University is a great time to try new activities, meet new people and look after your physical and mental wellbeing. Through Together Active, we're committed to making sport and active wellness as accessible and affordable as possible, so cost doesn't stop you from getting involved.

Active Games: Free, fun and informal playground-style games every Tuesday, with two lunchtime sessions and an additional session at 4pm. Activities will vary throughout the year.
Student Move sessions and activities: Our social sport sessions typically cost just £3 per session, with no commitment to attend every week. Student Move sport sessions are also included with selected student and all sports club memberships.

Hoppers: Flexible Access
Not everyone wants, or needs, a membership. If you're looking for a more flexible way to stay active, our Student Hoppers provide a cost-effective alternative.
Choose from our:
Gym Hopper
Fitness Class Hopper
Racket Sports Hopper
Each Student Hopper costs £60 and includes 12 sessions, which can be used over 12 months, giving you the freedom to stay active at your own pace without committing to a membership.
Hoppers are ideal if you:
Commute to university and aren't on campus every day.
Have a busy or changing timetable.
Want to exercise around your studies, work or placements.
Prefer not to commit to a membership.
Only expect to use our facilities or activities occasionally.
Whether you're looking to use the gym, attend fitness classes or enjoy a game of badminton or squash with friends, Hoppers make it easier to stay active in a way that suits your lifestyle.
