Get the hidden strength of ancient warriors at the House of Strength
This experience will take place at the House of Strength, which is inspired by the traditional Iranian gym, Zurkhaneh. The Zurkhaneh served as the hideout of the ancient Persian warriors.
The HOS is a modern interpretation of the traditional gym. If you translate the Persian word Zurkhaneh, it means “House of Strength.”
House of Strength® pursues the primitive form of strength. Strength includes both body and mind.
Body Strength
Exercise from ancient times such as Persian Meel, Macebell, Kettlebell, and Stone are the most primitive forms of exercise left over when each of the complex decorations dressed in today’s fitness culture is removed.
It is based on the universal act of mixing farming, hunting, fighting. It is a natural and powerful prototype of fitness.
Mental Strength
The 16th century Persia was under the control of Osman Türk. The Zurkhaneh was a clandestine warrior training school to resist the ruling forces. Not only physical strength but also mental strength based on resistance spirit. The primitive form of strength comes from resistance to freedom. Compliance makes soldiers, but resistance makes warriors.
