On 27th January 2025, your Full Time Officers announced that they had secured free gym access as well as free use of the Multi-User Games Area (MUGA) for all students.

From February to end of May 2025 (Trimester B 2024/25), 2,600 students took advantage of free gym memberships, showcasing the passion of students to stay active given increased accessibility to the facilities.

To put into perspective, between September 2024 and January 2025, 585 gym memberships were bought, 435 of which paid £15 monthly and 150 students paying a one off £100 fee. This means that in the 4 months that were recorded since becoming free, there was a whopping saving of £156,000 for students in gym membership fees (based on if 2,600 students spent £15 on monthly memberships).

The stats are a massive endorsement for your Full Time Officers and the University management’s partnership!!

The gym membership is still free and open to all current GCU students to sign up FREE with just your Student ID.

Go on and get active GCU 🏃‍🏃
