Sports tutors

CampusSport’s sports tutors are volunteer peer exercisers who encourage the students and staff members of the universities in Turku to exercise more. You can ask a tutor to present our gyms or sports halls to you. Tutors organise events and excursions.

Tutors also host a free weekly sports shift called Just for fun. For more information, please visit the page Sport tutors.

Sport shifts

The shifts in CampusSport’s schedule are divided into levels from 1 to 3, depending on how challenging the shift is. You can check the level of each class from the page Workout descriptions.
