Teams That Exercise Together, Stay Together
We all have heard of various team-building activities companies try to engage their staff. There are various workshops, seminars, hikes and excursions, even boat rides or forest bathing. Do you know how would your dream team-building activity look like?
Fancy sports camp
Spain — Marbella — a beautiful, large villa with a private chef and personal trainer. Your days are filled with exercise and work, while your evenings are spent hiking, visiting local towns, and enjoying fine dining. Too dreamy? Not really, as top officials of one of the leading companies in the digital lending market Equilia understand that the most important thing for your team to thrive long-term is teach the team members balance – balance between the private life and work, and sports can help here a lot. Understanding that, company is already offering its employees various opportunities to engage in physical activities, improving one’s strength and stamina but now they decided to go a step further and take Equilia management team to a top-tier team building activity – fancy sports camp in the charming Marbella.
Strict yet rewarding schedule
But mind you – this was not a leisurely vacation spent sipping cocktails by the pool. This was truly a sports camp in its best traditions. The day started at 6 am with a two-hour morning workout led by renowned coach Hardijs Romanovskis. After a shower and breakfast, there were three hours of work, followed by lunch. Another two-hour workout preceded dinner, with evenings reserved for leisure activities like hiking or exploring the town. All meals were prepared by the private chef according to the healthy nutrition guidelines and following recommendations from nutritionists. Also, participants of the camp were involved in the performing of daily chores; some management team members were responsible for cleaning dishes, others for wiping floors or waking others up; these little tasks helped them to become closer and appreciate the work others are doing.
Worth every penny
“This camp clearly stands out as one of the finest I have ever attended. It encompassed everything one could desire—engaging physical activities, exquisite cuisine, stunning accommodations, great people and an ideal location. Our itinerary was meticulously curated and thoughtfully executed. This experience not only strengthened our bonds as a management team but also enhanced our physical endurance, fostering both professional and personal growth.” tells Kristīne Reinfelde, Head of Operations at Equilia.
This team building experience helped the management team members of Equilia to evolve as a cohesive unit but also was very rewarding for each participant individually – allowing to boost one’s strength, improve stamina and learn useful ways of balancing and enriching one’s workday and physical and emotional well-being.
