Looking after sports facilities and gyms since 1995
SPORTFORMA APS is an Associazione di Promozione Sociale (Social Promotion Association) which, since 1995, has coordinated and looked after sports facilities and gyms for the activities of its members and volunteers. It is not a place but a body. Not a commercial gym with opening and closing times, but an organisation that works like a sporting family, where the most senior veterans act as tutors for young novices and beginners. An experience, an athlete’s attitude to life that is absorbed and handed down. All athletes believe in something that nobody else but themselves can see. Months of dedication, up to 14 hours a day, physically and mentally hard. Preparing the activities and the foundations of this legendary association was like preparing for a competition. With sacrifice and determination, year after year we have sought out settings suited to our needs, where we could share a team spirit that only SPORTFORMA could embody in its wish to keep alive the dream of a lifetime: that of being a champion, an example to others. Many of our members have become points of reference and inspiration for their friends, which is why we have become well known among young people who keep coming back, invited by parents who, in their turn, got to know SPORTFORMA before starting a family.

How to join the activities, in three steps
- Online pre-registration. Fill in the form for your chosen discipline, from the table above or from the cards at the top of this page. It lets us know you are there and helps us organise the groups: it does not commit you to anything and involves no payment.
- Membership application at the office. The office calls you back and arranges an appointment at Via Beggiamo 24 to sign the application, hand in the medical certificate and receive your membership card. If you would rather write to us first, use the contact form.
- Starting the activity. From your first training session you are entrusted to the discipline coordinator and to the more experienced members of the group.

Conduct in the school gyms
The Allievo and Saba gyms are public spaces that we use under a concession: the access rules are not written by us, they are set out in the deed of Circoscrizione 5 (District 5), and access is conditional on complying with them.
Access rules
Entry is allowed only during the granted hours and only when a coach, an officer or an accompanying adult is present. Access is reserved for members taking part in the activity: no spectators and no visitors are allowed. Parents accompany minors to the entrance and wait outside the building.
You enter once the previous group has left the premises. Clean trainers, put on inside the gym. No animals or glass objects may be brought in, and smoking is prohibited throughout the school premises.
At the end of training the gym is left tidy, with equipment back in its place: supervision and cleaning are the responsibility of the association. Damage and faults are reported immediately to the office, which notifies the Circoscrizione.
In an emergency
No Circoscrizione staff are present in the school gyms: an emergency is handled by whoever is there at the time. Stay calm, report the danger immediately and call the emergency services.
Single Emergency Number 112
Municipal Police Operations Centre 011 0111
When ordered to evacuate: do not collect personal belongings, help anyone in difficulty to get outside, follow the escape routes shown on the signs, do not use lifts, do not run, go to the assembly point. Emergency exits and escape routes must always be kept clear, and fire extinguishers and hydrants visible and accessible.
Before the first training session, the person in charge of the activity reads the safety instructions and the evacuation plan posted in the facility.
Coordination of activities and the gym venues
In the gym, as we understand it, people come together to push past their own limits day by day. Personal aims can be very different: from the need to acquire new skills and new attitudes, useful for the most basic goals of the fitness world, such as losing weight and building muscle, to those of the competitive athlete, such as acquiring new technical, motor, reflex and endurance patterns, or even the professional or white-collar worker who wants to unwind and broaden their contacts and their standing.
But our organisation does not follow the logic of a commercial fitness centre, so we do not operate in one single gym with fixed opening and closing times: activities are organised flexibly according to the needs of members and the availability of the facilities, taking into account the needs of the various groups of participants and of the volunteers who are passionate about the discipline and committed to growing the group of which, over time, they have become coordinators. In this way everyone has the opportunity to train and take an active part, contributing to support those activities.
SPORTFORMA APS operates in accordance with Third Sector regulations and promotes sport through collaboration among its members. The spaces we use are not owned by the association, and we use them under two separate arrangements: the premises at Via Beggiamo 24 are granted on a free loan for use (comodato), while the gyms of the Allievo and Saba schools are spaces belonging to the City of Turin that we use under a concession from Circoscrizione 5, season by season. To take part in the classes at the respective facilities, membership is compulsory, and members are asked to express their interest promptly, to make it easier to organise activities and to make the best use of costs and spaces.
For all information on affiliations, please do not go directly to the concession gyms, which are used exclusively for scheduled activities and are not accessible for personal use, but contact the affiliations office of the SPORTFORMA secretariat at the headquarters.
