Surrounded by rolling mountains and the shimmering waters of Okanagan Lake, packs of go-karts spend their days chasing each other around Westside Go Karts? challenging track. Westside Go Karts allows adult karts to navigate four hairpin and four banked turns at various speeds?basic single and double karts can hit 35 kph, performance karts are capable of 60 kph, and Extreme karts reach velocities of up to 75 kph. Kiddie karts putter around a separate track, offering their young operators important driving tips, such as how to pass politely. After the races are finished, drivers may receive a personalized print-out or e-mail of their lap times, view them through a smart phone app, and have them posted to Facebook.
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.
The founders of OgoPlay built their business with the boundless energy of their own three children in mind, devising a safe, interactive layout filled with cushy foam, huge twisting slides, and challenging obstacle mazes. Kids aged 3 and older tunnel through spacious plastic tubes at the padded playground while wobbly tykes entertain themselves in the toddler area, where they can befriend fellow munchkins amidst soft, low playthings, educational letter blocks, and herds of friendly foam animals. Meanwhile, parents can kick back on padded benches and blow saliva bubbles as they watch their beloved progeny hone their social and motor skills. Birthday-party packages and an on-site caf? fuel all-day fun with kid-friendly feasts of grilled-cheese sandwiches and juice boxes.
Inside a steamy studio, the experienced yogis at Bikram Yoga Westbank spend 90 minutes leading students of all skill levels through a series of 26 poses developed by Bikram Choudhury. Bikram brought his system from India to the U.S. at the request of the American Medical Association. Since then, he founded the Yoga College of India and has taught both actors and athletes. During each class, poses massage internal organs, stimulate nervous systems, and release deficient enzymes and hormones—a process that brings balance to the body, increases flexibility, and enables the average person to sleep inside a sock drawer.
