Guided exercise

Our most important goal at the sports center is to increase the exercise of the citizens and to offer health-promoting and maintaining exercise. The goal of exercise guidance is to produce the joy of exercise with the help of versatile indoor and water sports groups for all age groups, regardless of age and fitness level. Our operations can be found in different parts of the city.

Our sunny fitness instructors warmly welcome you to exercise!

The SPPB test measures balance control while standing, walking speed and muscle strength of the lower limbs when getting up from a chair. The test helps to identify those people who have mobility difficulties or impaired balance that increase the risk of falling.

Free testing will be performed at Apteekki Merkos (Merkosenkatu 5) on Tuesday, April 23.4. from 10 am to 12 pm and at Aurinko Apteek (Voimalankatu 2) on Monday 29.4. from 12 to 14 p.m.

Are you stressed? Anxious? Is recovery guaranteed?
Sound bowl relaxation is a wonderful, deeply relaxing way to stop in the middle of the rush and pay attention to the well-being of your body and mind. The vibrations of the bowls resonate in the body and thus also affect the brain waves, causing them to fall and rise back and forth from the functional beta level (the level of the conscious mind) back to the alpha level (the border between sleep and wakefulness). A sound bowl landscape is created by sound bowls of different sizes, a gong, koshis and a rain stick. Sound bowl relaxation is excellent for calming down, relaxing, relieving stress and anxiety or improving sleep quality. In sound bowl relaxation, one lies on a gym platform wrapped in a blanket. Dress warmly, you can also take a small pillow and a water bottle with you if you want.
