The scanners at the indoor fitness areas open the doors. Anyone who does not have a Thoska card, e.g. as an external user, can purchase a guest Thoska card for €10 at any time at the Thulb (Thuringian University and State Library, Bibliotheksplatz 2).
FSU Jena Thoska cards are automatically activated by us, provided they are correctly specified in the booking. Other Thoska cards (e.g., EAH Jena) are activated at the University Sports Center, Oberaue 1, provided they have never been activated for fitness access before. (FAQ UNISPORT Card)
Fitness Strongfit
“You don't have to be a giant to make a difference for yourself.”
The “Strongfit” course is aimed at beginners and advanced athletes who enjoy exercising outdoors or are looking for an alternative to a gym. We combine exercises and training content from cross training, calisthenics, military training, and strongman training to create a challenging training session. The exercises are performed using your own body weight. But we also use all kinds of equipment, such as discarded tractor tires, sledgehammers, chains, and ropes—everything is a little “rougher” than in the gym. However, this should not deter you, but rather motivate you.
What are the benefits of all this exertion? Your successful full-body workout trains both strength and endurance. You will strengthen your legs, core, shoulders, and arm muscles in particular. Another challenge is learning to perform complex exercises with proper form.
The goal of each session: “You don't have to be a giant to make a difference for yourself” (but you can still become one).
Note:
As the courses take place outdoors on the cross-training equipment even in bad weather, we ask all participants to wear appropriate sports clothing.
