AU Motion Moves to New Premises by the University City
AU's staff fitness centre, AU Motion, moves to new premises on Trøjborgvej, right next to the University City, after the summer holidays.
AU Motion
AU Motion is a fitness offer for all current and retired staff at Aarhus University, with an optional fitness buddy.
The centre is run by volunteers. Membership costs DKK 125 per month.
AU Motion both offers a gym with exercise equipment as well as classes in spinning, spine health, cardio and strength training and Iyengar yoga, among other things. In addition, courts can be booked for badminton, futsal, floorball or volleyball.
When Aarhus University's exercise club for current and retired staff, AU Motion, moved from Katrinebjerg to Paludan Müllers Vej in 2022, it cost the club several hundred members. The reason for this was that many felt that the location at Vestereng in the northern part of Aarhus was too far away from AU's locations around the University Park, the Nobel park and Katrinebjerg.
Therefore, the association has been talking with AU for a long time about finding a new location for the fitness centre. They have now succeeded.
“Aarhus University has long wished for AU Motion to have a location closer to campus. We have succeeded, and the plan is for AU Motion to move from our current exercise location in Vestereng to Trøjborgvej in buildings 1916 and 1914 in the summer of 2026," AU Motion writes on its website.
Helle Nielsen, a member of the AU Motion board, confirms that the plan is for AU Motion to move to new premises near the University City after the summer holidays. She goes on to say that the association is working on offering the same classes and exercise equipment as it does now, but that the details must be finalised before the association can make a final announcement about the specific facilities that will be available at the centre after the move.
