Facility Update - 2nd October 2023

Gym Membership

Unfortunately due to the gym refurbishment and the current capacity of temporary facilities, fitness memberships are currently extremely limited.  Today we are releasing 300 memberships for sale on a first come first served basis.

This situation changes on a weekly basis and batches will be released as capacity becomes available.  Please check back regularly for availability.

If you'd like to be notified when they are available as well as receive the latest updates on the gym and our facilities please sign up here and we'll be in touch as soon as we have news.

Gym Refurbishment - Summer 2023

Before you proceed to purchase a new fitness membership with us please read on to ensure you are comfortable with the arrangements during the refurbishment period.  If you would prefer to visit Goodwin Sports Centre first to take a look around, please come along and talk to one of our reception team who will be happy to arrange this for you.

The gym refurbishment is well underway and due for completion in Autumn 2023.  Once complete it will host brand new Technogym equipment, as well as improved air handling and cooling to ensure a great workout experience.

During this refurbishment period, our gym facilities are still available at Goodwin Sports Centre.  Located throughout other areas of the building we have a dedicated cardio space with treadmills, rowers, bikes and cross trainers and other equipment available to keep you in peak condition.  We also have 2 weights areas, 1 dedicated to free-weights and the other with a wide range of pin loaded equipment to ensure you can still get a great workout.

Fitness Classes will take place in various spaces including the outdoor sports pitches and Sports Hall throughout the refurbishment period.

Work on the new gym is scheduled for completion in Autumn 2023, you can stay up-to-date on the refurbishment progress on the University's Estates and Facilities Management website here.

We apologise in advance for any minor inconvenience during the work, however, we hope you’re as excited as we are to finally get this project underway and we can’t wait to welcome you to your new gym later this year!

Swimming Pool Update

Following the most recent survey assessing the condition of the centre, we have unfortunately had to make the decision to close the swimming pool immediately and indefinitely so that we can be assured of the safety of our customers.  Due to this the swimming pool, steam and sauna rooms will also no longer be available.

Taking care of you...
