Introduction

There are many fitness facilities in Kamloops. But which is the most preferred gym. From students to working adults or just casual gym-goers. We are here to find out. It’s wintertime now and I’m sure you will want to dust off the blanket to crowd on the sofa like a lazy bear. This plan sounds great but it is not the healthiest option. For this reason, I have made a compilation of the best gyms in Kamloops so that you can move your cuckoo, grab your roommates by the hand and leave together and leaving the “I’m not moving from the sofa” attitude.

The Gyms in Kamloops,BC

When we speak of luxury we do not mean that the gym in question gives you scented towels after training, but that they go one step further. Gyms with personal trainer, different and personalized workouts, running clubs, and a quality extra point that you can take advantage of for your mountain body. We start with the ranking!

1. Tournament Capital Centre (TCC)

It has been 14 years since the Tournament Capital Centre opened its doors to the public in Kamloops, BC. The facility is located right next to the Thompson Rivers University campus and hosts most of the TRU wolfpack games. From basketball, volleyball, soccer and many more games are hosted at TCC.

If you are a student attending Thompson Rivers University, you are also eligible for the student discount on the membership fees and the total monthly payment of $27/month. If you are a student at TRU you already have free access to the swimming pool, sauna, and steam room and the additional membership includes the gym, indoor track, and the basketball court.

TCC is the preferred facility for many students as it is in a convenient and easily accessible location with bus numbers 4,5,7,9 all stopping right outside the facility. People who come to TCC have a variety of options for workouts and also gives them a chance to socialize and make new friends as most people are attending TRU as well.

2. Gold’s Gym Kamloops

Gold’s Gym is one of the best and well-equipped gyms in the city. It is the preferred gym for most bodybuilders who are looking to perfect their bodies. It has the best types of equipment of all kinds and is a well-known franchise around the world.  It is a co-ed facility and also has a women-only side of the gym as well, with just as many varieties of equipment. The membership prices varies between three different options for Students/Seniors, Standard, and Gold’s Special contract. Every member is required to have their banking on file and the payments are taken out of your account bi-weekly. The facility includes a cardio room/ a cross-fit area/ co-ed gym and a women-only section. The gym also has a smoothie bar, where you can place an order of your favorite type of protein shake for that post-workout recovery. They also have protein brownies and protein donuts. Protein cookies and protein supplements for purchase. With that, they also have Gold’s merch for sale as well. It is definitely one of the best facilities in the city, with very satisfied members. The facility also has an aerobic studio and holds spin classes, yoga classes, and group power circuits.

3. Planet Fitness

Planet Fitness is mostly a cardio gym. They have very high foot traffic because of their extremely low membership prices. The facility is however loved by its members and mostly depending on the goals of the members. Even though they do not have a lot of free weight options, you will never have to wait for anything. The facility includes massage chairs for a post-workout massage and has no-judgment policy banners throughout the gym. The gym also has tanning options.

4. Orange Theory Fitness

The last gym, I will be discussing in this blog is Orange Theory Fitness. I won’t lie, I feel like the facility is very pricey, but depending on your fitness goals, it can be worth it. Having an unlimited monthly package for $149/month. You can also get a package for 4 classes/month and 8 classes/month which is more affordable. The gym is very fast-paced and the classes are held by instructors. The classes are one hour long and you get a heartbeat monitor with your membership that keeps monitoring your calories burnt and heartbeat pace the entire workout. Even though it is pricey, depending on your goals it can be worth it.
