General FAQs about Fitness Travel Packages

 

What is a fitness trip and how does it differ from conventional vacations?

A fitness trip is more than just a conventional vacation. It is a specially designed trip that focuses on promoting physical fitness, health and well-being. In contrast to traditional vacations, where the focus is often on relaxation and recreation, a fitness trip offers a comprehensive program to increase your fitness in combination with recreation.

The main difference lies in the activity: During a fitness trip, you are actively involved in various sporting activities. This can range from targeted training such as CrossFit, yoga or personal training to outdoor activities such as hiking or water sports. The focus is on exercise and progress towards your fitness goals.

Another important distinction concerns nutrition. On fitness trips, special emphasis is often placed on a balanced diet to support physical performance and promote recovery. But don't panic, that doesn't mean you'll be on a strict diet during your vacation - enjoying yourself is just as important. Balance is key!

Additionally, fitness trips offer the opportunity to meet like-minded people and be in a community of people who share similar interests. The accommodations and facilities are tailored to the needs of fitness travelers, including special fitness areas and recreational opportunities such as massages and saunas.

 

How do I find the right fitness trip for me?

Here are five steps to help you find the perfect fitness trip for you:

1. Define your goals
   Think about what you want to get out of your fitness trip. Do you want to lose weight, increase your endurance, reduce stress, or just have fun exercising?
2. Choose your activities
   Which activities and sports appeal to you the most? We offer a variety of options: From CrossFit, yoga, beach workouts, personal training, martial arts or surfing. Choose what excites you the most. In our search mask you can specifically filter for sports and find the right trip for you.
3. Flexibility and travel dates
   Most of our individual trips can be booked all year round if booked in time. Our retreats and group trips take place on specific travel dates. Check which format and which date best suits your schedule.
4. Decide on a destination
   We offer fitness trips to worldwide destinations. Which holiday destination appeals to you? Your time and budget will help you choose.
5. Talk to us

To what extent can I customize my trip to suit my needs?

You can imagine our concept at Travelling Athletes as a modular system:
You can put together all Travel Packages from various modules according to your wishes. For example, add an upgrade to full board, add beach workouts, yoga or a hiking tour, or get picked up from the airport.
When booking, you can easily add the desired services with a kick.

 

Am I too old or too unfit for a fitness trip?

Definitely not!! At Reiseathleten, we firmly believe that fitness and health know no age limits. Our fitness trips are not about age, fitness level or weight. The age structure of our trips ranges from early 20s to early 60s, so it's a colorful mix. Our programs and activities can be adapted to any fitness level. Our qualified trainers are at your side and place great emphasis on ensuring that you train safely and effectively, tailored to your fitness. 

We have beginners who use the fitness vacation, for example, as a starting signal for their fitness goals, as well as advanced athletes who do not want to miss out on their training during the vacation and appreciate the environment of like-minded people. So far, everyone has felt comfortable and was proud and happy to have dared to take the plunge into the unknown!
