Words By Patricia Slapp

As much as we have good intentions to keep fit when holidaying in Bali, the reality is that quite often our workouts fall by the wayside and are replaced with late nights, lazy sleep ins and chilling by the pool....

Solution? 15Fit Bali - a boutique fitness studio, specialising in small group and personal training, nestled in the tranquil surroundings of Umalas. Here's just a few of the reasons why we love it:

THE OWNERS: Pete and Yvette Manuel have some serious street cred in the fitness world and it goes without saying - They. Know. Fitness. Both have worked at the highest levels attainable within the industry, not only on the management front, but also sweating it out on the International stage, training and educating the best of the best in the industry for global fitness brand Les Mills, before moving to Bali.

PERSONAL ATTENTION: 15 Fit specialises in personal training and small group training, with around 15 people per session, so you get the individualised focus and attention of a PT, with the energy and atmosphere of a pumping group fit class.

VARIETY & ADVICE: From Indoor Cycling (Pete's speciality) to TRX and HIIT you've got lots of choice when it comes to functional training. If you're staying for an extended time period we recommend their Personal Training and and Nutrition packages - all personally tailored to your needs.

LOCATION: If you are wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of Seminyak to a more tranquil setting, it's worth the short journey for your workout. And why not? You're on holiday, so grab your travel buddies, make a morning of it, then enjoy a post workout refuel just across the street at their Morrocan inspired cafe.

COUS COUS CAFE: With an eclectic mix of offerings for breakfast, lunch or delivery dinner, the café is always ready to serve their Moroccan-inspired menu of vegetarian dishes, super healthy libations, sweet treats and freshly roasted organic coffee. What better way to replenish and refuel, Bali style, after smashing through your workout?
