Unique Ways to Workout In North Vancouver

rock climbing

When it’s time to get that beach-ready body, you don’t need to spend hours at the gym doing the same repetitive exercises. You can get a workout doing the things you love, like rock climbing, paddleboarding, and even paintball. Check out these options for changing up your workout in North Van.

#1 – Rock Climbing

Rock climbing is one the best things you can do to stay fit in Vancouver. But if you’re new to the sport, start at the indoor gym before embarking on an outdoor adventure. At The Hive North Shore begin with an intro lesson and you’ll be bouldering like a pro in no time. Save some cash during Late Night Drop-In Hours, offered from 9pm to 11pm, or check out a monthly membership.

#2 – Paintball

Though it’s not what you’d expect from this combative sport, paintball’s adrenaline-pumping combination of running, crouching, and crawling makes it a great alternative fitness option. North Shore Paintball located on Lower Capilano Road right by the Lion’s Gate Bridge offers general admission at $25–$15 if you have your own gear. Be sure to check out their deals—women get in free on Fridays and Thursdays enjoy half-price admission. But note, this place is cash only.

#3 – SUP Yoga

There’s some pretty heavy motivation to nail your poses if failing to do so means falling in the water. Stand up paddleboarding yoga is an exciting and yet relaxing way to change up your workout. Meditating on the calm waters of Deep Cove will make you feel zen, while the yoga poses will exercise your legs, core, and arms. Check out SUP Yoga classes at the Deep Cove Kayak Centre for $45.
