What is B:Active?

B:Active is a programme of regular social fitness and sport sessions, exclusively for students at the University of Bristol. It provides opportunities for all students, regardless of ability or experience, to get active in a social, enjoyable and welcoming environment.

Sessions include:

• Instructor-led group fitness classes
  
• Social and beginner sports sessions, led by our student Club Partners
• Women-only and LGBTQ+ sessions

How do I get involved?

Students do not need a membership to join a B:Active session. It is important to book your sessions in advance, via the Active App (recommended) or online.

What are Activators?

Sport Activators are a team of current students who work with us to ensure that B:Active sessions are a welcoming, enjoyable and accessible experience for other students.

Every B:Active session will be attended by at least one Activator, whose primary role it is to be a friendly face to new and returning participants. Activators will usually:

• Support equipment set-up before the session
• Welcome and register session participants
• Answer any questions attendees have before, during or after the session

Activators are also a key way that we ensure B:Active sessions are a positive experience for participants, by listening to any feedback and escalating it to the B:Active staff team.
