In addition to a diverse and affordable range of sports activities, SYKETTÄ university sports also offers services that promote a healthy and active lifestyle. All services are free for SYKETTÄ users.
Exercise Buddy
The Exercise Buddy is a service offered by SYKETTÄ university sports for all university students in Joensuu who want to engage in physical activity but would like a companion or small group. You do not need to have an active SYKETTÄ sports sticker to participate in the Exercise Buddy service.
Physical Activity Counselling
SYKETTÄ exercise counseling offers individual and group guidance to support students in achieving their well-being goals through exercise, nutrition, and self-awareness. Individual guidance focuses on personal needs, while the *Well-being for Everyday Life* group helps create sustainable daily routines together.
Borrowing Sports Equipment
All SYKETTÄ users can borrow sports equipment free of charge. The equipment is available at the ISYY office in the SYKETTÄ exercise counseling room. The borrowing period for sports equipment is one week.
Fitness Testing
SYKETTÄ organizes a fitness testing day in collaboration with ISLO, Pokali, and Karelia UAS’s Tarmo learning and service environment. Two testing options are available: a low-threshold test and an active exerciser’s test, allowing you to choose the one that suits you best.
Gym instruction
Would you like to start training in the gym for the first time or after a long break, but the equipment, performance techniques and putting together a gym program are troubling you?
