1: Choose a Well-Equipped Vacation Home for Your Group
The foundation of a successful fitness vacation is a well-equipped vacation home that meets the needs of your friend group. Look for accommodation with enough space for both shared moments and privacy. The Vierumäki area offers various options that are perfect for friend groups of 4-12 people.
Pay special attention to the vacation home’s amenities. A quality sauna is essential for post-workout relaxation, and a well-equipped kitchen enables shared dining experiences. Common areas are important for spending time together, whether it’s a game night or casual conversation. You can easily find a suitable vacation home for your friend group through the Premium Resorts booking calendar.
Also consider the location of your accommodation in relation to activities. Distances at Vierumäki are not long, but a strategic location can make your vacation more convenient. Discuss with your group beforehand which activities are most important to you, and choose accommodation nearby.
- Check the number of beds and room division in the accommodation
- Ensure the quality of the sauna, kitchen, and living areas
- Consider the distance to key activity locations
- Check internet connection and entertainment electronics
- Make sure the accommodation is suitable for seasonal activities
2: Plan a Diverse Exercise Program in Advance
A successful fitness vacation requires some advance planning. Create an exercise program suitable for your friend group that takes into account everyone’s fitness level and interests. A good plan is flexible and includes a diverse range of activities – both shared and optional.
Balance your program with group activities, individual exercises, and free time. Vierumäki offers a comprehensive selection of sports and activities regardless of the season. Varied activities keep motivation high and bring diversity to your vacation.
Also consider rest periods and recovery in your scheduling. A schedule that’s too tight can cause stress, while one that’s too loose can lead to a lack of activities. The right rhythm makes the vacation an enjoyable and energizing experience for everyone.

3: How to Utilize Vierumäki’s Nature to Support Your Fitness?
Vierumäki’s stunning natural environment offers unique settings for diverse outdoor activities. The area’s numerous nature trails, terrains, and outdoor routes are perfect for both peaceful hiking and more vigorous exercise. Different seasons bring their own charm to outdoor activities – in summer you can enjoy lake views, in autumn the colors of fall foliage, and in winter snowy forests.
Take advantage of nature’s diversity in your exercise routine. Beyond hiking and running, Vierumäki’s terrain is suitable for activities like mountain biking, and in winter, skiing and snowshoeing. Nature-based exercise offers not only physical challenges but also mental wellbeing and variety compared to indoor workouts.
Vierumäki’s nature trails are classified by difficulty, so every friend group can find suitable routes. We recommend familiarizing yourself with the trail maps in advance and choosing a variety of different routes during your stay.

The selection is extensive – offering everything from water aerobics to dance classes and functional training.
Group exercise classes that allow participation according to individual fitness levels are especially recommended for friend groups. Group bookings should be made well in advance, especially if you want the whole group to participate in the same class. For many groups, Vierumäki’s instructors can also customize private sessions to meet your specific needs.
Coaching services offer professional guidance and motivation. If your group includes exercisers of different levels, a coach can address everyone’s individual needs. Most friend groups find training with a coach to be a particularly motivating and fun part of their fitness vacation.

5: Reserve Time for Recovery and Relaxation
A fitness vacation isn’t just about sweating and exertion – recovery and relaxation are equally important. Effective exercise needs to be balanced with rest, allowing the body to recover and muscles to strengthen. Vierumäki offers many ways to relax after an active day.
The Finnish sauna experience is a highlight of the fitness vacation for many. Vierumäki features traditional saunas and specialties like smoke saunas. Sauna bathing promotes recovery, relaxes muscles, and creates the perfect environment for friend groups to discuss the day’s experiences.
Swimming pools, massage services, and various wellness treatments complete the recovery experience. Many vacation homes at Vierumäki have their own sauna and hot tub, enabling relaxing evenings in privacy. During the planning phase, it’s worth balancing your active program with sufficient rest periods – for example, one day could focus entirely on recovery and wellness.
Recovery can also be combined with light exercise:
- Evening stretching sessions with your friend group
- A peaceful walk along the lakeshore
- Relaxation exercises guided by a professional
- Light swimming during sauna sessions
6: Dining Tip: Where to Find the Best Places to Eat?
Active exercise requires good nutrition to support it. Vierumäki offers diverse dining options suitable for both casual friend group dinners and quick refueling between activities. The area’s restaurants offer delicious and healthy options for fitness vacationers’ needs.
Many vacation homes have well-equipped kitchens that enable shared cooking sessions. Cooking together can be a fun activity, and at the same time, you can ensure that you get nutrition that suits your specific needs. There’s also a well-stocked grocery store nearby for purchasing food supplies.
During your fitness vacation, it’s advisable to favor a nutritious diet that supports endurance and recovery. Ensure adequate hydration, especially during active days. Planning shared meals in advance saves time and effort during your vacation.
Tips for fitness vacation nutrition:
- Plan at least one special dinner for the entire group
- Keep snack bars and fruits handy between activities
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day
- Book restaurant tables at popular venues in advance
- Try local specialties and seasonal ingredients
7: Organize Fun Group Competitions and Activities
A friend group’s fitness vacation gets an extra flavor from fun competitions and shared activities. Friendly competition brings excitement and motivation to exercise. Plan different contests that are suitable for all participants – the most important thing is having fun together, not winning.
Create your own mini-Olympics with both traditional and creative events. You can combine tasks requiring skill, speed, and teamwork. Score the performances and reward participants at the end of the vacation. Such activities often become vacation highlights and topics of conversation for years to come.
Playful challenges can also be longer, lasting throughout the vacation. For example, a step counter competition, daily challenge tasks, or even photo orienteering create continuity for the vacation. Remember to keep competitions suitable for all participants and ensure they bring joy, not stress.
Examples of fun group activities:
- Friend group triathlon (adapted distances and sports)
- Nature photography competition with different themes
- Playful cooking contest in the vacation home
- Disc golf tournament (Vierumäki has its own course)
- Secret daily challenges for each participant
8: Document Experiences and Create Shared Memories
A fitness vacation at Vierumäki is full of unforgettable moments worth capturing. Documentation helps preserve memories and share experiences later. Agree among your friend group who will be responsible for which aspect of documentation – one can focus on photos, another on videos, and a third perhaps on daily fitness achievements.
Documenting exercise can also serve as a motivator. Setting and tracking common goals creates team spirit. Record your starting point and the successes achieved during the vacation – whether it’s trying a new sport, walking a longer distance, or conquering a more challenging route.
Create a shared memento of your fitness vacation that you can revisit later. It could be a photo book, video compilation, or even a private social media group where you collect all the moments. Such memories strengthen friendships and inspire planning the next joint fitness vacation.
Tips for documenting your fitness vacation:
- Designate an “official photographer” daily
- Keep a fun shared vacation diary
- Take “before and after” pictures of fun activities
- Collect everyone’s best moments and insights
- Plan your next fitness vacation on the final day
