It's Time To Live Your Best Life
Downtown New Westminster's Zumba, Dance + Fitness Studio
With our food scene flourishing, it's no wonder fitness studios are following suit and are springing up on our streets.

We recently sat down with Julia, the owner and mastermind behind Vive Tu Vida - downtown New West's newest workout facility.
We meet at the studio, centrally located on Columbia Street, and instantly love the space. It's clean (important for a fitness facility), colourful and possesses sort of community feel. Looking around, empowering messages and students' goals for 2017 decorate the walls.
As the conversation starts, Julia's excitement for the new venture is quickly evident. She speaks passionately about her love for dance and Latin flavours and how they've shaped her zest for life. So when it came time to name the place, 'live your life' in Spanish seemed like the perfect fit.
At Vive Tu Vida, their vision to encourage people to step outside their comfort zone, try something new and, overall, have fun! They accomplish that with their range of dynamic fitness classes.

"Many places weren't offering dynamic fitness classes and the ones that were, were simply too expensive for a person looking to try a variety out," Julia says. At Vive Tu Vida, there's a price point and a class(es) for everyone.
Of course, we need to ask, why New Westminster? The fitness entrepreneur praises the hospitable community of Downtown New West, "the people are great and the culture down here is really fun!" she adds.
