Bella Boot Camp : Revamped Retreat Gives Clients More than Just a Hot Beach Body

June 23, 2010 - PRLog -- An all new line up of cooking classes, health seminars and creative fitness classes will be launched at Vita Vie Retreat's Bella Boot Camp location late this summer. Classes including grocery shopping, interactive cooking classes and health seminars will compliment the intense fitness activities at their new Pompano Beach location.

Learning how to maintain a healthy lifestyle is what clients will learn at this all encompassing retreat. Margot Rutigliano, Retreat Coordinator for Vita Vie Retreat, decided it was important to implement an educational component to the program based upon client requests for classes and seminars that will pave the way for their success when they return home from this fitness retreat. "It starts with nutrition and hard work. Not only is it important for people to look their best, but it's also important for them to feel their best. They need to learn how to incorporate healthy eating into their daily lives. We're living in a fast paced world and being healthy is key to maintaining energy. We're not just teaching people how to look good. There's more to it than that," Says Ms. Rutigliano. The health spa concept retreat is a learning experience as well as a relaxing escape. Guests leave with take home workouts, nutrition and health information.

In addition to the cooking seminars, guests will also be challenged physically with an array of new classes including “Over Age Recess”, an all new class targeted at incorporating old school recess games such as jumping rope and hop scotch in a way that will raise the heart rate up while toning and strengthening muscles. In addition, cardio ropes classes will be integrated  with  martial arts moves to keep the blood pumping. Days will begin around 8:30 with the cardio challenge or morning beach walk followed by the grueling strength and agility sessions. From there the days will lead in a few different directions including classes like pilates mat, yoga flow, core conditioning, stretch for strength, spinning, stress reduction and more. Guests will then wrap up the day with a hot steam, swim in the ocean or a specialty spa treatment.

Holding retreats at The Marriott Residence Inn and Spa in Pompano Beach, FL allows guests can enjoy spacious rooms with plush bedding, oversized bathrooms with tile floors and granite countertops, washer and dryer in every room, full kitchen and coffee maker with Starbucks coffee. All rooms have an ocean view and balcony and offer complimentary wireless internet. In addition, the resort features a full spa with vichey showers and hydrotherapy tubs, a full fitness center with cybex equipment, rooftop running track, group fitness room, men's and women's locker rooms and Oceano Bistro.
