Clean-eating cafes, gym after gym, yoga studios overlooking lush green rice fields … the bustling neighbourhood of Canggu in Bali is fast becoming known as the wellness hotspot on the beautiful island. And that’s exactly why I chose it to feel inspired on my “wellness month”, where I dedicated time and attention to feeling better not only in my body, but my mind.
BODY BEAUTIFUL
Surrounded in every direction by healthy living, my villa on busy Jalan Nelayan was a two-minute walk from the Body Factory (bodyfactorybali.com)– a one-stop health facility with everything I could want.
First, Body Factory is a gym, and an impressive one at that. Spacious in size, it’s stocked with every weight of dumbbell and barbell imaginable, an abundance of treadmills and stationary bikes and a huge array of weight machines for every ability.
There’s a series of classes each day, and I eagerly signed up for a Factory Fit class with personal trainer, Mei. By the end of 50 minutes, we were all dripping in sweat, thanks to a gruelling mash-up of cardio exercises, strength training and functional movements. The 30-degree weather only added another challenge! For those who prefer a gentler, low-impact class, there’s a separate Pilates and yoga studio upstairs.
