Growth training. Strengthen your back. By Jón Þorsteinsson.
Jón Þorsteinsson came home to Iceland as a qualified physical education teacher and immediately started a sports school. The school was originally called Müllersskólin, as it mainly taught the popular Müller exercises. In addition to teaching to the public, Jón was responsible for training members of most of the town's sports clubs in gymnastics.
In 1935, Jón Þorsteinsson had a magnificent, custom-designed sports hall built. Its architects were Einar Sveinsson and Sigmundur Halldórsson and the building was in the Funkis style. The sports school operated in the building for the next four decades, until 1976. The building is number seven on Lindargata and today houses two stages of the National Theatre, Kassann and Kúlan.
Jón Þorsteinsson Sports Hall was the largest sports hall in Reykjavík until the town acquired the Hálogaland Sports Hall just after World War II, which was an old sports hall from the British occupation forces. In the early years, the Icelandic Handball Championship competition took place in the Lindargátuhúsin. It was also the main training facility for Ármenningar for many years.
