LJMU Sport Building
We, the Student Living and Physical Wellbeing Team manage the university's sports facilities and programmes to promote wellbeing and healthy lifestyles across campus. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where students can stay active, meet new people, and enjoy a variety of activities.
More than a gym
LJMU Move is the University's hub for fitness, wellbeing and physical activity. Shaped by more than five years of member feedback, our newly enhanced facilities bring together specialist training spaces, group exercise studios, inclusive programmes and supportive communities, creating opportunities for everyone to move, feel better and achieve their goals.
