“This morning I spent some time visiting a few of our venues and it was great to see so many people continuing to #getactive and look after their health. It is still so important to look after our physical and mental health and wellbeing and Sport Aberdeen will be open so that we can keep supporting you to do so. We are, of course, following all national and industry guidance, to ensure that our venues continue to be safe for you to visit. Our fantastic staff are on hand to support you and answer any questions that you might have.

It was also reassuring to read new figures published this month by ukactive which confirmed that the number of positive COVID-19 cases among people who have visited gyms is at extremely low levels. As Huw Edwards, CEO of ukactive said “The fitness and leisure sector has gone above and beyond in its dedication to customer and staff safety, with laser-focused attention to high standards of cleanliness.” You can find more details here.

As we enter the final days of 2021 and head into the new year, you can be assured that Sport Aberdeen will be here to support you to safely get active.”
