AKR Fitness has been announced as the Education Sponsor for the Aberdeen Health & Wellbeing Festival, returning to the Beach Ballroom on January 10, 2026 for its fifth year.
The festival has grown into one of the North East’s leading wellbeing events, bringing together local businesses, national brands and community organisations to help people explore practical ways to improve their physical, mental and emotional health.
As Education Sponsor, AKR will support the programme of talks and workshops throughout the day.
Mike MacDonald, Founding Director of AKR Fitness, said:
“It’s fantastic to see the Aberdeen Health & Wellbeing Festival continue to grow. As Education Sponsor, we’re proud to support an event that brings people together to learn, move and invest in their wellbeing.”
As part of the programme, Mike will deliver The Truth About Change — a session that challenges common fitness clichés and looks at why progress isn’t simply about trying to be more motivated, but about understanding the deeper forces that drive real, lasting change.
Festival co-founders Sarah Stewart and Dr Emma Windle added:
“We’re delighted to welcome AKR Fitness as our Education Sponsor. Their people-first approach fits the ethos of the festival, and Mike’s session adds meaningful depth to this year’s programme.”
The festival also features a full schedule of talks, demonstrations and interactive sessions from a wide range of experts, alongside activities, exhibitors and community partners.
