An amazing array of brand new and refurbished facilities will be available for use when Kent Sport opens its doors on 7 May 2013.
As part of its commitment to fitness and wellbeing, Kent Sport has invested more than £4.8 million in upgrading the sporting facilities on the Canterbury campus. This includes a significant expansion of the Fitness Suite with three distinct areas for general fitness, wellness and rehabilitation, and high performance training, creating a unique workout experience. With brand new CV equipment and an extensive range of free weights and lifting platforms.
From 7 May classes will be held in our new larger dance studio that can be split into two for smaller, more intimate classes with enhanced lighting and sound. There are classes to suit all interests, now including Boxercise®, Spinning®, Cardio Tennis and Balance Bodies. The new class timetable will be available soon at www.kent.ac.uk/sports/health/timetable. Due to the improvements there will be no classes until the new studio opens on the 7 May 2013
In addition, to complete the brand new Indoor Tennis Centre, the surface of the three indoor tennis /netball courts is being colour sprayed this week and will be available from 29 April.
Graham Holmes, Director of Kent Sport, says, ‘Our new facilities are superb, and I am delighted to be able to provide first-class sporting facilities for the campus and local communities. Sport is the best way to relax, make friends and improve ones quality of life and I encourage everyone to join in and enjoy all that Kent Sport can now offer.’
There are even more improvements to come later this year. The redevelopment includes a third multi-purpose sports hall for a variety of sports and activities. There will also be a new physiotherapy clinic integrated into the gym facilities allowing a seamless service, not often seen, from acute injury right back to full fitness. Members will also benefit from the introduction of online bookings. For further information about the redevelopment, visit www.kent.ac.uk/sports/future.
To celebrate the new facilities, Kent Sport is pleased to offer 50% off membership for the first 50 staff, the first 50 members of the public, and the first 50 students to join during the period 7 May – 31 May 2013.
