Bali’s lush uplands just outside Ubud have long lured travelers seeking serenity. Now the jungle-fringed Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan is giving wellness-minded guests another reason to linger: an all-new Fitness Hub opening August 12, 2025, according to a press release by Four Seasons Resort Bali.
Set on the high banks of the Ayung River, the facility blends cutting-edge equipment with traditional recovery rituals. It forms the latest chapter in the resort’s larger wellbeing vision, joining the recently revitalized Sacred River Spa only steps away.
Inside the Riverside Fitness Hub
The new complex is carved into the resort’s terraced landscape, allowing floor-to-ceiling views of the rushing Ayung while guests train. The main river-view gym comes stocked with strength and cardio gear—everything from digital treadmills to functional-training stations—yet the brand positions the venue as more than a standard workout room. Locker areas for men and women feature showers, saunas and steam rooms that visitors may use on a complimentary basis throughout their stay.
Three private studios for focused sessions
Travelers craving a personalized approach can reserve one of three private studios—a gym, a dedicated recovery suite and a fully furnished Pilates room—each bookable for one person or a couple at a time. Certified local instructors tailor programs that range from high-intensity interval training to mindful movement.
The private Recovery Room is anchored by an infrared zero-gravity lounger designed to relax muscles, increase blood flow, improve balance and stimulate endorphin release. Guests looking to amplify recuperation can opt for two specialty treatments:
- Pulih Batin (90 minutes) – A semi-guided ritual marrying breathwork, contrast therapy via ice bath and steam room, and time on the infrared lounger to promote deep relaxation.
- Hydrotherapy Healing (30 minutes) – A self-paced circuit alternating steam and ice baths to curb inflammation and boost circulation.
Pilates aficionados—or beginners curious about the low-impact discipline—can book a 60-minute private lesson. The studio comes equipped with reformers, rings, bands, balls, weights and a spine barrel for targeted core work and posture alignment.
Fuel and retail: The Fit Bar and Boutique
Adjacent to the gym, the Fit Bar dispenses quick bites and functional beverages crafted from Balinese ingredients. Protein bars supplied by local partners are 100 percent plant-based, sugar-free and gluten-free, relying on raw island fruits and nuts for flavor. Hydration options include kombucha brewed with rainwater and prebiotic drinks meant to aid digestion and recovery.
Next door, the Boutique curates men’s and women’s activewear bearing the resort’s branding—a useful stop for travelers whose athleisure didn’t make it into carry-on luggage.
Wellness in context: The Sacred River Spa
The Fitness Hub dovetails with a sweeping refresh of the Sacred River Spa, itself perched beside the Ayung’s emerald banks. The spa’s new reception and lounge area opens onto a lotus pond, while seven revamped spa villas host signature Balinese therapies, meditation sessions and energy-balancing rituals.
Holistic philosophy under one canopy
“From mindful movement to integrative recovery, we now offer a full spectrum of ways to restore balance and vitality,” resort spokeswoman Luisa Anderson said in the release.
Tips for Travelers
- Book early: Private studios accept only one individual or couple at a time, so secure preferred time slots before arrival.
- Pack light: Activewear and recovery gear are available for purchase on-site, leaving more room in your suitcase for Bali’s artisanal finds.
- Hydration strategy: Tropical humidity can drain energy fast; the Fit Bar’s rain-brewed kombucha is a convenient electrolyte boost.
- Pair with spa experiences: Alternate intense workouts with yoga or meditation in the Sacred River Spa for a rounded wellness itinerary.
- Explore Sayan’s surroundings: Include rice-paddy walks or a rafting trip on the Ayung to complement gym time with outdoor adventure.
