A healthy lifestyle provides many benefits as a student. Give your body and brain a jog and keep those essays sharp, or simply come and cure those hangovers in the spa facilities! Here’s a top guide on how girl math your way into a better lifestyle, and not at the expense of the things you enjoy.
SAME CAFFEINE, CUT THE COST
We know… you’ve heard this all before. ‘Skip your coffee a day and you’ll save a fortune’. There is some truth in this. As of May 2024, the average price of a takeaway coffee in the UK was around £3.40 per cup, which is for your basic non-frills americano or latte. Want that Venti vanilla latte with oat milk? That’ll set you back a fair bit extra.
But, we know students need their fuel. Grab yourself a coffee machine that makes espresso (even pod ones for ease) which cost around £30, giving you homemade espresso for as little as 22p a coffee, so basically free, right? You could save over £100 a month this way, alone more than enough to allow you to splash on out some self improvement. PLUS, if you want to reward yourself for sticking to those workouts, or just fancy a treat, we have Starbucks on-site for those extra tough days.
DRESS SMARTER, NOT HARDER
If you find yourself stuck in a cycle of fast fashion, can’t keep up with the trends and have a wardrobe FULL of things you just don’t wear - whittle down your wardrobe. You don’t have to start throwing out all of your belongings, but be more mindful when making your next purchases. Stick to basic items, that you know you can pair with multiple items you already own, before you know it, you’ll have the ability to mix and match everything in your wardrobe, and barely wear the same thing twice! Want some new gym gear too? Stick to basic, neutral colours instead of bright or patterned sets, this way you’ll never have to worry about what has been washed that week!
GOT GRUB GUILT?
Tend to buy a lot of unplanned takeaways? We’ve all been there, you wake up worse for wear after student night, all you want is dinner delivered to your door. Be prepared, save yourself the expense AND the wait! Know your habits and when you are most likely to do this, and grab yourself easy-to-prepare food for the next day, trust us. Also as a member with us, you also get 25% OFF in the pub and grill for when your tastebuds deserve some partying too!
STUDENT SAVINGS
As a student, you get access to SO many memberships and discounts across brands. We also offer a discount and rewards scheme when you join us! Village Rewards lets you SAVE and EARN at the same time, letting you access super deals across high street brands, whilst also allowing you to earn points when you do splash out on something for yourself. It’s a win win!
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
By now, you should have enough over the month to cover the cost of one of our already discounted savvy student memberships, and probably then some! Come and reap the rewards and get your gym on, wind down in a whirlpool or expand your social circle in a class or special member event - There’s even more to us that you’d think.
