Corporate Sports Training
Corporate sports training consists of one-off workshops or weekly programmes in which employees learn a new sport with an instructor. Alongside sailing, rowing, tennis, padel, pickleball, golf, skiing and combat sports, we run breathing, mindfulness and in-office stretching workshops.

About Corporate Sports Training
Short sessions that fit inside an agenda
Workshops are not a day out. They run between forty-five minutes and three hours and they teach something. For a visiting team this makes them the easiest activity to place: the afternoon block of a working day, the opening of an evening programme, or the slot after lunch when attention in a meeting room predictably falls away.
What visiting teams usually pick
- Turkish traditional archery. Culturally specific, requires no fitness, and works for any age. Often the highest-rated session for international groups because it is something they cannot do at home.
- African drumming circles. Everyone sits, nobody dances, and the group produces a single rhythm together. Fully inclusive — participants with mobility restrictions take part exactly like everyone else.
- Turkish folk dance. Danced in a line or circle holding hands, so there is no partner selection and no one is left out. A natural fit when the group wants something local.
- Boxing and self-defence pads. No contact between participants; all work is on pads held by the instructor. Popular with groups that want intensity without a sport background.
Practical constraints
Most workshops can be set up in a hotel meeting room or on a terrace: archery needs ten to eighteen metres of clear space with a safe area behind the target; drumming needs about 1.5 m² per person; dance needs 1.5 to 3 m² depending on whether partners are involved. Sessions requiring mats — judo, MMA, aikido — or specialist equipment need a venue rather than a meeting room.
Inclusion is the deciding factor
In a corporate group the question is rarely which workshop is best but which one nobody sits out of. Partner dances raise questions of gender balance and physical proximity; martial arts raise questions of contact. We agree these constraints before the session rather than discovering them in the room — for example running bachata in open position only, or offering the drumming circle alongside a dance workshop so that both preferences are covered.
Frequently asked questions
Can a workshop run in our hotel meeting room?
Most can. Archery needs ten to eighteen metres of clear space with a safe area behind the target; drumming needs about 1.5 m² per person; dance needs 1.5–3 m². Sessions requiring mats or specialist equipment need a proper venue, and we will say so at planning.
Which workshop suits a group that has never done anything like this?
Turkish traditional archery and African drumming are the two that consistently work for any group: no fitness required, no experience, no partner, and nobody has to perform in front of others. Folk dance is the third, because it is danced in a line rather than in pairs.
Is there anything culturally specific to Turkey?
Traditional Turkish archery with a thumb draw, Turkish folk dances by region, and equestrian javelin (cirit) as a demonstration. These are the sessions international groups tend to remember, and each can be paired with a short cultural explanation.
How long does a session take?
Between forty-five minutes and two hours. This is deliberate: workshops are designed to fit inside a working agenda rather than replace a day.
Some of our team cannot take part physically. Is there an option?
The drumming circle is the clearest one — it is done seated, requires no movement and includes wheelchair users on equal terms. Archery is also performed standing in place with no physical demand. For every workshop we agree an alternative role in advance rather than improvising.
