Do you need a workout buddy?

This is a free low-threshold offer for students who need support to get started with physical activity.

🤔 Getting started with exercise can be challenging – whether it's about motivation, uncertainty in new environments, or finding it difficult to exercise at all, either alone or in larger groups.

👫 Through the offer training buddy you as a student get the opportunity to train with a fellow student who is there to support, motivate, and reassure you.

🤩 The training buddies are students who themselves have experienced that physical activity is significant for both mental and physical health. They have an intrinsic motivation for exercise and a desire to help others have positive experiences with physical activity.

Here's how the offer works:

  • You can be assigned a training buddy individually, or in a small group of 2–4 participants, depending on what you want.
  • The activities take place at the SiS sports center or outdoors, and can include:

  • Group classes
  • Training in the strength room
  • Hiking or running and similar. For those who enjoy outdoor training and fresh air

The training buddy follows up with you and helps you find confidence and mastery in your training routine.

SiS covers costs related to training during the period.
