Sport Start · free · 6 weeks
Find a sport that sticks in six weeks
You want to exercise, but don't know what or where. I'm Spot, and I'll take you through it: one sport to try each week, with real classes in Groningen at times that suit you. You tell me how it went, and I adjust your plan.
Start with 7 short questionsTakes 2 minutes. After that you choose whether to take part.
This is how it works
Week 1–3
Try
One sport each week that fits what you're looking for, with beginners' classes and trial classes at times you can make. You go once. That's all it takes.
Week 4
Choose
You now know what you enjoyed. You choose the sport you want to do more often. Didn't work out? Then you get new suggestions, without the ones that didn't fit.
Week 5–6
Keep going
The same sport, on a fixed day and time. At the end you know whether you want to join the club or take out a subscription.
What you get each week

Example. Your own email contains classes at your times and in your area.
Questions
What does Sportstart cost?
Nothing. You only pay what a trial class or class itself costs, and you see that in advance. Many trial classes are free.
Do I have to join somewhere?
No. You try first. Only at the end do you decide whether to join, and with whom.
What if I can't go one week?
Then you get the same sport again the following week. No one will hold you to it.
How does Sportspots know which classes there are?
We keep track of the timetables of hundreds of clubs and studios in Groningen, from their own websites. From these we select beginners' classes and trial classes at your times.
I have an injury or a condition, can I still take part?
If you're unsure whether a sport is good for you, first check with your GP or physiotherapist. We don't ask about this and don't give medical advice.
How do I stop?
There is a link under every email. One click and you won't receive anything more. On your own page you can also delete all your details straight away.
