As we come to the end of 2022, we would like to remind you that as a UC Student, you can enjoy continued access to the RecCentre over summer, until 1st March, 2023*.
To continue to access the gym, you’ll need to re-register. It’s online and takes only a minute or so. Then, on your first visit, we need to activate your card for the new tap and go access, and this takes just a jiffy.
Christmas Hours
Last day for 2022: Wednesday 21 December, 9pm
Opening day for 2023: Wednesday 4 January, 6am
Group Fitness classes: Check and book via the app
Along with the rest of UC, we also close for two weeks. This is so we can all take a solid break to spend time with family and friends, and to rest and restore our hearts, minds and bodies. We also rely on and collaborate with many other departments and staff in the university, whose māhi enable us to do what we do. Without them, we simply cannot operate all of the services we do, and maintain a safe facility for you. A big thankyou to all those teams.
New stuff for 2023
With life returning to somewhat normal, we will see the return of our Group Fitness Challenge, a new and improved spin studio (including a new suite of bikes with metrics), and a complete refresh of all new connected Technogym Cardio equipment. So exciting!
Got suggestions?
We would love to know how we can help YOU, your friends and whānau be more physically active, either at home, on campus or at the gym. If you’ve got a great idea that you think might help get more people active, please have a chat to us or drop us an email.
Thankyou for your ongoing support
We realise that even though your membership is student levy funded, you do still have the choice to go elsewhere. We are super glad that so many of you signed up and came to the gym (no matter how many times). It shows good intentions to look after your own wellbeing. Ka pai!
We know we’ve had a few disruptions this year – RecLITE, new software, new gates etc. We really appreciate the patience everyone showed with our staff and other members, as we all continue to learn a whole new software and ways of doing things. There’s more great stuff to come, so watch this space!
Ngā mihi and meri kirihimete!
