In addition to a diverse and affordable range of sports activities, SYKETTÄ university sports also offers services that promote an active lifestyle. All services are free for SYKETTÄ users.

Sports Buddy
The Sports Buddy is a service offered by SYKETTÄ university sports for all university students in Joensuu who would like to exercise but don’t have a friend. You do not need to have a SYKETTÄ membership to participate in the Sports Buddy service.

Physical Activity Counselling
SYKETTÄ physical activity counseling offers individual guidance to support students in achieving their well-being goals through exercise, nutrition, and self-awareness.

Borrowing Sports Equipment
All SYKETTÄ users can borrow sports equipment free of charge. The equipment is available at the ISYY office. The borrowing period for sports equipment is one week.

Gym instruction
Would you like to start gym training for the first time or after a long break, but you’re unsure about the equipment, proper techniques, or how to create a gym program?

Physical Activity Tests
SYKETTÄ organizes physical activity test day twice a year in collaboration with ISLO, Pokali, and Karelia UAS’s TARMO learning and service environment. Two testing options are available: a low intensity test and an active exerciser’s test, allowing you to choose the one that suits you best.
