SportUni’s New Gym at Hippos Opens in August 2025

SportUni Hippos

Good things are worth the wait. SportUni is expanding and will open a new gym at Hippos in August 2025.

SportUni Hippos will open at the end of August in the basement of the middle building of TOAS’s student housing complex at Hippos. The gym will be equipped with high-quality warm-up machines and plate-loaded strength machines, covering a total area of 425 square metres. The space will include three weightlifting platforms and a large rack with four lifting stations. 

There will be no customer service point at SportUni Hippos; instead, customers will be served by the SportUni Kauppi customer service desk. After paying the sports fee, entry to the gym will be via a virtual access card, which will be introduced already in May at the University of Tampere’s city centre campus in Atalpa and at SportUni Keskusta. 

SportUni Hippos will be open daily from 05:00 to 23:00. 

If you’re keen to get active already, SportUni’s sports centres in Hervanta, Kauppi, and City Centre are open all summer and will continue operating normally during the autumn term. 

Welcome!
