RVing: Come Back Fitter
Hello from The Fit RV Headquarters! James and I just got home from a whirlwind RV trip in the fantastic state of Arizona.
Active Lifestyle
Stretch out between the legs of your journey
Your own Pace
Release your inner athlete.
Try all the sports
Try your hand at wind-surfing. Test your bouldering skills. Check out the Appalachian Trail. Your RV takes you there.
Disconnect to reconnect
Get your family off their screens and onto the trails.
Single Female, Will Travel
Fueled by a desire to explore, Oneika enjoys the freedom of traveling in an RV and seeing the world from new perspectives. Climbing new mountains, exploring new landscapes, and going wherever the road takes her, provide a freedom that nothing else can.
Staying Active
Maintaining an active lifestyle can be easy when you're an RVing family. Cooking your own healthy meals, less screen time, hiking, taking a walk on the beach, riding a bike, and simply exploring your new environment are great ways to stay healthy while on the road. Outdoor gyms and campground fitness centers also make it easy to get your workout in.
Hear from Real RVers
Growing up, outside meant freedom. I would spend the entire afternoon riding my bike and exploring but the outdoors was limited to my neighborhood. When I started rock climbing, I never imagined what I would find and the people I would meet.
We wondered how we would maintain our active lifestyle without regular access to a gym or the regular routine we were used to. But all we had to do, was open up the door to the RV.
Running fed me in a way that nothing else did. It fed me physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally and that’s what it does for me today.
Simon and I enjoy mountain biking. Having all my gear ready to go in the RV makes adventurous road trips easy. It’s a fun and convenient way to explore.
I can stop the RV, putting on my running shoes, and hit the open road on foot. It allows me to see the world from a whole new perspective.

5 Must Haves To Stay Fit On The Road
It can be hard to think about exercising when we’re on the road. The brain’s in vacation-mode, which, for some reason, becomes an easy excuse to bail on fitness. But what I learned long ago, right at the beginning of our RVing years, is that workouts on the road are some of the best kinds.
