Physical activity for seniors and special groups
The municipality’s sports services organize supervised exercise for older people and special groups mainly in the municipality’s main population centers. Information about the supervised exercise held at the Tervakoski swimming hall can be found on the swimming hall pages.
The sports services’ supervised exercise groups for older people and special exercise groups are best suited for people aged 65+ and for men and women who benefit from adapted movement variations in special exercise, who still live independently in their own homes and manage daily life without strong assistive devices. In particular, gym training enables adaptations based on clients’ fitness levels, and lighter versions of the most challenging movements are also offered in fitness and chair exercise classes.

Exercise guidance for older people
Exercise counselling is intended for people who are concerned about their own physical endurance and/or need an assistive device for mobility. The purpose of exercise counselling is to motivate older people to increase everyday physical activity at home, encourage regular exercise, attract participation in low-threshold exercise groups and to get outdoors.
Exercise counselling for older people is implemented mainly in groups, as various talks and trial periods for sports (1-3 times)
Exercise counselling for special groups and disability exercise
You can get advice about exercise venues and hobby tips from the special exercise instructor.
