🌴 From Indoors to Outdoors: How Training on the Beach Changed My Fitness

When I moved to Rio, I stumbled across Baby Sports—a group functional training experience held right on the beach. I figured I’d try something new… and I haven’t looked back since.

No machines, no mirrors—just the sound of waves, sand under my feet, and a powerful group energy.

💪 A Whole New Way to Move

I’ve been working out in gyms for years. But these workouts?
They hit different.

  • What changed:
  • I was using muscles I didn’t know I wasn’t targeting.
  • My stamina and strength shot up in just a few weeks.
  • I developed a deeper connection to functional movement.
  • enjoyed it—because it felt like play, not punishment.

☀️ Waking Up Early, Feeling Alive

Starting my day outside changed everything. The fresh air, the energy, the sunrise—it all set the tone for the rest of my day.

I stopped dreading mornings. I actually look forward to them now.

And when I train before 8 a.m.? I feel more focused, productive, and grounded the rest of the day.

🫶 Why I Recommend It (Especially If You Hate the Gym)

If you:

  • Struggle to stay motivated indoors
  • Get bored of machines or routines
  • Want to build a strong community
  • Need something new to reignite your spark

✨ Final Thoughts

Joining Baby Sports has reminded me that fitness doesn’t have to be rigid or routine. It can be joyful, freeing, and shared with others who are just as hungry for growth.

I’m still a fan of lifting in the gym—but now, I see movement differently. I crave it. Not just for the results, but for how it makes me feel.
