The Helsinki Oulunkylä gym will undergo a highly anticipated and much-needed renovation at the end of August.

After the August renovation, the gym equipment will be updated throughout the upcoming winter as new machines arrive.

What changes will the renovation bring in August?

• The general free weight area will be expanded by approximately 40 square meters, and the entire surface material will be replaced
• The layout of the women’s gym will be adjusted to enlarge its free weight area
• A fixed partition wall will be built in front of the women’s changing room door for privacy
• The old power rack and the small squat rack will be removed and replaced with two new half racks
• One old bench press bench will be removed and replaced with two new ones
• Two old cross trainers will be removed and replaced with two spinning bikes
• The shower rooms will undergo a deep Nanoksi cleaning (shower partitions will be removed before the renovation begins)
• Lighting in the changing rooms will be upgraded to LED fixtures

Additional upgrades ordered for the gym, expected to arrive during the winter:

• Hack squat machine
• Preacher curl bench
• Kettlebell rack and new kettlebells
• New barbells
• Additional bumper weight plates
• Replacement of adjustable benches
• Three new treadmills (to replace the most worn-out ones)

The gym will be closed for training due to the renovation from Wednesday, August 27 at 6:00 AM until Saturday, August 30 at 6:00 AM.
Renovations to the facade and other minor updates will continue throughout the autumn, but these will not affect training possibilities.

Nearby gyms—Helsinki Käpylä Group and Helsinki Tripla Group—will be available during the renovation period.
