Welcome to the Sports Centre at the University of Essex
The University has a five-year vision for sport as defined in its Sports
Strategy, 2009-2013 to increase investment in facilities, encourage greater
participation, improve performance and raise the profile of sport across the
University. Whether you like racquet sports, football or rugby or perhaps aerobics,
free weights or climbing, there is an activity – indoors or outside - to
suit you.
Having invested some £1.4 million in 2010, we are now home to one of the
most advanced sports facilities in Essex.
Our showpiece
Evolve gym which opened in July 2010, features over 130 stations, and
offers state-of-the-art fitness technology in light, spacious
air-conditioned comfort.
Our stunning
new fitness studios offer sprung wooden floors and air conditioning
giving the best of environments for a vast range of classes from
aerobics to yoga.
