For a full list of sports clubs and contact details for each, you can visit the Club Contacts page on the Queen’s Sport Website.

University is the perfect time to explore new sports or to rekindle an old hobby. There are clubs from tennis to taekwondo, rugby to rowing, hurling to handball and everything in-between. Queen’s Sport also encompasses and works-with the innumerable sports clubs and societies here at Queen’s University Belfast. The best way to explore all of the facilities, membership packages and more is to visit the Queens Sport Website. Personally, I have the On-Peak student membership as this has meant I have a little bit more flexibility to plan my gym sessions around my busy study schedule at Medical School. Off-peak and On-Peak options are also available depending on your own needs to allow you to plan your fitness around your other commitments. Members of the public can also join as Public Membership options are also available. Student Memberships is available which allows access to facilities and fitness classes, and you can either join on a monthly basis via direct debit with no fixed term, or on a longer-term basis with a one-off payment. There are also sometimes offers on memberships that can make membership even better value. There are multiple membership packages available at Queen’s Sport depending on your needs. I try to go to the gym 3 or 4 times per week and I find using the QUB Sport App it is very easy to book in these sessions in advance or change the time of my booking if my plans change.

Leg Press/Abductor/Adductor (10 minutes).

Rowing machine - high intensity (10 minutes).

Warm-up (Walking to gym + flexibility machines).

Each session is 1 hour so I tend to break up my session into 6 blocks of 10 minutes, using a different machine for roughly 10 minutes at a time.Ī standard session for me might look something like this: In the Cardio and Function Suite (the part of the gym I mainly use) there are more exercise machines than I know what to do with! There are treadmills, rowing machines, ski ergs, weight machines, leg presses, stair-master machines and so it goes on!Īs I’ve said, I train mostly to stay in shape and as part of staying healthy, as opposed to training for a sport or event in particular. The other main consideration for me was that Queen’s Sport has amazing facilities. All of this makes Queen’s sport a safe and welcoming place for me to go to the gym. Also, in terms of general safety, only those with a booking for a session can enter the gym and there are always staff on-site to help you if you have any questions or concerns. To ensure COVID safety there is hand sanitiser across all the gym facilities and if you are attending the gym, you are to wear a mask when moving between areas of the gym and asked to wipe down gym equipment with sanitising spray before and after use. This was both in terms of COVID and also just general safety. This makes it a very short walk from most of the student houses in the area and with the large car park on-site it is convenient to drive to as well. The PEC is right in the heart of Belfast’s student area - located just behind the Botanic Gardens.

There are many gyms in Belfast but there were a few reasons why I chose to join Queen’s Sport.įirstly, I wanted a gym that was close to me. I joined Queen’s sport a few months ago after not having spent much time in the gym before. During the pandemic I had gotten out of shape, and I wanted to get back into training when I was spending more time in Belfast now that teaching is more and more in-person. All of these facilities make joining Queen’s Sport very attractive to students and members of the public alike. At Elms BT1 (Queen’s city centre student accommodation) there is also a gym as part of Queen’s Sport. Also, there are football pitches, a rock-climbing wall, and multi-sports halls. As part of Queen’s Sport, you can visit the Physical Education Centre (PEC) to use the gym suite, the weights room, the swimming pool, or the squash courts. Queen’s Sport is the University’s gym, sporting, and exercise facilities. Queen's Physical Education Centre (PEC) What is Queen’s Sport?
