Exercising at UM SPORTS for SenUM members
As a member of SenUM you can (continue to) exercise at a reduced rate at UM SPORTS, the sports department of Maastricht University (UM). Below you will find more information about the sports on offer (for seniors) and how to become a member of UM SPORTS.
Sports activities
UM SPORTS offers over 60 different sports. Basically, you can join all activities or exercise independently in the gym. Special senior workouts are also regularly held there under the guidance of an instructor. You can find the complete sports programme online at MyUSC.
Senior group classes
UM SPORTS offers several group classes for seniors. Currently we offer these groupsclasses for seniors:

Yoga
- Guided fitness (Senior Gym Workout)
- Spinning (indoor cycling)
The current class schedule can always be found in MyUSC.
Membership types
UM SPORTS has different types of memberships, depending on the type of sport you want to do. For group classes, for example, you need a 'SPORTS' membership. If you only want to work out independently and/or join the Senior Gym Workout, you need a 'GYM' membership.
On this page you can find an overview of all membership types and what you can do with them.
Rates SenUM members
UM SPORTS applies different rates for different types of members and distinguishes between 4 categories. For example, UM students (category 1) and UM employees (category 2) pay less than external members with no relation to UM (category 4). SenUM members are eligible for a reduced rate and fall into 'category 3'.
Furthermore, you can choose a monthly, semester or annual membership. Please note that UM SPORTS's opening hours and memberships are related to an academic year. For example, a semester membership is valid until 31 January and a year membership until 31 August. For example, if you take out an 'annual membership' in April, you will in fact only become a member for a few months (until 31 August).
How can I become a member?
To qualify for the reduced category 3 rate and thus become a member of UM SPORTS, you need to take the following steps:
- Ask the secretary of SenUM (marypeters@senum.nl) for a written confirmation of your SenUM membership.
- Go to MyUSC and conclude the desired membership there.
If you have any questions about taking out your subscription, you can always contact the staff at the UM SPORTS desk.
Organising other activities
