We join with the rest of the organisations in the city who are saddened to hear of the closure of the Doubletree Treetops Hotel and the 7 Health & Fitness Health Club. We want to see if we can help by offering employment opportunities and we would encourage the staff to get in touch in regards to vacancies that we have in our facility network across the city.

We also realise that many regular users have lost access to the fitness club, possibly having paid in advance, so we are offering the opportunity for people to transfer to a Sport Aberdeen Get Active membership. We will give everyone the first month free who wants to join us and there will be other benefits as we are keen to help people stay active.

We also understand many people will have lost access to swimming lessons and again will offer free introductory lessons for anyone who would like to transfer onto the Aquatics Aberdeen programme, run by Sport Aberdeen.

Alistair S. Robertson, Sport Aberdeen Managing Director, said: “Our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected and we hope our charity can offer some support, whether to staff or regular users of the 7 Health & Fitness Health Club and I encourage people to get in touch through our office.”

All those interested in talking to a member of the Sport Aberdeen HR team about potential employment opportunities should contact 01224 507704.

For all Get Active membership options please contact 01224 507711 and for enquiries into the Aquatics Aberdeen programme please call 01224 047934.

We encourage people to get in touch before the end of February.
