You can significantly improve your physical fitness in a short amount of time by doing high intensity interval training using various training machines. We develop individual training programmes using ergometers by performing an aerobic fitness assessment and a functional threshold power test. One session takes approximately 20-30 minutes (including warm up and cool down).

Everyone who is into sports is welcome to become a member of the Sports Club and participate in any of the organised events!

Before you enter the gym, you must read and comply with regulations for use as well as sign the Safety Regulation sheet in the entrance hall. Please note that you cannot enter the premises in street wear clothes and shoes.

The Small Hall of the Sports Club is not available to students without the presence of a coach.

The Large Hall of the Sports Club is available to students only when no other study classes or training classes are being held (schedules are available on the information board in the entrance hall). Please apply in advance for training on Saturdays from 12:00 until 14:00 by e-mailing sportsrsu[pnkts]lv.

If you are interested in organising an individual or team sport, and compete in interdepartmental competitions, please e-mail Signija Ņedaškovska: signija[pnkts]nedaskovskarsu[pnkts]lv
