Gym on the move – temporary closure
Posted on behalf of: Better Campus
Last updated: Friday, 29 August 2025
The main gym is relocating from the Falmer Sports Complex to the new gym development in the Sports Centre this September.
The new facility will offer a larger space, more equipment, and a central location that’s easier to access - designed to give you space for a great workout.
The move
To prepare for the transition, both gyms will close at 6pm on Sunday 7 September. They will then be shut from Monday 8 September until 12 noon on Monday 15 September while we move equipment to the new site.
- During this period, all gym spaces at Falmer Sports Complex and the Sports Centre will be closed
- Classes based in the gym will not be running
- Other scheduled classes, including those in the dance studio and halls, will continue as normal.
New gym
We’re excited to welcome you to the new gym at the Sports Centre. Here’s what to expect:
- A bigger, brighter space
- More machines and dedicated workout zones
- A fresh, modern environment to support your fitness goals.
