For whom?
For 25–64-year-old Kuopio residents whose physical activity is low and who need help in changing their habits.
How?
The counsellors are professional sport coordinators employed by the City of Kuopio. First, the counsellors map out your physical activity and health habits. In addition to physical activity, attention is paid to your eating habits and life management. The aim of physical activity counselling is to help you permanently adopt a more physically active lifestyle. The counselling service requires 12 months commitment.
Remote counselling
Physical activity counselling can also be provided remotely via a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Contact our sports instructors for more information!
Online well-being coaching
The Hyvinvointia elämäntavoilla (Well-being through lifestyle choices) website (in Finnish) contains free self-care programmes for well-being promotion that help you change your lifestyle. You can start the online coaching programmes independently or at a professional’s initiative.
