About a week ago I was heading to the gorgeous island of Jamaica to teach fitness classes for a week at the all-inclusive Couples Swept Away Resort. Judging from the photo gallery from the resorts website, the resort looked beautiful, but it was even more amazing in person.

If you’re a fitness enthusiast who works out even on vacation, but dread going to the resort’s fitness facility that usually involves a couple of treadmills and weight machines in a white walled room, The Couples Swept Away fitness facility will blow your mind!

I never been to a resort that had a whole fitness facility on site – and when I say whole fitness facility I mean, they have a HUGE studio where fitness classes are held twice daily. There are cardio groove classes, spin classes, body pumping classes, yoga, pilates and of course reggae abs classes.

There’s also a weight machine room that is open (no windows or doors), a lap pool where aquacize classes are held or you could do just laps, tennis courts, squash courts and a pool table.

There’s also a guest tennis instructor each week that teaches tennis lessons. So whether you want to play on your own or learn how-to play, the choice is yours.

The fitness facility also has a health bar which has declicious fresh fruit smoothies, granola bar snacks, and fresh fruit infused water (and I don’t mean bottled!). They also serve coffee, water and other health drinks.

Near the health bar is a lounge area where the sports channel is constantly on, so for those men…or women, who want to keep up to date on their sports, can. There are also locker rooms with saunas and steam rooms for both men and women.

I’m telling you, if you and a loved one are looking for the perfect getaway, but must workout – this is the place! Even if you don’t workout, the resort is all-inclusive and is just amazing.

The couple staying next to our room told us they extended their stay because they loved it so much.
