SYKETTÄ – News in October


A week ago we celebrated the traditional sport afternoon. A whooping 1200 persons were moving with us! That’s a nice way to embrace the autumn and start its routines. Check here that you know all the new stuff that is going on and pay attention especially to the changes in timetable in Opistotie 13.-17.10.

1 – Important! Changes in the usage of Opistotie sport hall 13.-17.10.
2 – Autumn break 17.-23.10. – No instructed group classes
3 – New practice in group classes: Mark yourself to the participant list

1 – Important! Changes in the usage of Opistotie sport hall 13.-17.10.


The big LAN-happening Gyostage takes place in Opistotie 14.-16.10. and the sport hall is reserved for them. avonia is one of the organizers and therefore the sports hall is in Savonias own use.

For SYKETTÄ that means whole lot of arrangements to be made in the usage of sport hall:

Arrangements concerning instructed group classes 13. – 16.10.:

Thursday 13.10.

Friday 14.10.

Saturday 15.10.

Sunday 16.10.


2 – Autumn break 17.-23.10. – No instructed group classes


During the autumn break (week 42, 17.- 23.10.) there are no instructed group classes or ice hockey turns.

Two exceptions regarding the group classes:

  • Sunday 23.10.: Toning at 16:00-16:55 
  • Sunday 23.10. Hot Yoga at 15.30 – 17.00
Regular set shifts and open turns are held as usual The gyms are open as usual too. You can check the opening hours from our website.

NOTICE! the saunas in Opistotie are taking a break too, so they won’t be warm during the autumn break.


3 – New practice in group classes: Mark yourself to the participant list


The new sanction system has been on work for a month now. Check here that you know how the system works!

1 – The insctructor will give you a tablet at the beginning of the class. Just tap the box in front of your name to mark that you have arrived! The list of names is in alphabetical order, so it is easy to find your name. NOTICE! Do not save the list, just tap your name!

2 – You arrive late = you get a warning. We understand that there are lots of good reasons why you can’t always make it on time for the class, but we can’t make exceptions for some people, because that takes a lot of time and work and it’s fair that the rules are same for all. Being on time also makes the start of the class smoother..

3 – Keep your SYKETTÄ-sticker with you. The instructor will tell you when they want to see it. 

What do I do if I get a warning I didn’t deserve? If you have arrived on time, marked your name to the tablet and you still get a warning, no worries. Technical errors happen and as soon as we get the information that for example the participant list hasn’t been saved properly, we fix it!


4 – Sport courses


Information about all the courses (descriptions, fees and lot more!) here and info about the open shifts and beginners courses for martial arts here.

Beginning in October:


5 – SYKETTÄ-monitor started 3.10.


SYKETTÄ-monitor has started his job again on 3.10. He will visit the sport halls and check that everyone there has the right to access the sport halls. Remember to keep your SYKETTÄ-sticker with you every time you visit our sport facilities!


6 – New sport offers: Bubble football and bouldering!


Remember to cehck the sport offers -page every now and then to see what kinds of offers you get with your SYKETTÄ-sticker!

1 – NEW! Want to play bubble football?

Kuplafutis (or bubble football) is a playful form of football, where the players wear a plastic bubble. There are hardly any rules in Kuplafutis, as long as you have fun and play fairly! The bubbles endure the fiercest tackles so you can make the most out of tackling your nastiest classmates! Playing bubble football is safe, suitable for all kinds of players, and most of all, great entertainment for student groups. Kuplafutis can be arranged outside or inside (for example in a sports hall).

Price: with the SYKETTÄ -sticker 220€/hour, normal price 250€/hour. The price includes the referee, a ball for playing and setting and emptying the bubbles. Look the sport offers for more details!

2 – Bouldering at VOEMA!

The first wednesday of the month is now a climbing day. That day the bouldering costs only 5 euros, if you have a valid SYKETTÄ-sticker. The fee includes the climbing shoes and you can come any time you want between 15 and 21. Look all the offers for VOEMA at the sport offers page!
