Community movers

Community mover schedule

Community movers offer a variety of no-cost activities both in- and outdoors. There are a number of locations, and activities include direction at outdoor gyms, organized walks, yard games, and different kinds of in- and outdoor exercise sessions.

These groups do not require enrolment and you can join in mid-season. Outdoor activities are cancelled when it rains, but a light drizzle won’t stop us.

Upcoming schedules are posted on this page a week ahead of time. Last minute changes are also announced on Facebook (facebook.com/vantaaliikuntaa).

The spring schedule lasts until 26.4.

Become a community mover!

The goal of the community movers is that in the future, regional fitness activities could also be organized by local peer instructors. We’re looking for peer instructors who will work to get members of their own community involved in low-threshold physical activity. You can even become a peer instructor together with a friend.

Volunteers do not need any particular experience and we will provide the necessary orientation and equipment. The most important thing is your interest in fostering community fitness.

Self-guided groups are updated here: Peer activities and self-guided physical exercise | Vantaa. Find a suitable group or leave a request for a new one!

For more information on volunteer activity, contact the project coordinators.
