TIF Viking

What TIF Viking does

TIF Viking (Turn og idrettsforeningen Viking) is a voluntary non-profit multi-sport club headquartered in Bergen, Norway, organized under Norwegian law as an idrettsforening (voluntary sports association). The club operates across 13 sports disciplines — including volleyball, handball, gymnastics, track and field, cross-country skiing, orienteering, taekwondo, beach volleyball, race walking, and functional fitness — and runs the Vikinghallen facility at Øvre Dreggsalmenningen 7 in central Bergen, with Åsane Arena used as the home venue for elite volleyball. It serves a broad membership base spanning children and youth (via Idretts-SFO and Aktivitets-SFO programs, summer and winter camps, Sprek Viking, and barneidretter), competitive and elite athletes (including Olympic-level and European-competition participants), recreational fitness members, seniors, and physiotherapy clients.

Revenue is generated from multiple streams: recurring membership fees across sports and the Treningssenter fitness center, subscription-based group training and personal training, professional physiotherapy service fees, on-site sports retail through Vikingbutikken (Craft-brand merchandise with member discounts), subscription SFO and camp programs, and facility rental/event hosting income (Bergen City Marathon week, taekwondo championships, volleyball tournaments, handball festivals at Haukelandshallen). The GTM is community-led, with members acquired via direct website enrollment, word-of-mouth, event participation, and youth program feeders.

Operations are managed through the Rubic third-party booking and membership platform, which is the sole operational technology — there are no proprietary technology components, integrations, APIs, apps, or AI/ML systems. Leadership comprises a small management team headed by Daglig leder (CEO) Roger Gjelsvik and Styreleder (Board Chair) Anders Søyland, with functional heads for finance, physiotherapy/personal training, youth sports, and events. The organization is member-owned through its general assembly (Representantskapet), with no parent company, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or external investors disclosed.
