Staff membership

As a member of staff at the University of Leicester you are eligible for membership of the new Sports Centre if you have a Staff Sportscard.

You can apply for a Staff Sportscard at any time using the below form. The cost is automatically deducted from your salary each month. Weekly paid staff pay the same overall annual fee, but in weekly deductions. Whilst you wait for your membership to be processed you can use the Sports Centre - simply sign in at reception as you come to use the facilities. However you must have had an induction before you use the gym area. Please ask at reception to book an induction or call reception on x3118 and book one.
