There are a ton of ways to stay active on campus, and a ton of places to go for a good workout!
THE BIRD-COOP – UBCs go-to gym!
- Cost: 30$/term for UBC students
- Pros: Really close to Gage, cheap membership and no contract
- Cons: Can get fairly crowded
UBC AQUATIC CENTRE
- Cost: Free for UBC students!
- Pros: Great place to go for a swim and the gym downstairs is usually pretty empty
- Cons: The gym doesn’t have a huge equipment selection
STUDENT REC CENTRE
- The SRC has a huge selection of activities to choose from to stay active, from drop in sports to various leagues to special events like Day of the Longboat and Storm the Wall.

ICE RINK (DOUG MITCHELL THUNDERBIRD SPORTS CENTRE)
