CooL programme

The CooL programme helps you work step by step towards a lifestyle that suits you. Not with temporary solutions, but with a focus on lasting change. Together with a lifestyle coach, you’ll work towards goals that are important to you. For example, getting fitter, losing weight, sleeping better, having more energy or finding more balance in your daily life.

GLI programme
The CooL programme is one of the recognised programmes within the Combined Lifestyle Intervention (GLI). A GLI is a programme that supports people in developing and maintaining a healthier lifestyle in order to reduce excess weight or minimise health risks.
Within a GLI, various lifestyle themes are addressed. These include diet, exercise, behaviour, sleep, relaxation, relapse and sustainable behavioural change. The aim is not only to live more healthily, but above all to sustain these changes in a way that is achievable in everyday life.
A GLI programme always lasts two years and begins with an intake interview. During this interview, we will assess together whether the programme is suitable for your situation, goals and motivation.
What do we offer?
