Renewed. Refreshed. Reimagined.
Sport and activity underpin community life on campus. We believe wellness is about choice, and we want to offer users many ways to engage with physical activity. Our job is to enable people to become their best, through spaces and experiences that help people believe they are capable of great things. The new gym will uphold this ‘best in class’ mantra by offering an exceptional user experience for anyone looking for cardio, fixed strength, or functional exercise.

The gym is filled with state-of-the-art equipment, including 30 brand-new treadmills, 15 cross-trainers, nine exercise bikes and eight stair climbers. There is also strength equipment available for members, such as leg presses and lat pull machines.
