Heat and climate
CrossFit Nordic is open-air with fans. Its training floor relies on industrial ventilation, so expect a warmer room than a full air-conditioned gym. ASCARO trains outdoors on a rooftop in central Stockholm, so sessions depend on the weather. Pack for the conditions on the day.
For the other gyms, check with the box before you travel if heat matters to you.
