Fitness & Wellness

Keeping physically fit is an important part of mental, physical, and emotional health, UNYP encourages all of its students to stay active and utilize the Fitness & Wellness resources that are available to them.

Fitness & Wellness at UNYP

At the University of New York in Prague, we understand that academic success goes hand in hand with physical and mental well-being. That’s why all enrolled students receive free access to a range of gyms and wellness facilities throughout Prague—no additional membership required.

Whether you want to keep up your training routine, join a group fitness class, or unwind after lectures, UNYP supports your lifestyle with flexibility and convenience.

Free Gym Access Across Prague

UNYP students enjoy complimentary entry to a network of fully equipped gyms through our partnership with a well-established chain. These modern fitness centers are located throughout Prague, making it easy to find one near your home, campus, or favorite spots in the city.

What’s included:

Free use of cardio and weight training equipment
Access to group fitness classes, depending on location
Clean, well-maintained locker rooms and showers
Flexible access across multiple locations

There is no need to pay for a membership or register separately. Your student status at UNYP covers it.

Access to Swimming Facilities

In addition to gym access, UNYP students can also take advantage of free entry to the swimming pool at Aquacentrum Šutka, one of Prague’s most modern aquatic centers. This large public facility includes:

A 50-meter indoor pool suitable for lap swimming
A wellness area with a whirlpool and saunas
Additional recreation pools and water features

Swimming is a great way to stay fit, reduce stress, and add variety to your weekly routine. Like the gym access, pool entry is included as part of your UN
