SK Jõusport is Estonia's largest and most varied sports club for the whole family. The club's story begins in 2003, and the non-profit MTÜ Jõusport was founded in 2018.
The club is led by Peeter Aan, a former athlete and lecturer at the Estonian Academy of Security Sciences, who has devoted himself to coaching young people and organising competitions. Together with his wife Janne and their family he has grown Jõusport into a club with six gyms.
We operate in Elva, Rõngu, Puhja, Tartu, Ülenurme and Valga. We offer children, teenagers and adults both general physical preparation and strength training.
“Our aim is to get people moving and living a healthy life, so that they live more years in good health.”

Peeter Aan is a coach with over 30 years of experience in sport and strength training and a former top-level competitor. His sporting background runs from swimming and triathlon to bodybuilding, fitness, powerlifting, service pistol shooting and top-level strongman.
Over his long sporting career Peeter has trained and competed in strongman, powerlifting, bodybuilding, fitness, swimming, triathlon and service pistol shooting. His earlier sporting background also includes athletics, wrestling, boxing, basketball and biathlon.
A long sporting career has also brought several injuries and recoveries from them. His own experience of starting over and returning to a good competitive level has given him valuable knowledge of how to start carefully after an injury or a longer training break, choose the right load and move forward step by step.
Peeter has worked as a coach since 1999 and holds an EKR 5 weightlifting coach qualification.
He is a father of seven and has also coached his own children, who have won several Estonian championship titles in weightlifting and powerlifting.
At 50, Peeter continues to train and compete actively. At IRONMAN 70.3 Tallinn 2026 he swam his team’s 1.9 km leg, and the team placed 12th among about 150 teams.
Tarmo coaches strength and muscle training for everyone from beginners to professional athletes. His areas are bodybuilding, powerlifting, functional training and rehabilitation. He has been coaching since 1997.
Karel has been involved in sport since childhood; before powerlifting he tried judo, football and floorball. He has trained in powerlifting since 2016, competed since 2019 and coached since 2021.
Charlotte has been coaching since the beginning of 2022. Alongside gym training she has experience in basketball, badminton, football, dance and competitive rowing. She keeps adding to her knowledge.
