Our take on this event
Take control of your fitness goals in the heart of the 12th district, where local training sessions await those ready to push their limits. Forget the crowded private gyms and discover an efficient space to sharpen your strength alongside a small, focused community.
The Paris Sport Proximité initiative offers supervised weight training sessions at the Victor Young Perez sports center in the 12th arrondissement. Designed for adults aged 18 and over, these sessions provide a structured environment to improve physical fitness through regular exercise. Participation is completely free of charge, making it an accessible opportunity for residents to stay active throughout the year. Please note that each session is limited to 10 participants, ensuring a quality experience for everyone. Whether you are a fitness enthusiast or looking to start a new routine, this program provides a convenient and welcoming space for your workout.
The weight training program at the Victor Young Perez sports center runs from September 21, 2026, until July 4, 2027. Located at 242 rue de Bercy, this facility—formerly known as Bercy-Bastille—serves as a hub for local sports activities within the 12th arrondissement.
Sessions are held on a weekly basis with specific schedules tailored to different groups. Adult sessions take place every Monday from 12:00 to 13:30, and dedicated sessions for seniors are held on Fridays from 13:00 to 14:30. Due to limited space, each session is capped at 10 participants.
This initiative is free for all adults aged 18 and up. Before attending, please ensure you are familiar with the specific participation requirements for the Paris Sport Proximité program to secure your spot in these supervised training sessions.
