Sports and Fitness

Whether you’re a team player or a loner, Palmerston North offers a wide range of sport and fitness activities and facilities.  Keen athletes will be impressed with the all weather, world class Athletics track, while sporting enthusiasts will be equally enthusiastic about Arena Manawatu and the Adidas Institute of Rugby.

Four public swimming pools, one equipped with a gym and a fun park, enable students to stay fit and have fun at a discounted price.  For cyclists, cycles can be hired from local businesses or, alternately, the Green Bike Trust provides free bikes and helmets for everyone to borrow. If walking is more your style, Palmerston North is home to some of the most beautiful heritage walkways available.

From shooting to martial arts, international students of all ages and abilities will be able to maintain a healthy balance in lifestyle during their studies.
