University Fitness and Squash Centre

Although the University’s biggest sports facility is at Talybont, this more centrally located facility on Park Place is still a hub of activity throughout the week, and seems to host the majority of taught classes such as aerobics, yoga, body sculpt, and so on. Students (£2.30 a class) and staff (£3.20 a class) benefit from pretty cheap class prices, whereas external customers can go along but have to pay quite a bit more (£5 a time — still pretty good value!).
This centre also has a very popular collection of six squash courts — three glass backed and two enclosed. These need booking in advance, and if you want to play around lunchtime you need to plan ahead a bit as courts often get booked up quite far in advance (you can book them up to two weeks in advance if you have racquets membership).
Then there’s the main fitness suite itself, with cardio equipment, resistance equipment and a free weights area. The gym staff offer a fitness assessment, can help you design an exercise training programme, and also offer a personal training service charged by the hour.
Finally, there’s also a wellbeing clinic offering massage, beauty treatments and physiotherapy — at great prices for staff and students!
