Frequently asked questions

Membership

Is there any way I could test your facilities?

You can try out our gyms anytime you like by buying a one-time visit! You’re provided with a day-specific door code, that gets you exercising in no time. The one time can be bought from our web shop: Hukka Xpress AlppilaRotuaariHeinäpää.

If you choose to join Hukka Xpress within 14 days of your visit, the price of 10 € will be compensated to you in your 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 pay-per-month memberships use the e-invoice system and thus require a Finnish personal number and a valid Finnish ID. If you don’t have them and want to join, we suggest our prepaid deals.

30-day satisfaction quarantee

Did the gym not meet your expectations? You always get a 30-day satisfaction guarantee for your fixed-term membership. You can cancel your membership within 30 days of the purchase by filling out this form, and your membership will be terminated immediately. Please note that the subscription fee and monthly fee paid in advance are not refunded.

Where can I view your membership terms?

Our membership terms and conditions are explained on the membership agreement page, where you’re also asked to aknowledge them as you join. You can also view them here.

Membership of a minor

The age limit for Hukka Xpress is 15 years.
We require the guardian’s consent from all minors. The guardian’s information is filled in upon joining.

If the young person does not have their own online banking credentials, you can make the young person’s membership with the guardian’s credentials as well.

Where can I get the membership card?

New member: After joining, you will receive a receipt in your email with a 7-day access code to the centre you have purchased. Your membership card will be available for pick up at the Health Club Hukka (Isokatu 99, 90120 Oulu) after joining. Once you have collected your card, the access code will be deactivated, after which you will only be able to use your membership card to access the gym.

Returning member: Your old membership card will work immediately after you have joined. If you need a new membership card, please visit Liikuntakeskus Hukka (Isokatu 99, 90120) to obtain your free membership card.

Remember to also check your spam folder.

Lost membership card

A lost membership card must be reported to us immediately at info@nullhukkaxpress.net. You cannot train without a membership card.

Lost and found Hukka Xpress membership cards are delivered to Health Club Hukka’s reception (Isokatu 99, 90120).

We charge 5 euros for a new membership card. Check here the effect of the loyalty system that started in 2023.

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 using this form. As proof, you can 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.

Pausing of membership

In principle, Hukka Xpress memberships cannot be paused. A pause due to pregnancy, military service, serious illness or sick leave lasting more than 14 days is nevertheless possible. You can request suspension of membership by filling out this form.

Check here the effect of the loyalty system that started in 2023 to your advantage.

How can I cancel the membership?

You can change, update or cancel your membership with this form.

Failure to pay the invoice does not replace the membership termination notice and does not remove the obligation to pay. To terminate membership, a written notice of termination is always required using the form linked above.

Please remember that the Hukka Xpress membership has a notice period of one calendar month. Membership terminated this month will therefore expire at the end of the next month.

Billing and membership fees

Joining with sport vouchers (Smartum, e-Passi, etc.)

You can pay for your membership using special payment methods directly in the online shop if:

1. You have a Smartum Saldo or ePassi
2. And your balance is sufficient to cover both the joining fee and the first month’s membership fee / annual membership

If you use another special payment method or if your balance is not sufficient to cover the first payment in full, pay for the membership and the first month of training first. After joining you can deposit special payments to your account to cover future payments. Please note that the processing time for sports vouchers is two weeks.

Smartum, Sportpass/ePass, Edenred balances, as well as Smartum sports/culture vouchers, Power vouchers and Tyky vouchers are all eligible for Hukka Xpress.

After joining successfully, you can use the sports benefits to make payments towards your future membership fees. Read more on the question below.

Billing
