Day Use Gyms in Paris?

Paris has multiple public swimming pools. Most are indoors for
year-round use. Day charges are moderate. There is a large one at
Les Halles. There's also one right at Montparnasse, roughly under
the department store.

Be aware that they may possibly be closed for the month of August for
"vacances".and repairs.

The city info office on the north side of the Hotel de Ville sometimes
has a brochure listing the pools.

WARNING: Info at least 5 years old.

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.

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.

I might accept that you occasionally clock 15 miles in a day, but seriously doubt
that there are many people who can walk that far in a day. Bear in mind that some
people visiting Paris have been travelling around for a bit and may not have had the
chance to get their exercise. While walking is undoubtedly great exercise, they also
have regular exercise programs that involve particular muscle groups.



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."

No.

Why cant all the evleth family afficionados simply answer travel
questions
instead of commenting sur tout ou rien or
drivelling about divamanques oldest memories ???

What are evleth family afficionados?

If you believe it is important to answer travel questions, why haven't
you answered this one?

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.

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?

As I've said, I do this routinely with clients. One doesn't notice it
when seeing interesting things over the course of a 12- or 13-hour day.
Many people can walk this far without any problem, as long as it's not a
marathon.

With some clients, I've walked at least 32 km in one day (probably more,
but I know that I've done at least that much).

Bear in mind that some people visiting Paris have been travelling
around for a bit and may not have had the chance to get their exercise.

Travelling is excellent exercise in itself; they don't need anything
else.

While walking is undoubtedly great exercise, they also
have regular exercise programs that involve particular muscle groups.

If they are that obsessed with exercise, I suggest they stay home,
preferably within easy sprinting distance of a complete fitness center.
Nobody needs to exercise any particular muscle groups every 12 hours.

But usually you are wrong and use every possible strategem in multiple posts
to claim you are right.

So now we are up to 32 km (about 20 miles ) in a day? We had better put on
our boots and roll up our pants because the sh*t is getting deep.
