The Los Barriles “Stay Fit” Guide
Staying Fit in Los Barriles 🏋️♀️🌴
Los Barriles might be best known for its tacos, sunshine, and fishing — but it’s also a surprisingly active little town. Whether you’re here for a week or the whole high season (November - April), there are tons of ways to stay fit between margaritas. From yoga at sunrise to kitesurfing at sunset, here’s your guide to all things movement in Los Barriles.
💪 Gyms in Los Barriles
If you’re the type who misses your routine when you skip a workout, you’re in luck. Los Barriles has a small handful of small but well-equipped gyms with everything from free weights to air-conditioned cardio rooms. Most offer day passes, weekly memberships, and friendly local vibes (no judgment if you show up in flip-flops).

🧘 Yoga
You’ll find yoga classes and studios scattered throughout town offering classes under shaded palapas, breezy rooftops, and even right on the beach. Some instructors offer more vinyasa or flow; and others lean restorative or yin. Many teachers are seasonal pros who’ve migrated here for the winter wind and desert calm, so the quality of instruction is top-notch.

✨ Pilates
Pilates has a growing following in Los Barriles, and a brand new boutique studio offering mat and reformer classes has just popped up, within a short 1-minute walk of Hotel Hondo. It’s a great low-impact option to balance out all the other physical activities around town. The pilates studio even offers private sessions or semi-private duos — perfect if you’re traveling with a friend.

🌊 Kitesurfing & Wingfoiling
If your version of exercise involves more adrenaline than a treadmill, head to the beach. Los Barriles is one of the best kitesurfing and wingfoiling destinations in the world — and our crew at Wahoo Wind Co. has you covered. Whether you’re a total beginner or a wind-addict always looking to improve, we offer lessons, gear storage, and plenty of high-fives. It’s a full-body workout disguised as pure fun.

It’s no secret pickleball fever is alive and well here. The courts are busy most mornings, with a mix of locals and snowbirds keeping the games social (and competitive!).
