When I travel, I always try to make a point to look for a nearby gym to get my workout in. While in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua, I found a gym called "Fight Club Gym" located just passed the bus pick up and drop off area away from the beach. I don't have the actual address, but you can google it, and it will be easy to find. It's walking distance from anywhere on San Juan Del Sur.
The gym offers MMA training as well as your typical gym weights. They do not have a treadmill, but of course that is what the beach is for. The day pass at the time was only $3 US.
When you arrive, you have to go through the opening towards the back and go right up the stairs, you will then see the gym area which is like in a huge warehouse. There is no A/C so get ready to really break a sweat. I find that these gyms are the best ones to go to because they offer all you need, and nothing fancy, just the basic equipment with a great atmosphere.
I was able to get one workout in while at the Fight Club Gym, so I decided to do the Body Beast Total Body Workout, always a good one!
Other ways to get your workout during your stay in San Juan Del Sur besides surfing is hiking up the hills surrounding the beach. The best hike view is from the Jesus Statue overlooking the town. You can start on a run from your accommodation, and run through the beach and then up to the landmark statue, then back down. It's a very good morning workout.

There are also a few places that even offer yoga and Zumba classes, so there is a little bit for everyone. And as always, you can always workout on the beach or your hotel with Beachbody on Demand, can't go wrong with that!
