Whether you’re going for the gold in Rio<\/a> or just trying to fit back into your skinny jeans, here’s where to get in shape like an elite athlete:<\/p>\n

Also: 5 best backpacks for every vacation type<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Sydney

Make a splash at\u00a0Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre: Sydney, Australia
\n<\/strong>After closing ceremonies in\u00a0Sydney<\/a>\u00a0in 2000, this aquatic center opened up to us\u00a0mere mortals. Learn to swim, do laps on your own or join a “swim squad” to get serious about honing your stroke.<\/p>\n

Run like a Kenyan\u00a0at the Kenya Experience: Iten, Kenya
\n<\/strong>We can’t promise you’ll earn a medal, but you should at least be able to shave some time off your 5k after visiting this\u00a0East African town<\/a>\u00a0that has cranked out many of the world’s fastest long-distance runners. During training camp, you’ll endure high-elevation track workouts, pick the brains of champions and even visit local runners in their homes.<\/p>\n

Float your boat with Community Rowing Inc.: Boston, MA
\n<\/strong>You don’t need a perfect SAT score to\u00a0row in the same waters as an\u00a0Ivy League crew team. Settle into a catamaran on the Charles River<\/a> to learn\u00a0rowing basics and river traffic patterns\u2014and develop some seriously buff arms in the process.<\/p>\n

\"Pebble

Tee off at Pebble Beach Golf Links: Pebble Beach, CA
\n<\/strong>This dreamy\u00a0California<\/a>\u00a0course has hosted five U.S. Golf Opens, but you need not\u00a0be a bigshot\u00a0to play here. Pebble Beach consistently\u00a0gets a nod from\u00a0Golf Digest<\/em>\u00a0as the country’s best public course, so reserve your tee time and prepare for a golf vacation that’s way above par.<\/p>\n

Score a perfect 10\u00a0at Awaken Gymnastics: Denver, CO
\n<\/strong>This is not some tiny tots’ tumbling gym. Get into cereal box-worthy shape\u00a0through tumbling, rings, handstandsand other fundamentals. This award-winning Denver<\/a> gym even offers short-term packages for travelers.<\/p>\n

Dive in\u00a0at the Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Complex: Fort Lauderdale, FL
\n<\/strong>Channel your inner Greg Louganis as you dive from 1- and 3-meter springboards at this\u00a0Fort Lauderdale<\/a>\u00a0facility that’s also home to the International Swimming Hall of Fame. You may not earn a spot on the podium, but the workout will get your feet wet into the world of diving.<\/p>\n

\"USTA

USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center | Flickr CC: Michael Vadon<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

Perfect your serve at the\u00a0USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center: Flushing, NY
\n<\/strong>This Queens<\/a> facility\u00a0hosts the U.S. Tennis Open each summer, but that still leaves 11 months out of the year for the public to hold court. Reserve an indoor or outdoor court, take lessons or enroll in “cardio tennis” to really get your heart pumping.<\/p>\n

Get your kicks at the National Taekwondo Center: Los Angeles, CA
\n<\/strong>Multitaskers will love training with these champion martial arts masters, who can help students get in shape and learn selfdefense in one fell swoop. With three Los Angeles<\/a>-area locations, there are plenty of opportunities to get in fighting shape.<\/p>\n

Practice your spike at Sinjin Volleyball Camp: Malibu, CA
\n<\/strong>Former pro beach volleyball player Christopher St. John “Sinjin” Smith lends his name to these clinics at various\u00a0locations along the Southern California<\/a> shores.\u00a0Even if you don’t score a big endorsement deal, the workout will get you ready for swimsuit season.<\/p>\n

Learn to box at Joltin’ Jabs: Philadelphia, PA
\n<\/strong>Former pro boxer\u00a0“Joltin’ Joey” DeMalavez\u00a0runs this boxing gym that’ll have you looking like a knockout.\u00a0After your sweat session, take a victory run up the\u00a0“Rocky steps”at\u00a0Philly’s<\/a>\u00a0Museum of Art. You’ve earned it.<\/p>\n
