Don’t miss out on Wellbeing Week 2012 – few extra places released

Thanks to an overwhelming number of bookings most of the Wellbeing Week classes are now fully booked. We have released a few extra places on some of the classes due to cancellations but you must be quick as these will be snapped up.

If you haven’t had chance to book on anything yet, then don’t despair: there are still plenty of spaces left on softball, dodgeball and the free swim plus other activities. Or you can pop into the Wellbeing exhibition on Thursday 15 March from 11am to 3pm in University Place. There will be head, neck and shoulder massages, beauty treatments, health assessments and lots more.

Wellbeing Week is delivered through a partnership between various departments within the University and funded by Human Resources. Departments include SPORT, Counselling Service, Occupational Health, Equality and Diversity, UMSA, FoodOnCampus and others

Date for the diary - Manchester Bike Bash 2012!

Get on your bike and head down to University Place on Thursday 15 March for a cycling extravaganza! Come and test your balance and skill on the pump track, a continuous looped wooden track where pedalling is forbidden! Bikes, safety equipment and tuition will be provided so what are you waiting for? Come and have a go!

Other activities will be available on the day including virtual WATT Bike Racing, bike maintenance from Bicycle Boutique, bike marking from Security Services, campus bike hire scheme Biko Bikes and much, much more!

Get set for the weekend with Friday Zumba!

Exercising has never been this fun! Zumba is a fun and fast, calorie burning work out which is taking the world by storm! Why not get your weekend off to a flying start and drop in to this lunch time Zumba. 

The class takes place in the Wellbeing Room located in H11 in the Sackville Street building every Friday from 12 noon to 1pm.

No need to book just turn up but numbers are limited so places will be allocated on first come first served basis. The class is open to staff, students and members of the public for just £3.50 a session.
