General FAQs on fitness holidays
What is a fitness holiday and what is the difference to conventional holidays?
A fitness holiday is more than just a conventional holiday. It is a specially designed holiday that focuses on promoting physical fitness, health and well-being. In contrast to traditional holidays, where the focus is often on relaxation and recreation, a fitness holiday offers a comprehensive programme to increase your fitness in combination with relaxation.
The main difference lies in the activity: during a fitness holiday, you will be 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 movement and progress towards your fitness goals.
Another important distinction concerns nutrition. On fitness holidays, special emphasis is often placed on a balanced diet to support physical performance and promote recovery. But don’t panic, this doesn’t mean you’ll be on a strict diet on holiday – pleasure is just as much a part of it. Balance is the key!
Additionally, fitness holidays offer the opportunity to meet like-minded people and be in a community of people who share similar interests. Accommodation and facilities are designed with the needs of fitness travellers in mind, including dedicated fitness areas and recreational facilities such as massages and saunas.
How do I find the right fitness holiday?
Here are five steps to help you find the perfect fitness holiday for you:
- Define your goals
Think about what you want to get out of your fitness holiday. Do you want to lose weight, increase your endurance, reduce stress or simply enjoy exercise? - 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 filter specifically by sport and find the right trip for you. - Flexibility and travel dates
The majority of our individual holidays can be booked all year round if you book in good time. Our retreats and group holidays take place on specific dates. Check which format and date best suits your schedule. - Decide on a travel destination

Our first-class customer service team is always on hand to answer your questions and help you choose the perfect fitness holiday.
How can I customise my trip to suit my needs?
You can think of concept with Travelling Athletes as a modular system:
Put together any trip from various modules according to your wishes. For example, upgrade to full board, add beach workouts, yoga or a hiking tour or have someone pick you up from the airport.
When booking, you can simply add the desired services with a click.
Am I too old or too unfit for a fitness holiday?
No way!!! At Travelling Athletes we firmly believe that fitness and health know no age limit. Our fitness holidays 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 colourful mix. Our programmes and activities can be adapted to any fitness level. Our qualified trainers are on hand to help you and make sure that you train safely and effectively, tailored to your fitness level.
We have beginners who use the fitness holiday as a starting point for their fitness goals, for example, as well as advanced athletes who don’t want to give up their training on holiday and appreciate the environment of like-minded people. So far, everyone has felt comfortable and proud and happy to have taken the plunge into the unknown!

FAQs on accommodation & catering
What types of accommodation are available?
Our accommodation is carefully selected to meet the needs of travelling athletes. We take into account various criteria such as facilities, range of wellness and spa treatments, high-quality catering and, of course, the location with short distances to your training location.
Depending on your destination, you can choose between different accommodation options to suit your budget, from premium beach hotels and well-equipped flats to fitness camps and resorts.
The exact accommodation varies depending on the destination and programme. You can find detailed information on the accommodation for each specific fitness holiday on our website.
What nutritional options are available?
For travelling athletes, nutrition is of course a key component alongside training. Our fitness holidays usually include a healthy sports diet that aims to provide you with the optimum nutrition for your fitness goals.
Depending on the destination, the accommodation may offer a buffet-style menu or a restaurant. If you prefer to be in control of your diet, you will also find accommodation with kitchen areas where you can prepare your own meals. In Tenerife, for example, you can even put together your own sports meal and have it delivered directly to your accommodation by our chef. Alternatives are usually offered for special diets (e.g. vegetarian/vegan) or allergies.
For maximum flexibility, you can decide whether you want breakfast, half board or full board when booking almost all trips.
FAQs on recovery & activities
What opportunities are there for relaxation and recreation?
Your recovery is just as important on our fitness holidays as your training. The options vary depending on the destination, here is an overview:
Massages
You can indulge in soothing massages to relieve tension and regenerate your muscles.
Wellness and spa treatments
Some of our holidays have wellness and spa facilities where you can enjoy saunas, steam baths, whirlpools and other relaxing treatments.
Meditation and yoga
Many locations also offer activities such as meditation and yoga to help you harmonise body and mind and reduce stress.
Rest and relaxation
Of course, you can also simply enjoy the peace and quiet, take a walk in nature, read a good book or relax by the pool or on the beach.
I also want to discover new things and places – what other activities are there besides sport?
Don’t worry, our holidays are designed to leave plenty of time for exploration and adventure. Here you usually have a wide choice of additional options at your holiday destination, which you can easily add when booking, for example:
Cultural explorations
You can discover the local culture, visit sights and immerse yourself in the history of the destination.
Nature experiences
Our destinations often offer breathtaking landscapes that you can explore on hikes, bike tours or other outdoor activities.
