Loimaa City Sports Services offers free sports advice to Loimaa residents of all ages.

If it’s difficult to start exercising or you haven’t found the right form of exercise for you, exercise advice can help you get started. The free exercise advice service provides you with personalised support and tools to promote your health.

The starting point for physical activity counselling is the client’s own interests and opportunities for increasing physical activity. At the beginning of the physical activity counselling process, a plan is drawn up together with the aim of increasing everyday activity and a physical lifestyle.

Who is physical activity advice suitable for?

Physical activity advice is for everyone; young people, people of working age and older people who do too little exercise for their health and well-being, need motivation and feel they need tips and support to find their physical activity spark.

How do I get to the sports advice centre?

Together we will assess your situation and come up with a plan for you to start exercising.

Progress of the physical activity advice

1. Contacting the Physical Activity Counselling Centre, either on your own or by referral from a wellbeing area.
2. Initial assessment and assessment of service needs: fill in a pre-assessment form and consider the objectives together.
3. Physical activity counselling meetings: plan making, measurements and testing, and exercise trials with the physical activity counsellor.
4. Self-activity period and final meeting: during the process, there will be self-activity periods, with the support of a physical activity advisor throughout the process.
5. End of contract: at the final meeting, a feedback form is filled in and changes are monitored.

The aim of the counselling is that by the end of it, the client has made exercise part of their everyday life and has found a way of moving that suits them and that they enjoy. The total duration of the counselling is about 3-12 months. Initially, clients will be supported with free visits to exercise groups, swimming or gyms run by the sports services.
