PUSH THE BOUNDARIES

Places in DTNW That Challenge Us Past Our Limits

When we call Downtown New West “The Original Downtown”, we don’t just mean it in a historical sense. The people of this city are innovators, constantly seeking to push ourselves beyond what we think we’re capable of. Many places are at the forefront of infusing vitality into the downtown lifestyle, both new and, dare we say it, original!

In fact, don’t just take our word for it: why not see for yourself the kind of services Downtown New West has to jostle you forward this new year?

There are traditional gyms, then there’s Strong Side. With individualized fitness workouts, Strong Side bucks the trend of regular gyms by empowering its clientele with the knowledge and skills on top of equipment to achieve the physical goals they want. Not to mention, they’re a fun team to be around!

3) Renewing One’s Spirit: Waterfront Esplanade & Park

Not every innovative service is necessarily a business! Between Pier Park and the Waterfront Esplanade & Park, downtown is the perfect setting to recharge and reflect on one’s self (in rain or shine!), including the wider beauty around us. Don’t pass up taking a moment to drop by and relax: you’ll thank yourself for doing it.

4) Rethinking Our Intake: Coast Protein

5) Treats, Evolved: Cloud 9 Specialty Bakery

Speaking of food, while we’re being mindful of our choices, it’s also important to let loose and treat yourself once in a while! Few places are as dedicated to baking beyond-delicious, gluten-free treats as Cloud 9. Whether you have Celiac’s, are on a diet, or simply curious to try, you’ll be happy you did it!
