Sports Centre
Our £8.5 million Doug Ellis Sports Centre boasts an 80-station fitness suite, an eight-court sports hall, and workout and spinning studios.
The centre offers state-of-the-art fitness training equipment and plenty of room for team sports including five-a-side football and cricket.
An all-weather pitch adds the finishing touches to the centre, which is located close to our City North Campus.
The fitness suite is an Aladdin’s cave of equipment designed to work on different areas of the body or to build up stamina. The Octane is a state-of-the-art cross-trainer preferred by American footballers and the first of its kind to be installed in the UK. There are also spinning machines that can be set to a fat-burning programme based on age, weight and height, and which have headsets allowing users to follow an automated training session.
Visitors to the gym can choose a personalised fitness programme, instructed by qualified fitness trainers, and take advantage of a selection of classes.
Staff are on hand to offer advice and the gym is accessible for disabled users, with changing facilities that include disabled access, as well as team changing and separate areas for referees.
