Staff Information

Who are we?

Sport and Active Life (SAS: Student Services and Belonging) is the University's in-house sports and fitness hub. We offer state-of-the-art gym facilities, tailored training programmes for fresh faces and experienced users alike, and a social and welcoming fitness community to both University members and the wider community. 

What we do?

We operate two leisure centres across the University, one on main campus  (Danielle Brown Sports Centre) and one across from The Village in Oadby (Roger Bettles Sports Centre). The centres include:

- Two high-quality gyms, both including a fully fitted cardiovascular section, Squat Racks and other plate loaded machines, resistance machines and a large range of free weights;
- Swimming pool and poolside amenities, including a sauna, steam room, and a spa pool in each centre
- A varied range of group exercise classes, covering both high and low-intensity training 
- Access to outdoor tennis courts and football pitches, as well as sports halls perfect for basketball, badminton, and much more! (Roger Bettles Only for Staff access)

However, we offer much more than just the sports facilities! For students we support University student led sports teams and their timetables, which includes the competitive sports teams of Team Leicester, through to the casual and social aspects of Let's Do Leicester sessions.

Staff Health and Wellbeing is important to us, and we support wellbeing initiatives and active workplace campaigns, where possible. For the wider community, we offer memberships to those in the local area to encourage incorporating health and fitness into your schedule. 

How we support University staff?

• Discounted staff memberships providing full access to both the sports centres, for yourself and one other person.
• Access to the group exercise classes as drop-ins or bookings 
• Facilities available to hire to support team building and staff health activities (Roger Bettles & Charles Wilson Sports Halls)
• Pay As You Go (PAYG) single sessions
