Over one thousand martial arts athletes, from 13 different clubs, train in the Kuopio region. Puijo Areena offers modern facilities for training, camps and competitions.
Puijo Areena serves as an optimal location for gymnastics training and competitions. From the very beginning, artistic and aesthetic group gymnasts have participated in the detailed planning of the premises. There will be a dedicated hall for female artistic gymnasts with training and competition equipment and facilities. The adjacent court is planned to be equipped with apparatus for competition events for male gymnasts.
Gymnastics is a highly versatile ‘foundation sport’ which is considered suitable for all other athletes searching for an optimal co-training program. Gymnastics training helps develop physical and mental attributes that include flexibility, balance, speed, strength, coordination, agility, power and control. Gymnastics is also considered the ‘ideal sport to teach skills for life’. These skills include independence, confidence, focus, self-discipline and self-esteem.
Puijo Areena offers versatile training facilities. In addition to the modern sports courts, Puijo Areena also offers a running lane, a gym and physiotherapist services, for example.
