We are committed to creating opportunities, inspiring people and changing lives through sport and physical activity.

Our goal is simple: to get more people, more active, more often.

No matter our age, ability, or background, we all have one thing in common: the desire to live healthy, fulfilled, happy lives.

Sport Aberdeen is here to support you every step of the way with active programmes and sports sessions that will work for you as you invest in your health and fitness goals.

With over 30 venues across the city, we are the largest sport and leisure provider in the North East, offering unbeatable value for money with a unique fusion of fitness and community, where sport and physical activity is accessible to everyone.

Established in 2010, we are proud to manage and deliver physical activity, sport and leisure services on behalf of Aberdeen City Council and a number of other partners.

Creating Opportunities

We believe in supporting everyone to work towards putting health and wellbeing goals at the top of the list.

Whether you’re starting out on your fitness journey, or you’re already an avid fitness enthusiast or athlete, we are committed to supporting every single one of you to be the best version of yourself you can be and to inspire others along the way.

We’ll meet you where you are today. From the adrenaline highs of a fitness class to encouraging physical movement with our gentler exercise sessions, there’s something for everyone, no matter ability, age, or background.

Our goal for you is progression. Where you start doesn’t matter to us. We’re just happy you’re here.

Inspiring People

Every day, people across Aberdeen are using sport and physical activity to build confidence, improve their wellbeing, meet new people and feel better in themselves.

From gym members and fitness class regulars to walking football players, tennis groups, volunteers and community programme participants, Sport Aberdeen is proud to support people at every stage of their journey.

“You don’t need to have a physical goal, mentally it will make you feel better. There are loads of health benefits, getting fitter and feeling better within yourself. And you always go home in a better mood after going to the gym!”

Hayley, age 27

“It’s a huge benefit being able to use all the venues and have some variation with classes and times to suit. It’s a very friendly atmosphere.”

Cheryl, age 44

“You start chatting to people, instructors, other people in the class, and before you know it, you’re comfortable and building confidence. It’s great to see the different ages of people in the classes. The gym isn’t an age group, it’s for everyone.”

Changing Lives

Sport and physical activity can have a powerful impact on everyday life. It can improve physical health, support mental wellbeing, reduce isolation and help people feel more connected to their communities.

As a registered charity, we are focused on making those benefits accessible to as many people as possible. Every membership, booking and visit helps us continue to invest in services, facilities and programmes that support communities across Aberdeen.

By creating opportunities for more people to be active, we are helping to build a healthier, happier and more connected city.
