Physical activity for the elderly and special groups
The municipality’s sports services organize guided exercise for the elderly and special groups mainly in the municipality’s main towns. Information about the guided exercise at Tervakoski swimming pool can be found on the swimming pool’s website.
The guided exercise groups for the elderly and special exercise groups are best suited for people aged 65+ and for men and women who benefit from adapted exercise variations and still live independently in their own homes and manage daily life without strong assistive devices. In particular, gym training successfully implements adaptations based on clients’ fitness levels, but easier versions of the more challenging movements are also provided in fitness and chair exercises.

Elderly exercise counseling
Exercise counseling is intended for individuals who are concerned about their own physical condition and/or need assistive devices for mobility. The purpose of exercise counseling is to motivate the elderly to increase their everyday activity at home, encourage regular exercise, entice them to join low-threshold exercise groups, and to go outdoors.
Elderly exercise counseling is mainly conducted in groups, through various lectures and trial periods for exercise types (1-3 times)
Exercise counseling for the 2025 – 2026 season; will be published in autumn 2025
Exercise counseling for special groups and disabled sports
Advice on exercise locations and activity tips can be obtained from the special exercise instructor.
