Welcome to MOVE

MOVE is designed to get you involved in activities that help you feel good and be active. There are a huge variety of classes and more than 100 weekly sessions. With so many different sessions available, you can try something new, take time to relax and meet lots of new people. 

MOVE is free for all UWE Bristol students and is brought to you by UWE Bristol Sport and The Students' Union at UWE. 

We also welcome UWE Bristol staff and members of our local community. Booking is flexible and we offer a range of membership options.  

View the up-to-date timetable on the UWE Bristol Sport app where you can also book your slot. Follow us on Instagram @uwebristolmove.

MOVE and Disability History Month

As part of Disability History Month, we have highlighted a selection of UWE Bristol MOVE sessions that demonstrate the different ways you can be active and support your physical and mental wellbeing.

Activities have been chosen to showcase a range of accessible, adaptable and confidence-building opportunities, recognising that disability, health conditions and individual needs can affect how people experience and participate in physical activity.

The programme includes:

These sessions offer different ways to get involved, from seated and lower-impact activities to strength, swimming, wellbeing and technology-based experiences, helping to reinforce that being active can look different for everyone.
