In body weight training, you’ll do interval-type body weight exercises where your heart rate varies and your oxygen uptake improves. This training is fun and energizing, and it develops strength, muscular endurance, coordination and balance in your entire body. The movements are picked to match each participant’s starting level, and we’ll offer options to suit everyone. Come get sweaty and out of breath with us! We foster a good atmosphere, the joy of movement and positive experiences. Everyone is welcome!

Registration for hobby groups will open on Thursday 21 August. Hobby groups will start in week 37, on Monday, 8 September 2025 onwards. The hobby groups will meet weekly throughout the school year unless otherwise stated. The hobby groups do not meet during school holidays. The hobbies are free of charge for the participants. The City of Espoo has insured the hobby group participants.

Everyone is welcome to hobby groups regardless of their language skills, functional capacity or past hobbies. Support for participation is available. When registering, please notify any support needs your child might have or if there is anything else of note, so that the hobby organiser can take it into account in their activities and make participating easier.

The organiser of the hobby group contacts the guardians about the practical arrangements for the hobby. Please contact the hobby organiser if you want to cancel your child’s participation or if you have questions about the hobby. It is possible to try out the hobby groups before signing up.
