About Okanagan Fitness Vacations

Aerial view of the City of Kelowna
Our fitness vacation concept dawned on us one evening while we watched "The Biggest Loser" television program. The idea of "fitness camp retreats" boomed all over the United States because of the shows popularity.

We thought to other selves, how can we improve on what the Biggest Loser has started?

Two MAIN categories came to mind; World Class Workouts and Nutritional Timing.

World class workouts differ for each individual, and through our vast knowledge in training we can tailor make your workout plan according to your goals, injuries (if you have any), and fitness levels.

For example; being among a handful of trainers in ALL  of Canada certified in the "Kan goo Jumps" we know that you WILL be burning 25% MORE calories than traditional cardiovascular exercise, while at the same time taking 80% of the impact off your joints. What does this mean for you???
 Longer, safer, and just plain funner workouts! 

Check out the video of them below;

 


Check out this video clip of one of our four workout DVDs we have made;


 
Mike (your main trainer is in the front leading) and Joanne is on the left ripping it up after her first baby! 


Here's a little more info about one of YOUR new Trainer's "Boot camp Mike";
This is important stuff, you're only as good as your teacher!!!



Certified as a Personal Trainer, Weight Trainer, Kan goo Jumps Trainer, Third Age Trainer.

"Boot camp Mike" knows what it's like to eat the wrong foods and thus have the "bloated" look below;



He also knows what it's like to eat the RIGHT ones that yield results;




Here are some past video's of "Boot camp Mike" in action; (the best way to get to know your trainer is to see him workout!)














"Boot camp Mike" has been running boot camp style workouts since 2006, no matter what your goal is, he will get you there!



Here's a little more info about YOUR  other new Trainer Joanne, (aka "The Tank");


 Certified as a Personal Trainer, Weight Trainer, Kan goo Jump Trainer, and Maximized Living Mentor 




"The Tank" has also felt the repercussions of fad diets;







But... she has also yielded their fruits!










 Here is a past video of "The Tank" in action with husband Mike and new arrival Justice;




 Joanne has had two baby boys only one year apart (now 2years and 3years) and she knows a little bit about being an over comer, and she is ready to melt the FAT off YOU!




 Nutritional Timing (specific foods, times of day, and portions) also differs for each individual, based on their age, activity level, and overall goals. 

For example someone who wants to gain muscle size would get their carbohydrates from more starches like; potatoes and rice, while someone else who wanted to lose body fat would get their carbohydrates from more complex sources like certain types of vegetables.


We are certified; "Maximized Living Mentors", (http://www.maximizedliving.com/), so you can be sure our meal planning methods are designed around PROVEN science, and are healthy and safe for the long term. 

Not only are we certified through a Doctors Association, but we have been our own guinea pigs the last 10years, researching and trying the latest supplements and fad diets to find the best approach.

Check out this video clip of us when we got super excited about a new recipe we found;
