Health and<br />

Wellbeing<br />

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 />

on the Athletic Union’s website <strong>at</strong>: www.unionsociety.co.uk<br />
