Orihuela is set to transform its coastline into an open-air fitness hub this summer. The City Council has announced the launch of Summer Sports 2025, a program designed to bring a variety of group workout classes to the town’s beaches throughout July and August.
Organized through the Department of Youth, the initiative aims to promote healthy lifestyles among residents and visitors by offering accessible fitness activities in scenic beach settings. The program includes yoga, Pilates, functional training, body combat, Zumba, and HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training), catering to various fitness levels and interests.
Sessions will be held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., for a total of 18 days across the two-month period. The scheduled dates are:
- July: 21, 23, 25, 28, and 30
- August: 1, 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, 16, 18, 20, 22, 25, 27, and 29
Each week, classes will rotate among different beaches:
- Week 1: Campoamor
- Week 2: Playa Flamenca
- Week 3: Cabo Roig
- Week 4: La Zenia
- Week 5: Campoamor
- Week 6: Playa Flamenca
The lineup includes Pilates and yoga in the first week, followed by body combat and other strength-based sessions. Zumba, a crowd favourite, is set to feature on Wednesday, August 14, in La Zenia. HIIT sessions will also be offered, providing intense, fast-paced workouts ideal for those looking for a challenge.
The program is being offered through a public tender with a base budget of €25,410. The selected company will also provide essential equipment, such as mats for yoga and Pilates classes. Attendance will be capped at 50 participants per session to ensure quality instruction and safety.
Summer Sports 2025 offers a unique opportunity to stay active and enjoy Orihuela’s coastal beauty—one beach workout at a time.
