We've said it many, many times before, and we'll say it again – always make sure to ask about student discounts. Even if they aren't advertised, that doesn't mean they aren't available. But that doesn't mean you can't get fit without spending money.įrom YouTube videos to fitness apps (like Couch to 5K), home workouts to going for a run in the great outdoors, there are tonnes of ways to keep fit without parting with any cash. And if you're not content with just saving money while you exercise, there's even more good news – some apps will even pay you to get fit! Whichever way you look at it, going to the gym is always going to cost you a fair bit of money. To look for gyms near you, start with your local council. While the equipment might not be to the same standard as you'd find in private gyms, they usually offer a student gym membership (and who doesn't love a student discount?). Prices start from: around £20/month (check locally)Ĭouncil gyms are also a very good bet for a cheaper option. What's more, you're likely to feel obliged to indulge in chit-chat with everyone you know when you're sweating from every pore and unable to breathe. The downside of using your uni gym, however, is that campus gyms tend to get quite overcrowded. And, as they're run by the uni, they'll often offer more flexible membership choices (such as the option to only pay for term time).Īn added bonus is that you obviously won't have to travel far to get there, and could probably squeeze a quick workout in when you're between lectures.

You'll often find that university gyms are priced pretty competitively.

Prices start from: around £10/month (check with your university)
