Frequently asked questions

Membership

Is there any way I could test your facilities?

Our gyms do not have staff on site but you try out Hukka Xpress gyms by purchasing a 10 € one-time visit in our online store. The one-time visit is activated immediately after purchase and is valid for the day of purchase. Check-in to the gym is done via the Hukka Xpress app, which you need to download to your device.

If you choose to join Hukka Xpress within 14 days of your visit, the price of 10 € will be compensated to you in your first billable membership fee after joining.

Remember to bring a padlock with you, if you want to keep your bag in a locked cabinet during your exercise.

Everybody over 15 years of age are welcome to test our facilities!

How to buy a membership?

Hukka Xpress memberships require 15 years of age. All our memberships use the e-invoice system and thus require a Finnish personal number and a valid Finnish ID.

How do I log in to the gym?

Download the Hukka Xpress app from the App Store or Google Play. You can access the gym using the app.

Logging in with the app:
When you arrive at the gym, open your app, tap the orange key icon in the bottom right corner of the home screen, and scan the QR code at the door reader.

If you are an old member and haven’t downloaded the app yet, you need to change your password when first logging in.

If, as a new member, you are unable to use a smartphone and the app, please contact info@nullhukkaxpress.net. The membership card costs 9€, which will be added to your next membership payment. Cards are sent by mail, with a delivery time of approximately 7 business days.

I can’t access the gym

First, make sure you have the Hukka Xpress app and a valid membership for the correct gym. The Liikuntakeskus Hukka app does not work for logging into Hukka Xpress if you have a Hukka Xpress membership.

If you have the correct app and membership, check that your membership fee has been paid. Access to the gym is denied if the membership fee has not been paid within 14 days of the invoice due date. Please note that you will only be able to access the gym once the payment is marked as “paid” in the app or in your account. Depending on the payment method, it may take a few business days for the payment to be registered in our system. The invoice must always be paid using the provided details and reference number; otherwise, the payment will not be registered as completed.

I can’t scan the QR code at the gym door

Make sure you have granted the app permission to use your camera. You can enable camera access by going to your phone’s settings, selecting the Hukka Xpress app, and allowing camera usage.

Where can I view your membership terms?

You can view membership terms and conditions them here. You will also be asked to read and agree to the terms when you join.

Membership of a minor

The age limit for Hukka Xpress is 15 years. We require parental consent from all minors. Please ask your guardian to send us an informal consent to info@nullhukkaxpress.net.

What if I move out of Oulu during my membership?

Hukka Xpress membership can be cancelled before the expiry of the fixed-term contract if you move further than 75 kilometres from the centre of Oulu. The term of notice required is one calendar month. Send your notification complete with appendices via the Hukka Xpress app or by logging in to you Oma tili account. As proof,  present a copy of your notification of change of address to the Local Register Office and Posti, the rental agreement for your flat, or a certificate from your place of employment.

Can I take my child with me to Hukka Xpress?

If your children are over 15 and have their own membership, we welcome them! Hukka Xpress is only intended for people over 15 years old, and the membership is personal, so exercising with children younger than that is not possible in the gym.

If you want to exercise with children, Health Club Hukka membership includes free child care. In addition, 8-14 year olds have their own HukkaJuniori membership.

Freezing of membership

Paid Membership Freeze

As a Hukka Xpress member, you can freeze your membership for a fee of €9 per month for 1 to 3 months at a time. Paid freezes can be used for a maximum of 3 months within a calendar year. The freeze does not affect the free freeze months included in loyal member benefits, and membership fees are not charged during the freeze period. The fee is billed in a single invoice, with the due date on the 5th day of the month following the freeze request. You can easily manage the paid membership freeze yourself through the app or via Oma tili page.

Other Freeze Options

Memberships can also be frozen due to pregnancy, military service, a serious illness, or a medical leave lasting more than 14 days. Please remember to attach the necessary documentation for your freeze request.

Additionally, you can pause your membership using loyalty freeze months included in our customer benefits. Check the latest loyalty benefits here.

You can request a membership freeze directly in the app by going to Profile / My Subscriptions and clicking the three dots next to your active membership. This can also be done via the Oma tili browser version on your personal page under My Subscriptions.

Freezes are always credited toward future membership fees and cannot be applied to outstanding payments or converted into cash.

How can I cancel the membership?

Did you know that if you need a break from training, you can freeze your membership for €9 per month instead of canceling? This way, you won’t lose your loyalty benefits! Freezing your membership is easy to do through the app or via Oma tili page.

If you still wish to cancel your membership, you can do so directly in the app by going to Profile / My Subscriptions and clicking the three dots next to your active membership. This can also be done via the Oma tili browser version on your personal page under My Subscriptions.

Please note that memberships have a one-calendar-month notice period. This means that if you cancel your membership this month, it will end at the end of the following month. If your membership has a fixed-term contract, it will only end once the contract period has expired.

If you have an annual membership that has already passed its fixed term and you want to cancel it before the billing cycle ends, or if you have already received a new annual invoice, please contact info@nullhukkaxpress.net.

Not paying an invoice does not replace a cancellation request or remove payment obligations. A written cancellation request is always required to end a membership.

Billing and membership fees

Paying with sport benfits (Smartum, e-Passi, etc.)

You cannot pay your membership when joining with a sports benefit. This means you must have an active membership to use the sports benefit for payments.

Once you have an active membership, you can make a payment using one of the following methods:

You can complete the payment remotely via your service provider’s app and send us a receipt. We do not accept physical sports benefit vouchers. Follow these steps:

  • Use the search function in the app to find “Hukka Xpress” as the payment location.
  • Enter the desired amount and confirm the payment.
  • Send the payment receipt to info@nullhukkaxpress.net. We will deduct the amount from your next membership fee.

You can use your sports benefit for any amount, and it does not need to be a round sum. Please note that the processing time is 14 days, and using sports benefits requires an active membership. We recommend making payments for multiple months at once.

Billing

E-invoice & monthly billing

When you join as a member, you will automatically receive an e-invoice proposal in your online bank on the next day after joining. Please note that in some banks, the e-invoice proposal is only visible when logging in via a browser. Make sure to accept the proposal in your online bank to activate the monthly payment.

If you do not receive the e-invoice proposal, you can also set up the e-invoice manually by following these steps:

  1. Log in to your online bank and start a new e-invoice agreement.
  2. Search for the biller Hukka Oy or Liikuntakeskus Hukka.
  3. Use your membership number as the identifier – you can find it in the Profile section of the app or in the order confirmation email you received after joining.

If you don’t activate e-invoicing, you will receive future membership fee invoices by email, or you can also pay them via the app or your Oma tili account.

Please note: Access to the gym will be denied if the membership fee is not paid within 14 days of the invoice due date.

Change in billing method

If you wish, you can change your billing to an annual fee or a monthly bill. Contact info@nullhukkaxpress.net.

Debt collection

B2-Impact is responsible for the debt collection of Hukka OY. For inquiries regarding collection invoices, please contact: https://www.b2-impact.fi/yhteystiedot/

Please note that failure to pay the invoice does not replace the membership termination notice and does not remove the obligation to pay.
