BodyNetix Brings Hot Yoga, Pilates to Comox Valley


BodyNetix, one of the ComoxValley’s hottest new businesses, is about to get even hotter.

The Valley’s 2008 New Business of the Year is renovating its Courtenay fitness studio to make room for, among other things, a brand new 93-square metre hot yoga studio.

The new addition will be only the second hot yoga studio in the Comox Valley and will be home to a unique new style of hot yoga classes starting in November.

“Our classes are really going to be tailored to men and women who don’t have a lot of time but who still want to get the fat-burning benefits of hot yoga,” says Chris Ketch, founder and co-owner of BodyNetix.

“Every athlete knows that peak performance occurs only once the body is completely warmed up,” he explains. “The temperature in a hot yoga studio is similar to our own body temperature, which accelerates many of the benefits of regular yoga, like fat loss and increased flexibility. With hot yoga, it’s not uncommon to lose centimeters of fat in a very short time.”

Below the new yoga studio, the expanded BodyNetix will also feature a new studio for Pilates, a series of gentle exercises that, like yoga, helps improve flexibility, strength and balance.

BodyNetix has recently hired well-known local fitness instructor Glenny Whelan to lead its yoga and Pilates classes, which also include a more traditional Hatha style of yoga. Whelan, who has taught yoga, Pilates and fitness classes for more than 20 years, has also created a combined yoga/Pilates fusion class, believed to be the first of its kind in the Comox Valley.

“The fusion class is going to blend together the best elements of yoga and Pilates,” says Carl Ketch, co-owner and head trainer at BodyNetix. “It will be a great introduction for someone who has never tried either, or maybe has tried one but not the other. It’s also going to be perfect for people looking to increase their core strength, improve their balance or build strong, lean muscles without looking like a weightlifter.”

BodyNetix still has space available in three yoga, Pilates and fusion classes in its current space starting in October. After November 1, BodyNetix expects to offer as many as 12 new classes in addition to its popular FitCamps and personal training options.
