Membership

The University of the West of England welcomes everyone to use all its sports facilities. Most of the facilities are on Frenchay Campus and are open all year. There are different membership packages available to suit all users, ranging from the ‘Platinum’ option which gives free access to the fitness room and free access to aerobics classes (except yoga and pilates). ‘Gold’ category where an upfront fee is paid and allows you free access to the fitness suite to the ‘Bronze’ option where the upfront fee is discounted and a small pay as you go charge is applied with each visit. Membership, however, is not compulsory as we have highly competitive non-member rates. University of the West of England staff can pay monthly via payroll. Corporate membership packages are also available, for all enquiries please call the Frenchay Sports Centre on 0117 3286200 or visit www.uwe.ac.uk/sport. All members may make bookings seven days in advance. For those new to fitness training or in need of some advice UWE Sport offers personal training and fitness testing on a one-to-one basis. All instructors are highly qualified, experienced and of course, knowledgeable.

A gym membership is the one for you if you wish to use the fitness room on a regular basis. Platinum, Gold, silver and bronze memberships are available and price differentials reflect the benefits of the different categories

Gold Members: Free access to the fitness room at any time

Silver: Free off peak (students and staff only)

Bronze: Reduced fee peak and off peak

Accommodation Platinum Membership - for those students living in UWE Accommodation

Squash Membership

For those wanting to play squash only, we have an annual squash membership which will mean that for a one off payment you can book a court up to 7 days in advance and not pay anything further other than racket hire if required. If you play with a non member they will be required to pay half the court costs.

Car Parking

Car Parking Map

Frenchay Campus Map (Centre for Sport and Wallscourt Farm Gym)

The Centre for Sport at the University of the West of England has seen a significant increase in the requirement for car parking space at peak periods. These periods include after 4pm weekdays and all day on the weekends. We have a limited car parking capacity directly adjacent to the centre and we are now often reaching this capacity.  

We understand that car parking is causing some frustration particularly on a Saturday when we have Avon Netball, 2 partner hockey clubs and also our own gym users parking at the centre. We are committed to resolving the frustration and have sourced additional parking for both home and visiting teams for the 09/10 year;

1)    NO PARKING is permitted in the Centre for Sport car park at WEEKENDS for large event bookings (such as England Table Tennis, Badminton), one off events, and then netball and hockey bookings (we need to save these for the Centre's gym members). The university has purchased HP land behind the astro pitch which includes extensive car parking adjacent to our all weather pitch. Please click on the attached to show where you are able to park. Its easy to walk through towards the Centre. 

2)    Please if possible try to car share.

3)   As you are parking in alternative car park, bags, kit and equipment can be unloaded at the Centre for Sport to prevent you carrying large and heavy kit. Please give yourself plenty of time to drop off and then go and park over in the new car park. 

4)   Please can you also not park in the disabled parking bays as we do have disabled members using the Centre.

5) Students are  not permitted to park in the car park, again hopefully this will free space up for our members/users of the Centre. If they are caught parking then they will be issued with a fixed penalty notice.
