How to Join
Register for a Loughborough Sport account today to start using our world leading facilities. Everyone is welcome to join, whether you're a student, member of staff, University partner or just part of the wider community.
We strongly encourage everyone to purchase their membership online or via the Loughborough Sport app. If you are yet to download the app, please do, as all activities, including gym and pool sessions, are only bookable through the app.
All Loughborough University students and staff have accounts created when they join, which is registered to their lboro.ac.uk email address and ready to be activated. However, if at any point you change the email address your Loughborough Sport account is registered to, this is the address required when re-accessing it.
To activate, click the link below, select Register, input your email address and select a password which is NOT the same as your main University login. There will then be a 2-step verification process: first select the link sent to your email address, and once you're in your account, confirm your registration by inputting your new Member ID plus either your date of birth or phone number. These will have been emailed to you when your account was first created, but please contact us at sportmemberships@lboro.ac.uk if you need any support. If the verification details (date of birth and phone number) sent do not match your actual details, these can be updated once you've confirmed your registration.
