Passage Fitness draws 500 to Summer Ride at Casablanca Marina
Passage Fitness held the fourth edition of its Summer Ride on Thursday, May 14, at casablanca Marina, drawing more than 500 participants to an open-air session facing the Atlantic Ocean. The event put nearly 200 bikes on the esplanade and paired RPM with Body Combat, cardio and dance animations supervised by certified Les Mills coaches.
Casablanca Marina Event
The workout was built around a large RPM session, with the bikes arranged for a mass ride in front of the waterfront. Passage Fitness also included Body Combat sessions and other cardio and dance activities in the program, keeping the event focused on group training rather than a single discipline.
Ibnou Lmoujahid Abdelfatah and Hossin Niyat said the Summer Ride had become more than a sporting event and described it as a gathering that reflects Passage Fitness’s approach to premium, innovative and immersive fitness. They also said the company was among the first to introduce this type of event concept in Morocco.
Passage Fitness Clubs
The Marina event fits into a model Passage Fitness says is built around its clubs in Anfa, Mall and Marina on the Corniche of Casablanca. The company also has a presence in Tétouan and Oujda, but the Casablanca sites remain the center of this event’s scale and format.
The location also changed from the first two editions, which were organized on the Anfa seafront, before the Summer Ride moved last year to the Marina esplanade. That shift has kept the event in an open coastal setting while giving the brand a larger platform for its group sessions and its multi-club offer.
Bella Forme Group Prize
A participant received an RPM bike at the end of the event thanks to Bella Forme Group, adding a one-off prize to a program built around mass participation. Passage Fitness said the Summer Ride has helped shape market standards and that ideas developed by the company were later taken up by other operators.
For participants, the practical takeaway is simple: the Summer Ride is now part of the company’s recurring Casablanca calendar, and the Marina format is the version the group chose to keep in place since last year. The event’s size, equipment load and coaching setup show that the offer is designed for a large turnout, not a small studio class.
