For the use of the gym you have to book the Ilmotion Card.

95 €/semester for members of staff

Induction to the gym from the 2026/2027 winter semester onwards

The university gym is used by students and staff independently, without constant supervision by trainers in the training area. As the gym is used independently, a compulsory induction is required before training begins.

The aim is to ensure that all students and staff, before using the gym for the first time,

  • are familiar with the applicable rules of use and house regulations,
  • are aware of and comply with the access requirements,
  • have mastered the basic safety rules,
  • understand the essential principles of strength training,
  • are able to use equipment and perform exercises safely and appropriately,
  • know how to respond in the event of discomfort, injury or technical problems.
 

The induction is designed to prepare you for safe and independent training. It does not constitute individual training advice, medical advice or ongoing training supervision.

Please note: Existing users must also attend the gym induction during the 2026/2027 winter semester. This is valid for a further three semesters and users can provide proof of attendance beyond this period by presenting their attendance documentation.
