Staying in shape

The ´Amsterdamse Bos´ (forest in Amsterdam) is often used as an open air gym by the citizens of Amsterdam. The forest is perfect for many activities, such as having a picnic, jogging, walking, skating or biking. This beautiful forest also has many lakes and waterways which are excellent for canoeing or sailing.

Amsterdam offers many gyms in and around the centre. The bigger gyms have a great choice of classes, such as yoga, pilates, steps and also offer fitness work outs accompanied by a personal trainer. However, the regular gyms in Amsterdam can be expensive and can cost around 70 euro per month. A cheaper option to stay fit is to buy a bike with a proper lock and bike through Amsterdam.
