Staff Active Start

Start strong at Oxford Brookes. Enjoy a month of free gym and classes!

Staff Active Start 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. This is equivalent to our Fitness Membership level.
