For more information on exercise group registrations, see the page Applying for a place in exercise groups.
Exercise groups without long-term commitment
If commitment to the whole autumn season does not feel right, one-off sports classes are also available such as water sports groups at the swimming hall. You do not need to register for the free walking groups led by our exercise buddies. You can join any time you like. For example, you can get to know local nature with exercise buddies on the “Let’s go to nature” (in Finnish: “Mennään luontoon”) excursions or, if you are interested in the gym, the buddies can help you there at an affordable price. If you find it difficult to leave your home, you can also join online training, announced on a weekly basis. You can participate sitting on your sofa.

Support for starting exercise
In addition to versatile group exercise classes, the courses offered include various kinds of start-up courses. You will get tips and guidance for physical activity based on your condition. The selection also includes inspiring health lectures for learning about different sporting activities and finding your personal favourite. If you have questions about starting training, you can find support in the free sports counselling service. You get personal advice on the exercise opportunities offered by the City of Tampere. Sports counselling is for everyone: families with young children, young people, people of working age – anyone who feels that they need tips and support for finding the spark for exercise.
