Newnham has its very own rooftop gym, which is free to use for all Newnhamites! It includes a range of cardio and strength training equipment, much of which is equipped with pre-set training routines which can be accessed through an app. The gym is card-access only - in order to gain card access, you will need to undergo an induction session, so keep an eye on your email inboxes at the beginning of term to sign up for this. Inductions are organised by the JCR.
For those who may not find the college gym convenient, or who want to get involved in specific classes or trainings, there are lots of other gyms and facilities in Cambridge, many of which offer student memberships:
The Newnham College Boat Club (NCBC) has a an excellent reputation in rowing, and was the first college to participate in women’s rowing when it started at the university. NCBC welcome novices (those who have never rowed before) and experienced rowers – for information on joining please see the NCBC website
Newnham is lucky enough to have on-site sports facilities; we have sports fields, netball courts, tennis course and the gym! The tennis courts can be booked by any member of the college and the MCR has some sports equipment that can be loaned to any MCR members. The JCR and MCR run classes for students at Newnham during term time. In the past this has included Zumba and Yoga, but varies from year to year. These are a fantastic way to keep healthy and meet people at college, and they are very reasonably priced! Information about any such classes will be shared via e-mail and on social media. For more information about sport at Newnham please see the main college website, or email the MCR committee if you're interested in starting something new!
