The class is instructed by Jansku Ryssy.

Let’s get the sweat on
BODYATTACK™ is a high-energy fitness class with moves that cater for total beginners to total addicts. We combine athletic movements like running, lunging and jumping with strength exercises such as push-ups and squats. A LES MILLS™ instructor will pump out energizing tunes and lead you through the workout – challenging your limits in a good way.
Bring indoor shoes, a water bottle and a sweat towel with you.
The class is instructed by Iida Laatikainen-Raussi.
4:00-4:50 PM. - Hip-hop Old School (Voimistelusali, VS)
Let’s get the party started
Learn classic hip-hop moves, dance together, and enjoy the groove. No dance experience needed – just bring your energy and good vibes! See you on the dance floor.
Bring indoor shoes (optional) and a water bottle with you.
Ecstatic Dance is free movement without choreography or rules – just follow your body’s rhythm. No talking, no substances, no judgment – only music, movement, and presence. The session flows from gentle awakening to energetic beats and ends in relaxation.
Bring a water bottle and warm clothes for the final relaxation – and an open mind.
You can find the mat for the relaxation part of the class in the equipment room L149.
