What are Active Tuesdays?

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

In today’s world of hybrid working, Tuesdays often serve as an anchor day for staff on campus, making it the perfect opportunity to get active.

Our Gym Facilities

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

  • free weights
  • cardio equipment 
  • resistance machines.

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