Charleston, SC (ContentDesk) June 29, 2006 -- The Women's Retreat & Bikini Boot Camp is heading straight to the beach. Palm Beach, FL will be the new home for this fitness packed health getaway. No bikini necessary for this 6 night boot camp adventure. The focus is fitness and wellness with a wide variety of active classes including martial cardio blast which is a combination of cardio mix with martial arts influence, bikini boot camp sessions, yoga, best abs ever, nutrition, stress reduction, massage and more. Margot Rutigliano, founder of Bella Vita Retreat, felt it was time to take Bikini Boot Camp straight to the beach.

Partnering with an oceanfront boutique hotel, guests will enjoy the hard hitting fitness blast along with the amenities of a small resort. With a setting fit for queens, working out will be easy with a backdrop of the ocean and a private beach. This is the perfect way to shape up, get motivated and have some fun in the sun all at the same time, says Rutigliano.Although Bikini Boot Camp is fitness focused, the retreat is about getting in shape and developing lifelong patterns to stay in shape.
