Staying Fit While On Vacation in Tulum
You’ve been hitting the gym and eating healthy for weeks. You bought that new swimsuit you liked, and now you’re finally ready to show off those abs on a tropical beach.
But moving our bodies and following a healthy lifestyle is not something we should only be doing in preparation for our holidays (and all the delicious meals we know we’re going to indulge in). Even on vacation, we must dedicate time to our bodies and minds to feel healthy, strong, and rewarded.
For those of you who are willpower, and strong enough to work out on vacation, here are a few fantastic gyms you should check out in Tulum.

Tulum Jungle Gym
With one location on the beach and one downtown, Tulum Jungle Gym is probably one of those unique gyms you’ll ever work out at.
This real-life Flintstones gym is where you can “train in nature, with nature.” In fact, nearly all their equipment is made out of locally sourced natural materials - such as wood, bamboo, and stone - all hand carved by local carpenters. Stone Dumbbells, Log Bench Presses, and Bamboo Squat Racks are just to name a few. The concept behind it couldn’t be more fascinating to us: A place that combines the love for fitness with the love for nature. Since its opening in 2017, creators Katie and Alastair quickly saw their vision become a big success, with fitness lovers and professionals visiting each day from all over the world.
Tulum Fight Club
Located in the residential neighborhood of Aldea Zama, Tulum Fight Club offers personalized training, different types of memberships, and classes for all levels and ages.
Boxing, Muay Thai, Fitness Body, Personal Training, and more. You will be led by an expert coach in every class and supported by an entire community of “fighters.”
A group of friends will accompany you through this journey, whether you’re new to the fitness world or an habitué.
With decades of experience in contact sports, Tulum Fight Club is the absolute pioneer in martial arts in the Tulum area.
Your high-performance workout will take place in 190 m2 of black tatami, providing ideal cushioning for your training. You’ll be surrounded by the best, vintage, heavy bags: the perfect equipment and atmosphere to maximize your performance.
And if punching and kicking look intimidating to you, just take a look at their photo gallery, and you’ll immediately feel inspired and motivated. Lots of sweat, fatigue expressions, and concentrated looks. But also lots of smiling and confident. As if the harder the workout, the bigger the smile.
Los Amigos Gym
Gym Day in Tulum means stunning jungle views and environmentally friendly locations.
Los Amigos is the first gym in Tulum to achieve zero emission but still offers that much-needed air conditioning. Thanks to their 90 solar panels and the solid Caribbean sunshine, you’ll be able to work out in a relaxed and refreshing ambiance, knowing that you’re not damaging the environment.
The gym is open daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM and probably offers the best installations in the whole town. Different floors are completed with world-class equipment and a three-level climbing wall - the only one in Tulum - where you can challenge yourself and get in shape with the help of expert instructors.
Discover their Functional Training, Yoga, Spinning, and Insanity classes and get access to different memberships.
Day, week, or monthly passes can be quickly booked online, so you’ll have no excuses to get active and dedicate a few hours to your body in the beautiful La Veleta area.
