As we step into a new year, many of us are looking to incorporate healthier habits into our routine and prioritize our well-being. In the City Gardens neighbourhood, we have mastered the art of blending urban living with a health-conscious lifestyle that will allow future residents to foster a happier life. In addition to the fitness studio at Trillium tower, which includes cardio equipment, free weights and a yoga studio, downtown Kamloops has a variety of fitness centres that cater to every workout style, as well as outdoor spots that encourage mindfulness.
Be prepared to break a sweat as you pedal to the rhythm at some of Kamloops’ indoor cycling studios – KSpin and Stride. If you enjoy a dynamic and fast-paced workout full of energy and music, these two are the option for you. Ride to the beat while focusing on various cardio and strength workouts and start off the new year by pushing your limits. And if you are new to spinning, both studios offer flexible and low-cost drop-in sessions.
If you are looking for a workout that combines strength and flexibility to improve alignment and posture and relieve back pain, check out The Pilates Tree at #101- 409 Seymour Street. Discover the transformative powers of pilates and build a strong foundation for the new year.
Boxing and beats? Scrapyard Boxing offers distinctive and electric non-contact group classes that will challenge your mind and body. If you are still a beginner, don’t worry because their classes are designed to accommodate to all skills levels to ensure you feel strong and empowered after each session.
What if you want barre, strength training, pilates, and yoga all in one? Movement Collective is the place to be. This fitness centre offers a variety of classes for all levels, allowing you to decide what type of movement you want. With every workout being different, you are guaranteed a unique and fun time here.
Last but not least, Let’s Move Studio is Kamloops’ longest running and most diverse studio offering yoga, wellness and dance classes open to all levels and ages. Try it out if you are looking for a refreshing workout to create a happier lifestyle.
And if you want to exercise while staying on a budget, join the Park Run at Riverside Park every Saturday starting at 9 a.m. or explore the scenic hiking trails at Peterson Creek Park and take advantage of the benefits of outdoor exercise with the tranquility of nature.
As you can already tell, the City Gardens neighbourhood has something unique for those starting their fitness journey. So, lace up your sneakers, grab your water bottle, and make 2024 a year of thriving and cultivating a healthier and happier lifestyle.
