Sports Consultation

Sports consultation

Sports consultation is a free service for students and staff members of Tampere Universities and is meant to help customers who are too inactive for their health to achieve a more active lifestyle. If you don't have any health obstacles preventing you from exercising but you need some personal guidance to get started, sports consultation is a suitable option. Sports consultation is especially aimed at those who are motivated to find a more active lifestyle but need personal help getting started.

What does sports consultation include?

Sports consultation includes a personal initial and final meeting and together agreed number of meetings between with SportUni’s Sport Coordinator, either online or face-to-face.

Please note that the sports consultation doesn’t provide instructions for rehabilitating injuries. Please also note that the sports consultation doesn’t give any personal exercise programs, for example for the gym. If you want a personal gym program and guidance for the gym, you can use the gym instruction for beginners or personal training service.

How do I prepare for sports consultation?

After booking, you will receive a background information form in your email, which must be completed before the appointment. Before the appointment you can also think about your own wishes and goals, what you want to discuss, and what kind of advice you are looking for.

Does it cost something?

Sports consultation is free of charge for students and staff of Tampere universities. You don’t need to be a SportUni member to participate in sports consultation meetings, but if you want to continue using SportUni’s other services on your own time, the sports fee must be paid.

Would you prefer support from group sports consultation instead of individual sports consultation?

Group sports consultation is organized twice a year for Tampere Universities students. In the free group consultation, we move, connect and boost the study skills together. The next groups will take place in spring 2026 on the Hervanta and City centre campuses. News about the groups will be published on the SportUni website. You can read the previous news here. For more information, please contact sportuni@tuni.fi.
