Active Tuesdays

From February 2025, we’re excited to launch Active Tuesdays, offering all Oxford Brookes University staff free access to our Headington and Harcourt Hill Brookes Sport gym facilities every Tuesday. This initiative runs all day, all year-round, giving you the perfect opportunity to prioritise your health and wellbeing.

We’re committed to creating the best experience for our staff. If you have any questions, suggestions, or feedback about Active Tuesdays, Brookes Active or our facilities, we’d love to hear from you!

What are Active Tuesdays?

While the gym remains open to all Brookes Sport members, this initiative offers free access exclusively for Oxford Brookes staff. Whether you’re new to the gym or a regular, Active Tuesdays make it easy to connect with colleagues, stay active and establish fitness as part of your weekly routine.

We recognise that, in this world of hybrid working, Tuesdays often serve as an anchor day for staff on campus. This makes it the perfect opportunity to enjoy a calmer, more relaxed gym environment compared to the busier Wellness Wednesays, which will just be for students moving forwards.

Our Gym Facilities

At our Headington and Harcourt Hill gyms, you’ll find:

The gym at Headington is spread across two floors, with lift access for ease of mobility.
