GFH in English

GFH (Gymnastikföreningen i Helsingfors) is a Swedish-speaking gymnastics club focusing on Keep Fit exercise classes, fun gymnastics for children and dance classes for different age groups.

Our mission is to offer various forms of gymnastics and dance in Helsinki. For our activities, we use school gyms within the Helsinki region leased by the city of Helsinki. Read more about our groups under Verksamhet (in Swedish).

In 2023, the GFH was awarded the title Gymnastics Club of the year by FSG (Finland’s Swedish Gymnastics Union), for our efforts of developing and increasing our activities. We are grateful for all the work our coordinator and dance instructor Ella Enqvist has done for developing our club’s dance classes and the children’s groups.

Since the start in 1876, the GFH has actively participated in various gymnastics festivals. At the World Gymnaestrada in Amsterdam 2023 GFH was represented by dancers from the groups Ellis and Isadora, and by gymnasts from our mixed Keep Fit group. At the FSG Festival in Hanko last summer, the GFH had 130 active participants. GFH gymnasts and dancers, children and adults, took part in several large group performances, evening shows and city performances. Also in 2024, the mixed group Still Going Strong participated in the Golden Age Gym Festival in Burgas, Bulgaria.
