Exercise counselling
Exercise counselling free of charge
Exercise counselling is a personal service intended especially for you if you feel that you do not get enough exercise to properly maintain a good health. The service is free of charge.
Applied exercise counselling is a service suited for you if you need applied physical activity due to a disability, illness or other limitation of functional capacity.
Family exercise counselling will be introduced later in 2026.
Do you want to start exercising, but need support in including it in your everyday life? Exercise counselling is a personal service intended especially for you if you feel that you do not get enough exercise to properly maintain a good health. The service is free of charge. Through the service, you will receive help from a sports professional. The aim is not only to draw up a plan but, above all, to help you find a way of keeping physically active that suits you and becomes a permanent part of your life.
How does exercise counselling work?
During the first meeting, you will review your current situation together with the counsellor and set clear goals. With a professional, you will prepare an exercise plan that suits your situation. After this, you will get support for implementing the exercise plan with follow-up calls. This will give you a good grip on a more active lifestyle.
Applied exercise counselling and a wristband benefit
We will be developing and testing the process of applied exercise counselling in 2026. If you need applied physical activity due to, for example, a disability, illness or other impairment of functional capacity, you can register for applied exercise counselling. By committing to the counselling process, you can get the right to purchase the Special exercise wristband and/or the Special swimming wristband.

Personal applied exercise counselling
Applied exercise counselling provides support to those whose physical activity requires personalised solutions due to, for example, an illness, disability or other impairment of functional capacity, and who do not get enough exercise to properly maintain their health. The physical activity counselling process includes an initial meeting and a final meeting and 1 to 5 follow-up calls according to need.
By committing to the exercise counselling process, a person belonging to the target group can be granted the right to purchase a Special exercise wristband or a Special swimming wristband. The service has taken into account those who have fallen from the scope of the wristband benefit as we are restructuring the swimming and gym wristbands for special groups. These people will be provided with applied exercise counselling and an opportunity to purchase a wristband.
