A personal trainer in Somone means an outdoor session between sea and mangrove, beside the lagoon or in a shaded spot, to work the body without leaving the calm of the village. One-to-one or in a small group, open to all ages, with equipment provided.

A session in harmony with the place

The trainer adapts the exercises to your needs: strength training, breathing, mobility, balance, or simply getting back in shape. The programme favours gentle toning, light cardio, stretching and relaxation. Movements are done at your pace, respecting everyone’s fitness, and the equipment is provided.

The session lasts about one to one and a half hours. Sessions are open to all ages, as one-to-one coaching or in a small group. Bring loose clothing, a towel, a bottle of water and sun cream. Sessions most often take place outdoors, on the beach, beside the lagoon or in a shaded spot; sunrise sessions, in soft light, are possible.

If you live on the Petite Côte, it is a session that swaps the gym for a natural setting. If you are on holiday, it is a calm break for exercise, the opposite of the bustle of the neighbouring resort.

Somone, calm and turned towards nature

Somone is about ten kilometres south of Saly, on the Petite Côte. Quieter than its lively neighbour, built beside an estuary where sea and river meet, it is made for contemplation and nature watching. The setting for the session is the lagoon, a community nature reserve, among mangroves and silent beaches, with the sea and birds as a soundtrack. It is the kind of place where a gentle session feels natural, where nobody is in a hurry, and where the light and the water do part of the work of helping you unwind.

Around the session

After training, breakfast beside the lagoon, a visit to the bird reserve or some time in Ngaparou are natural next steps. Birdwatching and a pirogue trip follow on well, as does a massage to recover.
