Local charity, Sport Aberdeen, has strengthened its presence in the south of the city with the addition of Get active @ Lochside.

The brand new fitness and sports complex which includes a swimming pool, is located within the newly developed £47 million Lochside Academy. Get active @ Lochside is ideally located for residents of Torry, Kincorth, Nigg and Cove areas of the city and hopes to attract commuters heading south after working in the city.

David Selkirk, Sport Aberdeen’s Director of Community Leisure Operations said:

“Get active @ Lochside is a fantastic, modern facility and we are delighted to be running the centre on behalf of Aberdeen City council.

“The new facility strengthens Sport Aberdeen’s offering in the south of the city and is a great community facility.”

The purpose built sports complex boasts a fully equipped gym, 25 metre swimming pool, two large multi activity sports halls and a range of fitness classes including Les Mills. Get active @ Lochside also includes a dance studio, educational room and a number of outdoor facilities including three 7-a-side 3G pitches.
