By Julia Nilsson on - 11m. reading time

It's no secret that consistent exercise and healthy habits must be established months before achieving the desired physical appearance for the summer. The milder winter climate in the Costa del Sol plays beautifully into maintaining an exercise routine. Throughout the year, Marbella provides an ideal environment for an active lifestyle with many gyms and fitness studios, as well as top fitness professionals who can assist in getting your body where it needs to be. Here are our favourite picks of the most popular gyms in Marbella.
