Our take on this event
Forget the usual impersonal gym sessions and join the community for some spirited team action near the Eiffel Tower. Whether you are looking to master your badminton serve or hit the ground running with some Nordic walking, these sessions are perfect for staying active with others.
The Paris Sport Proximité program brings active sessions to the Gymnase Fédération in the 15th arrondissement. From September 21, 2026, to July 4, 2027, residents aged 18 and over can participate in free Nordic walking, badminton, and volleyball sessions. These regular meetings are designed to help you integrate physical activity into your weekly routine in a friendly, local setting. Because each session has a strictly limited capacity to ensure a quality experience for all, it is recommended to plan your attendance accordingly. This initiative is an excellent opportunity to engage in sports for free within your own neighborhood throughout the entire season.
Located at 16 bis rue de la Fédération, the Gymnase Fédération hosts the Paris Sport Proximité initiative throughout the 2026-2027 season, running from September 21, 2026, to July 4, 2027. This program is open to all adults aged 18 and older who are looking for free, accessible sports activities in the heart of the 15th arrondissement.
The schedule is organized to offer variety across three specific days. On Tuesdays, from 12:15 to 13:15, volleyball sessions are held for up to 24 people. On Thursdays, a Nordic walking group departs from the gymnasium between 13:45 and 17:00, with a capacity of 12 participants. Finally, badminton sessions take place on Fridays from 12:15 to 13:15, accommodating up to 28 players. Due to the limited number of spots available for each discipline, please ensure you check the specific requirements to participate in this municipal sports program.
