Sports counselling

People who take little exercise often have health problems that affect not only their ability to work and functional capacity but also their quality of life. Depending on the customer's individual needs, motivation and initial situation, the objective of sports counselling is to find ways to promote the customer's well-being.

The sports counsellor can provide guidance and tips for starting physical activity and tell the customer about sports facilities and instructor-led groups. Sports counselling is free of charge.

 For families with young children

Families with young children often need help with finding suitable sports activities or encouraging the family to be more active. The counselling helps families to find suitable options for physical activity, provides them with information on well-being, and offers concrete tips for starting to exercise.

For young people

Many opportunities for physical and recreational activities are available for young people. The sports counsellor can tell them about everything Tampere has to offer for young people.

Looking for a pastime? What can you do in Tampere? Do you have an idea about a recreational activity but you do not know how and where you could do it? Our Harrastava Tampere (Tampere of pastimes) service can help you with these questions. The service is intended for children, young people and families.

In addition, a wide range of free recreational and sports activities is available for young people.

For working-age people and older persons

The schedules and pressures of work and daily life may sometimes mean that you take less exercise, or none at all, for one reason or another. Even if you once had an active lifestyle, it can become just a beautiful memory, and your intentions of being physically active do not go beyond frail hopes.

Sports counsellors can also help you find solutions for making physical activity part of your daily life and ways in which you could accumulate enough physical activity every day to maintain your health. Sometimes illnesses may also limit your ability for physical activity, but professional sports counsellors can also help solve these problems.

Guidance

Sports counsellors guide you in taking the first steps in the right direction towards a more active lifestyle. The counsellor can give you support and tips for exercise that is suitable for you in terms of your health, and inform you about different possibilities for taking exercise.
