Steve Nash Fitness World & Sports Club also believes in a total healthy-living lifestyle, and supports their members to help them reach their fitness goals. With their latest location opening mid-March in Orchard Plaza Shopping Centre, Steve Nash Fitness World & Sports Club can’t wait to help you get started.             

Know Your Goals

You can’t know where you’re going or how far you’ve come if you don’t know where you started. Before you get too carried away with your new and improved lifestyle, be sure to take stock of where you are currently. From there, you will be able to set realistic short and long-term goals. As you track your progress, you will see those small weekly improvements add up, keeping you motivated when times get tough.

If you need help setting your goals, your new home at Steve Nash Fitness World & Sports Club can help. Each member receives a complimentary goal assessment that is specific to your needs and goals, helping you keep that motivation and track your success.

Get Juiced

All the fruits and veggies you could need in one, convenient cup! The exPress Juice Co. truck, located at 1155 Ellis Street, serves up freshly pressed juice daily, packed with the nutrients that you need to power your body.

Enjoy a Kanye Pressed with carrot, apple, pineapple, and orange to reduce risks of lung, breast, and colon cancer. Opt for a John Lemon, which has lemon, cayenne, and apple, to aid in weight loss and detoxification.

Get Your Zen On

When you are ready to release some stress or come down from your workout high, try getting into your zen zone at Float Space. Enjoy floating in a near zero gravity environment and allow your stress and pressure to disappear. This is a great opportunity to allow some peace and quiet into your mind, reflect on your day, and set your goals for the week ahead.

Eat The Good Stuff

Is it just us, or does it seem like there is a new study, superfood, or thing you can’t eat every day? Knowing what to eat to achieve your goals can be a full-time job in itself, but it is often the most important part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Luckily for you, Steve Nash Fitness World & Sports Club offers a personalized nutrition plan for each of their members.

Now that you know what to eat, you will be thrilled to know that the Okanagan Valley is home to plenty of farmland and optimal growing conditions for a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. When you live in Kelowna, not only do you get to purchase great produce, you also get to benefit from their short shelf-life, ensuring you receive all of the vitamins and nutrients you need.

To shop for locally produced and whole foods, look no farther than the Kelowna Farmer’s and Crafter’s Market! Located indoors at Parkinson Recreation Centre during the winter months (November-March), and in the summer sunshine across Dilworth Road from Orchard Park Shopping Centre, the Farmer’s Market is home to many local produce growers.

If you’d prefer that someone else cook the healthy stuff for you, stop by one of the fabulous health-conscious restaurants in the Valley. Restaurants such as Hotel Eldorado, Waterfront Wines, and Raudz Regional Table serve up great farm to table dishes. For some vegetarian or vegan eats, try out Naked Cafe in downtown Kelowna or the Gratitude Cafe in the Lower Mission area.
