My Go-To Gyms in Canggu for Strength Training, Classes, and Recovery

My Go-To Gyms in Canggu for Strength Training, Classes, and Recovery Image

Gyms in Canggu

Canggu has no shortage of gyms – there’s one every few hundred metres, and I’m not even exaggerating. But these are a few I’ve personally trained in and genuinely enjoy – whether it’s the vibe, the equipment, the fair price, or just how easy it is to get a proper workout in. They’re not fitness influencer-style gyms built for aesthetics and content, if you know what I mean. They’re places where you can actually train well, with everything you need for a solid session.

Many of them also have a recovery section- which feels pretty essential these days. Almost every gym in Canggu seems to include some version of that now, from ice baths to saunas and magnesium pool. Also, a couple on this list are actually martial arts gyms, but still worth checking out – maybe you’ll find a new passion! The membership options vary quite a bit as well, from more budget-friendly local rates to higher-end facilities but not too crazy, which is another reason they made it onto my list. If you’re on holiday but don’t want to compromise your training routine, I hope this helps you find a spot that fits.

Wellness Gym

It’s not a fancy, Instagram-heavy gym, but it has all the essentials I need, from the outdoor free weight area to the air-conditioned workout space downstairs. The atmosphere is chill and friendly which makes it perfect if you’re new to fitness or someone who likes training alone without feeling intimidated. There’s a nice garden area to stay a little longer after your workout to stretch, relax, or catch some sun.

Alpha Gym

I first discovered this gym because it was within walking distance from my old apartment. The gym has a modern, clean design with all the equipment you need for a good workout. One of the highlights is the rooftop area, which is nice for an afternoon session when you want some fresh air and natural light. Despite its stylish look, it’s not that type of “influencer gym” – it’s a comfortable space where you can focus on your workout and train in peace.

💰 Membership: IDR 2mill/ month

⏰ Opening Hour: Mon-Sun, 6am-10pm

🧖🏻‍♀️ Facilities: Sauna, ice bath

Bynd

They had me at the lap pool overlooking rice fields – because, lap pool, and how rare it is to still see that kind of view in Canggu. The gym itself is open-air with a beautiful bamboo, tropical feel. It focuses on hybrid training, Hyrox, and functional fitness, but you can also just grab a day pass and train independently or join one of the classes depending on your mood.

📍 Google Map: Bynd Fitness Club

💰 Membership: From IDR 2mill/ month

⏰ Opening Hour: Mon-Sun, 6am-7.30pm

Brother Gym

Three words for Brother gym; simple, local, and affordable. It’s very much a “workout, done, move on” kind of place, and possibly one of the cheapest gyms I’ve come across in Canggu, it’s straightforward without any fuss or extras. Bonus point, its location near plenty of restaurants, for when post-workout hunger hits and you want something good nearby right after.

📍 Google Map: Brother Gym

💰 Membership: IDR 600K/ month

⏰ Opening Hour: Mon-Sun, 6.30am-10pm

🧖🏻‍♀️ Facilities: Gym only

Woven

I just have to mention Woven because it’s more than just a gym for me – it’s my happy place. If you train jiu jitsu, or one day wake up feeling like you want to learn one of the best martial arts in the world, you should definitely come to Woven. It’s not scary or intimidating at all, I promise, and it might just be one of the best decisions you make for yourself. All the coaches and everyone here are super nice! And even if jiu jitsu ends up not being your thing, you’ll still walk away with some really great friends and a beautiful community

The Block

It’s an MMA gym offering boxing and jiu jitsu classes, with everything you need to train, recover, and recharge. Beyond the mats and the octagon, there’s a strength and conditioning area, plus a dedicated recovery section complete with a pool, sauna, jacuzzi, and two different ice baths. Despite being a combat sports gym, The Block has a welcoming atmosphere that feels friendly and approachable. It’s a place where hard training meets good recovery and a strong community.

📍 Google Map: The Block

💰 Membership: IDR3.6 mill/ month (all access)

⏰ Opening Hour: Mon-Fri 7am-9pm, Sat-Sun 7am-4pm

Undefeated Gym

This gym tucked a bit inside Tumbak Bayuh, so if you’re following Google Maps and feel like you’re lost, you’re not lol…just keep going. Important note – bring your noise-cancelling headphones! They usually play the music pretty loud – part of the vibe, I guess. The equipment is more than enough for a solid workout, but the real highlight is the recovery area: a nice pool, indoor ice bath and jacuzzi with a TV (yes, you can just chill and watch something), plus steam and sauna.

📍 Google Map: Undefeated Gym

💰 Membership: IDR 1.5mill/ month

⏰ Opening Hour: Mon-Sun, 6am-9pm

🧖🏻‍♀️ Facilities: Sauna, steam, pool, ice bath

Avenue Fitness

It’s right on the main Batu Bolong Street, so it’s super easy to find. The gym is spread across three floors: the top floor is a quieter space for stretching and free weights, while the bottom floor has the sauna and ice bath for recovery. It’s a pretty straightforward gym – nothing fancy, but it’s got all the essentials you need for a workout.

