Let’s Get Physical: Build A ‘Healthy’ Relationship With These Fun Fitness-Oriented Date Ideas In Mumbai!

Discover with

You might not think that the words ‘exercise’ and ‘romance’ go well with each other, but incorporating a fun physical activity into your love life can actually foster ‘healthy’ relationships (no pun intended). Suggesting an active date not only shows off your vitality, creativity, and sense of adventure, but also forges a strong bond over a shared interest, leaving your partner suitably impressed!

However, when planning an active date, there are a few things to consider - you don’t want to organise something that will have you huffing and puffing throughout and leave you dripping in sweat at the end, because that’s not a good look for either of you. The perfect active date fosters conversation, gets your heart racing (and not just for each other) while even adding a dose of healthy competition into the mix!

With that in mind, we’ve compiled a short list of active date ideas that are sure to bring you closer together, whether it’s your first, fifteenth, fiftieth, or five hundredth date!

The best part? It costs absolutely nothing, which just goes to show that you don’t need to break the bank to curate some truly memorable romantic experiences!

While it’s true that not every date has to revolve around food and drinks, there’s a reason why lunch or dinner dates are such classics in the dating game. And so, for those who are counting the calories, a mouth-watering culinary adventure awaits at Farmer’s Cafe, a wonderful establishment in Khar. Welcoming guests with its tasteful decor and comfortable seating, this place proves that healthy food can be tasty too, with its wonderfully varied menu that includes vegan, keto, and gluten-free options that deliver on flavour as well as nutrition. What’s more? Contrary to what you might assume, this is not a vegetarian establishment, so even the city’s carnivores can enjoy the superb spread of soups, salads, pizzas, burgers, panini, pasta, healthy desserts, and more!

Where: Shop No.1, Celeste Bldg, Plot No. 470, Kinchin CHS, 14th Rd, Khar, Khar West

An idyllic, lush green escape into the heart of Mother Nature located in the heart of the concrete jungle that is Mumbai, Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) is not only the perfect getaway for nature lovers but also the site for many an enjoyable active date. You and your partner can explore over 100 sq. km. of pure wilderness, home to more than 250 species of birds, 40 species of mammals, 70 species of reptiles and amphibians, 150 species of butterflies, and 1,300 species of plants in a wondrous celebration of the local flora and fauna. Be it a leisurely boat ride on the artificial lake, a cycling tour of the premises on rented bicycles, a joyride on the mini-train (not operational at the moment) that runs through the forest, or a mesmerising view of the Mumbai cityscape that awaits you atop the Gandhi Tekdi trek, the options are virtually endless.

Where: Western Express Highway, Borivali East

We all know that Mumbai is famed for its happening nightlife, but we’re not thinking of your ordinary house parties or club nights. Instead, how about exploring the city by night as you take to the streets on your bicycles, visiting Mumbai’s most popular landmarks and seeing them like you’ve never seen before? While there are guided nighttime cycling tours that you can book for yourself and your partner, why not go the extra mile and curate a special cycling trip that covers some of your favourite places in the city? We guarantee that it’ll be an experience that both of you will treasure forever!

So, what are you waiting for? Get out there, get moving, and make some special memories! 

P.S. Some activities might not be operational at Sanjay Gandhi National Park due to pandemic restrictions, so plan accordingly.
