I needed a gym for 3 months and got a membership here for €147.00. The facility is very well…read moremaintained and clean. They have crossfit classes (they call it "crossxtreme" here) on M/W/F for an extra €5 (other classes are included). The staff and instructors (Barbara - parlez Anglais, Sook, Alan, Kevin) are amazing and helpful. Weekend hours are short, but then this is France.

Great place to drop in if you are in town. The coaches are great and friendly (makes extra effort…read moreto speak English). 15 mins walk from the Novotel, and you get 10% off through gymlib.com. Euro 10 per visit.

I visited CrossFit Kulturefit this week and have had a wonderful experience! It is a shame that…read moreCrossFit has not yet taken off in France, but I think it will get there eventually. :) It is a small box (gym, for those of you not familiar with CrossFit lingo), with two coaches. Coming from a box in California that started very small, I prefer only a couple of coaches. Quality over quantity any day! I have been training at another box in London for a couple of months, but the programming at Kulturefit is much better and it is obvious that the coaches, Albéric and Yohann, love what they do! With CrossFit, you can have good programming and bad programming. The programming at KultureFit is great! I haven't been sore in almost a year, but only a couple of days at their box has left my body feeling like it has actually gotten a workout. If you are living in Toulouse and looking at joining CrossFit, I recommend contacting them and trying it. If you want to get fit and reach your maximum fitness potential, it is the place to do it! It is much better than a conventional gym. You focus on functional movement to get you in shape for life. Need to lift heavy bags over your head, carry heavy groceries for miles, climb mountains, swim across oceans? Well, join CrossFit! It is a great combination of weight training and cardio. The community is kind and supportive! That's how it should be with CrossFit - everyone supports you and cheers you on. Whether you're first or last doesn't matter; it's all about competing with yourself. "Leave your ego at the door." ;) Plus, if you are traveling, Toulouse is a cute town to get some sun and relaxation from a big city. KultureFit is sort of near the airport in the northern part of the city, so if you stay further south it can be quite a commute... but the tram is a nice and relaxing journey to get there. If you don't speak French you might have some barriers, but the community is sooo welcoming and warm! Albéric speaks a tiny bit of English and seems happy to practice and Yohann speaks a little bit more. Still, you should learn a few basics to be respectful (I've learned my lesson, now time to learn some French!).

Have you ever been to a yoga class where the teacher is a bit kooky and full of Indian cultural…read moreappropriation that is way off? Well this is not that. This is what modern a yoga class should be Zoe is careful and methodical in her practice and works with the individual members of the class to practice at their level. You won't go to her class and have head stands pushed on you. Now if your thing is crazy bends and stress positions, she can sure accommodate you. Again, she works at your level and you will leave feeling great, not like you just ran a 10k.

I have sampled everything Zoe has to offer under the Satya umbrella and am a big fan. I very much…read moreenjoyed the pranayama class I took one evening (my very first class) and decided to give the yoga classes in the park a try. It's awesome doing yoga outside! Zoe is a patient and knowledgable teacher. I love how she gives many options depending on your mood or where your body is feeling for the day (she will demo the pose, then give examples of how to make it easier if you aren't seeing your best, or how to make it more challenging if you want to take it up a notch.) I love the type of yoga she teaches as well (yoga synergy). But my absolute favorite is getting a massage! I happen to know she works with a wide range of styles, from sports massage (which my husband needs) all the way to much gentler stuff (which is what I need.) I can't say it enough - Zoe is fantastic!

I just started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for two months before coming to Toulouse. I fell in…read morelove with the sport and had to train while on a 2 month sabbatical, despite being a n00b white belt. I had an Airbnb in Les Carmes so I searched for places to train nearby. I was lucky to find Aranha Jiu Jitsu (only 15 minutes away via sauzelong stop of metro line B). I emailed Eric (via their website contact info) prior to my arrival and he replied a few days later, welcoming me with open arms. Aranha is the gym where many French and European champions currently train. It was my first time training jiu jitsu at a location other than my home gym- everyone was super friendly and got sweaty with me regardless (even though I did not speak a lick of French)! If you have a chance to train in Toulouse, train here!

However I put a good 150km on the bike over the French country side and it was fun. Bike was not tuned super well and I had to stop and do a bit of road side adjustment. That said I'm super anal about my own bikes so many people might not have noticed. It would have been nice to have some better bike options but for a small shop this was good enough and I was able to do what I wanted to. Bike shop is a short walk from the train station. I would recommend the shop but skip the Chinese e-bike.

The panniers were dirty on the insides, with dark sticky substance and a horrible smell. My wife's bicycle would not shift properly and on my bicycle the gears were slipping a lot! Regretted not having brought over our own bicycles for this trip. The Canal Du Midi was beautiful though. We especially loved Carcassonne.