📍 Google Map: Avenue Fitness

💰 Membership: IDR 1.8mill/ month

⏰ Opening Hour: Mon-Sat 6am-10pm, Sun 6am-9pm

🧖🏻‍♀️ Facilities: Sauna, ice bath

Surya Gym

This gym in Pererenan has that local gym energy. It’s got all the essential machines you need and enough space to move – that’s it. They’ve also added classes like Zumba and boxing. The vibe feels relaxed and unpretentious, more about just showing up and getting it done. A solid spot if you’re in the area and want something simple, functional, and easy to train in.

📍 Google Map: Surya Gym

💰 Membership: IDR 1.2mill/ month

⏰ Opening Hour: Mon-Sun, 6am-10pm

Hopefully this list helps you find a gym in Canggu that fits your training style while you’re travelling. Whether you’re here for a short stay or a longer trip, it’s always nice to have a space where you can keep your routine going. Just a quick note that membership prices may vary or change over time, so it’s always worth checking directly with each gym for the latest updates before you go.

Family Friendly Hotels in Bali with Adorable Family Rooms

Family friendly hotels in Bali Going on a Bali holiday with family was already the best thing ever when I was a kid. I don’t remember staying in any special kids’ rooms or having a kids’ club at the hotel back then. And I don’t think I even cared - all I wanted was room service - because that was the only time I was actually allowed to eat in your room, lol - and a swimming pool where I could swim around all day until my skin got ridiculously dark. Kids these days, though, are seriously spoiled! Hotels have gone all out with family rooms, colourful bunk beds, games, cute little corners and even dedicated spaces designed to make kids feel like they’re on a holiday of their own. Seeing these rooms now, I’m starting to think we really missed out. So, if you’re heading to Bali with the kids, you might as well give them the full holiday experience. These family-friendly hotels have rooms that are just as fun as the destinations themselves. The kids will probably be more excited about where they’re sleeping than where you’re taking them, hehe. Here are some of the nicest ones to check out, and the list will keep growing as we find more cutesie ones.

Fun Communities in Bali for Every Kind of Lifestyle Image

Fun Communities in Bali for Every Kind of Lifestyle

Communities in Bali. Bali is often seen on social media for its beaches, postcard sunsets, surfing culture, wellness activities, temples, and cute brunch spots - but beyond the surface, there’s so much more to do, see, and experience. It’s also home to a vibrant network of communities that shape the island’s true rhythm. Togetherness is, after all, the heart of Indonesia, and in Bali alone I’ve come across such a unique mix of groups you can be part of, whether you’re just here on holiday or calling it home - here are some of them. Jumpa Lagi ClubBe VocalThe Sketch CollectiveVinyl Book ClubContinuum AthleticsFilm Photography ClubExit Haven You may also like this article: What It’s Like to Live in Bali: Cost, Culture, and Everyday Life Jumpa Lagi Club This artsy bunch of genuinely lovely humans run all sorts of workshops like canvas painting, cake decorating, flower arranging, and more. “Jumpa Lagi” means “see you again,” which feels fitting for a space that keeps bringing people with shared interests back together. From just 100K a session, you get to tap into your creative side while they sort out all the tools (no stress, just show up and have fun). They also often collaborate with their chosen venues, so you can sneak in a cheeky food and drink deal while you’re at it - win win! Follow their Instagram @jumpalagiclub to check out their schedule. Image credit: Jumpa Lagi Club Instagram Be Vocal This has to be one of the cutest groups I’ve come across. Exactly as I imagined when I heard it’s a singing group - it’s literally just a bunch of people meeting at a scheduled time… to… sing together! And yes, it’s as wholesome as it sounds. When I was there, they kicked things off with a fun singing game, then moved on to learning a traditional Indonesian song from Maluku, and wrapped it all up with the best part: open mic. So cute. If you’re looking to meet new friends, definitely give this one a go. Follow their Instagram @bevocalindonesia to check out their event calendar. Image credit: Be Vocal Instagram The Sketch Collective If you’re an artist, an art lover, or someone who just enjoys putting pencil to paper, make your way to Sketchy Tuesday. Held every Tuesday at The Canggu Studio, this weekly gathering brings people together for live figure drawing, creative conversations, and a relaxed evening of sketching.  Follow their page @the.sketchcollective for more information and updates on upcoming sessions. Image credit: The Sketch Collective Instagram Vinyl Book Club Hands up, everyone! Literature and the art of properly listening to good music are not dead yet. I stumbled across this group on Instagram and immediately wanted in. They host sessions at Analogue Listening Space on Sunset Road, and the concept is beautifully simple: reading + listening to music. You get access to their vinyl library, can bring your own book, or borrow from their collection. It’s the perfect activity for introverts or anyone looking to slow down after a busy week. I think the world needs more spaces like this. Check them out on Instagram @vinylbookclub to learn more.

