Whether you are a fitness fanatic or just looking to stay healthy, the University of Pretoria offers two quality fitness facilities suited for just about everyone.
Tuks’s High Performance Centre (HPC) hosts the Sports Science Gym, which is home to state-of-the-art equipment and facilities.
Located on Tuks’s Sports campus, the centre offers members a number of services. These include assessments and personalised training programmes by experienced fitness and health experts.
The HPC is open seven days a week. Between Mondays and Fridays, it is open between 05:30 and 20:30. It is open between 07:00 and 13:00 on Saturdays and between 07:00 and 12:00 on Sundays.
The Tuks Student Gym (TSG), also located on Tuks Sport campus, is the more affordable option when compared to the HPC, but still offers members access to quality workout facilities, including access to a personal trainer. The gym offers reasonable membership fees with student and non-student prices.
Members can pay monthly or make a once-off payment. Monthly debit order billing is also available. If you join after January and pay the once-off amount, you can expect to have R100 will be deducted off the full amount for every month in the year that has passed.
TSG also reserves special discount prices for national and provincial athletes, who pay R60 and R100 per month, respectively.
The two establishments operate separately from one another, but complement each other by catering for a diverse variety of people from the surrounding area.
