Day Use Gyms in Paris?
We will be touring Europe for a few weeks, but will only be in Paris a few
days. I am looking for a fitness facility with weights as close to the Montparnasse area as possible. The hotel room will be too tiny to attempt an kind of exercise there and there is not fitness facility in the hotel. The hotel said every gym nearby requires at least a 1 year membership contract for use. They said we could take a 20 minute metro ride to the Aquaboulevard facility and pay by the day there, but didn't know the cost. How is Aquaboulevard and does anyone have better options that may be more near the Montparnasse area? |

How is Aquaboulevard and does anyone have better options that may be more near the Montparnasse area? Is there a compulsive disorder cooking in there somewhere?. Relax.. When I was your age (I assume you're a bit younger than I am), I used to get lots of exercise in hotel rooms. Use your imagination.. Or change travelling companions.. |

t. How is Aquaboulevard and does anyone have better options that may be more near the Montparnasse area? You can't go for a few days without a fitness facility? I usually find that I do a lot of walking on vacation, but there are aspects of my fitness routine that I would miss. I figure I could do the enough walking to keep fit without the usually facilities, but since I do 1000m along with my weight routine and 1500 on the days in between I would really miss the swimming, and I confess that if I were away from it for 2-3 weeks I might lose interest keeping up that part of the regimen. |

I've seen an online review of gyms in Paris that describes the Espace
Vit les Halles as popular with visiting Americans, implying it has short term users. It would be about 20 minutes (at most) from Montparnasse by metro.

When I take clients through Paris, we routinely clock 15 miles or so of walking. That should be enough fitness for anyone, especially for only a few days. This reminds me a bit of people who come to Paris and spend their whole time here in their hotel rooms watching CNN to "keep up." -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |
