Drop-in fitness classes on campus
If you’re looking to get in shape for summer, then why not try one of our drop-in health and fitness classes right here on campus? If you want a taster of Tai Chi, then head over to the UMSA Room (Dover Street Building) on a Monday lunchtime from 12.05 to 12.55pm and learn about the meditative approach to postural alignment, relaxation, attentive movement and mindful awareness of the breath. It costs just £4 a session and all proceeds will be donated to charity at the end of July.
For more information, please contact:
There is also a Zumba class every Friday lunchtime from 12 to 12.50pm in the Sackville Street Building (Room H11), for just £3.50 a class.
