Gym instruction for beginners

Gym instruction

Gym instruction for beginners is meant to help you get started with gym training. Instruction is meant for a generally healthy person with little or no experience of gym training. If you suffer from musculoskeletal disorders, for example, it is recommended that you contact FSHS (the Finnish student health service) or other healthcare service first and start your training with their help. The SportUni fee must be paid before the sessions.

You can buy gym instruction for beginners services in packages of 1 or 2 sessions. These includes a personal gym training program. One session lasts for 55 minutes. The service is available at every SportUni centre.
