Why a Boot Camp Vacation?

Boot camp workouts are a fantastic way  to get the results you  want and also as a fun alternative to a gym workout.  Boot camp retreats give participants the enjoyment of being outdoors, an intensive diverse workout, and more important, the results that come from a workout of this level; reduction of body fat, improved muscle mass and weight loss.  A fitness and wellness retreat may be just what you need to achieve the results you are looking for.  Get your fitness routine on track at our Florida or California boot camp retreat locations. 

Weight Loss

If weight loss is your goal then you have come to the right place.  We offer the exercise intensity of a fitness camp but in a luxury setting.  Our Getaway Fitness menus provides guests with healthy meals and our “Healthy Cooking Shopping Excursion” teaches our guests how to read labels, understand the content of what they purchase and provides them with the knowledge to choose and prepare healthier meals.  Many  programs do not arm guests to face “real world” situations such as dining out with co-workers or friends.  Our fitness and wellness retreat provides meals in a “real world” setting that educates our guests and teaches them how to make healthy meal selections and to modify meals so they can be anywhere and still make healthy food choices. 

Who is a Candidate for our Fitness and Wellness Retreats?

Many guests that call about our fitness retreats  ask questions regarding how fit they need to be to participate. They wonder about our other guests, are they here to lose weight or to tone up.  Do they have a little or a lot of weight to lose and are they currently active in a fitness routine.  

Our guests have varying fitness levels.  Some have been engaged in fitness activities, both cardio and weight training, several times per week and are on a regular fitness routine. These guests typically are coming to perhaps spice up their fitness program at home and/or to learn new things or to train for a specific fitness event such as a race.  Other guests have not been as active, or were at one time and have lost their fitness and dietary habits. These guests are looking to restart a health and fitness program, learn about nutrition, how to cook and eat healthier and in most cases are looking to lose weight.  How much weight they wish to lose varies by guest.  We can accommodate the diversity in  our guests fitness levels.  

Each guest completes an extensive profile that tell us how active they have been, what types of fitness they have been doing at home and also what their nutritional habits are.  We also obtain medical information about the guest that we may need to factor into their exercise program.  Injuries may require us to alter an activity or direct them to work that muscle group in a different way.  This profile allows us to adjust for the variances in our guests fitness levels and it also allows us to personalize the program and plan how we will help our guest meet their health and fitness goals during their vacation
