Booking a Group Fitness Class

15 May 2026

From waiting lists to cancelling, find out about booking a group fitness class at UC Rec & Sport.

HOW TO APPLY
How to Book a Class via the Technogym App
  • Open the Technogym app
  • Select UC Rec & Sport from the bottom menu
  • Tap the Class Booking tab at the top
  • Choose your day and browse available classes
  • Find your class, tap Book — you’re in!

Tip: Use filters to quickly find specific classes.

Bookings are required. Our Group Fit Commit system applies to all class bookings (see our Cancellation Policies Here).

Alternatively, you can book via our website on the Timetables page using the same login as the app.

 

Group Fit Commit System

We want everyone to have a fair chance to attend classes - especially when they’re in high demand.

What you need to do:

  • Commit to the classes you book, or
  • Cancel at least 30 minutes before class starts

If you don’t show up

  • You’ll receive a penalty notification
  • If you receive 2 penalties within 7 days:
    • You’ll be blocked from pre-booking classes for 7 days

Still want to attend while blocked?

  • You’re welcome to come in and:
    • Check availability at reception before class
    • Be booked in if there’s space
  • Please allow at least 10 minutes before class, as it can get busy

Important reminders

  • Make sure you are checked in by the instructor when attending
  • Enable Technogym notifications to stay updated
  • Add classes to your calendar to avoid missing them

If something unexpected happens and you miss a class, email
reccentre@canterbury.ac.nz - our team can review penalties.

 

Can I Join a Class Without Booking?
  • Booking ahead is strongly recommended for all Group Fitness Classes, especially for:
    • Limited classes (SkillRun, SkillX, Spin)
    • Popular sessions like Pilates
  • If you haven’t booked:
    • You can try your luck if there’s space but see reception upon arrival
    • Our team will add you if spots are available
  • On the waitlist?
    • Come along anyway spaces sometimes open due to no-shows
    • But always have a backup plan, just in case

 

How Does the Waitlist Work?
  • If someone cancels, you’ll receive a notification or email (based on your app settings)
  • It’s first-in, first-served - not based on your position on the list
  • Be quick - the first to book gets the spot
