Rimini more and more open-air gym 365 days a year. Even in winter there are many opportunities to practice physical activity alone or in company, starting from the new Sea Park with lots of greenery, equipped fitness islands, cycle and pedestrian paths, training trees such as the Wellness Tree, or the Rimini Beach Court, the colorful basketball playground that combines sport and urban redevelopment.
There is no shortage of initiatives to practice outdoor sports even in the winter months, such as metabolic walking on the beach and in the Marecchia park on Wednesdays and Sundays in January, Nordic Walking on Wednesdays and Saturdays between the beach and Parco del Mare, or free timed runs every Saturday morning at Parco Marecchia. On the beach at Bagno 26 in Marina Centro there is instead a real wellness village, with changing rooms, lockers, toilets and hot showers and where it is possible to follow fitness training sessions. Not far away, it is also possible to practice Padel, thanks to the presence of 5 panoramic fields that are always open, even in winter, all day long. Also on the Lungomare (near the port) daily opening, even in the evening of the 3 fields of the Circolo Padel Rimini, where, during the winter months, you can play indoors.
On Sunday 22 January, sport meets culture with ‘The 10 things you thought you knew about Rimini but perhaps you didn’t know’, an initiative that includes a walking tour, led by personal trainer Elen Souza, within a ring of approximately 7 km through Rimini accompanied by a tour guide who simultaneously offers in-depth insights into the city with historical and cultural information. The meeting point is at 9.15 in Bagno 26.
For those who want to try their hand at the experience of bathing in the sea even in winter, the Fluxo team, which in spring/summer offers outdoor motor activities with different levels of intensity conducted by professional instructors in the most suggestive locations in Rimini, during winter organizes Warm Inside, a course of adaptation to the cold, with meetings on the free beach of the port of Rimini and the possibility of swimming in the sea, on weekends until April.
