All other sessions are within a short walking distance of campus or on campus itself. Free cycle hire is also available from The Fitness Pod reception via our cycle loan scheme.
Most of our training takes place on the University campus. Some training however does take place at external locations where we do not have the facilities on campus, and in some instances we do offer free university minibus to weekly training. Most of the locations we use for training are within easy walking or cycle distances. If you have any queries regarding training or getting to a location please contact the sports office on the lower ground floor of MDX House.
