At the Don CeSar Beach resort in Tampa Bay, Florida, most of the guests come to relax and enjoy the tranquil beach environment. But there is one group of guests who come here to do the opposite, as they participate in expensive fitness beach vacation packages.

These packages are modeled after boot camps, where participants are up at the crack of dawn doing hours of grueling workouts on the beach every morning. As such these trips really cater to "fitness fanatics" who want their vacations to be very active. The founder of the company Getaway Fitness that organizes the fitness vacations said that her goal was to combine luxury travel with a grueling workout. She said that people are interested in these trips for different reasons. Some want to get in shape, others are looking for a motivational boost to change their lives after going through a difficult experience.
