Taking pleasure in your work, always being sufficiently challenged, and tackling the job with plenty of gusto and enthusiasm. These are exactly the qualities we value in one another, including new members of staff. It if for this reason that these themes are addressed within the university through various programmes to help staff members to stay fit, enthusiastic and employable.

As a staff member, you can use the VU Fit at work sports programme at the VU Sports Centre, on campus and in Amstelveen, free of charge. Both locations offer many different classes and forms of training, including yoga, broga, kickboxing, badminton, basketball and spinning. Of course there are also excellent facilities for unlimited general fitness (with or without personal supervision).
