From well-stocked gyms to the great outdoors, Hilton Head has something for everyone to stay active.

So, dust off those running shoes and check out the island’s best places to break a sweat!

Breakthrough Fitness Center

First up, we’ve got Breakthrough Fitness Center. Located at 130 Arrow Rd, this gym is a paradise for anyone who thrives in the weight room, a class environment, or in one-on-one settings.

With everything from high-energy Zumba to calming yoga, you’ll find group classes to match any mood.

Not into classes? No problem. The extensive personal training options here mean you can still work out like a pro without feeling lost in the crowd.

Orangetheory Fitness

There’s nothing like spiking your heart rate when you’re into cardiovascular workouts. If cardio and endurance training is your jam, check out Orangetheory Fitness.

Nestled at 430 William Hilton Pkwy, this gym focuses on heart rate-based interval training designed to torch calories long after your workout ends. The vibe is group-oriented but individualized based on your heart rate, so you’re always working at your personal best.

The trainers are there to motivate you through every interval, making sure you hit that calorie-busting “orange zone.”

And let’s face it — who wouldn’t want to earn those extra vacation treats guilt-free?

Jarvis Creek Park

Hilton Head is a hotbed of outdoor workout options. One is Jarvis Creek Park, a beautiful waterfront area located at 50 Jarvis Creek Rd.

If fresh air and stunning views motivate you, this spot has plenty of trails perfect for walking or jogging, as well as open areas for outdoor yoga or bodyweight exercises.

After your workout, you can even unwind with a little fishing or have a peaceful picnic. It’s the kind of place where you might forget you’re actually working out.

Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge Trail

Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge Trail is another excellent outdoor choice if you’re feeling adventurous.

With nearly 14 miles of biking and hiking paths, this spot is perfect for anyone wanting to combine exercise with nature’s tranquility.

Biking here offers stunning views and a sense of peaceful isolation since the trail is far less crowded than other touristy spots.

Keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife, and you might just spot some rare birds or even an alligator or two!

Watersports at Palmetto Bay Marina
