Incorporating Health and Fitness into Your Event

Ideas To Invigorate Your Attendees’ Bodies and Minds By Incorporate Health and Fitness.

Physical fitness gets endorphins flowing, blood pumping, and energy running—which is exactly what you want in an event guest. An active guest is more likely to be alert and awake for all of the sessions you have planned. Movement can even boost creativity, mood, and memory even after you sit back down. This is the ROI you can earn by investing in your guests’ physical fitness during your event, meeting, conference, or convention.

We all know that practicing self-care during events is important to keep our minds and bodies on track while operating on a busy schedule, but why stop there? Incorporating movement and fitness into your events can be a simple way to show your attendees you care about their experience, health, and well-being. 

Team Sports

Incorporating Health and Fitness Into Your Event Volleyball Omnience EventsA game of volleyball, touch football, or softball could bring some energy and competitive spirit to your event. Consider your crowd’s demographics and interests, and organize a series that will help them join together in a new way. Kickball is an inclusive sport that doesn’t require peak fitness or skill—just a little sweat! This is a great way for people to network, especially if they are not fans of the normal happy hour festivities.

Group Exercise Class

If you are looking to connect a team of people in a less competitive atmosphere, group exercise classes are a great way to build lasting camaraderie. The key is to offer an easily modifiable activity with a confident instructor so that everyone feels comfortable coming out of their shells. A trip to a spinning studio or a visit from a Zumba instructor would lend a high-energy boost to a team’s working relationship.

Fitness Breaks

No one likes to sit still in meetings for too long, so encouraging movement during your event could give your guests a burst of energy to kick that “conference fatigue.” If you think your demographic won’t show to an organized fitness event, incorporate light physical activity right into their day. You can invite an instructor or professional by, or even find a video online for a quick, sweat-free stretch. Your attendees will thank you with better focus and participation.

Yoga

This sends the distinct message that you want to provide an environment where they can benefit from their professional development while relieving their stress with light activity and meditation tools.  

Give Them a Time and Place

For your attendees who already have a fitness routine in place for themselves, the biggest gift you can give is time and space. Starting the day a little later will give your guests ample time to complete their regimens. Ensuring your venue or recommended hotel has an up-to-date and well-maintained fitness center will give them what they need to take care of their own health needs, and don’t forget to include this in your communication materials so they can plan accordingly.
