Sussexsport is here to help University staff have fun and get active.

To help balance your work and leisure time, we're providing fitness and wellbeing opportunities to University of Sussex staff!

We want to help all our staff find enjoyment in activity. Our ActiveStaff programme is also a great way to meet new colleagues, get to know your workplace benefits better and most importantly have some fun.

Active opportunities on campus

Sussexsport Membership

Before you even need to look at purchasing a membership, we offer new staff a 7 day free trial to test out our facilities.

Our staff gym memberships come in at very reasonable prices that compete with even the cheapest of gyms, add to this the bonus that you can pay before tax through salary deduction and you will realise we have aimed our prices at helping staff stay active. With a variety of options from pay as you go to full access memberships you can choose which membership suits you. Contact our reception team on 01273 678228 or pop in for a friendly chat.

Sussexsport Classes

We offer a year round fitness timetable of classes to suit all needs and abilities which can be attended by University of Sussex staff at the discounted staff rate. You can also sign up to one of our Gold or Silver memberships to have all your classes included.
