About the fitness rooms at UiA
The establishment of the fitness rooms is a result of priorities set by the UiA leadership and board to support employees’ self-training and preventive health efforts. Funding for maintenance and replacements is provided by the Division of Human Resources in cooperation with the UiA Sports Club (UiA BIL). The persons responsible for the fitness rooms manage the daily operation and supervision of these rooms, in collaboration with the Campus Services Section.
