There's still time to join the Purple Wave, find out about our Be Active schedule and summer strengthening programme, and we'd like to hear your thoughts in our survey

Be Active

Purple Wave events

Registration is still open for the next Purple Wave 10k and half marathon on Sunday, 21 May 2023, with only a few half-price tickets available.

We're continuing to support Manchester's Cancer Research Centre as our Purple Wave charity this year. We hope to raise even more money than in previous years.

BeActive Classes - New timetable

Join us for group fitness classes led by qualified, experienced instructors, and choose the level of intensity that is most comfortable for you. Along with our in-person studio classes, we also provide live Zoom sessions.

Summer Strength and Conditioning Programme

Improve your knowledge and levels of strength and fitness this summer on the UoM Strength and Conditioning Programme. This eight-week introduction to strength and conditioning is designed for UoM Staff at every level, whether you already take part in a sport or are a complete beginner to exercise programmes. This programme will help to build your confidence in using the gym, with advice and guidance provided by our expert team.

Designed with UoM staff in mind, you can join this at any age, fitness level, or ability. We’ll ensure you focus on improving mobility, stability, coordination, and strength, while gaining technical competency skills through key movement patterns in a gym-based environment.
