Vitaal @ Work is Erasmus Sport's vitality program, developed for all employees of Erasmus University Rotterdam. The program is a collaboration with EZsports and is sponsored by Zilveren Kruis. Participation is free of charge for employees and is funded by Erasmus University, but a valid sports pass is required for some Vitaal Intensive sessions.
With the No Sweat Workout a personal trainer comes to the workplace to lead employees in group exercise sessions. In groups of 3 to 10 colleagues, EUR employees participate in accessible 20-minute sessions each week. The workouts consist of light exercises that improve posture, activate muscles, and promote mobility. Because the intensity is low, the workout can be performed in regular work clothes.
Each session is tailored to the wishes and needs of the group. In addition, participants receive specific exercises and practical tips so that they can continue working on their vitality outside of the sessions. The goal is to create more insight and encourage mindful choices for a healthier lifestyle.
The No Sweat Workout is now firmly established on campus, with more than 70 weekly vitality groups. People working from home can also participate via the hybrid version, where they log in online and follow the session remotely.
Within the Vitaal @ Workvitality program, in addition to the accessible No Sweat Workout there are also Sweat Guaranteed sessions. These more intensive workouts are similar to small group training and are aimed at employees who want more of a challenge in their workout.
The Sweat Guaranteed sessions take place at fixed times in the PT Studio in Sports Building:

Tuesday 10.00: – open to all employees
Tuesday 17.00: – Access only with a valid sports pass, registration via the Erasmus Sport app