Three times a week, they get together for different types of training. Tuesdays are for interval trainings, Thursdays are threshold sessions, and Sundays are for long, easy runs. Don’t be intimidated if you spot some seriously athletic-looking people there - everyone who wants to get fitter and challenge themselves is welcome. It’s a friendly bunch who support each other. Follow their Instagram @continuum.athletics for the weekly schedule and meet-up points. Image credit: Continuum Athletics Instagram Film Photography Club In a world that’s constantly pushing us towards the next new technology, there are still people who appreciate the slow, intentional art of analogue photography - and I love that. This club hosts “photowalks” where you meet fellow film photography enthusiasts at a set time and place, then wander, shoot, connect, and enjoy the quiet thrill of not knowing how your photos turn out until later. Each season is limited to just 20 participants, which keeps things nice and intimate. Whether you’re a seasoned film shooter or just curious to try something new, it’s such a refreshing way to spend a day. Check out their next photowalk on Instagram @filmphotographyclub. Image credit: Film Photography Club Instagram Exit Haven This is a whole new level of nerdiness that I 100% want to be part of and I want to be friends with everyone in this group. They literally just meet up… to play board games, haha! No screens, just proper games, a bit of friendly competition, and (I’m assuming) some very serious rule debates. It actually sounds like such a fun, low-pressure way to hang out and meet new people. Follow their Instagram @exithaven_ to see when their next hang is.

You might leave with new friends, new hobbies, new experiences, and a whole different side of the island you didn’t expect. Thank you for reading!

5 Unique Ramadan Hampers by Local Indonesian Businesses Image

5 Unique Ramadan Hampers by Local Indonesian Businesses

Ramadan hampers are everywhere at this time of year. The holy month is here, and growing up in a diverse family that celebrates almost every religious holiday, I’m already busy looking for presents for friends and family. Indonesians love to gift - it’s almost a given that we send hampers to family, friends, neighbours, and the people dearest to our hearts during festive seasons. And more often than not, those hampers are filled with cookies - lots and lots of cookies. The true stars of Idul Fitri are the classics: nastar (soft shortbread filled with pineapple jam), kaastengels (cheesy shortbread sticks), putri salju (almond cookies dusted in icing sugar), and lidah kucing (thin, crisp biscuits that literally translate to “cat’s tongue”). During this month, nearly every bakery sells them because they’re iconic and absolute must-haves for Ramadan, as well as the big day when everyone gathers. So this year, I thought I’d curate some unique hamper and gift ideas - especially for those whose homes are already overflowing with cookies and sweet treats, hehe. They’re all made by local Indonesian businesses that I think are pretty cool.

Every year, they launch an out-of-the-box collection for the festive season, and this year’s drop is inspired by the sarung (sarong) - a piece closely associated with Muslim prayer attire. Available for purchase on www.idekuhandmade.com  Image credit: Ideku Handmade Instagram Sweet Treats Without the Calories by Oentukmu They sell the cutest soaps in all sorts of shapes, and they’re perfect as presents or souvenirs for special occasions. I’ve bought them a couple of times for fun, and they smell really nice too! For Ramadan this year, they’ve created a set inspired by nastar and jajan pasar (a variety of traditional Indonesian snacks). You can order them on Tokopedia or Shopee. Image credit: Oentukmu Instagram Artisanal Tableware by Carramica You can never have too many pretty dinner sets. If you’re thinking of getting something special for your best friends, teachers, or clients, they offer a range of hampers in all kinds of designs- from classic and elegant to vintage and playful. They also come in different price ranges to suit your budget.  You can view more hampers and order on Tokopedia. Image credit: Carramica Tokopedia You may also like this article: 5 Must-Visit Coffee Shops in Canggu, Umalas, and Nearby Areas The Scent of Ramadan by Sniff Sniff From the name alone, you can probably guess they’re all about scent. Their hampers include a boxed fragrance diffuser with a blend of muguet ozony, green fruit, and cedarwood 5, plus a bottle of room spray - complete with a greeting card. They’re also pretty affordable, perfect for when you need to buy a few for a group of people.  Available for purchase on Tokopedia. Image credit: Sniff Sniff Tokopedia Ramadan Fit by Nadjani This brand honestly takes up a decent percentage of my wardrobe -  mostly jackets and trousers, hehe. This year, their collection is called Homecoming, celebrating a return to our roots and the moments that shaped us - as they shared on Instagram. The vibrant colours and patterns reflect the liveliness of a reunion -  overlapping conversations, blended hues, and happiness that feels endless. Available on www.nadjani.com and other Indonesian e-commerce platforms. Image credit: Nadjani Instagram At the end of the day, Ramadan is about connection - with our faith, our families, and the people we care about. Whether you stick to the classic cookie hampers or try something a little anti-mainstream this year, it’s always the thought that counts. If you’re looking to support local while gifting something a little different, I hope this list gives you a few fun ideas. RAMADAN MUBARAK! 🤍
