Burgas thrives on a spirit of sports.

Whether you’re a sports fan looking to enjoy events or want to play sports to stay healthy, energetic, and in shape—Burgas offers unique opportunities for sports. The city boasts both natural features and excellent infrastructure for a variety of sports. Burgas has always been a city of active people. A quick stroll through the Sea Garden (and beyond) will show you that the people of Burgas truly live up to the stereotype of the city as a place full of fit people.

Street fitness is a sport that has always been popular here.

Today we’ll introduce you to some of the favorite outdoor fitness spots around town, where you can get a great workout—and why not combine it with a trip to the beach, a walk, a bike ride, or another sport?

1. Street Fitness near Neptune – A beloved and popular spot. It’s located right next to the famous Burgas restaurant and bar “Neptune” on Central Beach. The spot is easily accessible—right below the stairs from “Al. Battenberg” Street, close to the Sea Casino, as well as the public access area of the Port of Burgas. Here, the area consists of pull-up bars and parallel bars on the concrete slab, pull-up bars, a Tarzan bar, and parallel bars set into the sand; and for the past few years, a new addition—specialized equipment on the asphalt walkway itself above the slab. The new equipment is modern and fully meets the needs of people accustomed to using fitness equipment.

They allow for weight adjustment. The machines are designed for:

- seated rowing (back and biceps),

- bench press (chest and triceps),

- shoulder press machine (shoulders); can also be used for squats (legs)

- a machine suitable for deadlifts and incline rows (back, biceps),

- a seated push-up machine (chest and triceps)

Group training sessions for various sports, mainly Japanese jiu-jitsu and cardio workouts, are also held on the concrete slab.

2. Street Fitness Area near Saxa Beach – Another well-known spot on Burgas Beach, this time on North Beach. The street fitness area features pull-up bars, a Tarzan bar, and parallel bars. A definite plus is its location right on the sand. Also, these bars are located right next to the Kapani parking lot, so it’s easily accessible by car. If you work out here, keep in mind that it’s close to bustling beach bars—for some people, this might be a plus; for others, a minus.

Near these pull-up bars is also the Sport Toto Beach Arena, where you can combine your workout with beach volleyball, beach tennis, and more.

3. Near the College of Tourism at Prof. Dr. Asen Zlatarov University of Business and Tourism – An outdoor gym for connoisseurs – locals know this is one of the best spots for outdoor workouts. It’s located next to the tennis courts by the College of Tourism and the Park Hotel—close to the beach yet hidden from the large crowds of tourists. Here you can work out if you’re looking for a more peaceful setting. In addition to pull-up bars and parallel bars, you’ll see the ingenuity of the local community—handmade dumbbells and barbells, as well as a makeshift bench—which give you more options to mix up your workout. Next to the pull-up bars on the grassy area, there are tractor tires for flipping, which you can use to add a more hardcore element to your workout. There’s also a makeshift punching bag made from tires for combat sports enthusiasts (don’t forget to bring your gloves if you come here). And if you’re lucky, you might even find someone willing to spar with you.
