Aliveness Gym Aberdeen

We are not a wrestling Gym, or MMA "fight club".

We are about helping people, and our goal is to offer the cutting edge in self defence together with combat athletics, fitness, and personal growth, to every type of human body that walks through our door.  Not just 23 Year old Athletes (although they will certainly find themselves feeling very at home here as well), but to professionals who have to work 40 hour weeks. To women of all ages. To older people, looking to get into shape, have fun, and learn self defence. To people who want to invest in themselves by learning something really useful in a positive atmosphere of friendship and fun.
