This summer, we’re offering all staff and students on campus the opportunity to speak to a trained fitness professional at a time and location that suits you, as part of our Initial Fitness Consultations (IFCs) promotion.
The consultations are free and available to all University of Kent staff and students. Your appointment will involve a simple health screening (Blood Pressure, Height, Weight, Resting Heart Rate) alongside a discussion about medical history, current activity levels, health and wellbeing objectives and barriers to being active with a qualified Fitness Instructor from the Kent Sport Fitness Team. During your consultation, the instructor will discuss Kent Sport membership options and programmes with a view to providing activity and engagement opportunities for you, however, there is no obligation to join Kent Sport.
How to book your appointment
You can book your appointment through our online booking form. We have one appointment available in each 30-minute slot on each day. If the slot you have requested is full, or you are unable to attend any of the advertised slots, then a member of the Fitness Team is happy to contact you via email or phone to arrange a free IFC within the gym at a more convenient time*. You will need to log in to your Kent account to access the form. Once you have logged in, please select the date and time you would prefer, and a member of the Fitness Team will email you to confirm your booking.
We are also happy to offer the consultation online via Teams, however, please understand that we will be unable to conduct the screening element (Blood Pressure, Height, Weight, Resting Heart Rate) and would prefer to meet you in-person. It may also be possible for a member of the Team to conduct the Consultation in or near your office around Campus if a suitable room/space is available. To explore these options please email csekentsportgym@kent.ac.uk and a member of the Team will reply.
