Did you know that Sussex Sport runs four, staff-only fitness classes every week at Active Arches?

The classes are free to attend for Sussex Sport gold and silver members, or you can book places on a pay-as-you-go basis for only £5.

Check out the staff-only schedule below. All the classes are suitable for beginners and take place in the Active Arches, next to the Student Centre.

Staff only class schedule

Small weights workout with Ria – Mondays and Wednesdays, 1:05pm – 1:50pm

Staff focused weights class focusing on strengthening the whole body for everyday life. Lifting, pushing, pulling, and strengthening the core using kettlebells, dumbbells, medicine balls, powerbags and more. All abilities welcome as there will be options for all. 

Yoga slow flow with Hannah – Tuesdays and Thursdays, 1:05pm – 1:50pm

Slow flow yoga is a gentle and mindful practice designed to help you move with intention, awareness, and ease. In this class, we flow through a series of postures at a slower, more deliberate pace, allowing time to connect each movement with breath.

The slower rhythm encourages deeper body awareness and a calm, focused mind. Each class will begin with some gentle breathing, followed by a slow movement sequence and finish with ten minutes of relaxation.
