Raise your hand if you need a vacation<\/a>! With winter on the way, it\u2019s officially time to start fantasizing about your next getaway. While there\u2019s nothing like an all-inclusive resort, it\u2019s easy to leave those trips a few pounds heavier than you were before. (We blame the buffets.) That\u2019s why we\u2019re all about the seemingly endless number<\/a> of new retreats emphasizing fitness over feasting.<\/p>\n

The problem: Many wellness trips aren\u2019t exactly cheap. So we combed through the options and found seven fitness-centric vacations that all clock in at less than $2,000 per stay. Pro tip: Get your travel buddy on board \u2014 most packages offer their best prices to duos. Plus, the cost of coming back<\/a> from vacation feeling better than you did before: Priceless.<\/p>\n
