Ultimate Team Building in London 2025

In today’s fast-paced corporate landscape, workplace wellbeing has never been more crucial. Rising mental health concerns, financial pressures, and a need for holistic health solutions are impacting employees' productivity and happiness. But what if the solution lies not just in the office but outside on the river?

At Fulham Reach Boat Club, we believe in the transformative power of sport—specifically, rowing—to rejuvenate teams, build stronger connections, and promote mental and physical well-being. Here’s why incorporating sports into workplace wellbeing strategies makes sense and how our unique rowing experiences can help.

Why Sport? A Holistic Approach to Health

Research consistently highlights the importance of holistic health—an integrated approach that nurtures mental, physical, social, and even spiritual well-being. Sports like rowing offer a natural way to address these aspects:

• Physical Health: Rowing engages the entire body, improving cardiovascular fitness, core strength, and endurance.
• Mental Health: Physical activity is proven to reduce stress and anxiety while boosting mood and mental clarity.
• Social Connection: Rowing demands teamwork, fostering communication, trust, and collaboration—key workplace skills.
• Mindfulness and Focus: The rhythm of rowing on the Thames offers a rare opportunity to disconnect from screens and reconnect with the present moment.

The Corporate Rowing Experience

We’ve designed tailored rowing packages to align with key workplace goals:

• Just Row: Perfect for team-building, this hands-on experience strengthens communication and trust while immersing participants in the iconic course of the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race.
• Environmental Action Day: Combine rowing with environmental stewardship through our 'Pollution ROWbellion' initiative. Teams can contribute to river preservation while enhancing their own sense of purpose.
• Mental Well-Being Day: Prioritize mental health with rowing sessions paired with expert-led workshops on stress management, meditation, and holistic health strategies.

The Benefits of Investing in Wellbeing

The business case for workplace wellbeing is clear. Improved employee health reduces absenteeism, increases engagement, and can significantly enhance productivity. According to McKinsey, businesses that invest in holistic health could unlock economic value equivalent to £4,000–£12,000 per employee annually.

Moreover, rowing isn’t just about fitness—it’s about building resilience, camaraderie, and joy. As Vicky Walker of Westfield Health notes, “Happy and healthy employees are the most productive.” What better way to cultivate happiness and health than by embracing the thrill of the river?
