Here is my beach bootcamp secret. Have each member bring a pillow case. They can fill it an appropriate amount of sand weight for their level. Tie a knot and let the lunges, presses and pain begin!
It you have access, kettlebells and medballs go a long way on the beach!
And that doesnt wokr there are endless bodyweight exercises when performed with proper form will kick their asses! Good Luck Coach Briody

Congratulations! This is so exciting and being on the beach opens up a world of opportunity. I've been running bootcamps on my own for about 6 years now and in all honesty my best ones have required no equipment. I'd have them bring a beach towel or mat (thought the towels actually clean easier in my experience) for floor work. When everything is body weight based modifications are way easy. If you're looking to add some resistance methods, bands are a good place to start. With only 5 to start, be careful that your overhead stays low. Think outside the box and be super creative. You've come this far already and you already have clientel: this is the fun part :)
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Hey Whitney,
First off, I would ask what are your City's restrictions? Do you have a permit? This matters either way as if you are not going the "legal" route...the less you want to bring attention to yourself.
I myself, would not do this without a city permit; but it is not for me to judge other's choices.
I will check back....with some ideas if you are indeed within the City's code.
Best, Joy

Sand jogging is challenging and you have that to use at the beach!
I'm assuming you've followed all the necessary procedures in order to use that area for your boot camps.
Look around the beach and use what is available... are there stairs, benches, maybe a recreational area with monkey bars?
As far as equipment, bands and tubes are inexpensive and travel/pack well.
Why not bring beach balls to toss and catch while doing crunches?
How about pool noodles to use in place of a body bar for forward reaches when doing squats or overhead extensions and then side to side.
You could always do circuit stations if you don't have enough equipment.
I use my TRX at the beach and you'll definitely attract those onlookers while using it!

Just to answer the equipment question:
1) Resistance bands
2) Stability balls
3) Aerobic steps
So much versatility can be accomplished with just these 3 items. Most don't take up much space but take a little prep work to have ready. (ie. blowing up the stability balls)

Definitely resistance tubes or bands, medicine balls of different weights, and definitely mats. With these three things you can offer lots of variety, full-body exercises, and some partner exercise training. Good luck, I think it's great that you're venturing out on your own! :-)

The suggestions that you have received are right on and I would look further into partnering. A lot can be done that way and takes little or no equipment. Good Luck.

take some empty bags and fill them up for a warm up then use the sand bags for your workout. Bands can go anywhere as well.
Between some sand bags and bands you should be able to do a pretty good boot camp workout.
You could also buy some empty 5 gal water jugs and fill them up for farmer walks on the sand..that would be a great workout.
