Movement that brings people together

There used to be a myth that exercise at Hyundai was mandatory. It was never true. We are a modern company that takes a more comprehensive, natural and voluntary approach to employee health.
Taking care of one’s health has become part of everyday life for many of our colleagues, and we aim to support them in this.
Just take a look inside our Health Centre.

It plays an important role in how we care for our people. It helps prevent musculoskeletal issues, relieve pain, and support recovery after injuries. Colleagues come here with back or joint problems, but also simply to learn how to take better care of their bodies.

They can take advantage of individual physiotherapy, targeted exercise programs, and modern treatments such as electrotherapy or magnetotherapy.

Everyone can find their way to move

The Health Centre also includes a modern fitness area and a wide range of classes. There is something for everyone, from beginners to experienced athletes, from strength training and circuit workouts to boxing and yoga.

Yoga is one of the most popular activities, especially in summer when it takes on a completely different atmosphere.

Morning sessions on the rooftop under the open sky, filled with the first rays of sunlight, help us start the day in the best possible way.

Those who prefer team energy can join activities such as badminton, volleyball or foot tennis.

A healthy lifestyle is not just about movement. Employees can also meet with a nutrition specialist and receive a personalized meal plan based on a body composition analysis using an InBody device.

And when the gym is not enough, we head outside.

A hike where it is not about records

Hiking has become a firm favorite among our colleagues. Our trainer Richard, a big fan of the mountains, regularly organizes hikes to Lysá hora.

It is not a race and it is not about being the first at the top. Everyone goes at their own pace, and the real reward is the time spent together.

Of course, there are always a few who turn the climb into a proper sporting challenge.

We often meet them on their way down while the rest are still making their way up 😊.

A little push goes a long way

Movement challenges are also very popular. People push themselves, but more importantly, they enjoy it together and support each other.

Some challenges focus purely on performance or number of repetitions. Others have a deeper meaning and help support a good cause.

The plank that tests both body and mind

In February 2026, our employees had the chance to see how long they could hold a plank. It is a true test of core strength and mental endurance.

We have held this challenge before and saw some impressive results, with people holding on for several minutes. It showed that consistent training really pays off.

This time, the results exceeded expectations. An incredible 26 minutes.

Jump rope challenge

The jump rope challenge proved that even a simple activity can bring great enthusiasm. Over the course of one month, a total of 36,429 jumps were completed.

The top performer was Michal Misiarz from the Quality department, who achieved 5,314 jumps in a month and also recorded the best five minute performance with 730 jumps.

Movement that helps

For us, sport is not just about better fitness. It is also about solidarity and supporting one another.

Some of our challenges are connected to helping the families of employees who are going through difficult times.

Last year, thanks to the Czechoslovak Sports Challenge, where the goal was to collect as many kilometers as possible, we raised 57,438 CZK for little Kubík, who is on the autism spectrum. Our sister plant Kia in Žilina also joined, and together we covered 114,434 kilometers over 92 days.

This year, we have set ourselves an even more ambitious goal, a symbolic journey to the Moon. We still have 133,679 kilometers to go.

This time, the challenge will support six year old Rebeka, who is on the autism spectrum and does not speak.

Movement here is not about being the best. It is about feeling good, spending time with colleagues, enjoying small victories, and sometimes helping where it is truly needed.
