New gym in central Vaasa from 1 August 2026
Join before the expansion and lock in the current price
Wasa Up is expanding in summer 2026 into an even more versatile sports centre. A new gym, a new quieter yoga and multipurpose studio will open on the second floor, and a new HYROX-inspired training area will be built downstairs.
In the future, one membership lets you train at the gym, climb, train on OCR and HYROX courses, join group classes and do functional training under the same roof.
When you join before 1 August 2026, you get the membership at the old price. The price stays the same for as long as your membership continues without interruption. Only a limited number of memberships are available at the old price.
One membership. Many ways to train.
Wasa Up is not just a new gym. It is a sports centre in central Vaasa where you can combine strength training, endurance, climbing, OCR, HYROX, mobility and group training into the same training week.
The membership includes:
- a new gym on the second floor
- bouldering, rope climbing, auto-belay climbing and classes
- OCR training and classes
- group training
- HYROX training and classes
- a new quieter yoga and multipurpose studio
- open every day from 05.00 to 23.45 with a member key
This is for you if you want to train in many different ways in one place, without needing a separate gym membership elsewhere.
Why join before 1 August?
The new gym increases the value of a Wasa Up membership. That is why prices for new memberships will rise when the gym opens. If you join before 1 August 2026, you still get the membership at the current price.
| Membership | Price before 1 August 2026 | Price after the expansion |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly membership, adult | 59.90 €/month | 64.90 €/month |
| Annual membership, adult | 49.90 €/month | 54.90 €/month |
The old price stays locked in for as long as your membership continues without interruption.

What does the new gym bring to Wasa Up?
The gym complements Wasa Up’s current services and is built to support both traditional strength training and more functional training. You can train basic strength, free weights, cable movements, bodyweight training, warm-ups, endurance and supporting exercises for our other sports.
A new quieter yoga and multipurpose studio will also open on the second floor. Downstairs, the current studio will become a HYROX training area, and the storage space will be turned into a new training area.
Who is a Wasa Up membership for?
For you, if you are looking for a gym in Vaasa
If you are looking for a gym in central Vaasa, Wasa Up offers more than just a gym. In addition to gym training, you get climbing, OCR, HYROX, group training and functional training under the same roof.
For you, if you want training to be varied and fun
Wasa Up is for you if you want to train long term without your training starting to feel one-sided. During the week, you can combine gym training, climbing, a mobility class and OCR or HYROX training, for example.
Varied and functional training makes exercise meaningful: sometimes you develop strength, sometimes endurance, mobility, coordination and body control. When training stays varied and fun, it is easier to stick to your routine in the long run and keep your body feeling good.
For you, if you currently have two different memberships
If you visit Wasa Up now and then for climbing or OCR training, but have a gym membership elsewhere, the new all-round package can replace two separate memberships with one.
For families and couples
Almost half of our members are families! Wasa Up’s services are also a great fit for households where different people like to move in different ways. One person can go to the gym, another can climb, a child can join Spider or Ninja School, and the whole family can exercise in the same place. Explore our family membership!

For current members: your membership gets better, your price stays the same
If you are already a Wasa Up member, your membership gets better without a price increase. Current members’ monthly fees will not change, as long as the membership continues without interruption. If you are currently a monthly member and want to switch to an annual membership at the old price, it is worth doing this before 1 August 2026.
The current annual membership price is 49.90 €/month. After the expansion, the price for a new annual membership will be 54.90 €/month. The notice period for an annual membership is 1 calendar month after the first membership year. In other words, if you have already been a monthly member for a full year, the notice period for the annual membership is only 1 calendar month.
