Keeping up with your workout routine while in Bali may not be on the top of your list, but there are loads of cool spots to do it!
The island is a hub for all kinds of workouts including famous CrossFit.
You can run through routines and strenuous exercises under towering palm trees with a cool tropical breeze flowing by.
From Canggu to Uluwatu, these are the best places to do CrossFit in Bali.
Where to Do CrossFit in Bali
Grab your gear and get motivated for the tropical CrossFit workout of dreams.
Wanderlust Fitness Village is Bali’s largest CrossFit box. It’s also the most popular with CrossFit aficionados from all over the world working out here daily.
It has daily CrossFit classes as well as an open gym and recovery centre.
For athletes and newbies, Wanderlust is a great spot to get your sweat on and do a classic CrossFit workout. With all top of the range gear, you can join all types of different sessions.
Wanderlust will quickly become your favourite gym in Bali!
S2S CrossFit Bali
S2S CrossFit was the first CrossFit gym to open in Bali on the busting streets of Berawa.
Emphasising having fun while sweating it all out, the classes are as welcoming to beginners as they are to experts.
They have all the necessary equipment, a comfortable gym setup, personal training sessions and an onsite cafe where you can refuel following an intense sesh.
CrossFit gyms across the world are fairly standard. They are air-conditioned, have similar equipment, and are simply styled. Well, not this one.
Going against the grain, Obsidian Bali in Canggu is separated into a weights and machines room, a caged room for functional fitness, and a recovery room with a pool and cafe. It’s the ultimate Bali gym.
With large groups and top-quality equipment, Obsidian ain’t for the faint-hearted. But that isn’t to say that they don’t welcome beginners, bodies of all types, and all fitness levels.
Fortitude Bali
Fortitude Bali is a boutique gym for CrossFit in Bali that fits right into the trendy neighbourhood of Canggu.
The gym defines itself as a community where individuals come together to push the limits in a supportive environment.
It’s designed to help you achieve your fitness goals while building connections and friendships. The gym has a weights and machine section open between sessions but is mostly focused on scheduled classes.
Aside from CrossFit sessions, Fortitude Bali offers high-intensity and high-impact classes for strength-building, cardio, and endurance training.
Bambu Fitness
As far as CrossFit gyms go, Bambu Fitness has to be one of the most quintessentially tropical boxes.
I say this because it is founded on the premise of community building and attracts an especially health-conscious clientele.
Spread across 13 thousand square feet, the open-plan studio offers an Olympic weightlifting platform, an air conditioned body-building section, and cardio machines. However, it’s their CrossFit Sessions that attract the most dedicated fitness fans.
Bambu is a top spot for those staying in Uluwatu.
Uluwatu Collective
Whether you join for a day, a week, or a full month of sweat, Uluwatu Collective offers a variety of classes from Metcon to HIIT and, of course, CrossFit. They also have a calming yoga class on the schedule, which is a great way to slow your heart rate after a heavy CrossFit session.
Aptly named a ‘collective,’ this gym aims to connect members to a supportive community of like-minded people.
Whether visiting for a day or a month, there are drop-in rates and bi-monthly passes available.
Muscle Beach Club
There are few things better than leaving the gym, aching in all the right places with a buzz of endorphins and energy. Muscle Beach Club is a fully equipped commercial gym with all the familiar machines and toys in an air-conditioned space.
If you need a bit of structure for your workout, they offer classes ranging from pole dancing lessons to CrossFit sessions.
Within your membership, you can take advantage of the swimming pool and even pop past the cafe for a healthy bite after a heavy workout.
Hands down one of the most local and low-key spots to do CrossFit in Bali, Point One Gym is for the undercover CrossFit fans who don’t crave a big-deal fitness scene.
Other than a CrossFit area where you can train on your own clock, Point One Gym also offers classes like Zumba, Box Active, and Muay Thai.
There is even a rooftop deck where you can work out in the island sun.
CrossFit Seminyak
A centrally located gym that really fits into the buzz of the busy Seminyak neighborhood, CrossFit Seminyak is dedicated to your favorite high-intensity workout.
Get your legs burning in the open air, shaded box equipped with all the tools you might need. Group sessions are held six days a week.
Aside from CrossFit, the gym also has an open gym and organizes weightlifting and functional fitness classes for beginners and advanced clients.
Body Factory
Body Factory must be one of the most famous gyms on the island, and is truly one of the most stylish spaces to work out.
With arguably the most high-quality and advanced equipment of any gym on this list, Body Factory has an air-conditioned interior and outdoor functional training box.
To complement the back-breaking CrossFit sessions, join a restorative yoga class and recover in the pool, ice baths, and sauna.
Gym junkies, this one is for you: Gymnasium CrossFit in Bali is so much more than just a place to build muscles.
This premium fitness club is packed to the brim with equipment from Matrix USA. With a dark interior lit by colored lighting, you’ll feel like you’re working out in a nightclub.
Aside from the usual, they also have a recovery spa, personal trainers, and a smoothie bar.
If you’re after the luxe Bali fitness experience, Jungle Box is the CrossFit gym for you. Bali’s first gym in the jungle, this functional fitness gym is all about strength, movement, and conditioning.
Within your membership, you can make use of the onsite smoothie bar, swimming pool, and ice bath to revive your aching limbs. They also offer week-long retreats.
Bali Training Centre
Arguably one of the most beautiful gyms in Bali, Bali Training Center turns the concept of a gym on its head. Perfectly suited to the down-to-earth Uluwatu atmosphere, this CrossFit box has an outdoor section, allowing you to soak up the sun while getting your sweat on – and oh boy, will there be sweat.
The centre releases daily schedules attracting the fittest in Uluwatu. Aside from the most famous CrossFit box, they also offer HIIT and Muay Thai sessions.
Final Thoughts
With plenty of CrossFit options across the island, there is no excuse not to stay in shape while in Bali. Life is all about balance, and what better way to balance out those Bintangs and nasi goreng than with a high-energy CrossFit workout?
If you’re a fan of the exercise method, you’re in luck, CrossFit in Bali is top-notch. Not only are there plenty of gyms to choose from, but most of these gyms include recovery centers where you can cool off and unwind.
