Training While Traveling: Sofia, Bulgaria Kicks It Up a Notch
Traveling isn’t just a hobby for me—it’s my lifestyle, my fuel, my everything. And let me tell you, Bulgaria’s a spot you’ve got to hit up if you ever get the chance. Seriously, I’m obsessed with roaming the globe and discovering new places that light me up.
Lately, I’ve been jetting off to Sofia, Bulgaria. Why? Because my business—SeekaHost and ClickDo—takes me everywhere, and I love it. Every new destination flips my perspective, sparks fresh ideas, and keeps my mind wide open. Honestly, staying creative is non-negotiable when you’re running the show in the digital world. So many killer concepts for my companies popped into my head while I was out exploring new turf—travel’s my secret weapon.
Sofia – Bulgaria
Let’s dive into Sofia—it’s absolutely unreal! This city has everything I crave as a nomad. First, every park features open-air training spots—boom, instant workout vibes! Plus, Vitosha Mountain is just 20 minutes away by car, towering over the city and calling my name.
Naturally, I hit the trails. For example, places like Momina Skala and Kamen Del recharge my soul, especially after a trek to Boyana Waterfall. Trust me, that spot is perfect for meditating, connecting with nature, and soaking it all in. Moreover, Vitosha offers routes that don’t demand pro skills, but be sure to wear decent shoes—unless you’re like me, hiking to Boyana Waterfall in flip-flops. Yeah, I actually did that in summer!
So, if you’re itching to check out Sofia, Bulgaria, do it! The internet’s rock-solid and fast—more than enough to keep your hustle humming. Stay tuned, because next I’m diving into how I found Next Level Club Gym.
Staying Fit While Traveling: My Next-Level Discovery in Sofia
Training’s my other big love, and I shout about it all the time. That’s a core principle for me. Staying active is as natural as breathing. Whether I’m smashing Calisthenics Gymnastics, hitting Outdoor Training, throwing punches in Martial Arts, or pumping iron at the gym—I always find a way to keep moving. Because physical activity keeps me firing on all cylinders.
So, naturally, whenever I travel, I’m scoping out spots to train. Sure, I can bust out Calisthenics anywhere, but lately, my passion for nailing a Backflip means I need a proper setup. And trust me, finding the right gym isn’t always a walk in the park—plenty of gymnastics clubs don’t let random nomads like me roll in and flip.
My Backflip Passion
Now, don’t get me wrong—I’ve landed on hard ground before (yep, even in my own backyard). But after I took a hit earlier this year attempting a backflip, I’ve dialed up the mindfulness a notch. Funnily enough, I jumped right back into it in my yard after that tumble—my passion’s that wild! It sharpens my focus and pushes me to nail it. Still, I’m not saying you should dive in and flip today. Nope! It takes time, practice, and guts. So, instead, I hunt for spots that let me train smart.
While kicking it in Sofia, Bulgaria, I struck gold with Next Level Club. This fitness joint’s got it all, and I mean all. First off, they’ve loaded the place with cutting-edge gear for standard workouts. But wait, it gets better—they’ve got a martial arts room decked out wall-to-wall with mats. Perfect? You bet—especially for practicing backflips. Honestly, stepping into Next Level Club felt like leveling up my nomad life.

Next Level Club by The Mall
Now, let’s talk location—this one sits right by one of Sofia’s massive shopping centers. Parking? Massive. Access? Super easy. In fact, despite its size, Sofia’s a breeze to navigate, which just sweetens the deal. Step inside, and the club’s huge—sprawling over 1,500 square meters across two floors. First up, you hit the reception, stocked with drinks tailored for us fitness junkies. Then, there’s a dedicated CrossFit zone—love that! Of course, my favorite’s still the martial arts and gymnastics room—mats everywhere, ready for action. Every floor’s got slick service areas with spacious showers to freshen up.
Head upstairs, and the second floor’s loaded with gear to blast every muscle in your body. After that, you can chill in the sauna, steam room, or even hit the solarium. You can book a massage too—sure, it’s not in the daily pass, but it’s a sweet perk. Otherwise, the card covers all the essentials, so you can soak up every extra.

Leveling Flipping Up at Next Level Club Sofia, Bulgaria
Of course, Next Level Club The Mall won me over with that martial arts room—my spot to nail what I love! So, I rolled in and found empty room, perfect timing! Normally, group sessions fill it, so check the schedule if that’s your goal. Now, warm-ups? Easy—hit the machines or stretch right there. Honestly, two hours flew by! First, I warmed up, then smashed my backflip practice. After months and one injury, I’m landing solid—even mat-free in my backyard. Still, I’m chasing height, so those mats were gold.
This backflip challenge involves several critical factors that must be well-coordinated
First, leg strength is essential. You need considerable muscle power, especially in your quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves. Without sufficient strength, generating the energy for high jumps becomes difficult.
Next, mastering your jumping technique is vital. Coordinating your arm and leg movements is crucial for optimizing your jump. Poor technique can lead to lower heights and injuries.
Flexibility and mobility are also important. Achieving good flexibility in your ankles, hips, and lower back maximizes your range of motion and efficiency.
Additionally, the jumping surface matters. A solid surface provides better rebound, whereas a soft surface can absorb energy.
Psychological factors play a significant role as well. Your motivation and self-confidence directly impact performance. Fear of falling or injury can limit your efforts.
Lastly, consistent training and preparation are key. Focus on developing your strength, power, and technique for success.
With all these elements combined, you can fully enjoy the experience. It takes dedication, but with motivation and a solid training plan, anything is possible.
That’s how I spent two amazing hours at Next Level Club, and I’m excited to return whenever I’m in Sofia!
As I always say—I’m grateful for the wonderful circumstances that allow me to do what I love.
Your Next Level Achievements
In conclusion, here’s the key takeaway: regardless of your training goals, consistency is crucial. Create a solid plan and stick to it. Additionally, continually upgrade your strategy and set higher goals. Whether you want to master a backflip, build muscle, or achieve a fit body, stay motivated.
Sure, it can be challenging and may take longer than expected, but let that motivate you! There’s no greater satisfaction than seeing the results when they come. Remember, if you remain dedicated, those results will follow. This applies to everything in life.
Finally, if you’ve found an inspiring training spot, share it! I’m always open to new recommendations, wherever they are in the world. Let’s do a workout together!
Stay Fit,
