How important is your fitness to you? You may be suprised to hear this, but your fitness is very important to us, and that's why we've invested in some seriously amazing fitness and sporting facilities to ensure you get a great work out every time.
Read on and you'll get a good idea of the fitness facilities you'll be able to use at Aberystwyth University, so if you're looking to get into shape or just want to maintain your fitness level, bring your gym towel because you can be guaranteed the facilities below will get you sweating!
Fitness
The Sports Centre offer loads of fitness facilities and even more fitness classes for you to get involved in.
Classes range from aqua classes, martial arts classes, dance classes, spin classes, fitness classes and many more. The exercise section of the sports centre website has loads more information.
The Sports Centre has the most up-to-date fitness facilities out there and has recently implemented the "Wellness System" computer software into the Main Gym, which allows you to have a personalised training programme created onto your Wellness Key which you can follow on every machine, including the running machines, cross-trainers, rowing machines and weight stacks.
As well as the Main Gym you have access to loads of other facilities in the Sports Centre.
The swimming pool and the indoor climbing wall prove to be two of the most popular facilities by our current students...
Free Weights Room
The Free Weights Room is for people who are serious about lifting weights... put it this way: if you want to build muscle, then the Free Weights Room is where it'll happen.
The Free Weights Room has all the kit you'll need to become the next Mr. Olympia: 2.5kg to 45kg dumbbells, masses of barbells (weighted and Olympic), multiple types of benches (preacher, flat, inclining and declining) plus a cable and smith machines. The Free Weights Room is truly a place to bulk up.
The sporting facilities really are very good, the gym is excellent. Because I am quite an active person I do football, go boxing, go to the gym – and Aberystwyth has all these facilities which is really good.
