SATS Fitness Membership #
The Swedish Program provides students with a premium membership to the fitness chain SATS at no extra cost. The membership includes access to 60+ gyms in the Stockholm region, including six gyms within walking distance of SSE. See a list of all SATS locations on their website.
The SATS App #
Download the SATS app for iPhone or Android.
You’ll use the SATS app to access your membership card and scan into the gym. The app also allows you to book classes, watch exercise videos, and look up gym locations. Login with your swedishprogram.org email address and your birthday as the password in the format DDMMYYYY. Change your password after logging in the first time.
Norms At the Gym #
Please respect these cultural norms at the gym:
- You must take off your street shoes before entering the fitness area. Always bring a separate, clean pair of indoor shoes to wear while you exercise.
- Bring your own towel and a small padlock to use the lockers. You can buy a padlock from the reception desk at SATS.
- During group classes, instructors (and fellow gym-goers) are typically happy to translate the instructions into English for you. Don’t be afraid to ask!
The Sport Initiative at SSE #
The Sport Initiative at SSE organizes activities, field trips, speakers, and forums in collaboration with SSE’s Center for Sports and Business. Please note that SSE does not have its own fitness or health facilities, as is the norm for Swedish universities.
