Summer membership specials for your non-UC mates

Have you got Uni friends coming home to Christchurch for summer, who need a gym to go to?  Starting at just $49, why not recommend the UC RecCentre?  They get a bargain and you get a gym buddy!

Summertime at the RecCentre

The RecCentre goes into chill mode for Summer, making it an excellent time to come down and enjoy the space and your own pace.   It’s also a time where old friends might come home for summer break, or perhaps you have some flatmates who aren’t UC students, also a loose end?

Summer Sizzler Specials

Our prices are already pretty darn good, but right now we also have our Summer Sizzler specials available.   We have three rates:
Non-UC Students at other tertiary (or secondary) institutions $49 UC Staff $79
General community $149

All are valid for 3months. Check out all the terms and conditions online. 

These aren’t available for long – sale ends Sunday 24th November, 2024!

UC Students Memberships valid until 1 March, 2025

As a UC student, your levy funded membership is valid until 1 March, 2025.  Some exceptions apply (like some Postgraduate courses), so check with us if you’re not sure.  Haven’t registered yet? No worries, you can do it now! Hit up the online registration, then pop over with your student card to get moving!

Ilam Gardens Tree Work

Facilities Management Grounds staff are currently undertaking general maintenance and tree trimming and crown work on trees in Ilam Gardens.

Work will be completed between 8am Monday 11 November and 4pm on Thursday 14 November and will include the removal of one dead tree.

Facilities Management have adopted a two for one replacement policy to compensate for the loss of a tree. Decisions on replacement planting will be part of the 2025 works planning.

What do you need to do?

  • Do not enter the fenced off area
  • Be aware of machinery noise from use of the chainsaw and chipper.

Please direct any enquiries to fmassist@canterbury.ac.nz

 Thank you for your consideration as we undertake these required safety works.
