Frequently Asked Questions

Team of experts managing resort fitness programs and pioneer of teaching vacation opportunities for instructors and coaches. Suzelle Snowden founded Fit Bodies in 1993, pivoting her aerobics instructor training studio into guest instructor programming at resorts.  

Opportunity for fitness, yoga, sports, and wellness leaders to instruct class to guests at luxurious resorts. Instructors are at the resort on a guest basis, while also vacationing. Members always pay a booking fee per week of reservation, and their own airfare. Companions and dining are included; on the booking site, each position outlines its inclusions.

There is a maximum of four people allowed in a room at family resorts.  You can either have two adults , plus two children ages 12 or younger or three adults, where the 3^rd adult is between the ages of 13-17, with a nightly rate for the 3^rd adult, plus one child age 12 or younger. This is a resort rule, not a Fit Bodies, Inc. rule and applies to children over 2 and cannot be altered. If you have more than 2 children and an adult companion you will need a second room. Fit Bodies, Inc. customer service can assist with rates and availability.

As of 2023, we are unable to accommodate 3 adults in a room; upgrading to a different room category is not an option in this scenario. Our contract with our resort partners is for the pro and one adult companion (Adult resorts) or 2 adults and 2 children (all ages resorts). 

 
Booking an additional Room - Contact us at [email protected] Our in-house travel agent, would be happy to quote additional room rates for your additional companion(s).
