We often think "I want to exercise more" or "I need a new hobby," but we don't know where to start looking or what options are out there.
If you want to break out of classic workout routines, rediscover your artistic side, or simply have fun while learning something new, here are 12 unique classes.
For dancing salsa 💃🏻
Eco's lends itself to a wide range of activities, including live shows, broadcasts of international events, and sports days on one of its many soccer, tennis or volleyball courts. Tuesdays are for salsa, with classes starting at 7:30 p.m. and a dance floor open late into the night. Remember to bring cash to pay for parking, as they may not have ATH Móvil to process payments.
For staying active 🥊

Some of us have always wanted to give it everything on the dance floor, like Lumarie Landrau at Daddy Yankee concerts or like Jimin from BTS. Here you can learn to do just that and bring out your inner dancing queen or king. This dance academy offers reggaetón, hip-hop and K-pop classes.
If you want to get fit but gym routines have started to wear on you, kickboxing classes are worth a try. It's a fun activity that puts your body to work while you learn to defend yourself. This center also offers cross training and full body circuit classes for those looking for intensity.

One of the most followed sports on the Island is boxing. We watch every fight we can and celebrate big whenever one of our own wins. (Do you remember the double win by Tito and Denise? That 2001 was something else.) Whether you're a man or a woman, there's room here to get in shape and learn to put up a good fight.
