Information in English
Voimisteluseura Helsinki is nonprofit gymnastics club located in Helsinki. We offer classes to everyone starting from 3 years of age all the way to adults. At Voimisteluseura Helsinki, everyone is welcome to participate just as they are. We promote equality, inclusion and a safe environment where everyone is treated with respect and fairness.
VSH’s main goals in training are learning and enjoyment. It is important that every training session provides opportunities for success and the joy of movement.
The main focus is on training that takes each individual’s effort and progress into account. During training, the focus is on the process rather than the end result. Our activities are diverse, play-based and designed to support children’s development. We consider our club successful in its mission if children enjoy coming to training today, look forward to the next sessions with excitement, and continue to participate for many years to come.
Sports we offer
Artistic gymnastics
Artistic gymnastics is a traditional sport practised on apparatus. It is divided into women's and men's artistic gymnastics, which use partly different apparatus. Training includes acrobatics, bar work, balance, strength and flexibility. We offer artistic gymnastics at all of our locations, from age 3 up to adults.

Parkour
In parkour classes, the goal is to learn to use the body in a versatile and controlled manner. Participants learn various original and borrowed movements from other disciplines, such as jumps, landings, vaults, passes, climbs, wall runs, and leaps. It's a physically demanding sport that requires static and dynamic balance, endurance, strength, and flexibility. Classes aim to train these attributes, including thorough warm-ups and stretching to reduce the risk of injury.
Jekkuparkour and Aikuiset (adults) parkour — basic parkour movements, progressing to more demanding techniques as the basics come together. Suitable for everyone regardless of previous experience.
Jekkuparkour AVOIN (open) — suitable for everyone interested in parkour, and particularly well suited to children and young people who find it hard to follow precise instructions or to work in a group.
Jekkuparkour & Freerun — creative, flowing movement and finding your own style: jumps, wall runs, take-offs, flips, vaults and passes combined into smooth sequences.
Jekkuparkour EDISTYNEET (advanced) — for participants with a particular interest in developing in the sport. Basic skills are expected (forward and backward rolls, roll, cartwheel, step/safety vault, speed vault, wall run, tic tac). You can join only on your own coach's recommendation or after a separate test session.
Trampoline gymnastics
Trampoline gymnastics suits everyone, as a hobby or as a competitive sport. Because it loads the back and the joints of the legs, every session — recreational groups included — also contains a warm-up, stretching, strength work and basic gymnastics, while developing agility, coordination and sport-specific skills. Competition trampolines behave very differently from garden trampolines, which is why the basics are built carefully first.
Groups names:
JekkuTramppa - is suitable for all young trampoline participants
Trampoliinivoimistelu - is suitable for over 10 year olds.
Trampoliinivoimistelu JATKO - is more advanced class, that children can join after training at least one semester in trampoline gymnastics. You can ask you coach or our office about these groups.
