Sir Tom Finney Sports Centre

Fantastic experience: Great place for a football tournament

Negative experience: Decent enough gym but no card no access rule is a bit dumb if they can check your identity on the computers. Doesn’t make any sense. They can check if you have a university pass and if you’re enrolled in the gym with visual verification that it’s actually you with a picture but you still can’t get in? Might just be because it’s too much effort checking the computers.

Fantastic experience: Love it here!

Fantastic experience: Excellent facility, we went for our daughters graduation, and the whole experience was fantastic. Well done, UCLAN, and thank you for making the day so special x

Fantastic experience: Brilliant Sports centre, clean and friendly staff. The rowing machines have been moved which is fine but they now face a wall instead of the window. It would be great if they were turned round so you don’t have to look at a wall while exercising. Everything else is great

Fantastic experience: A hidden gem of sports development right in the middle of Preston, just off the railway station. Wish I could come more often

Fantastic experience:

Fantastic experience: Awesome sports centre I come here with my kids. Thanks Simon

Fantastic experience: The free access to the university students makes this one of the best facilities provided for students. The courts are very nice and the gym is solid as well

Positive experience: Small for the size of the campus. Not as much equipment as I would hope, but enough to get the job done. There are staff always available for help if you need. Equipment that I would want to know that is missing: stepmaster/stairmaster, glute hyperextension bench, deadlift mat/area, no bumper plates (rubber ones), only one leg extension and curl, no assisted pull up machine, only one pull up rack. There are plenty of cable machines, benches, dumbbells, even squat racks. They also do not allow guests to purchase day passes.

Fantastic experience: Very organized and well equipped

Fantastic experience: It was truly phenomenal I was blown away by the experience

Fantastic experience: Great gym facility for students. Staff are friendly and helpful. Equipment is good quality and the space is clean.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and good place

Fantastic experience: My daughter's graduation ceremony was held here

Fantastic experience: Attended for graduation last week, the hall was spectacularly decorated and a wonderful space for the ceremony. Staff were helpful, polite and enthusiastic! Thanks to the team :-)

Fantastic experience: Great staff and atmosphere. Especially, Kaz

Fantastic experience: Were there for a graduation... Great Hall, high ceilings... Good amount of side doors..

Fantastic experience: Fantastic ❤ Venue

Fantastic experience: Lovely facilities, really welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Great gym - really helpful staff and a clean environment. More than one studio for classes so lots if choice. Only open to UCLan staff and students.

Positive experience: Poor parking facilities and not clearly marked where the disabled access was. Also could do with more dropped kerbs so wheelchair users can access the pavements. Disappointing considering the event was hosting wheelchair rugby! Once inside the building the facilities were good. Nice viewing area to watch the games.

Fantastic experience: Great Experience with all sorts of fun

Fantastic experience: Staff really friendly and helpful, the classes are amazing too! Wide range of machines and not too crowded with classes being spread out throughout the day.

Positive experience: Wonderful place

Fantastic experience: Very professional

Positive experience: A top notch sports centre

Fantastic experience: Good place for physical activities

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and staff, glad I got the opportunity to use the area even though my course isn't a fitness related one

Fantastic experience: Lovely…..

Fantastic experience: Staff really friendly and helpful!!

Positive experience: Hi, i do recommend people uclan gym , i love the music , the equipments, but I would suggest if it be 24 hours facility so that people can go to gym after studies or work . It could be great as well if the gym closes at 7 pm would be made to 10 pm instead.

Positive experience: It is a hugh hall with more than 1000+ crowd capacity. I attended my brother-in-law's graduation ceremony

Fantastic experience: It was amazing!

Negative experience: Lovely gym but why is music so loud it gives us headaches. People also want to listen to their own music not loud rock music for Chris sake. The music be on maximum like it’s night club it’s really annoying not motivating. New speakers that you added around the gym very unnecessary. Used to love gym but over the last 6 months everything went down. Do better

Fantastic experience: Great staff. Clean. Nice place to work out.

Fantastic experience: Excellent location for daughters graduation presentation well laid out with big screens to see all of the event

Positive experience: Went to watch dance comp here. Take a coat

Negative experience: I attended a dance competition on 5th Dec 2021 in the sports hall. The hall was absolutely freezing, not only for the spectators but also the dancers. It was totally unacceptable the temperature of the room. There was one person selling hot drinks and food at ridiculous prices and...only accepted cash. The toilets were not kept clean considering the amount of expected traffic as this was a ticket only event. Only one cubicle had toilet roll in and the others were not replenished throughout the day. Overall a very bad experience of Sir Tom Finney Sports Centre.

Positive experience: Clean,organized ,not bad

Positive experience: Great day out to the UCL science fair, plenty of interesting stuff and all for FREE! One word of advice, plan your visit, as the campus is quite spread out and some stuff is on at certain times, and there is literally loads of other things going on at each venue, it would easily take half a day (maybe a full day) to get around it all.

Fantastic experience: Good looking building inside - didn't go for sports just for a science event.

Fantastic experience: Best

Fantastic experience: They have a very good gym

Fantastic experience: Big sports centre starched to UCLAN. Friendly staff, good facilities, can get busy.

Fantastic experience: It's well lit, easily accessible to everyone and very welcoming inside and outside with signs located at each sports hall and different areas that are easy to read.

Positive experience: Attended my sons graduation. Would suggest that UCLAN use this from now on. It might not have the architecture of some places but that's not what we are there for. Also ideal place to have the the after ceremony drinks and photos.

Fantastic experience: Dlaughters graduation. The university made all the graduates that day very proud.

Fantastic experience: Very good centre went to my granddaughters graduation there

Fantastic experience: A wonderful venue for a Graduation Ceremony. I visited, in July 2019 and, was really impressed by the Venue, the attention to detail, the graphic design, the staging of the event; including great ushers, excellent filming ( used during the Ceremony so that everyone in the audience could see) the free bottles of water given to the audience ( on a hot day in July) the delightful Buffet including very thoughtful VEGAN food. Graduating Students were made to feel VERY special. Congratulations to everyone who helped to make a Degree Ceremony such a memorable, personal and special event.

Fantastic experience: Great facility for watching the activities that occurs in the sports hall as spectators can view what is going on from the canteen area or around the seats provided upstairs. I enjoyed the powerful showers after competing in my table tennis tournament.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff and they offer many classes ranging from yoga, spinning and weightlifting. Slightly limited workout equipment and the dumbells only go up to 40kg but for a gym thats is free for Uni students its pretty sick.

Fantastic experience: We had a tour inside the sports centre as part of the University applicant day and was very impressed with the facilities which are completely free for students attending uclan.

Fantastic experience: No gymtimidation and great for students in preston for casual fitness or more professional development with friendly staff

Negative experience: Two large sports hall and not a lot else, waste of time.

Fantastic experience: Rugby

Fantastic experience: Great gym
