How Bad Can Boot Camp At Buccament Bay Really Be?

Travel is all about choice: do you splurge on a business class ticket, or settle in for a cozy ride in economy? Spend the morning on the beach or shopping in town? Or, better yet, go shopping first for a new bathing suit, which you can then wear on the beach?

Here's question for all you Caribbean jetsetters: on your next visit to Buccament Bay Spa & Resort, would you consider taking part in an all-inclusive boot camp program? Now, before you go diving under the covers picturing mean-faced drill sergeants screaming at you to do more push-ups than are humanly possible, just keep in mind this is actually a luxury boot camp. So while the goal is to work out, the parallel goal is also to pamper.

Included in the five-day, six-night program (which starts at $4,309 for single occupancy and $7,724 for double occupancy) are not one but two personal trainers, who help tailor the program to your fitness needs. A different itinerary is offered each day (to keep the exercising interesting), and workouts could include anything from hiking to kayaking to soccer to weight-lifting. Then again, this is boot camp, so it's probably a combination of all of 'em.

Alongside the workout regimen, guests are given a specially-selected, balanced menu of high-protein, high-carbohydrate foods, many of which use local products.

Fitness instruction, meals, airport transfer, beverages, and one private tennis lesson are included in the price. Which certainly makes things easier�once you've 'chosen' this as the program for you, everything else can pretty much fall into place.
