Forgot your wristband? Use your phone to check in for activities and bookings!
UOP Sport App changes to make your life easier
You’ve packed your bag the night before, towel, wash bag, change of clothes all in there, and you’ve even remembered your post-workout snacks. You get to the swim gates and realise you left your card or wristband at home - is there anything more frustrating? Well to remove that frustrating feeling we’ve teamed up with our app provider to give you a way to check in with your phone (somehow we never forget our phones).
The UOP Sport Mobile App can now be used to make your booking, check you in and open the gates. You can use the UOP Sport mobile app in two ways, firstly using NFC technology by tapping your phone near the symbol or secondly, using the QR code on each tile using the in-app scanner.
You can still use our existing options of access with your campus card, wristband, sticker or barcode but now with the option of the mobile app too.
You can use the app anywhere there is an access controlled point, think gym, swim, fitness classes, climbing wall and changing areas. We’re also encouraging you to check-in for your activity at the squash courts, sports hall and down at Langstone Sports Site.
As the UK’s most sustainable sports centre, we’re always trying to reduce our unnecessary usage of paper. Printing barcodes to provide access to users who have forgotten their card is one of the main single uses of paper throughout the facilities. Utilising technology that you already have on your phone seems to be a logical improvement to get you into your activity quicker.
If you have any trouble, our team are here to help support you as you get used to using the app in a different way
Download the UOP Sport app today to easily access and manage your bookings, whether you're a member or just visiting!
Stay connected with all our facilities, check in seamlessly, and make the most of every visit.
Are you using the Technogym App?
Over the summer we moved from the UOP Fitness app to the much smoother and faster Technogym app. Whether you’re a gym goer, swimmer or fitness class enthusiast the app is great for keeping all your data in one place. If you use apps that track your workouts such as through an Apple watch, Fitbit or another activity tracker, Strava, Garmin or Map My Run for any activities outside of the gym all of this can be tracked in the Technogym app.
You can enter challenges simply by tracking your workouts and collecting MOVE’s. What is also great is there are tonnes of workout ideas, programmes and activities you can do in the gym or at home.
If you haven’t already transfer to the new app using the following link to set up the new Technogym app. For more information and to discover 5 benefits of using the Technogym app, check out this handy guide.
