Defence & Security » Gym2000 AS

Kopland Mek.Verksted was founded on 1 June 1991 (GYM2000 AS since 1 January 2005) by Knut Ole Kopland. Its business idea was to develop, manufacture and sell professional weight training equipment straight to the consumer. Since we started we have developed more than 60 different prototypes. We have also developed a number of other fitness-related products that are manufactured in Asia.

Framework agreement
GYM2000 AS entered a framework agreement with the Norwegian Armed Forces in January 2005. This means that we supply fitness equipment and services to many divisions of the Norwegian Armed Forces. Our specialist area is the custom production of equipment and, along with the armed forces, we have developed a mobile training centre for military use in international operations. GYM2000 AS uses the best quality raw materials, as well as technical and human expertise to produce fitness equipment that is popular with users, and is now one of the country’s leading suppliers of equipment for weight and fitness training.

GYM2000 is helping to develop the next generation of the human military machine, military personnel.

The True One Million Dollar Man is Today’s Marine
What has been done to assure the perfection of this machine???

The money spent on training today’s Marines exceeds that of Olympic and world class athletes. The consequences of improper conditioning & overtraining include:

  • Inability to perform combat tasks
  • Poor combat decisions made due to dyspnoea and lack of oxygen
  • Decreased shooting performance
  • Loss of concentration
  • Decreased motor ability
  • Obvious foot and orthopaedic problems

Fitness levels in the field drop after 6 days if not maintained.

Normally, exercise equipment equivalent to that in this container require 3 x 20 containers for transport. It costs about 40,000 U.S. per container by air cargo from Oslo to Kabul. Customizing the equipment for compact packing, saves U.S. $. 80,000 U.S. per unit. We have delivered 13 such devices to the Norwegian Armed Forces.
