Athletic Union<br />
<strong>Newcastle</strong> <strong>University</strong> is committed to the health and wellbeing<br />
of our students, and we offer a variety of services which help<br />
you to keep fit, healthy and happy!<br />
The Fitness Suite in the <strong>University</strong> <strong>Sport</strong>s Centre boasts a diverse<br />
range of st<strong>at</strong>e-of-the-art exercise equipment. All members have<br />
an induction to ensure safety and effectiveness. Our fully trained<br />
staff are also available to devise personal exercise programmes<br />
and to carry out a wide range of health and fitness assessments<br />
to suit the needs of any members.<br />
The <strong>Sport</strong>s Massage and Holistic Therapy Clinic uses a highly<br />
qualified professional therapist to deliver sports massage,<br />
Swedish massage and Indian head massage. Run <strong>at</strong> a subsidised<br />
cost to <strong>University</strong> <strong>Sport</strong>s Centre members, this is accessible to all<br />
participants whether they are recre<strong>at</strong>ional, competitive or elite.<br />
Throughout the year the <strong>University</strong> <strong>Sport</strong>s Centre run a variety<br />
of activities including campus walks, vac<strong>at</strong>ion exercise classes<br />
and taster sessions.<br />
The Athletic Union (AU) is the central body th<strong>at</strong> organises and<br />
supports the Union Society’s sports clubs. However, sport <strong>at</strong><br />
<strong>Newcastle</strong> is not just about representing teams; it is very much<br />
about particip<strong>at</strong>ion. This is why we provide different levels of sport<br />
throughout the <strong>University</strong> for everyone from outstanding <strong>at</strong>hletes<br />
who compete <strong>at</strong> n<strong>at</strong>ional or intern<strong>at</strong>ional standard, to those who<br />
are simply interested in getting fit or looking to have a bit of fun.<br />
Most clubs within the AU meet up socially as well as providing an<br />
opportunity to play. If mainstream sports are not for you there is<br />
still a wide range of altern<strong>at</strong>ive sports clubs available to you as a<br />
<strong>Newcastle</strong> student. If these still aren’t quite wh<strong>at</strong> you had in mind,<br />
the AU will provide you with the support and facilities needed to<br />
set up and run your own sports club.<br />
Full details of all <strong>University</strong> sports clubs and societies can be found<br />
