Student Membership

More than a gym: Your fitness community awaits.

At YMCA, we believe in more that just doing a workout – we believe in building a supportive community. Unlike budget gyms where you’re just another face in the crowd, we offer a welcoming environment where you can thrive.

Student memberships are just £280.50 a year or £25.50 a month, with no contract.

Why choose YMCA?

Community feel: Experience a gym where you’re not just a member, but part of something bigger. Our supportive atmosphere ensures you feel motivated and connected.

Less crowded, more comfort: Forget the busy, intimidating environments of budget gyms. At YMCA we maintain a comfortable space where you can focus on your fitness goals without the stress of long waits and overcrowded areas.

Affordable: It can be hard to stretch the budget to cover gym membership when you’re a student. But our special rates and flexible membership options make it very affordable to stay active and healthy. Student memberships are just £280.50 a year or £25.50 a month, with no contract. The offer applies to all students with an NUS card. Please bring proof of your student ID when you 1st visit the centre.
