Kelowna’s own LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic is set to celebrate a full year of helping to make the Okanagan a healthier place. 

For those who may not know, LIVE WELL is far from your average gym. The facility is backed by a team of experienced kinesiologists and clinical exercise physiologists who specialize in medical fitness and lifestyle coaching. 

Now, those big words may seem daunting and hard to understand, but the team and programming at LIVE WELL is anything but. 

"[We] focus on providing safe, supervised exercise for our members with fun, enjoyable and social [fitness] classes,” said Cameron Biffart, co-owner of LIVE WELL Kelowna. 

“The is no intimidation here, we just want people to feel comfortable [and] come as they are,” added Michelle Biffart, who is also co-owner.
