Reopening of Walsall Campus sport facilities

Please be aware that this information was shared with students by email and correct at the time of sending. For the latest Covid-19 guidance, please visit our coronavirus webpages: www.wlv.ac.uk/coronavirus. If you are a student who has a query or needs support, please log a helpcall with ASK@WLV in e:Vision (www.wlv.ac.uk/evision).

In line with the gradual easing of restrictions as part of the Government roadmap, we are pleased to announce that indoor gym facilities at Walsall Campus have now reopened.

Opening hours are Monday to Friday, 7 am to 10 pm, and 8 am to 6 pm on weekends. Please be aware that the swimming pool will not be reopening. 

Bookings for gym sessions and exercise classes can be made on our brand new WLV Sport app, available to download from the App Store or Google Play. Once downloaded, current members should click “my bookings” then “login”. Enter the email address you provided when you joined and click “forgot password”. You will then receive an email with further instructions. New members can click “join now” to get started. Alternatively, members and non-members can also make a booking by calling 01902 518900 within our opening times. Members can make bookings up to 8 days in advance, and non-members can make bookings up to 7 days in advance.     

In line with government guidance, exercise classes will take place outdoors (weather permitting), and a list of these classes can be found on the WLV Sport app.  

The safety and wellbeing of our students, staff and local community customers remain our highest priority, and work has been carried out to ensure that the gym and sports facilities meet all relevant guidance to ensure your safety. Given the small size of the City Campus gym, it is not possible at present to implement social distancing measures that meet safety requirements. An update will be issued to students and customers of the gym should this change.   

Throughout April, WLV Sport is continuing to roll out challenges as part of their #BucsActive4 project. You can find out more about how to get involved with the latest two challenges here: WLV Sport Challenge: April 2021
