11th Annual Beach Fitness Camp
Starts August 3

From August 3 to 14, exercise physiologist, fitness personality and elite endurance athlete Tom Holland will lead his 11th Annual Nantucket Beach Fitness Camp.  Held in the early morning at Jetties Beach, participants are led through cardiovascular drills, strength exercises, plyometric and agility stations, team events and more.  “Campers” include beginner exercisers to advanced athletes of all ages, yet Tom’s unparalleled experience and education allow him to provide workouts tailored to all fitness levels. The Nantucket Beach Fitness Camp is a truly unique exercise experience as Tom entertains while educating, giving a great workout without the “boot camp” feel. Many participants return each year and a strong camaraderie among members is formed each summer. The cost is $40 per day and each session is limited. One week sessions are available for $150, two week sessions for $275 and both include a 2009 ACKfit technical shirt. The camp is sponsored by PowerBar and Honest Tea.

 Tom Holland is on of the most sought-after fitness experts today. He holds a Master’s Degree in Exercise Science & Sport Psychology and has been certified by ACSM, NASM, NSCA-CSCS and ACE. He is the author of The Marathon Method and The 12-Week Triathlete and has starred in numerous fitness videos including the Abs Diet Workout.
