Four hours of sport in twenty minutes: Bodyhit combines business with pleasure! Thanks to the electrostimulation machine, and with the help of a coach, each personalized session allows you to work the whole body: arms, chest, thighs, buttocks, legs, abs and back. You can come here to regain your figure after pregnancy, for example, but also to improve your physical performance and endurance without damaging your joints, as trail runners do. Located in the heart of the city, the only constraint is finding a time slot.

Created in 2011 in Paris, the Labo des Histoires is a national, non-profit association whose aim is to (re)inspire young people under 25 to write. Located on the premises of the Manufacture's theatre, the Grand Est subsidiary thus offers the opportunity to work on writing fiction, articles, speeches, comic books and film scripts through workshops led by a professional in the profession. A very nice initiative with a bright future ahead of it.

The least we can say is that these girls have it under their helmets! While roller derby has been a popular sport in the USA since the early 2000s, the Nancy-based club was founded in November 2010 by three friends who love rollerblading and contact sports. Almost ten years later, the association is still here, and so are the girls, their skates, their outfits and their crazy names! You don't have to be afraid of bruises to join the team, but you do need a good dose of second degree and a punk spirit to fit in. Beginners train on Fridays at the Charles V gymnasium, and the more experienced on Wednesdays at the Jules Ferry gymnasium. As you can see, Wheel Spirit is a lovely family of crazy girls, ready to take on the other youngsters in (inter)national competitions... It's no laughing matter? On the contrary, it's a lot of fun!

Let's face it: CrossFit is not for the lazy. Coming from the United States, this physical preparation program is made up of 33% cardio-training, 33% gymnastics and 33% weightlifting. It is therefore necessary to be comfortable in your sneakers, without age or gender restrictions, and to know that you are going to have a hard time. A regular practice reinforces agility, power, balance, strength, precision and so on. The Nancy gym, very well equipped, allows you to come and train every day with free access according to the schedule. Let's hang on!

These activities attract a rather young public, aged between 8 and 25, who come to let off steam and experience sensations. The mezzanine overlooking the trampoline is ideal for birthday parties. New: Prison Island, with 28 rooms and challenges for groups.
