Fitness Suite
Sports and exercise have an important role to play in maintaining a healthy lifestyle and in order to promote and encourage the health and wellbeing of our students and staff, Aberdeen College provide excellent fitness and gym facilities at 2 of our centres.
At our Gallowgate Centre, located on the seventh floor of the tower block, our sports facilities are available to all staff and students at lunchtimes, evenings and at times when they are not being used by our sports students for their studies. There is a fitness suite with a range of Cardio Vascular Equipment and fixed and free weights and trained Gym Supervisors on hand to provide advice. There are also excellent changing facilities including showers and lockers.
