According to Tbilisi City Hall, approximately 2,500 citizens aged 60 and above have used swimming pools and fitness halls free of charge since 2022 under the “Sports for the Elderly” program. The program has been implemented since October 2022 and aims to promote physical activity and a healthy lifestyle among the senior population.
Participants have free access to both municipal and private sports facilities. Due to high demand and the need to expand geographic accessibility, the City Hall periodically broadens the program and adds new public and private sports organizations to it.
The program is available to Georgian citizens who have been continuously registered in Tbilisi for at least the last six months and are 60 years old or older. Currently, the project operates in the Gldani and Nadzaladevi sports centers, the multifunctional centers in Didi Dighomi, Asatiani Street, and Varketili, as well as several private fitness facilities, including branches of the “Aspria Group” and “Sport Time.”
According to City Hall, the program significantly improves the quality of life for the older generation and promotes healthy living. The municipality says it is ready to cooperate with any sports facility that expresses interest in joining the program
