Stockholms Studenters is a sports association for students that organises weekly sports activities. You can also subscribe to different clubs of your choice if you are specifically interested in one sport, for example running or bouldering. Most clubs and gyms would require a Swedish personal identify number, but for some an ID card/passport will be sufficient, we advise to check the details directly with the club or gym.
