Student
All current students at Edge Hill University are entitled to an annual peak Sports Centre membership. These are run for both September and January student intakes and have fixed expiry dates. Join online through our online booking system or visit our reception desk at The Sports Centre for assistance.
Team Edge Hill / Active Plus membership
All students that are training with or representing Edge Hill University either individually or as part of a team must hold a valid Team Edge Hill membership. The majority of competitions are organised by British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) although some competitions may sit outside BUCS. These membership fees contribute towards insurance, facility hire, officials, entry fees, and affiliations, transport, and playing kits among other expenses.
This membership includes all membership benefits included in the Active Plus membership as well as access to Team Edge Hill clubs.
Students who are not part of Team Edge Hill can still purchase this membership should they just wish to have the Active Plus membership benefits.
All students and staff holding an annual (12 month) membership at Edge Hill are eligible to access fitness facilities free of charge at over 80 other universities that have signed up to the BUCS UNIversal scheme. To gain access to the BUCS UNIversal membership simply create an account on the Playwaze app. Then, request the membership from your University of study/work. Once confirmed you can then present this at the registered facility to sign up.
The staff rate is available to all Edge Hill University staff members to receive a discount on a peak Sports Centre membership. In order to qualify for this discounted rate, you must register with a valid Edge Hill University email address and you will be required to produce your staff ID upon your first visit.
Staff 7 day trial
If you are unsure of whether to take out a membership, then we offer a free 7 day Sports Centre staff trial membership to all Edge Hill University staff. These are limited to one per person. You will need to have a valid Edge Hill University staff email address in order to register and it can only be applied for in the Centre at our Reception desk, where proof of staff ID will be sought.
