Last year, a new teaching space for students and exercise space for staff opened in B111.
The gym is well equipped and has four zones – the circuit machines, cardio, weights as well as gear needed for fitness classes.
The Exercise Lab is first and foremost a teaching space, accessible to staff outside class timetabled slots. To reflect this, the cost is $4 per week, pre-paid for a semester ($96 for Sem 1 2024, including mid semester break). This will help cover the costs of cleaning, new equipment and resources over time.
Operating hours are Monday to Friday, 6.30am – 7pm.
To register, please complete this form. The form will take you through the necessary induction steps and includes these four sections.
PLEASE NOTE that all four steps need to be completed before you receive the access code and booking instructions.
Health self- assessment form. The questions are part of standard pre-exercise assessment, approved and recommended by NZ Register of Exercise Professionals. Your answers will help The Exercise Lab team determine what we need to focus on during our 10 min induction.
Terms and Conditions. Short and sweet section, making sure we are all on the same page about the rules of engagement – the exercise lab tikanga.
