Are you new to the club? Are you unsure of what to bring in your gym bag and what you need to know at the gym? Here are some guiding points to help you during your first workout.
First of all
To train at SiO Athletica you must be a member. You can register here on our website or you can come to one of our receptions and register there. All our gyms are staffed throughout the opening hours.Before you sign up, you can ask for a trial session so that you can test the gym. If you are a student and live in Oslo, you can get a free trial session.
Before training
When you have signed up as a member, you have to download the SiO Athletica app. This is your mobile key to open the gates at the clubs. In addition, you can book group classes in this app. Group classes can also be booked here on the website. If you are going to a group class, it might be a good idea to read about our group training classes and get to know our booking rules.
Then, it was the packing of the training bag. What you need in your bag varies depending on the activity you will be doing. But here are some basics that might be nice to have with you:
- The SiO Athletica app on your phone
- Indoor shoes
- Drinking bottle
- Padlock
- Change of clothes, towel and soap if you are going to shower at the gym
At the gym
If you are new to the gym you are visiting, have a chat with the host at the reception. They can help you if you have any questions.
- Ask the hosts about the SiO Athletica app and membership.
- Ask the hosts for directions to the changing rooms, studio and group class studios
- Ask the hosts about where the lockers are located and place your belongings in a locker in the changing rooms, or a smaller cupboard in the hallway, and close it with a padlock while you train.
- You can buy a padlock in our receptions.
In the studio
Take the time you need to familiarize yourself with the gym. In this way, you get a good overview of where the equipment, training machines and studio areas are.If you are unsure about the training machines, ask a studio host or spend some time looking at them. In many cases there is a small instruction-label on the side. Wash equipment after use, so that it is ready for the next member.If you need help to get started in the studio, it might be good to contact a PT. Read about our PT team here.
PT intro deal for new members
If you just became a member we have a extra good deal for you. PT Intro is a package that consist of 3 sessions to a reduced price. PT Intro can be used within 1 month after signing up. Buy this in our receptions or here on our website.
Attending a group class
In the app, it says where and in which studio the group class is. At the gym there is signs for all the studio areas. Ask one of our employees if you are unsure where to go, we will be happy to help you.Arrive at least 10 minutes before the class starts. This gives you plenty of time to settle in and ask questions if there is anything you are wondering about. Contact the instructor to register you attendance. Take the opportunity to ask if you need any equipment. If it is your first time attending a class, i is also a good idea to tell the instructor this.
After training
Double check that you have all your things with you. Book your next group class and look forward to your next workout.
