Active Restart: Free January Access for Brookes Staff
Start 2026 on a positive, active note! This January, all Oxford Brookes University staff are invited to enjoy free access to Brookes Sport & Active Wellness facilities.
This offer includes full use of our gyms and fitness classes at Headington and Harcourt Hill, equivalent to our Fitness Membership level.
How to claim your free month
To redeem your free access, please complete the Active Restart Google Form. Before doing so, you must first register for a Brookes Sport Staff Registration account. Your 7-digit Member ID will be emailed to you and is required to submit the form. You will receive an email confirmation once your access has been added.
Already a member? You can still benefit
Current staff members with an active Direct Debit or Annual membership can also claim a free month:
- Direct Debit members: Your January or February payment will be waived.
- Annual members: One additional month will be added to the end of your membership.
Please request your free month through the Active Restart Google Form by 15 December.
Download the BrookesSport app
We recommend downloading the Brookes Sport App (iOS or Android) to book fitness classes and access the Headington gym. Your staff card can be activated to access to Harcourt Hill gym.
After your complimentary month
We hope you’ll experience the many the benefits of staying active. For continued access, we offer a range of discounted Staff Memberships, as well as Staff Hoppers, which are a flexible, affordable option for staying active on-campus without the commitment of an annual or monthly membership. Speak to our reception team to learn more or to purchase.
Year-round wellness
All Oxford Brookes staff can enjoy free access to our gym facilities every Tuesday as part of our Active Tuesday initiative. Staff can also book free Wellness Checks, ideal for anyone beginning, restarting, or progressing in their health and wellness journey.
