CrossFitting While Traveling: How to keep training during holiday?

✈️🌴 Summer’s here, and that means adventure, rest… and for many of us, a break from our usual training routine. But who says holidays and CrossFit can’t go hand in hand?

Whether you're island hopping in Thailand, exploring a European city, or visiting family abroad, it’s totally possible to stay active — without compromising the fun.

Here’s how to keep your CrossFit spirit alive while traveling 👇

🏋️ 1. Pack the Essentials

You don’t need to bring your barbell in your suitcase — but a few items can go a long way:

• Jump rope for double-unders or quick cardio

• Resistance band for mobility and strength work

• Wrist wraps or grips if you plan to drop into a box

  
  

📍2. Drop Into a Local Box

One of the best things about CrossFit is the global community. Most cities have boxes that welcome drop-ins!

• Search on Google Maps or use the CrossFit Affiliate Map

• Reach out in advance and check the WOD schedule

• Bonus: it’s a fun way to meet locals and discover new coaching styles

✅ Pro tip: wear your home box’s T-shirt — instant conversation starter!

🏖️ 3. Hotel WODs Are Your Friend

No gym? No problem. You can crush a solid workout in your hotel room, on the beach, or in a park.

Here are some classic travel-friendly WODs:

• “Deck of Cards”: Hearts = squats, Diamonds = burpees, etc.

• EMOM 12: 10 push-ups, 15 air squats, 20 jumping jacks

• AMRAP 15: 20 mountain climbers, 10 V-ups, 5 hand-release push-ups

Need inspiration? We've created a holiday guide for workouts with and without equipement. So don't hesitate to pack it with you to make sure you stay in shape!

🍕 4. Enjoy the Food, Move Your Body

It’s okay to indulge. You're on holiday! But moving a little every day helps:

• Boost your mood

• Digest better

• Sleep deeper

Think of training as your reset button, not a chore.

🧘 5. Focus on Mobility

Use this time to give your body some love:

• Stretch by the pool

• Do 10 minutes of mobility before bed

• Follow a quick yoga flow from YouTube or Instagram

Your joints and shoulders will thank you when you’re back under the barbell.

💬 Final Thoughts

Training during holidays isn’t about chasing PRs. It’s about keeping the habit alive, staying energized, and feeling good in your body.

Whether it’s a quick hotel WOD or a drop-in at a new box — every rep counts.

So pack your shoes, enjoy every moment, and remember:You don’t need four walls to CrossFit. You just need heart.
