Scottish Women and Girls in Sport Week 2026
Research from sportscotland highlights that women participate in sport and physical activity at lower levels than men and identifies confidence, body image and male-dominated environments as key barriers.
Women-only sessions are a recognised approach across the sport and leisure sector to help address these barriers and encourage participation.
Female RGU Sport members and members of the public are encouraged to come along to Her Night, experience our gym facilities, and have fun taking part in physical activity.
