How much is it?

[MellowedOut]

£209 for gym, £279 if you want classes on top. Everything else comes in £10 sports club membership including swimming tennis and loads of equipment for free hire. It's an amazing bargain.

If you pay the £10 sports club membership do get use of showers too??

I've not checked it out yet, but I can't imagine that they'd give you access to all the facilities without there being showers available, particularly for people living off-campus wanting to exercise before lectures.

I did just find this randomly whilst on the uni website, it's a map showing where showers are for people that have cycled in:

Can any current students help on this one, I was told on the open day that there is also a gym that is free to use? All i'm after is free weights.

I wouldn't worry about the online rates, I'm sure they don't include current students. I spoke to a new memberships guy last week and I'm sure the £209 and £279 were what he quoted, with no need to worry about peak/off-peak times either. I'm pos gonna join up this weekend as I live nearby, I'll let you know.

On there it did say student prices and it was still more than you say.
When you sign up though I would lvoe to know please as the only reason I decided I wasn't going to join was the price.

It said this last year but when you arrive they will almost definately run a promotional thing for bath uni students which will be roughly £210ish for the gym and £280 for gym and classes. They did last year, I dont know anyone who paid more than that to join the gym.

That would be the sulis club which is about 20 walk away from campus

Is the Sulis club gym actually free to use? Cause I have my car next year so getting to it wouldnt bother me and Id rather use a gym where I'm not going to see EVERYONE I know lol.

not planning on using it to drive to campus unless I have an 8.15 or something just figured as I'm insuring it I may aswell have it with me.

To those asking about showers, the swimming pools are free to use during certain times, so I suppose you could shower down there if you really need to. Though there are two showers in the eastwood houses, so one of the two should always be ok tbh. Which houses aren't getting cleaned this year then btw?

Students can't park on campus! They'll be living privately in Bath

they can, you can only park for 6 hours or something i can't remember what it said on the pay and display last time i parked on campus. First years however are not allowed cars, otherwise everyone would have a car on the car park. They can't keep track of which second/third/fourth year has a car.

And besides you won't be parking up there for the whole 6 hours. When you get to the uni you'll find that your time table will have gaps anyways - i'd rather go home than sit in the library for 3 4 hours waiting for my next lecture

ah right fair enough, i don't think second years and above have 8:15s anyway because would be a nightmare on public transport - especially on those orange buses....... those things take the serious piss. You can be waiting next to starbucks for 30 minutes (on a week day) and no bus will turn up...... then all of a sudden ******* 3 of them appear
