Bootylicious Bootcamp Shoot-ideas?

Hi folks,
I'm shooting some advertisement shots for a personal trainer who does bootcamps, 1 on 1 training, etc. We'll be at a beach with a group of girls (trainer is female, too). It will be about 1.5-2.5 hours to sunset (yay!) There's lots of driftwood logs for props, etc.
My brain is reeling with ideas: running, push-up lines, silhouette's, laughing, grunting.
Any obvious shots I'm missing? I'll have my tripod there, maybe an assistant or 2nd tripod, and an off-camera flash. Lens from 18 to 200mm.
Many thanks.

I suggest that you should capture what people actually do -- sit-ups, planks, sprints, burpees, yoga poses, jumping jacks, jumping drills, partner exercises, etc. And show why the bootcamp environment is so better than a normal gym since you're actually outside instead of a dark ugly gym. The beach location will help… Show how the things around you can be used in the workout. Setup the driftwood in a ladder formation and have the group jump over them or a suicide drill with the drift wood. If there are low wooden pillars, or a bench, have people do dips on them, etc.
Sample of bootcamp web sites:
bay area bootcamp just static photos
san jose bootcamp -- has a moving slide show with various photos
The photos are not the best, but it shows you what people are looking for when they're looking for a program.
In general, show people having fun, smiling, laughing, supporting each other, sweating a little bit, but not pushed to their limit even thought most bootcamp workouts push your body to the edge. It also helps to show that the coach is there with the students -- correcting form, encouraging, too etc.
