The Maresme coastline is often associated with beach runs, cycling routes and the usual gym routines. But scratch beneath the surface and you’ll find something far more interesting: a growing scene of movement, creativity and community that goes well beyond the typical idea of sport.
From the precision of fencing to the rhythm of dance, from the strength and control of barre to the freedom of roller skating, Maresme is quietly becoming a place where fitness meets expression. These are not just workouts, they’re experiences. They challenge you in different ways, introduce you to new communities and, more often than not, remind you that movement can be just as much about joy as it is about discipline.
Whether you’re looking to try something new, meet like-minded people or simply break out of your routine, here are some of the most unique and underrated ways to stay active in the Maresme.

Dynamyc Pilates Studio brings a balanced and energetic approach to Pilates, combining a wide range of equipment and techniques to create sessions that are both effective and engaging. The studio offers more than just traditional classes, with Barre and Aerobic options adding variety and an extra challenge to each workout.
Led by highly experienced instructors, every class is guided with attention to proper technique, ensuring you move safely while building strength, flexibility and core control. There’s a strong sense of professionalism, but without losing the enjoyable and motivating atmosphere that keeps people coming back.
It’s the kind of place where you can train with purpose, feel supported in your progress and leave each session stronger, more flexible and genuinely better in your body.

She Barre Studio offers a refreshingly down-to-earth take on Barre and Pilates, bringing together elements of classical dance, functional training and mindful movement.

The focus is on strength, control and feeling comfortable in your own body, rather than chasing perfection.
With two locations to choose from in the Maresme, Alella and Mataró, and a growing community across Barcelona, it’s the kind of place where you can switch off, move well and leave feeling stronger – without any fuss.

Fencing is a minority sport in Catalonia, and we work daily to make it more popular. It’s highly recommended for children and young people, as it develops both physical and mental skills, builds character, and teaches values like respect and teamwork. Fencing improves coordination, endurance, strength, focus, patience, and the ability to handle both victory and defeat. It’s a dynamic, unique, and above all, fun sport.
