Exercise counseling

Exercise counseling is aimed at people over the age of 16 who are starting exercise and lifestyle changes, or struggling with weight control, who do not have an illness that requires acute treatment or rehabilitation. There is no upper age limit for exercise counseling, so don't hesitate to contact us.

In exercise counseling, you can talk to an exercise counselor about starting to exercise and think about different ways to increase activity in your everyday life. In addition to exercise, if necessary, we can also focus on weight management, nutrition and sleep issues. Exercise counseling is a low-threshold service and we use the UKK Institute's health exercise recommendations as a basis. The goal is to provide help and support for starting an active lifestyle. The consultation is free of charge for you, except for the body composition measurement.

Exercise counseling is always individual and tailored to the client's own needs, so the number or duration of appointments cannot be precisely defined in advance. Most of the time, the process takes 6–12 months and includes an initial and final meeting and contacts in between.

You can contact yourself if you are worried about your own well-being or immobility. If necessary, you can also be referred to exercise counseling through a healthcare professional.

  • Fitness tests can be done for you who are starting a lifestyle change. Fitness tests include balance, muscle fitness and mobility tests.

  • The gym program and guidance is intended for you who have no previous gym training background or it has been several years since your last visit to the gym. If you don't want to work out in a gym, we can make you a home gym program that you can review together before starting the workout.

  • Body composition measurement gives a comprehensive report on your body composition, including the amount of muscle and fat mass, fat around internal organs and fluid balance. We take the measurement with the InBody 770 device, which you stand on with bare feet. The measurement takes less than a minute. Body composition measurement costs €20/time. The measurement is not suitable for you with a pacemaker.
