The data includes the utilization information of outdoor gym devices in Hietaniemi, Paloheinä and Pirkkola (in Helsinki) outdoor gyms from the years 2021-2025. The data is no longer updated.

The utilization rate of the devices is measured with separate motion sensors once a minute. The data is transferred in almost real time to the service provider's system, from where it is retrieved a few times an hour to the cache. From cache, data is aggregated into 1-hour intervals into CSV and JSON files.

Both formats contain fields listed below:

  • utcdate: start time of the time period
  • area: the name of the sports venue
  • groupId: type of gym equipment
  • trackableId: the name of gym equipment
  • sets: number of sets performed in the selected time interval (hour/day)
  • usageMinutes: usage minutes in the selected interval (hour/day)
  • repetitions: the number of repetitions made in the selected time interval (hour/day)

The data is produced in an experiment of Culture and leisure division of the City of Helsinki.
