Gym training for 6th-9th graders

Start going to the gym as a hobby! Aimed at pupils in grades 6 to 9, the lessons combine a sense of community, energetic atmosphere and learning the basics of gym training under the guidance of a professional in sports. The lessons also offer the opportunity to get to know other young people in your area and find new friends. You don’t need prior knowledge or skills to participate, our instructors are there for you!

The instructor will pick up the participants from the door at Fressi before the lesson starts. You need a padlock for the dressing room lockers at Fressi, so bring your own padlock with you. We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and clean indoor shoes that make it easy to move around.

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.  

The Espoo Hobby Path offers free hobbies according to children’s and young people’s wishes. The activities are for pupils in grades 3–9 and take place after school days at school premises, near the school or via remote connection. The Espoo Hobby Path implements the national Finnish Model for Leisure Activities in Espoo. The principles of a safer space are applied in the hobby groups.
