10 € insurance payment is obligatory for a person who wish to attend any of those courses and sport courses themselves cost ~6-16 € per semester.
The not so funny part is that the subscribing period started on 14.10. at 9.00 a.m. and most courses were full 5 minutes after. The website experienced also hardships with staying up and proper functioning under pressure of thousands of activity hungry people.
- Plan in advance what you would like to take, also the plan b's and c's.
- Read carefully course instruction: some courses don't take subscriptions on this date but have instead a meeting somewhere where they give password personally for appealing applicants
- About the gym (walk-in) of the school: I think you can go there to register up whenever you please, also before 14.10. after you have enrolled to school. I went there on 14.10. because I didn't yet know how my sport course selection would turn out to be and was told that next possible time for obligatory pre-examination and show-around would be in January; the gym was fully booked already and no exceptions for that. Class activities like bodypump or zumba etc. are a different matter and I guess there is space for 80€ semester fee. Overall costs of the walk-in gym would be some 175e for 6 months.
- I subsidised walk-in gym by going to commercial Venice Beach -gym on east side of centrum. It's open 24/7, costs 6e/week for a student and is fairly spacious and has good quality equipment. Minor flaw is that they have only 1 squatting rack and quite a toy-like-quality, disappointing weightlifters. However I'm able to do everything I could wish for there more or less and the price also includes variety of classes to participate. The gym also has mixed gender sauna open all the time. The contract is binding for 1 year but if you move out of city during that period, you get a certificate of unrolling as citizen from city office and by showing that can break the gym contract. Highly recommended.
I had no prior experience about rope climbing, but I just happened to bump into couple of friends there accidentally and they taught me how to ensure that my partner would stay alive and how to keep my own life also and after that I bought my own shoes and harness here and climb on Mondays when it's cheaper, 6-7€ entrance for unlimited time period. Renting gear costs 5.5€ if you don't have your own but i'd recommend buying it right away if you have any intention to continue every now and then. Altogether great hobby and good complementary action for bodybuilding.
I also attend HipHop class from KIT sport offering once a week. Annoying thing is that the class takes place from 21.00 till 22.30. Otherwise it's been this far quite nice. Unlike in Finland, here also some guys dance hip-hop and gender distribution is something like 5 men - 20 girls in our group. The hall where this class is run has good floor and is spacious enough. Mirrors are there but they are apparently very old and therefore bend image awfully.
Yet another activity is pair dance class taking place on every Wednesday for 2 hours from 8 p.m. It's completely free of charge and offered by local student organization. There we dance standard style dances with lead of an instructor. Audio systems are good and teaching is clear and progressing rather slow giving changes for those with 2 left legs and sometimes boring the life out of me. There are a little bit more guys than girls at the moment but it's fairly balanced and I haven't experienced problems getting a pair. Gentlemen get to choose every other and Ladies every other time so pairs are mainly constantly changing between every dance.
