Due to popular demand over the summer, we’re running our Free Initial Fitness Consultation (IFC) outreach programme again in January 2025.
All staff and students on campus will have the opportunity to speak to a trained fitness professional at a time and location that suits you across campus. The consultations are free and available to all University of Kent staff and students. Your 30-minute 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.

Each day, we are providing 8 bookable 30-minute appointments between 10am to 12pm and 1pm to 3pm.

How to book your appointment
Please use one of the forms above to request an appointment on a day and time to suit you.
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*. There is one form for each day of the promotion. Once you have chosen the day you would like your appointment, please select the 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.
*The free IFC consultations must be booked and attended by Friday 17 January 2025. IFC appointments are limited to one per person. If you are unable to attend your booked appointment, please contact us as soon as possible as we may be able to offer your appointment to another person. We will arrange another day and time for your appointment.
