Get active @ Beach Leisure Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Going to be sad to see the place coming to a end. Hopefully what comes after will not be too many years away. I am fearful that could be as much 10 15 years before see anything.
Fantastic experience: Please don't close it. Where would we roller skate?
Positive experience: Gym facility perfect just the changing rooms and sauna a bit dated
Fantastic experience: I am there almost every day in winter. It's a good and friendly place.
Fantastic experience: Good gym, have used it for a couple of years and the Sport Aberdeen price is pretty good considering you get swimming pools too. The new addition of Sauna / Steam room is cool after a workout. If any improvements could be made I would say better ventilation or at least blinds for the top part of the gym as the sun that belts through the glass roof in the summer is a killer when you're working out, also, maybe another squat rack. Overall, it's a good place for your gym, staff always friendly / up for banter, and usually always get parked outside.
Fantastic experience: Insta: michaelqmul Always amazing to be at the beach by leisure centre . Get active got very friendly staff and I could highly recommend it to anyone. I always feel welcome there and for that I would like to say thank you guys.
Positive experience: Alright gym. The ventilation is not the best. When it's summer and 25C outside. The heat inside the gym is pretty bad.
Negative experience: Surprisingly closed
Fantastic experience: Really good swiming facilities
Negative experience: Totally dissapointed. Today I wanted to go to this swimming pool with 2 children, but it was not for me because it closed at 15.30, even though the opening hours on the website are until 22.00. It is not written anywhere, and the Lady who told me this was very rude. I also called in the morning to ask how many tickets are there, and in this case, too, no one told me that the swimming pool is closed at 3.30pm. This is just unbelievable.
Positive experience: Its OK. Very busy, always a queue for showers, and it could be cleaner/ more modern. It could also have more features inside but all in all, its OK.
Fantastic experience: Near the beach and all new equipment to get your fitness back on track
Fantastic experience: Not too busy and plenty of equipment, would have liked a short walk along the prom but too windy.
Fantastic experience: Busy in Sunday, clean and friendly.
Fantastic experience: انا ساحل ابردين مكان هادئ وجميل
Positive experience: Starting to look dated
Positive experience: We were in pool. Kids had fun.
Negative experience: About the pool. It's okay for children up to age 10 maybe. It's quite small for the amount of people there were and It was hugely overcrowded, so all you can really do is try to avoid being kicked or hit with foam noodles. The flumes don't work either. This was the first and last time I'll ever go to this pool.
Negative experience: Would be better if the staff got the hall ready on time instead of relying on the paying customer to do their work for them , I.e. kick out the previous customers, clean up their mess, remove the furniture and set up the goals
Fantastic experience: No complaints, staff very courteous as always and very helpful ,a great experience
Fantastic experience: We just used the pool and enjoyed the waves and rapids and water slides. There is also a gym and cafe
Positive experience: A good place when it comes to fitness and sports indoors.Booking is quite straightforward and the people who work there are very nice.
Positive experience: brilliant place just a pity flumes are more closed than open
Fantastic experience: Had a lovely day in the leisure centre Swimming pool it was lovely and warm in the water also big wave fun
Fantastic experience: The best gym in town. Excellent facilities. Amazing sessions of gym, swimming, and others. Wonderful Customer Service. Nearby the beach.
Negative experience: Absolutely ridiculous. The facilities are fantastic but you cannot book more than 3 days in advance if you are not a member. You must purchase several passes to use the different facilities. For example you cannot use the gym if you haven't purchased the seperate membership for it and the same goes for the swim facilities, you cannot use the swim if you haven't paid for the seperate membership. There isn't an umbrella pass and there isn't ever enough space and they membership is very expensive. As for Customer service all they can do is apologise as most of the bookings are taken by members online. Don't waste your time or money until they revise the restrictions and don't bother eating your money on the seperate membership passes as it only encourages them.

Hi Jax, Thank you so much for your positive feedback. We are glad you had a good time and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Positive experience: Very overcrowded at times and actually not that many public sessions available.
Positive experience: Good swimming pool, a little crowded but plenty of fun for the kiddies
Negative experience: When I went to the beach leisure in aberdeen, the website said that all of the water slides, Rapids and waves would be active though when I went in the pool none of these were on. The staff didnt control how many people could enter the pool making the pool extremely crowded and uncomfortable to be in as everyone was so close to each other. I rated this as a one star because they had poor control of the pool and bad control of people entering the pool at once. Overall this place I would describe as dirty horrible and poorly controlled.
Hi Dareen, Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry that upon your visit the expected features as advertised were not on, and the standards expected have fallen below what we aim to achieve. If you would like to contact us directly at [email protected] we can contact you directly to discuss the matter further. Kind Regards Beach Leisure Centre management team

Positive experience: I take my kids to this pool for lessons. The teachers are great and there is lots of space and a cafe upstairs.

Positive experience: Amazing for lots of occasions. Came here with friends. Brilliant slides and a wave machine. Pool for little kids too.
Fantastic experience: Was brilliant kids enjoyed it plus plenty to do
Positive experience: Decent play swimming pool.
Fantastic experience: Super lindo. Muy limpio el lugar y muy seguro para pasear por los alrededores
Fantastic experience: Nice pool kids enjoyed the flumes. Watch out for the wipeout flume grown up daughter's costume showed a lot of cheek as she came out lol (super wedgie). Main pool was good with wave machine and rapids but not for the keen swimmer. You need to go to another pool for that.
Fantastic experience: Great to take the kids to burn off some energy. Clean facilities.
Positive experience: Could be doing with a overhaul bring it up to today's high standards but saying that it's clean water is warm.. ish has disabled access which is good small cafe but there are places to eat all around the area would recommend small kids go out with the wave machine being active kids over 5 would love the flumes and waves tho
Negative experience: No es que sea muy bonita..
Positive experience: I take my kids swimming here quite regularly. For 15 quid for 1 Adult and 2 kids you get a wave machine on the hour every hour, rapids every 15 minutes and access to 4 water slides. There is a smaller slide for younger kids. Under 8s must go with a parent. Then there are the 3 bigger slides. The first takes you down on a rubber ring and is a nice relaxing drift downhill. The second called pipeline is a bit faster than the kids slide but not enough to raise your blood pressure. For thrill seekers there is the wipe out which is almost vertical.
Fantastic experience: Went swimming, was fun.
Fantastic experience: Fun day out
Fantastic experience: It's a great gym

Fantastic experience: Awesome place for family
Positive experience: Good popl amd games hall
Negative experience: An ok pool quite dirty though. Visible rust on metal bars and dirty steps going up to the free flume. The fountain that shoots water goes on for about two seconds then turns off, Jacuzzi closed and a bit overcrowded.

Fantastic experience: It is a very nice place to swim or do other sports. The place is very clean and organised . At the gim you can find a lot of options.
Positive experience: Splash pool
Positive experience: Great time to be had, but it's very busy!
Positive experience: The swimming pool is small and while I was there it was very crowded (1pm on a Saturday). They do have good changing facilities with both larger cubicles for parent and baby to get changed comfortably and a family changing room. They have lockers of a decent size to keep your items in that require a £1 to lock (the £1 is returned). The showers can sometimes be too warm but are adequate to wash yourself but they are not private, there is no where to put a young child or baby down while you wash yourself. Staff are friendly and helpful.
Positive experience: Great couple of hours with the kids. Not like other pools where you can't go down the flume's with the bearns

Negative experience: Changing rooms smelt of strong urine

Positive experience: It's a funny day out if your visiting aberdeen but if you have lived there all your life it tends to get a little bit boaring
