Introduction to Tomorrowland
The popular electronic dance festival, Tomorrowland, has gone viral for having a fully-grown gym on its premises in Boom, Belgium. This is not something you would expect to find at a festival, but various clips show party-goers working out in the "Chill Out area", which is equipped with free weights and various machines.
The Gym at Tomorrowland
"Yes, there is a gym in Tomorrowland," reads an Instagram video showing boys pumping iron with their shirts off and girls in their active wear. The caption continues, "From early morning training sessions to pump-ups, Tomorrowland’s fitness zone proves that festival life is also about balance." The gym is described as the place where ravers train before the party begins.
Reactions to the Gym
Many people quickly jumped into the comment section to weigh in on the surprise structure. "Just get a beer and enjoy buddy! There are only 3 days for ducks!" one user joked. Another wrote, "Pay for a ticket to Tomorrowland to train? No, I’m joking! Drink a cold beer and enjoy the music. You won’t lose muscles in 3 days." A third person joked, "How was the festival? It was good that I was in the gym…"
Features of the Gym
Another clip shows a power workout taking place in the gym. "WTF," wrote one person simply, while others were impressed by the energy of the party-goers. "Strength training first, then cardio on the dance floor!" another added. The gym has free weights and a variety of machines where people can train.
Focus on Wellness
According to the Tomorrowland website, the area focuses on "recharging your body through sports, relaxing yourself, and enjoying healthier foods and drinks in a cool and relaxed environment". They also hold yoga classes and workout sessions to "get those endorphins flowing". The restoration area is completely free, and the trainers will introduce you to the world of fitness.
Rocky Start to the Festival
Tomorrowland 2025 had a rocky start to the festival after its main stage caught fire just a few days before the opening. Wild footage showed its magical "Orbyz Mainstage" on fire. The organizers said it was a "race against time" to build a replacement stage, but they managed to do it.
New Main Stage
A photo released on July 19 on their official Instagram account showed the new main stage, which was very different from the usual elaborate design. Fans greeted the new stage, and some even preferred it. "To be honest, it looks much better and you know why? People are closer to the DJ. It will be more about dancing than posting videos a long time ago. I hope the people there will enjoy it!" one fan wrote.
Final Days of the Festival
This weekend marks the last days of Tomorrowland 2025. Despite the initial setback, the festival has continued to thrive, with its unique features like the gym attracting attention from all over the world.
