University exercising

Why

A freshman shouldn't neglect exercise. Good physical fitness contributes to academic success, as bench pressing is surprisingly hard work. In computer science, good physical fitness is only emphasized when you have to hunch over a computer day after day, almost around the clock. A healthy mind in a healthy body, etc.

Where

UniSport comes to the rescue. It offers sports services for students at a really affordable price, and it's right next to Exatum in the Kumpula sports center. There are also UniSport sports centers in Meilahti, Viikki, Töölö (Aalto University School of Business) and the City Center Campus.

What

UniSport offers a wide range of sports; there are traditional team sports such as floorball and basketball, a real raw weight room and a variety of group exercise classes such as spinning and yoga, as well as the extremely popular Bodypump. There are also various dances and some kind of aromatherapy. Those who like to do push-ups will also be enthusiastic about the carefree shoulders classes, which help with shoulder problems.

In addition to the regular classes included in the fitness fee, there are also course-based exercises available, where you can receive instruction from a top professional for a small fee (usually 10-70€). The courses cover topics such as gym start, swimming lessons and various dances, such as ballet and jazz dance. The Kumpula sports centre has a modern climbing wall, which can be used at an affordable price.

Minäkö

UniSportin tunnit ovat pääsääntöisesti kaikille sopivia. Sinun ei siis tule olla lajin harrastaja, voidaksesi osallistua vaikkapa jooga-tunnille. Myöskään rapakuntoisia ei katsota kieroon. Heille on lisäksi tarjolla ns. kuntoa kevyemmin -tunteja, joista on hyvä aloittaa oman paremman tulevaisuuden rakentaminen. Kun myös kuntosalille on tarjolla ohjausta aivan harjoitusohjelman laadinnasta lähtien, on liikuntapalveluista vaikea kieltäytyä.
