The Gym

The newly refurbished gym at Abertay University offers everything you need to meet your fitness goals.The gym has benefited from the introduction of new exercise equipment, ranging from new platforms and bars (including a safety squat bar and shrug bar) to Eleiko plates and a squat rack.

After Abertay Sport funded YMCA certified level 2 Fitness Instructor and Level 3 Personal Trainer training for 15 students, the gym can now also offer its members personal training and tailored exercise programmes.

The gym also has full shower and changing facilities and can be used between lectures and tutorials.

Gym membership can be purchased through the Make a Payment page or through the Student Enquiry Zone (located on the bottom floor of the library).

Gym Location

The gym is located on the ground floor of the Graham Building and can be accessed through Old College or from the bottom right corner of the rear car park.
