Students
Westway membership
students studying at White City Campus (Medical and Chemistry only) are eligible for gym membership at Westway Sports Centre.
Imperial student memberships
Regardless of which campus you are based at, all Imperial students can use any of our sports centre. Students have a choice of two memberships. Student memberships are valid from 1 September to 31 August. Read more about why we have introduced these changes and view our membership change FAQs.
Those wanting to use the gym and swimming pool at all times will need to purchase an annual student membership for £30 a year.
Students who don't want to use the gym or would only like to access the pool during off-peak hours can register as a 'Basic' member for free. This will give you access to the sports centre to use any of the pay-as-you-go facilites, such as classes or the Sports hall. Students who opt for basic membership will also be required to sign up annually.
Charges apply for all other activities. Please visit the Ethos prices page for detailed information about prices, opening hours and bookings.
