The academic year is coming to an end and we're all looking forward to the summer ahead. So what are you going to do with your student fitness membership over the summer? Before you ditch the membership, hear us out, we have five top reasons why you should hold onto your membership whilst you're on summer break.
Summer Sports with friends and family
A student membership isn't just for personal fitness - it's the perfect opportunity to spend quality time with friends and family. This summer, an Oriam student membership gives you access to book Oriam's extensive sports activities, with a 20% discount!
At Oriam, there's a summer sport for everyone to enjoy, during the break from university life. Best of all, your guests don't need to be Heriot-Watt students, just bring them along to have fun! Whether you're in the mood for a friendly game of Tennis, a competitive match of Kwik Cricket or a group Cycling session in the sun, Oriam has you covered!
Make this a memorable summer on campus, with sport and sunshine and great company to go along with it!
Pre-Season Boost
Take your summer training to the next level at Oriam. Having a student membership is the perfect way to maintain athletic performance and allows you to build your own pre-season, to hit the ground running when the new competitive season begins.
This is the perfect time to reset and work on your personal strength and stamina. If you need a little extra support, we have Personal training, Sports Massage and Physiotherapy on site and your student membership can get you some sweet discounts on these services.
Looking to level up fitness? Why not book into a group exercise class? Classes like HYROX help to achieve fitness goals and push your limits in a supportive and motivating environment.
Social Boost
Summer is a great time to expand your social circle. Oriam's community sports and fitness classes offer the perfect opportunity to meet new people outside of your academic course or sports club. Engage with the vibrant Oriam community and make new friends while staying fit. Our circuits and Hyrox classes are popular options to challenge your physical fitness or something like Yoga and Pilates is more your style? All our classes are open to complete beginners, our instructors are super adaptable so everyone can enjoy the session at a level that is achievable for each participant.
Maintain Fitness Goals
After a stressful exam period, it's crucial to recharge your wellbeing. Keeping fit over the summer will prepare you to face the new term in September with renewed energy. Good fitness and stamina not only improve your physical health but also enhance your mental resilience and academic focus. Stay active and be ready to tackle the next academic year head-on.
Bonus: Quality and Unique Facilities
Oriam boasts some of the best fitness facilities in Scotland. From industry-leading gym equipment to spacious sports courts, you'll have access to everything you need for a great workout. Plus summer is a quieter period for our fitness facilities, so you can enjoy the gym without the usual hustle and bustle of term-time activity.
Graduating? Not quite ready to let go of student discounts?
A massive congratulations to all our new graduates for this summer. It's a time for lots of big changes, moving on from student life. Looking after your health and wellbeing can really support your resilience as you tackle a whole range of new experiences and big decisions after your studies.
One thing that you can keep the same is your favourite Oriam sports and fitness. If you're living or working near campus, you can move your membership to our Discount option as a Heriot-Watt Alumni!
