It’s that time of year when you start thinking about summer, and the efforts you’ll have to make to “burn off” the stubborn calories that accumulated over Christmas or while you “hibernated” on your sofa doing nothing.

These spaces, which are usually enclosed, are places where we can make the most of our physical fitness, improving our well-being and health by leaps and bounds.

The Code
One of the reasons I don’t go to gyms is that they can be very crowded.
But this is a situation you won ‘t find at The Code, which is characterized by being a boutique gym, whose emphasis is on giving more attention and exclusivity to its member-clients.
Perhaps that’s why it has a smaller number of training modes: Combust, Intense, Pure Ride, Ride Up, Collide, Improve Collide, Suspende and High Performance.

In Lisbon since 2006, the Life Club Academy is a fitness benchmark in the city, with locations at in Santos, at the Estádio da Luz and the Colinas do Cruzeiro.
One of the reasons many people flock to this gym in Lisbon is its privileged view of the Tagus river, in the Santos space; and the view of the pitch, in the Benfica stadium.
The number of classes you can take is huge, from TRX circuits to high-intensity Hiit workouts, cycling classes, bodycombat, bodypump or power training.
