Gym introductions and facility tours
Our team are delivering gym introductions and facility tours across the opening week of the new semester for all students.

The facility tours will give you a chance to see all of our fantastic sports facilities and an opportunity to ask questions about all things sport, health and wellbeing at the University.
Gym introductions and facility tours can be booked via the app, online portal or at reception.

Our facilities
Following a £20m makeover and introduction of a brand new leisure management system, our sports facilities are some of the best you’ll find. Our fitness suite has been kitted out with the latest Technogym equipment and over 100+ stations whilst our dedicated strength and conditioning area is packed with top-of-the-line Eleiko bars and plates, BLK BOX racks and Technogym plate-loaded machines.
Our new purpose-built studio hosts our diverse fitness class timetable and we’ve added another sports hall to accommodate our Sports Union clubs and Student Sport programme.
These, on top of our existing world-class tennis and swimming facilities and range of programmes, contribute to a sport, health and wellbeing experience designed for students of all abilities.
Student Sport
We have so many opportunities to get involved in sport at the University, from organised training and matches with Sports Union clubs to our recreational Social Sport Leagues and hugely popular Just Play Sport programme, there’s something for everyone.
