Hi all,
Does anyone know of a boot camp or a good place to go for group exercise classes, preferably outdoors?

Hi Jennifer35,

Not sure where you live, but at the moment Rio's City Council runs a free - YES FREE - gym at the beach between Anibal de Mendonca and Garcia D'Avila Street at Ipanema Beach. You need to bring your Passport and fill out some health forms ( Brazilians need to present their ID card ). There, you will be able to meet people of all over the world, including brazilians off course, and the PE Teachers who work on site. And Rio, like everywhere else in the world, is "who you know". Great opportunity!! But run, as it finishes when Summer ends...March!! Also, you will find out about bootcamps, and all other types of exercise classes when you get involved. IT IS FREE!! Go girl!! Wishing you the best time in Rio!!

Wow, that sounds great. I will definetely check it out. It's a pity you have to leave at the end of Jan but it must be nice to spend time with your family. We will have been here for only a week in Friday so have lots to learn still!
