International Palms Cocoa Beach Announces Beach Boot Camp & Bike Tours from Fitness/Eco Expert

Jan. 31, 2013 - PRLog -- Located shoreline along Florida’s eastern coastline , the International Palms Resort and Conference Center Cocoa Beach wants guests to leave relaxed and refreshed, but also stronger, leaner, and more knowledgeable about the area surrounding the resort.  Led by Certified Personal Trainer and former Fish & Wildlife Officer Michael Slotin, the resort’s new hour-long beach boot camp and fat bike tours are designed specifically as fitness workouts, but include tidbits from Slotin’s experience as a wildlife officer.

         “As so many of our guests discover, our Florida beach location is ideal for outdoor exercise,” stated resort General Manager Tim Michaud.  “Unlike similar programs, guests who enjoy our boot camp and bike tours will also benefit from Michael’s vast knowledge of the ecosystem surrounding the property.”

Boot Camp classes take place Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 5 to 6 p.m., while bike tours occur on Tuesday and Thursday at 7:30 and 8:30 a.m.  Boot camp participants can expect to train in and out of the water, using benches, buckets, trees, and more.  Bike tours are unique as the fat bikes were originally made for rides through the snow along the Alaskan Iditarod Trail.  The four-inch tires provide exceptional stability for riders through water and in the sand.  Classes are $15 per person, and you must be at least 18 years old to participate.  Reservations are not required, but are strongly recommended.

         The largest resort on Florida’s Space Coast, the International Palms Resort and Conference Center Cocoa Beach is set within 16 acres of tropical paradise and offers a variety of comfortable beach accommodations– from family-friendly kid suites to oversized poolside cabana rooms.  The property’s exceptional amenities include a 150,000-gallon heated Junior Olympic pool; pirate-themed kid’s pool; and sports complex with tennis courts, shuffle board, sand volleyball, and half-court basketball.  Guests can also enjoy the resort’s full-service beach activities center; XL game room/arcade; complimentary Wi-Fi in all guest rooms; four restaurants and lounges; and weekly live entertainment and shows for adults and children alike.  With more than 13,000 square feet of flexible indoor and 15,000 square feet of breathtaking outdoor function space, the property can accommodate groups and events with up to 600 guests.
