Tbilisi City Hall reported that approximately 2,500 Tbilisi residents aged 60 and above have benefited from free access to swimming pools and fitness facilities since the launch of the municipality’s ‘Sports for the Elderly’ program in October 2022.
The initiative, designed to promote physical activity and healthier lifestyles among senior citizens, provides participants with complimentary access to both municipal and selected private sports facilities across the capital.
The program currently operates at the Gldani and Nadzaladevi sports centers, as well as multifunctional sports complexes in Didi Dighomi, Asatiani Street and Varketili. In addition to municipal venues, several private fitness providers are involved in the initiative, including branches of Aspria Group and Sport Time.
City Hall states that the program has seen consistently high demand. In response, the municipality has been gradually expanding its geographic coverage and incorporating additional public and private sports organizations to improve accessibility for seniors in different districts of the city.
To qualify, participants must be Georgian citizens aged 60 or older who have been continuously registered in Tbilisi for at least six months prior to enrollment.
