SportUni will open two sport centres on Tuesday 2 June 2020 with limited services

SportUni follows the instructions of Tampere Universities and the Finnish Government. The management of Tampere Universities have decided that sport facilities can be opened by following safety instructions and the hygiene instructions of the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare. We make special arrangements to prevent spread of the coronavirus.
Please read this newsletter before coming to the sport centres!

We will open the following services on Tuesday 2 June at Tamppi Arena and TAMK sport centre:

  • Gyms
  • Outdoor facilities (outdoor gyms, beach volley)
  • Outdoor classes (8.6.-)
  • Personal training services
  • Remote sport consultation

The facilities of Atalpa at the city centre will possibly be opened after Midsummer after the floor renovation. Indoor group exercise classes and ball game facilities remain closed for now and the situation will be reconsidered later. Tamppi Arena will be closed for a few days in June because of entrance examinations and renovation in the sports hall. More information about this later. Bommari is closed.

Let’s exercise safely!

Please come to sport facilities only if you feel well. Wash your hands carefully and often with soap. Hand sanitizer is available in the facilities. If you cough or sneeze, use a handkerchief and throw it into the waste basket right away or use the inside of your elbow. Wash your hands immediately afterwards. Consider other users and keep the safety distance.

Special arrangements in sport facilities

  • Do not come if you are ill. We do not recommend using the facilities if you belong to a risk group.
  • We will make it possible to keep the safety distance by making room and equipment arrangements. Notice the safety distance during your whole time in the facilities.
  • The number of visitors in the sports facilities will be given on our website. We recommend exercising during quiet times.
  • We have intensified cleaning and the staff does regular cleaning rounds in the sports facilities.
  • Take care of good hand hygiene and use a personal training towel.
  • Wipe the machines and equipment before and after your exercise with disinfectant or disinfectant wipes available in the facilities. Throw them to the waste basket right away after use.

Refund policy

TAMK’s management decided that SportUni payments are not refunded because of the coronavirus situation. But if you paid your SportUni fee in March and do not want to use the facilities anymore, you have the right to refund of the spring fee (students 49€/staff 55€). In this situation, the access right expires. SportUni staff contacts persons who have this right.

Here are the opening hours of Tamppi Arena and TAMK sport centre.
