Supported Fitness Sessions

Banded coaching image

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.

The sessions will be run by Faiza (she/her) and Joe (he/him), our permanent Fitness Instructors, who will directly support you to keep active using the gym.

Gender Inclusion Hub

Pride in TeamUCL.

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.

TeamUCL Wheelchair Basketball Club

Want to try a beginner friendly sport that's open to everyone? Join Basketball Club (Wheelchair)!

We’re a brand-new society welcoming everyone - whether you have a disability or not. Our goal is to create a welcoming and inclusive community while enjoying the sport and raising awareness for disability sport at UCL.

No experience? No problem! We provide sports wheelchairs and basketballs, so all you need to bring is yourself, some comfortable clothes and a bottle of water!
