Robert Gordon University Gym, Aberdeen
Although originally beginning life as a gym where students could improve physical fitness or study health and wellbeing, RGU is now open to Hussle members and pass holders.
A student gym at its core, this is one of the best gyms in Aberdeen because it isn’t just a gym; it’s a place where you can learn at the same time as you work out.
The RGU is situated on Garthdee road, Aberdeen, where you can take advantage of the free parking. Opening hours are from 6 am – 10 pm every weekday and from 9 am – 7pm on weekends.
Facilities here include a crystal clear 25m swimming pool which is open to families at the weekend, 3 different gym suites with state of the art equipment, interactive media centres complete with an online training system, personal trainers, group classes, and even a climbing wall.
This is an Aberdeen gym focused on the young and adventurous. It’s also a great place to get some personal training or to take part in group fitness classes.
The Aberdeen Altens Hotel Health and Fitness Club
Another contender for best gym in Aberdeen is the upmarket offering found at The Altens Hotel. This is an Aberdeen health club which caters to tourists and visitors as well as our discerning Hussle members.
Opening times for The Aberdeen Altens Health Club are 06:30 until 22:00 week days and 07:00 until 21:00 every weekend.
If you are looking for a posh work out in the city, we can’t recommend it enough.
This newly refurbished gym comes with its own indoor pool and spa. It has a steam room, and they give swimming lessons, which is nice. Not all of us reach adulthood able to swim.
They have a beauty therapist and often see wedding parties passing through, which gives you an idea of the high class amenities found in this gym.
Aberdeen health clubs don’t get any better than this.
You will find The Altens on Souterhead Road but remember to book in advance. The hotel has parking onsite, too.
The Village Gym, Aberdeen
Those looking for a welcoming health club that is out of the city centre, should head to Kingswells, just off the A944 and check out The Village Gym.
They have their own 20m heated swimming pool and great facilities onsite – including a sauna/steam room. The Gym is equipped with the latest in running, climbing, rowing, and cardio machines.
The facilities here are well maintained and high end. There are forty spin bikes and classes are run from the Village Gym.
Aberdeen residents can take yoga, Zumba, or boxercise group fitness classes here as well as personal training at extra cost.
It is not just a gym offline, either. They have On Demand fitness from home and a full Technogym, too.
The Village Gym is open 7 days a week. They open from 5 am – 11 pm, Monday to Friday, and 7am – 9 pm on weekends. You can get 4 hours of free parking as a Hussle member, but otherwise this chain gym charges for parking.
We recommend The Village for those who want a luxurious gym experience and who are serious enough about going to ensure they will get the most out of it.
