Kamloops Health and Fitness

At Urban Links, golfers up their games with hands-on training sessions with certified instructors and access to an indoor facility with the latest in golf training technology. Golfers can cure their slice-, shank-, or narcolepsy-prone swings inside hitting bays that feature TrackMan swing-analysis software, which uses motion sensors and video playback to break down swinging motions. Urban Links’ resident aces also enlist TrackMan technology to help players find out the club specifications that best fit their swing and body type. Along with lessons and club-fitting sessions, golfers can take advantage of the equipment and develop secret handshakes with cyborg Greg Normans during independent practice sessions in the hitting bays.

With the towering mountains and crystal-blue lake of the Okanagan Valley as a backdrop, Lake View Boot Camp head trainer Tammy Arishenkoff and her staffers work their students hard in pursuit of a noble goal. Cooled by the fresh mountain air and serenaded by the freestyle raps of birds, groups spend four weeks attacking creative and challenging routines on assorted terrains, in the process slimming physiques, toning muscles, and ascending to new heights of fitness. When it becomes too cold to hold classes outside, trainers move sessions to an indoor fitness studio. Instructors also provide students with frequent fitness and nutritional advice, urging them not to undo workouts by eating unhealthily or jogging home backward.
