Active Start - Staff

Active Start - Staff gives all new Oxford Brookes University staff members free access to the Brookes Sport facilities during the first month of their employment. Staff are able to access free use of our gyms and fitness classes at both Headington and Harcourt Hill Campuses, as well as the swimming pool, sauna and steam facilities at the Harcourt Hill Campus. This is equivalent to our Fitness Membership Level

The full list of our Staff Memberships can be found here and our opening times can be found here
