Staying fit during COVID-19 with Hans Van Alphen
At EY we strongly believe that a healthy body leads to a healthy mind.
Yeah we know, gyms and exercise venues have closed to help stem the spread of the coronavirus.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t work out! And who better to help us out, then our EY In Motion coach Hans Van Alphen?
Exclusively for EY, he made the EY@Home workouts, accessible to everyone. The only thing you need is motivation,
dedication and enthusiasm.
Let’s go!
