RSC collaboration partners Ysveld Fysio and Die Eet & Sport, offer combined lifestyle intervention (CLI) within the Gymnasion. This program is not included in the RSC membership but is reimbursed by Dutch health insurance companies.
What is CLI?
Combined lifestyle intervention (CLI) is a program for people who are overweight or obese. Within the two-year CLI trajectory, under the guidance of several specialists, they will work on a healthier lifestyle. This includes how you can improve your exercise, eating and sleeping behavior. CLI contributes to your vitality and has a positive effect on chronic conditions such as diabetes, osteoarthritis and cardiovascular diseases.
What does a CLI trajectory include?
The two-year CLI trajectory consists of several appointments ranging from 25 to 50 minutes and includes:
- Extensive intake with a lifestyle coach to determine your goals and map out your health profile.
- Support and a personal exercise plan from a physiotherapist.
- Guidance from dietician Anneslies van den Hoven from Die Eet & Sport.
- Various conversations with the lifestyle coach, both individually and in groups.
- Group meetings given by a lifestyle coach, physiotherapist or dietician about exercise, injury prevention, healthy nutrition and behavioural change.
- Together with a coach, you will look for exercise options that suit you.
