FAQ

JKG welcomes everyone who wants to move and feel good—regardless of age, gender, ability, background, income, or previous experience. The youngest children train together with an adult in family groups, and there is no upper age limit. We offer children’s gymnastics and dance from around age four, aesthetic group gymnastics for youth, and a wide variety of strength, cardio, and dance classes for adults.

In addition to our regular groups, we offer senior fitness like “IKI Liike 65+”, specialized classes such as “Supernova” and “Rörelseglädje” for participants with specific needs, and male-focused sessions like “ManPower” — all designed to ensure that every member feels safe, inspired, and at home in our movement community.

You —or your child—sign up in our HOIKA system. Create (or log in to) your account, choose the classes you want, confirm, and the pay right away. Registration always covers an entire term, but you may try every class once for free, swap to another class within the same week if you miss one, and pay with Epassi / Smartum exercise benefits.

Step by step

  1. Open the HOIKA link → jkg.fi/en/registration/
  2. Change language to Swedish or Finnish (HOIKA isn’t available in English) and search “Jakobstads Gymnastikförening”.
  3. Click Register (new users) or Log in (returning users).
  4. Choose Anmälning / Registration, tick the classes you want for the term.
  5. Confirm and pay right away.

Save your username and password for next term, and contact us if you need help at any step.

Do you have an exercise benefit like Epassi, Smartum, or Edenred? If so, select that payment option. You’ll receive an invoice by email. Then, open your Epassi or Smartum app, search for JKG, and pay the corresponding amount there.

If your balance doesn’t cover the full fee, pay the remaining amount on the invoice using the reference number provided.

Please note that exercise benefits are personal – they cannot be used to pay for your child’s fees.

Yes, men are welcome at all our classes. Feel free to read the class descriptions for more details and don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

  • We also offer a group specifically tailored for men:
    “Träningsmix för män” – circuit training for men of all ages; no prior experience needed.

Over 100 of our approximately 800 members are boys or men, so you’ll definitely have company. And of course, you’re always just as welcome in any of our other classes if this time doesn’t suit you.

The term fee depends on age and how many classes per week you attend.
For example:
1 class = €55 per term (€50 for children)
2 classes = €65
3 classes = €75
An annual membership fee of €10 is included.

You’re always welcome to try a class for free before deciding, and if you miss your regular class, you can make it up during the same week (subject to availability).

See the full price list at [jkg.fi/en/term-fee/] or feel free to contact us directly.

Yes! We offer one free trial in every group so you can explore and find what suits you before making a decision. No advance registration is needed – just show up!

Once you’ve registered for a class, you’re also free to switch to another one if needed. For example, if you can’t make it on Tuesday, you’re welcome to join a class on Wednesday that week instead.

Our classes are held at “Idrottsgården” / “Urheilutalo”, Rettig Sport Center, and various schools around Jakobstad-Pietarsaari.
