Vancouver as a city takes its health seriously. Everyone does something, whether it's yoga, pilates, running, hiking, or skiing, and healthy living is central to Vancouverites' lifestyle. The good news for them is everyone here looks young and healthy. The bad news for you is, you'll see a lot of (expensive) tracksuits as daywear on the streets, known as 'Vancouver couture' by locals. Vancouver's dress code is all about function over style - a theme you'll see over and over again - something a bit foreign to us at UJ. But if you want to work out, you'll find first-rate classes and facilities for everything here.
