Pure Fitness

I started Pure Fitness with the intention of creating a space that would intergrate the body and mind. It’s common with traditional fitness to focus on getting healthy with weight loss tips and meal planning but often enough we are shown the incorrect way to go about this. Food has changed more in the last 50 years then it has in the past 10 000, this is so alarming and in my opinion may be the reason behind sky rocketing cancer rates, heart disease and obesity.  The  root in the problem I believe is that we no longer honour our bodies, and this begins with the food we eat and the way we treat our bodies.  When you take the time to prepare your own food from whole ingrediants you are more likely to avoid chemicals, fillers and toxins, you are also more apt to appreciate and feel satisfied with your meal- knowing the energy and time it took to create.  

At the same time many of us are not moving our bodies, in a world that has become so convenitent and plugged in it is no longer necessary to do, we don’t even have to get up to change the channel on our television sets anymore!  So since we no longer we  receive our exercise through everyday activities, we must carve out some time to get moving in order to deliver the necessary benefits from exercise that our bodies are desperately craving!  At Pure I try to deliver this time to women, a chance to put all our everyday stresses aside and just focus on ourselves for once, in all my work outs I focus on not only  building strength but also trying to achieve a look that is curvy and feminine we do this by avoiding heavy weights, working on the small muscle groups instead of just the large and doing movements that we lenghten the muscle and improve flexibility.

About Natasha,

I have had a strong interest in health and fitness since I was a teenager, becoming a vegetarian at the age of 13 made me more aware of what I was putting in to my own body and motivated me learn more.  I completed my group fitness training from BCRPA in 2004, afterwards I attended BCIT for marketing and business graduating in 2008 and have most recently completed my Yoga teacher training.  I got the idea to open the studio after struggling to loose the weight associated with my pregnancy after the birth of my son Lucas. I knew there had to be a better way to get healthy and I was motivated to re-evaluate my eating and exercise habits, I want to share this more holisitic approach to health with other women because it has changed me and I feel it will do the same for others too.
