Going to gym is always a good idea even in the new country. It simply makes you feel better after the workout and keeps you fit when you start getting older. I still haven’t found my own gym here in Leiria ’cause I’m a lazy one and I just concentrate on bodyweight exercising and running but maybe I will make it at some point. After all the beach season is close and that is where you want to be at your best in terms of body.
Well here they are. Plenty of good gyms with different kind of services available.
