Gyms, swimming pools and other leisure facilities across the north-east have thrown their doors open to fitness fans for the first time since they were shut due to the Covid-19 lockdown. Sport Aberdeen, the charity which runs several venues across the city, saw a total of 632 bookings for yesterday’s reopening. “We worked hard to make sure that our venues were safe, clean and ready to welcome our members back, and to have so many members return on the first day has been fantastic. Six key facilities have now been reopened by Live Life Aberdeenshire, with the rest opening their doors on a phased basis. The six currently available are Banchory, Banff, Fraserburgh, Stonehaven, Peterhead and Turriff, though people can still do outdoor fitness sessions at facilities that are currently closed.
