Three times a week, employees of the UT with (occupational) complaints participate in the Medical fitness program at the Sports Centre. On fixed days and times, there is a physical therapist present for guidance. Employees who wish to make use of this option can make an appointment for an intake.

More information about medical fitness? Check our webpage for fitness. 

In 2022 we can physically organize the lifestyle check again and we also start physical measurements. Every week there are ten places available to schedule an appointment throughout the year.

With the lifestyle checks, any health risk can be identified at an early stage. When participating, it is good to know that it is a snapshot; the lifestyle check identifies health problems or risks at that moment, but has no predictive value about your health in the future.

Lifestyle coaching program

During a 6 to 12 month program  a lifestyle coach from Topvorm Twente will guide you. In this program you will work on your personal lifestyle goals. This may include physical activity, dealing with stress, nutrition, relaxation, breathing techniques and sleep. 

Prior to starting the lifestyle program it is recommended that you sign up for a lifestyle check. During the lifestyle check, various biometric measurements are performed. Based on the results and the pre-completed questionnaires, your goals are determined together with the lifestyle coach. If desirable, you can request our lifestyle coaching program for help in reaching these goals. 

Have you already had a lifestyle check and would you like to participate in the lifestyle program? Please contact info@topvormtwente.nl for more information.

Lifestyle coaching in the gym

Do you want to work on your lifestyle and exercise more, but do you need some help with this? Then sign up for an intake with the lifestyle coach. The lifestyle coach can help you on your way to exercise and at the same time offer some guidance to improve your lifestyle.

For more information you can contact the lifestyle coaches of Topvorm Twente via info@topvormtwente.nl
