There was a gym at our resort. I did not even step foot inside it! I found plenty of other ways to get in some physical activity.
For starters, our resort was laid out on the side of a mountain which provided some amazing views of the beach. The steep terrain also provided a great workout each time we walked to and from our room. While there was a shuttle service available for those wanting to avoid the steep hike to get to their rooms, Cory and I usually opted to take the climb instead.
My days were usually filled with beach activities. Snorkeling was so much fun and such a workout in 30 feet waters.
Then of course there was “The Rock”. It was a floating, inflatable rock-climbing rock in the water. Many of our guests tried to climb the rock but not everyone succeeded. First, we had to swim out to “The Rock” and then use some serious arm strength to climb to the top. Cory and I conquered “The Rock”!!!
Each night the resort had live music which usually resulted in some serious dance parties!
Dancing = Fun Exercise
But our nightly poolside dancing could not even compare to the dancing during our wedding reception. We were sandy, sweaty, and having the
time of our lives!
Do you exercise while on vacation? Do you look for unique, “gym-free exercise” while on vacation?

I did get to the gym twice while we were there! We did always walk (climb) to our room. One te my husband and I ran up which was pretty intense with the incline. We were always sweating! Zipling was a work out too!! Had an awesome time.
I’m with you, I never step foot into a gym. I’d rather hike the surroundings, swim, take walks, etc. Looks like you had quite an amazing honeymoon!
Gorgeous! I love the wedding reception photos – it LOOKS like the time of your life
On vacation I like to swim and snorkel and I’ve been known to hit the resort’s gym a time or 2, too 
Oh my gosh….that looks like paradise! I definitely try to embrace new workouts when I’m on vacay, and walking around just to take everything in is actually a great workout in itself! If I go somewhere “beachy,” I also love to get bikes and just bike around. I think if I lived in place like St. Lucia I might never see the inside of a gym.
wow, gorgeous vacation!! I usually don’t ‘schedule’ workouts while on vacation, but we do usually walk everywhere to discover new things
Have a great trip!
How gorgeous! That “rock” looks like a blast..but also pretty challenging. It depends on where I am going on vacation but I usually try to be as active as I can while there with walking and other outdoor activities.
Awesome. I agree with you, if there is a way to exercise OUTSIDE, it’s much better! Who wants to workout in a gym, inside, while at such an amazing resort?! It sounds like you and Cory found plenty to do that got your heart rate up and sweat glands active
I love that giant rock too, so neat!
