Your Ultimate Vacation Fitness Guide for Staying Active in Paradise

A change of scenery offers the perfect opportunity to try out new experiences — even when it comes to fitness! You might enjoy a morning swim in the pool rather than a jog or take a pre-breakfast run along the beach instead of around your local park. From unique workout classes to scenic running routes and exciting water activities, here’s your ultimate guide to keeping fit and feeling great on vacation in Nassau & Paradise Island!

Explore Nassau on Foot

Exploring a new place on foot is a fantastic way to stay fit while immersing yourself in the local culture and scenery. To get your steps in while discovering the iconic sights, sounds, and flavours of Nassau, embark on an unforgettable walking tour. Start at the historic Rawson Square, stroll down vibrant Bay Street to explore the many colourful shops and the Straw Market, then climb the Queen's Staircase to Fort Fincastle, where you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views from the island’s highest point.

Dive into Fun Water Activities

Get a full-body workout while having a blast with thrilling water activities like paddleboarding, diving, and snorkelling. These action-packed experiences not only build strength and endurance but also immerse you in the natural beauty of The Bahamas. Head to the beach and dive into crystal-clear waters for a refreshing swim, go snorkelling to observe the vibrant marine life, or kayak along picturesque coastlines to gain a unique perspective of Nassau & Paradise Island. It’s the perfect way to combine fitness, adventure, and fun!

Get Your Game On 

Want to perfect your tennis serve or golf swing? Many of our resorts and hotels offer top-notch fitness and sports facilities, along with private golf and tennis lessons from professional instructors. Enjoy daily tennis matches, rounds of golf at the Ocean Club Golf Course, or join a lively beach volleyball game. Experience the challenge of the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course at Baha Mar, a stunning 18-hole, par-72 course with breathtaking ocean views. You’ll get a great workout and boost your athletic skills all at once!

Join Group Fitness Classes

Group fitness classes are an excellent way to work out, meet new people, and stay on track with your fitness goals. At Atlantis Paradise Island, you can join spinning, Pilates, and Barre classes that will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Meanwhile, Baha Mar’s ESPA Fitness Center offers Power Pilates, Bimini Body Burn, and even one-of-a-kind yoga sessions where you can catch a view of The Bahamas’ famous bright pink flamingos — flamingo pose, anyone?

Jog Through Paradise

The Bahamas is a runner’s Paradise, offering an abundance of scenic routes for both quick jogs and longer runs. Take an early jog and watch your surroundings come to life as shops open and locals take their dogs for morning walks. Or, set out for an evening run under a breathtaking Bahamian sunset. Use your favourite running app to find popular paths in the area or ask your hotel staff for their recommended routes. 

No Weights? No Problem!

Looking for a convenient way to stay active? Simple bodyweight exercises in your hotel room are a great way to keep on track with your fitness goals  — no fancy equipment or gym membership needed! Start with push-ups to build upper body strength, squats to tone your legs and glutes (add jump squats for an extra challenge), planks to strengthen your core, and burpees for a full-body workout. A quick 15-20 minute routine will leave you feeling energised, accomplished, and ready to take on the rest of your day!

Stay Fit and Have Fun
