Rules and regulations for indoor sports facilities

General rules

Sports facilities are primarily intended for sports and exercise activities and sports events.
Any instructions issued by the staff regarding order, safety and other matters must be obeyed at all times. A person or community who violates these rules and regulations or other instructions can be ordered to leave the sports facility and be banned from the sports facility for a fixed period of time.
Everyone uses sports facilities at their own risk. The general safety instructions of the sports facility must be obeyed at all times. The City of Helsinki has not taken out insurance for the users of sports facilities.
Users are personally responsible for their property at sports facilities. Any lost and found items must be handed over to the staff.

The users of the sports facility must take care of any moving of equipment themselves and see to it that any equipment that they use is returned to its designated place after use.
Users who intentionally damage the sports facility or its equipment are liable for damages.
Different sports should be engaged in at the places designated for them using appropriate equipment and during the opening hours of the sports facility.
Any damaged equipment, dangerous situations or accidents must be immediately reported to the staff.
If necessary, the sports facility may be closed in part or in full.

Focus on yourself and also give others the chance to have a good experience. Respect everyone’s physical integrity, both in the way you talk and the way you act. Sexual behaviour and harassment are prohibited. Respect people’s diversity.
Behave properly and expect others to do so as well. If you witness discrimination, harassment or other inappropriate behaviour, intervene, if necessary, and report it to the staff.
Consuming or being under the influence of intoxicants is prohibited at sports facilities.
Observe general cleanliness and take other users into consideration at sports facilities.
Avoid using your mobile phone. If you need to use your phone during exercise, keep it on silent. If you need to make phone calls or video calls, do so outside the sports facility/gym. This ensures training without interruptions to both you and other customers. Use headphones at the gym if you want to listen to music while you exercise.
Photography in the toilets, sauna, washing and dressing rooms is prohibited.
In addition to these rules and regulations, sports facilities may issue facility-specific clarifying instructions.

In effect as of 1 January 2024.
