Sport app

Download our app for a brand-new way of immersing yourself in sport and fitness.

Our free Sport app allows you to book gym sessions, fitness classes and facilities, as well as access class schedules. Members will now be able to book visits with us easier than ever, up to a week in advance.

You can find out what we have to offer, whether it’s exploring the Athletic Union student clubs and our intra-mural games (IMG) leagues, or discovering our four fantastic sport and fitness facilities - immerse yourself in sport and fitness at Cardiff University.

Get booking

Check out and book upcoming fitness classes, gym sessions and facilities across the facilities at the Sports Training Village, Fitness and Conditioning Centre and Studio 49. You can also manage and amend your bookings all in one place.

Booking a facility, class or session 

Currently members are able to view and make bookings through the app for the following facilities:

  • gym sessions
  • fitness classes
  • badminton courts
  • squash courts
  • other facilities will be available in the future

Facilities are only bookable 7 days in advance. If you are unable to view a facility it could mean the session could be full or the fitness instructor is unable to deliver the class, meaning it will no longer appear on the app. You will not be able to book a gym session until you have completed a Health Commitment Statement or undertaken a Fitness Facility Induction, if preferred.

If you are interested in booking other sports facilities you may make enquiries by calling the relevant facility.

Booking multiple sessions

We do not currently permit members to book back-to-back fitness gym sessions. We would like to ensure all members have an opportunity to book a gym session. If spaces are available in a subsequent gym session you will be permitted to join, but you are unable to book it in advance using the app

Cancel a booking

You can cancel through ‘My Account’ up to 48 hours prior to your session. If it is less than this please call us or send us an email as you won’t be able to do this via the app. Late cancellation penalties may apply.

A booked session will be cancelled if a charge is expected but not paid. The app will automatically delete unpaid bookings.

If you do not cancel a booking that you are unable to attend the booking will be recorded as a ‘no show’. You will be unable to obtain a refund and it could lead you to losing any advanced booking privilege.

Never miss a thing

Keep up to date with gym and sport facility closures, important updates, offers and events.
