Over 150 folk trainers conduct free classes for Vologda residents

For the second year in a row, the People’s Trainer project has been implemented in the Vologda Oblast. Thanks to this program, residents of the region, together with experienced mentors, regularly go in for sports on a gratuitous basis.

Trainings are held in all regions of the Vologda region and include a variety of activities. So, for example, Nordic walking is especially popular in Cherepovets, the rules of which are taught by several specialists at once. At the same time, according to experts, such classes can be compared with going to the gym.

In the regional capital, the older generation also actively joins the collective Nordic walking and general physical training, but the children are more fond of playing activity. No less interested in the project are the residents of Kharovsk, who go in for sports at the stadium or the gym.

Recall that the program “People’s Trainer” was launched on the initiative of the Governor Oleg Kuvshinnikov. Last year, it managed to attract 134 mentors and over five thousand participants. This year, the number of trainers has exceeded 150 people, and the number of interested Vologda residents continues to grow.

According to statistics, residents of the Vologda region are beginning to play sports more actively. For example, in 2020, the number of Vologda residents regularly involved in physical activity was 37.8%. And in 2021, this indicator became equal to 47.8%.
