Keeping up your pilates on holiday in Nerja

You finally found a workout you love, and then you booked two weeks in Spain. Good news: Nerja is one of the easiest places in Europe to stay moving, and soon that includes the reformer.

Why train at all on holiday?

Not to burn off dinner. A single morning class does something better: it anchors the day. You sleep well, you stand taller on the beach walk, and you have earned the long lunch twice over. People who keep one or two sessions a week on holiday come home without the creaky restart that usually follows two weeks off.

There is also the simple pleasure of it. Training somewhere new, with different coaches and a different view out the window, is one of the underrated joys of travel.

Nerja is built for an active holiday

Between sea swims off Burriana, the walk up to Frigiliana, the Rio Chillar river hike and morning paddle sessions, Nerja fills an active week without a single machine. Add a couple of structured classes and you have the perfect mix of effort and ice cream.

The reformer, on holiday

Until now, reformer regulars visiting Nerja had a problem: no dedicated studio in town. That changes when Casa Reformer opens at Calle Angustias 28, in the centre, a few minutes' walk from the Balcon de Europa. Eight reformers, small coached groups, classes in English and Spanish, and a schedule designed with mornings in mind so class ends and the beach begins.

If you visit Nerja regularly, it is worth joining the founding list now: you will see the schedule first and can plan your next trip's classes before booking opens publicly.

A simple holiday week that works

• Two reformer classes, morning slots, booked before you fly.
• Two sea swims, early, before the beach fills.
• One proper hike, Frigiliana on foot or the Rio Chillar in the heat.
• Every evening: the paseo, an espeto, and absolutely no guilt.

That is a holiday your body thanks you for. See you on the carriage.
