Big UL Sport Welcome to our unique and exciting World of Sport and Recreation at the University of Limerick. The infamous Latin phrase ‘Mens Sana in Corpore Sano’ which is located in the UL Sport Arena foyer outlines our commitment to you by encouraging you to be active and develop ‘A Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body’ during your stay with us on Ireland’s Sporting Campus. Our mission is to actively encourage you to find the perfect life balance that will help you achieve your educational objective while at the same time assisting you to improve your quality of life through our exciting extra-curricular programmes and activities. Our major claim to fame is that we have designed a unique Sports Specific Environment that allows the ‘Basic Beginner and the Olympic or International Athlete’ to achieve their exercise goals in the same sporting facility and at the same time each working at their own intensity level but in harmony. Our aim is to be Number One and to offer the best programmes to complement the best range of facilities available on any University Campus in the world. Our journey is exciting and you get to experience the sporting benefits of the road we have travelled.

This year we embarked on a major upgrading of our sports facilities that will enhance the quality of your experience on Campus. Three major infrastructural projects have just been completed for everybody’s benefit. The upgrading of Ireland’s first 50m Olympic size Swimming Pool is now completed as well as the total upgrading of the outdoor 400m International Athletic Track. However, a major benefit to all through your sporting lives is the addition of the ‘Maguire’s Field’ team sport facility that will bring University Sport onto the next level. This UL student initiated project is now in place for every college squad to enjoy and flourish which even allows for recreational team sports on a regular basis. The facilities and the exciting programmes have been professionally developed specifically for YOU to enjoy but you have to make the initial move to be part of this fantastic Active and Healthy UL Campus. Please join the Healthy Campus revolution to improve the quality of your life by taking an active part in your personal wellbeing. David Mahedy Director, UL Sport & Recreation

We have a LOT of group fitness going on at UL Sport Arena including a variety of globally successful fitness programmes, in addition to some which are unique to UL Sport. Generally people attend a class because the time suits, that’s why nearly all our classes are multi-level. You will find that our instructors will provide options and modifications in all classes. You work at your own level. Our participants get results much quicker in our group formats, rather than working out alone.
Beginners are always welcome and can start anytime. It’s really important to try to arrive at least ten minutes prior to the class start time, to allow time for adequate set up and/or to inform the instructor that you are new to the class. Our instructors are highly trained, motivated and educated, with many travelling for continuous education, so you will be in safe hands With over Seventy Classes per week, we update our timetable weekly, so you can check it out online at www. ulsport.ie or pick up a copy at UL Sport Arena Reception.

CHAMPIONS ZONE #nofilter WORLD UNIVERSITY GAMES (WUG) This multi-sport event, which takes place every two years, is the second biggest sporting event to the Olympics and UL is very fortunate over the past number of years to have students selected to represent UL & Team Ireland at these Games. Our most recent success saw Thomas Barr win Gold in the 2015 WUG in Gwangju, South Korea in 400m hurdles! Thomas then went on the following summer to reach the final of this same event in the Rio Olympics- although placing 4th at that time he was crowned the 4th fastest athlete in the world such was the enormity of his run and fastest ever, Irish athlete, for 400m hurdles. Words of advice from Thomas – “Never give up on your sporting dream, the experience of my first multi-sport event, the 2015 World University Games, prepared me for the biggest sporting stage of my life, the 2016 Rio Olympics and for this I will always be truly grateful…. Next stop Tokyo 2020”. 52
