BALANS: the fitness menu for University of Groningen

---

BALANS is the lifestyle programme of the Health, Safety and Environment Service at the University of Groningen. It is aimed at all staff of the University (with the exception of Medical Sciences) who consider a healthy lifestyle important and who would like to take concrete steps to make improvements.

The programme comprises a range of activities, mainly in the area of physical activity, healthy eating and relaxation. These include sample lessons, introductory courses and individual consultations. Use the menu on the left to see what is on offer. 

The BALANS website contains links to other websites containing additional information. We apologize for the fact that these are in Dutch and many do not offer an English version. 

All activities are voluntary. Through the BALANS programme, the University hopes that staff will discover how to reap countless benefits by making a small investment in their health. This is why many activities take the form of introductory lessons. After an orientation course or meeting, participants can decide for themselves whether or not to continue. 

As an employer, the University of Groningen is seeking through BALANS to promote a healthy lifestyle for its employees. You should regard at the BALANS programme as a great fringe benefit!
