4 great reasons to get back into fitness
If you are feeling a bit unmotivated, find gyms depressing, or are simply unsure which workout to choose, here are four great ideas to help you beat procrastination.
The SoMuchMore concept
An idea that will appeal to those who tire easily, change their minds often, or simply want to try everything before making a final decision. For €90 per month (no commitment), So much more gives you access to dozens of fitness centers as well as beauty salons for massages and treatments. Boxing, capoeira, yoga, salsa, aqua cycling: you can try whatever you like. The only restriction: a maximum of three visits per location. But since somuchmore provides access to more than 200 venues and 3,000 activities, you won’t risk being frustrated. www.somuchmore.fr
The opening of Tigre Yoga Club Left Bank
We were already obsessed with this trendy spot in the 16th arrondissement, and now you can also book your yoga classes on the other side of the Seine. The space is twice as large, yet it still features the elite of instructors (including the famous Heberson), along with coffee, juice, and healthy snacks from Café Pinson, and a boutique featuring yoga mats and exquisite candles. Ashtanga, Hatha, floor barre, Iyengar, or even prenatal yoga, the variety of classes ensures that everyone can find a discipline that suits them, regardless of skill level. A place of absolute peace, from which one reluctantly departs to rejoin the bustle of the city. Tigre Rive Gauche, 101 rue du Cherche-Midi, Paris 6. www.rivegauche.tigre-yoga.com
Le Studio Pilates 16
In this neighborhood of Paris, Pilates and yoga studios and instructors are not exactly a dime a dozen. Consequently, Olivia’s studio is already bustling with activity. From there, it is up to you to choose your preferred options: machine-based pilates with the lovely Stéphanie Smadja (available for private or group sessions), mat Pilates, or even Strala Yoga with the brilliant Sandrine Bridoux (@thefrenchyogagirl on Instagram). In this highly dynamic version of yoga, designed by the American Tara Stiles, the focus is on core strength and balance, featuring a rapid succession of poses, almost reminiscent of a fitness class. Very soon, we will also be able to test the Aerial Pilates, which is practiced while suspended in small hammocks.

A Lolë outfit
Originally from Montreal, the Lolë brand has become a go-to for female athletes, particularly yoga practitioners. Designed for performance, every piece is stretchy, comfortable, functional, and stylish—from tops with built-in sports bras to their ultra-colorful legging collections. Not to be missed: the ultra-foldable travel yoga mat, a compact design that is incredibly easy to carry. (€39) available at Galeries Lafayette or online at www.lolewomen.com
