Facilities
The Gym
The gym is available to all JCR members and is equipped with a selection of treadmills, watt bikes and elliptical machines. There’s also a full rack of weights and other equipment.
The gym managers and their gym committee will run daily drop in sessions for those who haven’t completed their induction. Once inducted, you can retrieve the key at any time from the porters. Note that outside of drop in sessions, you must attend the gym with another inducted member - no one may use the gym alone.
Please report any breakages or suggestions to the gym managers or email castle.servicesmanager@durham.ac.uk!
Erg Room
The erg room has a collection of Concept2 rowing machines. The room is primarily used by the boat club but is available for all inducted JCR members. The key is available for sign out from the porters provided that you are with at least one other JCR member.

Toastie Bar
The toastie bar is a key location for college activity, serving as both a social and snacking space during most evenings. Nestled in the undercroft next to the JCR, the bar provides the college with a range of hot and cold snacks. It’s great for a late night snack and is an alternative space of The Undie (our college bar!).
