Anytime Fitness Kelowna, Kelowna

One of the best parts of living in Kelowna is the ability to take your workout outdoors. The Okanagan Rail Trail is a fantastic multi-use pathway that stretches over 50 kilometres from downtown Kelowna to Coldstream. With a gentle grade of no more than 1.3%, its gravel and paved surfaces are perfect for running, walking, or cycling. Popular access points in Kelowna are near Prospera Place and at Parkinson Recreation Park.

For a serious challenge, nothing beats the stairs at Knox Mountain Park. Located just north of downtown, the Apex Trail is a local favourite for a reason. It's a steep 2.0 km climb with an elevation gain of about 260 metres, offering panoramic views of the city and Okanagan Lake as your reward. It's the city's natural StairMaster and a go-to spot for high-intensity interval training.

You can also find free outdoor gym equipment at several city parks. Parkinson Recreation Centre has a well-equipped outdoor fitness area right behind the main building, accessible to everyone year-round. These spaces allow you to get a full-body workout in the fresh air, combining the beauty of the Okanagan with your fitness routine.

Local tips

  • Go early to Knox Mountain in the summer to avoid the heat and find parking.
  • The Rail Trail is mostly flat, making it accessible for all fitness levels and abilities.
  • Always bring water, especially for outdoor workouts in July and August.
