Getaway Fitness

Participants in the Getaway Fitness weight-loss boot camps mix some calorie-burning in with their vacation. This program is centered around the idea of not using a vacation as a time to break a diet, but instead a time to establish one. Getaway Fitness operates retreat boot camps in Florida, California and the Caribbean regularly. The length of each trip varies depending upon time of year and rigor of the program in question. Participants in the program spend part of their time each day working out, then the rest seeing the sights. While in the program, all guests are provided with healthy meals as well as guidance on how to cook tasty and nutritious foods at home.
