My favorite ways to stay active! From city runs and sunrise hikes to surfing, padel, and trampoline fitness, this list is packed with fun workouts and energizing spots. Each item has personal notes on why it keeps me moving and feeling good.
Every Sunday I feel like the city transforms just for us. Joggers, cyclists, and Zumba crews take over the streets—it’s chaotic, sweaty, but also the most alive I’ve ever seen Jakarta.
Car Free Day – Sudirman, Jakarta
Stretching under tall trees with live violin music in the background? Honestly, it feels like therapy. I always leave lighter than when I came.
Yoga at Taman Suropati, Jakarta
There’s something about looping around GBK at night with neon bikes and food stalls waiting after. It feels like a workout and a mini night market at the same time.
Cycling at GBK (Gelora Bung Karno), Jakarta
Climbing in the cold darkness just to catch that sunrise—it’s exhausting, but when the sky turns golden, you forget every step of the struggle.
Hiking Gunung Bromo, East Java
Sweat dripping, sand under your feet, and trainers yelling motivation by the beach—it’s tough, but the vibe is so electric you want to keep pushing.
Bali Bootcamp – Canggu
Jogging through the empty streets before the shops open is magical. It feels like owning a piece of Yogyakarta, even if it’s only for an hour.

Morning Walk at Taman Bungkul, Surabaya
Pedaling through endless green paddies with the sound of birds and temple bells—it’s a workout disguised as a meditation session.
Cycling at Ubud Rice Fields, Bali
The ocean breeze pushes me forward, and the smell of street food at the finish line pulls me in. Best reward after a sweaty run? Pisang epe by the waterfront.
