There are a series of sports and activities taking place during a weekly timetable that can be booked through the Lboro Sport app. These range from UV Zumba, Football, Wheelchair Basketball, Yoga and much more. If you want to keep fit, meet new people, and have fun this is the programme for you, so come along to our sessions!

Free Weekly Activities

All the activities we offer are free to book through the Loughborough Sport app. They are led by volunteer student activators who aim to ensure a positive, friendly environment that includes everyone who attends. If you have a disability (physical or mental) and you are unsure about attending or whether the session is suitable for you, please do not hesitate to drop us an email. We have friendly staff available to meet with you, talk you through the session and even give you a tour of the facilities! 

Try and book in advance for all timetable activities as places are limited and booking is on a first come first serve basis. Please select the My Lifestyle tile on the Loughborough Sport App home screen to book your place.

Please be aware that all activities are subject to change during term time and a different timetable is run during the exam season. Make sure to check the Loughborough Sport app to see what is available and follow us on Instagram @lboromylifestyle to keep up to date with any changes and events coming up!
