VU in Motion
Whats VU in Motion?
VU in Motion is the free exercise/sport program for VU University employees. This program is made possible by the CvB, local unions and the Works Council and is organized by the VU sports center.
The program has been a huge success for more than 10 years!
You can visit the two locations, Uilenstede and at the VU Campus OZW building. Here you can work out, take group classes and count on professional guidance.
As a VU employee, you can take advantage of this free sports program. To make use of this you do the following:
- Create an account through the: Athletes Portal, use your VU email address to do so.
- Send your VU contract to: info@sportcentrumvu.nl and mention that you would like to receive a VU in Motion subscription.
- Once the subscription is granted come to one of the Sports Centers to arrange physical access (finger scan or QR code).
Important to know:
- ACTA and VUmc employees cannot claim the free VU in Motion program. This is because these organizations do not contribute to the VU benefits funds.
- PhD students and post-docs who work at VU on the basis of a scholarship, or are paid through another institution, cannot claim the VU in Motion program. They can participate in the sports program at the student rate.
Exercise advice
It is possible to have a customized exercise advice and/or a training schedule, so that you can exercise in a targeted manner. You will then undergo a fitness test, after which the professional sports instructors will give you advice. You can make an appointment for this when registering at the counter.
Lifestyle advice
Exercise is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, in which relaxation, sleep, nutrition and mindset are also important pillars. Get your lifestyle in motion and experience where self-care can benefit from more vitality. You can do an intake twice a year to see where you can optimize your life for more energy and a fitter body and mind. Interested, make an appointment with our collegue Mariëlle.
