Vimma-sports ─ free recreational exercise for 12–16-year olds
The City of Helsinki organises free, year-round Vimma sports for young people aged 12–16. The free period is topped up on a customer card, which costs €4. The offering of Vimma sports aimed at secondary school-age children is very wide, and physical activity is organized everywhere in Helsinki. Previously, the City of Helsinki organised similar activities under the FunAction name, but as of the autumn season 2024, the name is Vimma sports.
Test, change, find ─ over 20 free activities
It is easy to join Vimma sports classes at any time during the season, and the activities do not require a long-term commitment. The sports selection includes young people’s favourites, such as climbing, gym, floorball, padel, dancing, and parkour. The wide range of classes is realised on the terms of the young people and under the guidance of a professional physical education instructor or club sports instructors.

The City of Helsinki insures the young people that participate in the activities. The insurance covers only the costs of public health care.
Get the top-up customer card
To make it easier for you to access sports facilities, you can acquire a rechargeable customer card from Helsinki’s sports services. The rechargeable customer card is required only for Vimma exercise classes held at Itäkeskus Swimming Hall (Olavinlinnantie 6), Liikuntamylly (Jauhokuja 3), and Töölö Sports Hall (Paavo Nurmen kuja 1). You can access other sports facilities without a customer card. In addition to the aforementioned locations, you can also acquire the card at Jakomäki Swimming Hall (Somerikkopolku 6), Pirkkola Swimming Hall (Pirkkolan metsätie 6), and Latokartano Sports Hall (Agronominkatu 26). The customer card costs 4 euros. If you already have a customer card, you can reload it for a new season free of charge.
