Supported Fitness Sessions
TeamUCL are offering four free 1-2-1 gym induction sessions to all UCL students with a disability, in the TeamUCL Gym. This year round programme can be accessed at any point during Term 1, 2 and 3, by students with any sort of disability, such as mental health conditions, physical and sensory impairments, and neurodivergence.
Student feedback: "I was a complete beginner when it came to the gym and felt quite nervous. But from the first check-in all the way through the four sessions, the team was so patient, friendly and supportive, which made a huge difference. It also gave me the confidence to push myself in other areas of my life, I even went on to take part in the UCL Students’ Union election!"
The sessions will be run by Joe (he/him), Sung Jae (he/him) and Conor (he/him), our Fitness Instructors, who will directly support you to keep active using the gym.
Gender Inclusion Hub
TeamUCL are committed to enabling students to take part in sport and exercise as their authentic selves. The Gender Inclusion Hub serves that aim by helping trans and non-binary students find activity for them.
The Hub has details of gender neutral changing spaces, guidance on our sports clubs, and avenues for support, like our elected officers and the Gender Expression Fund.
