How to Join?
Anyone can participate in JoenVoLi classes and activities. The recommended minimum age is 15 years.
No pre-registration is required. You are welcome to join any class.
Arrive at the venue listed in the schedule approximately 10 minutes before the class starts. A door attendant will be inside the entrance to let you in if the doors are locked, check your season pass, collect single-session fees (cash, MobilePay, short number 20233, ePassi, Edenred or Smartum), or mark your 10-class pass. Please note that bank card payments are not accepted at the exercise venues. The door attendant will also direct you to the changing rooms and the exercise hall.
You can find the addresses and photos of all exercise venues online. At Länsikatu School and Tulliportinkatu School, the doors are open just before classes begin. At other locations, the door attendant will let you in or provide a door code.
The single-session fee is €8 per class (€12 for Ukkojumppa). If you plan to attend regularly, you can purchase:
A 10-class pass (€68), available from the door attendant or the office during opening hours. The 10-class pass is valid for one year from the date of purchase.
A season pass, allowing unlimited attendance during the season ( not valid for summer classes):
Autumn 2026 + Spring 2027: €175 (€160 for students, pensioners and unemployed participants)
Autumn 2026 only: €95 / €85
Spring 2027 only: €100 / €90
Plus annual membership fee: €20
Classes last 45-55 minutes (exception: Ukkojumppa and tanssillinen voimistelu lasts 1.5 hours). Classes scheduled for one hour always end five minutes early to allow for a smooth transition between groups. Please enter the hall only after the previous group has finished and leave promptly after the JoenVoLi class ends.
Bring your own exercise mat (or a towel; not needed for dance-based classes, Asahi, or Helppojumppa). For Yin Yoga, please also bring warm clothing and a small blanket. Shoes are not permitted on the Urheilutalo's tatami mats (except soft-soled dance shoes). Outdoor shoes are not allowed in any hall.
For kettlebell classes, you will need your own kettlebell (a limited number are available to borrow). Other equipment is provided at the venues. Please note that the exercise mats belonging to the facilities may not be borrowed, so bringing your own mat or towel is recommended.
Please respect everyone's opportunity to enjoy the class by saving conversations and social catch-ups for breaks or before and after the session.
Enjoy your workout! Feedback and questions are always welcome via email at joenvoli.toimisto@gmail.com or through our online feedback form.
Please wash or sanitize your hands before and after class. Practice good cough etiquette by avoiding coughing into your hands or directly into the air. Attend classes only when you are feeling well.
