"Top 10 Destination Boot Camps "

In the sunshine state of Florida, St Pete Beach is home to Getaway Fitness' boot camp at the TradeWinds Island Grand Resort.

Travelers come to St Pete for the pristine white sand coastline, clear gulf waters and to soak up the sun. All this makes St Pete Beach the ideal location for a butt-kicking workout.

A typical day begins with a beach boot camp session and is followed by 5-6 hours of structured, intensive fitness activities until about 2:30pm when guests are free to make the most of the beach, spa services or just relax. Read full article here.

"Healthy Haven"

As the sun slowly peeks over the high-rises and onto the white sands of St. Pete Beach, a throng of spandex and tank top-clad crazies drop to the ground for their fourth set of push-ups since 7:30 a.m. After 90 minutes of burpees, lunges, squats and other forms of boot camp-like torture, the pack will jog two to three miles up the beach, stretch, then fuel up for four more hours of activity before they call it quits for the day.

This sweaty pack of exercisers doesn’t just enjoy this sort of activity—they’ve made a vacation out of it.

“Destination fitness camps have become increasingly popular as our culture becomes more focused on wellness,” says Maria Walker, owner of Getaway Fitness. “Being able to get away from your everyday life to reboot and revive your body has proven to be a valuable and memorable experience for people interested in living a healthier lifestyle.” Read full article here.

"Fitness Retreats in Florida: Checking Out of Life, But Checking Into Yourelf"

Although fitness retreats are open to anyone, experts acknowledge that most people who attend usually already live active lives. Many people who are looking to shed a few pounds choose fitness retreats, but those who need to drop large amounts of weight are often steered to weight loss camps, which offer more counseling, said Getaway Fitness' Maria Walker.

Most of her clients are women in their 30s to 50s. The retreats, she said, often appeal to single travelers who enjoy the camaraderie of a group-style vacation but couldn't convince anyone to come along.

The retreats are usually limited to under a dozen participants.

"Some people say fitness and vacation are an oxymoron," Walker said. "I like to call it a 'fitness adventure.' It's a great experience to discover fun things in Florida and get a great workout." Read the full article here.

"Local Company Capitalizing on New Trend: Fitness Vacations"

People from all over the world are coming to St. Pete beach for vacation...but instead of beach balls they're tossing medicine balls around. "It's a luxury fitness vacation," said Lauren Palm, a personal trainer for Getaway Vacations. Running, lifting and sweating on the soft sand is what Australian Tim Millikan paid thousands for. "The idea is I'll get some good habits and get back on track and keep going," Millikan said.

The fitness vacation company takes their guests through around 5 hours of exercise a day. "It's not super high intense the whole time. We get the high intensity out of the way first thing and then after breakfast we do something a little more fun like kayaking or the paddle boarding," Palm said. Read the full article here.
