How to Join UofG Sport

How do I join UofG Sport as a student? Please read before joining

To join UofG Sport as a University of Glasgow student, you need to be fully matriculated and have your student card and GUID credentials.

Students in UofG Accommodation

You can get a full-access Sport membership for the discounted price of £120 (normally £170) but this is not available online – please visit Front Desk at either of our locations to join.

All other students

You can join in person at Front Desk at the Stevenson Building or Garscube Sports Complex.

To join online, please follow the three-step process outlined below.

Please read the following carefully *before* starting the joining process.

Step 1 – create UofG Sport account

To join, you must first create a UofG Sport account using your University email and GUID password.

This brings your personal details over from the University's main student database into the UofG Sport system, so that you do not have to enter any of your personal information manually.

If you find yourself entering personal details manually at any point in the joining process (such as name, email address, date of birth etc.) then stop – this means you're not logged in to your UofG Sport account, which already has these details.

Step 2 – create UofG Sport password (different from GUID password)

Once you've create your UofG Sport account, you need to create a password that is specific to UofG Sport.

Your GUID password will not allow you to access your UofG Sport account – you must set a seperate password that you'll use for UofG Sport only.

To set your UofG Sport password, you can use the button below. You'll need to enter your University email address, and then you'll be sent an email with a password reset link.

The link will expire after a while, but if that happens you can just generate a new password reset email using the same button below.

Step 3 – log in and purchase your membership

Once you've created your UofG Sport account and set a UofG Sport password, you must now log into that account using the button below and select Add a membership now.

If you're unsure of which membership to purchase, you can see all student membership options here.

To proceed with joining, please use the buttons below to complete each step.

Step 1 – create UofG Sport account

Step 2 – create UofG Sport password

Step 3 – log in and purchase membership

How do I join the gym as a UofG staff member?

UofG Sport staff memberships cost £23 per month for full access. You can pay for a year up-front (£276) or monthly via Payroll deduction or Direct Debit.

Staff Payroll Memberships are paid in arrears at the end of each month e.g. a salary deduction taken in September covers the September membership period. No upfront payment required. Membership can take 1-3 working days to activate.
Staff Direct Debit Memberships are paid in advance on (or around) the 15th of each month e.g. payment on 15th September covers the membership period from 15th September to 14th October (inclusive). No joining fee. Upfront pro-rata payment required to cover membership until first Direct Debit date. Membership activated immediately at point of purchase.

You can also add a Plus One to your Payroll membership via the UofG Helpdesk, with the Plus One's membership costing the same as yours i.e. £23 per month for one member, £46 per month for two members.

If you started employment at the University for the first time on or after 1st August 2022 you may be eligible for a free six-month New-Start membership (not applicable to Honorary/Affiliate staff) – more details here.

If you're an Honorary or Affiliate UofG Staff member, you can join us a GUConnect Affiliate member. This is a type of Community membership and is paid via Direct Debit – to join, please visit Front Desk at either of our locations.

Can I join the UofG Sport gym as a member of the public?

Yes, absolutely. You don't need to have any affiliation with the University of Glasgow to join the UofG Sport gym.

We have a range of Community membership options, which you can find out more about here.
