We came as a group of 4 old school friends of varying fitnesses. CATHERINE with a K or with a C (it doesn't matter) was a fantastic host. The games were a right laugh and it was great to run round the Olympic stadium. It was lighthearted but we made it competitive. Catherine was very knowledgeable and spent time to tell us historical information and pitched it at the right level for us. It wasn't intense and anyone could take part really. We got to use and learn the technique on real javelin and discuss. The pentathalon was shotput, javelin (both with training equipment), standing long jump (which was harder than it looks), in the training area nearby then the finalie was the 100m and 400m events in the Olympic stadium to end. Oh you have to pay 10 euro to get in there or 5 euro for students.
It was a right laugh. As with anything, the company made it

Our favorite activity we booked in Athens! My husband and I had a blast trying out Olympic sports and running on the Panathenaic track. Our tour guide truly made the experience what it was and I cannot say enough good things about her and this tour.

Great family friendly activity! A highlight of Athens for our kids (9, 11, 13) and an engaging way to learn about the Olympics.

Really great tour/workout for our family of three. We all loved it, especially our athletic 10 year-old. We learned a little about the history of the Olympics, received some training on the javelin, discus, shot put and long jump, and then walked to the stadium and ran a few laps.

Fun hands on learning of Olympic history and super knowledgeable of athletics. Also introduced us to a culinary treasure the oregano potato chips. Wish we had those in the states. Had a ball!

Had a great morning working out with the trainer. She was extremely knowledgeable and educated us about the Olympic origins as we were exercising. Would recommend for others

Loli was a great coach and introduced us to the early games of the Olympiad, encouraging a healthy competition between myself and my spouse as we sampled the different sports. The exercise was light and fun, especially right in the cool morning. Touring the original stadium at the end was breathtaking much like the Acropolis. We did not get to do a run around the track due to a concert being prepared, but it was still awesome!

My family loved this activity! Katherine, our trainer, was a great instructor and shared many insights about the Olympic tradition in Greece and the buildings we saw. It was truly a highlight to run around the track of the Panathenaic Stadium. My sporty and active family (two adults and two kids ages 10 and 14) loved learning about each sport, how to properly do each one, and the competition. Katherine adjusted each event to be fairly contested. :)

We had a blast with Katerina! She was informative about the history of the Olympics and she hosted fun, interactive games for us to play as a family! It was perfect for my competitive teenagers! If I can blend them getting some history while having fun then that is a win!

Great way for young kids to teens to enjoy Greece/Athens by taking part in its oldest tradition. Our coach Tonya was wonderful at engaging with the youngest kids (elementary aged) and all kids enjoyed the hands on games. We visited during a heat wave and Tonya did a great job finding shady spots and made sure we kept hydrated. Would highly recommend for kids and adults who want to have hands on fun! Do not need to be super sporty to participate either.
