365fitt Healthy Active Living Trip - Captiva Island, FL 

A 365fitt Healthy Active Living Trip is about more than just a fitness vacation or weight loss camp;  it is designed to help you reconnect by stepping out of your normal routine, setting time aside just for you. This trip is a combination of exercise, healthy eating, adventure, relaxing and pampering. You will leave feeling healthier not only in body, but in mind and spirit as well.

 Your Accommodations

We are pleased to be returning to  Sea Oats Luxury Estate on Captiva Island, Florida.  It's an amazing 9 bedroom home and guest house with private pool and tennis court right on the water (Roosevelt Channel).  Across the street are the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico!  You may also enjoy watching the video of our beautiful accommodations for the week.  We have a variety of bedroom accommodations,  ranging from twin beds to shared King or Queen beds to a private cottage on the grounds, depending on your need for privacy.  Please see below for a description of room accommodations.

 Your Activities

Since you're here to get physical, we have planned every imaginable activity for you to participate in and enjoy.  We have rented bikes, kayaks and stand up paddleboards (SUP) for the week so you can tour the island and waterways.  We have a private tennis court for you to swing a racket, a pool in which to water exercise or water jog or simply relax, a beach and patio on which we will do yoga and pilates and show you new ways to use and take care of your body.  We'll offer a variety of group and individual activities to challenge your current level of fitness.  

 Your Chefs

Your private chefs for the week, Jennifer Karraker-Baldwin and Corrie Dye-Hale are returning in 2015 to bring you an experience in dining you'll remember and talk about when you get home!  The 365fitt nutritional philosophy is all about eating "good things" including lots of fresh fruits and vegetables plus fresh local fish, chicken and meats.  365fitt serves food that is "from the earth to your plate".  Some might describe it as whole food nourishment, thus avoiding preservatives and processed foods.  We do not portion foods, but provide meals that are high fiber, full of vitamins and nutrients, and loaded with flavor!  Check out the 365fitt Pinterest Healthy Food Board for a preview of some menu items from last year.
