How to use the free gym and sport centre on campus

Are you ready to step into your health & fitness and join us at the RecCentre?   There’s nothing to pay (it’s student levy funded) and you can get access to a huge range of facilities/equipment, services and group fitness classes.  But first, here are some essentials you need to know:

  1.  Register online before you get here
    Take the time to register online before you visit your first time.  This will save you time once you get here, and it will take just a few moments for our friendly team to help get your student ID card connected and activate, so you can have full access to all the cool stuff we have.
  2. Get the UC Rec&Sport Technogym app 
    After you register, you’ll be sent a few emails from us.  It’s important that you follow all the instructions in them to get the full experience.  One will help you set up your app, giving you even more resources to help you to your goals.
  3. Wear shoes, shirts and proper bottoms
    For the health, safety and comfort of yourself and others, it’s essential you wear shoes that covered toe and heel (no crocs, jandals, sandals or birks); shirts are worn, and your shorts, tights or trackies are comfortable and enable you to move freely.
  4. Bring a gym towel & use the gym wipes 
    Use a small hand towel at the gym to wipe yourself down and stop your excess sweat flinging onto others or being left behind on equipment.   You can use it to lay on your bench before you lay down, creating a barrier between you and the surface.Gym wipes are located all around the facility, use them to wipe down when you finish (and if you don’t trust the person before you, you can use them before you start as well).  They are biodegradable and you help us make the gym more hygienic when we all use them!

Check out all the gym etiquette and how to use the gym safely in our website, and we’ll see you soon!
