like failure. But it's in that darkness that clarity and decision are born.

This moment, what many people call their "lowest point", is where transformation begins. When there's "nothing to lose," we find the strength to rebuild with intention.

Growth doesn’t always start with motivation. Sometimes, it starts with pain. And that pain becomes the foundation for resilience, change, and a new kind of strength.

Being human is not a limitation — it’s a design advantage.

You were built to adapt, move, focus, breathe deeply, and grow through challenge.

While the world races toward artificial performance, we return to something more powerful: the nervous system, the body, and the mind — working in sync.

At Antro, we rethink human performance by reconnecting you with what you already have.

Follow us to train your biology, not just your productivity.

CONSISTENCY WORKS 💥 3 months separate these two pictures from each other, as well as a holiday and time off! There hasn't been ONE thing that Iskra has done right but rather many small things, consistently over a long time. We started our journey together in February, and although the weight on the scale hasn't changed more than 2-3 kilos since then, Iskra has massively changed her body composition - as well as her perception of what health & fitness is all about. It's not necessarily about losing weight but about getting stronger, having more energy, feeling good, crushing goals, and of course enjoying the process. So proud of you @iskra_athena! And thank you to @basegym_hq for all the support along the way 💪 looking forward to see how this continues! Let's goooo! 💥💥💥

YOUR BODY IS A FEEDBACK SYSTEM. Today I had planned on doing heavy squats but lack of energy led me to a different approach; some kettlebell & mobility exploration ended up in quite a decent workout! Yasss. 💥🥳 Here my own kettlebell adaptation of a 360/180 cossack squat for hip mobility, from the powerful @carloscatedra_bmc On grey and demotivating days, acknowledge that you're not a 100% punch and rather do what you can; see where your body takes you, and work from that! Happy Saturday ☺️

It’s Monday!! Let’s do something great! 🥳

Results come as a consequence of something. That «something» most often is effort. When I started strength training many years ago, I too, like many people, wanted to work out «to get a nicer body». But this was actually reversed engineering. It was when my focus changed from «results» to «progress and effort» that I actually got the body I wanted! More specifically; when I stopped focusing on my body, but rather on getting better, stronger, learning something new, lifting heavier weights, improving… I remember thinking «wow, I’m here! I’m where I wanted to be all along!»

But something else also had happened along the way too: the end result got less important, the «nice body» ideal had faded - I had changed. 🌱

Now I see my body just as a bi-product of effort, and this is easier to relate to and evaluate; I can be mad at or disappointed in my effort, but not my body. In the end I believe this is also a healthier and more sustainable approach to fitness. Find something you want to get better at, put in the effort to get there, become obsessed with the process and the progress, and see what happens - you might experience a «wow» moment yourself. ☺️

Go get it & Happy Monday 🥳

🌬️ BREATHE BETTER 🌬️not more. Today's workout was about quality over quantity! 🙏 A few rounds of intervals on the rowing machine and finally on the treadmill, all while only using nasal breathing. What an incredibly powerful tool it is when done right! When exercise becomes too strenuous though I'm trying not to force it - still in the explorative phase of this concept so just starting to learn! If you want to learn more about the science behind it, I'd definitely recommend reading Patrick McKeown's book @oxygenadvantage #theoxygenadvantage

Nothing is constant! ☺️ I made this collage 3 years ago when I tried out a little "bulking and shredding" experiment for fun. 🙊 At that point I worked as a business consultant in Oslo but I thought: "I'll track the progress, make a before-and-after-shot, and maaaybe I'll get to use this picture at some point in the future!" Indeed I did - I'm currently getting my certificates with ISSA as a PT, Nutritionist and Strength & Conditioning Coach, and what better reference to use for new clients than myself. ☺️ 10 weeks and 5 kgs separate these pictures (of which at least 2 kgs is water, given the fact I went from high-carb diet to low-carb diet in a short amount of time - not necessarily the way to go...). Swipe right for more recent progress; the change is from September 2019 to December 2019. My body sure has changed, and it keeps on changing - but it's supposed to! Nothing is constant. Welcome it, embrace it, learn from it, experiment, and enjoy the process. 💪
