Toronto is the ideal city for fitness-minded people. With plenty of parks, organized sports activities, and beautiful hiking trails, it’s easy to have fun while staying active.
Every season, you can look forward to a change of scenery to keep your fitness routine varied and exciting. Best of all, many of these activities are completely free of charge. A few examples include:
- Skating rinks and loops in the winter
- Scenic trails in the autumn and spring
- Outdoor swimming pools and waterfront beaches in the summertime
There are so many opportunities to get your heart racing that you never have to invest in a gym membership if you don’t want to.
However, many people enjoy the structure and support a fitness studio provides. There’s just something extra motivating about having a trainer or a friend waiting for you to arrive.
If you want to join the fitness studio, Toronto offers many options beyond the big chains. Here are a few of our favourite boutique fitness studios in Toronto.
One Academy
Located at 858 Eastern Avenue in the East End, One Academy is a massive 10,000-square-foot facility designed for maximum results and inclusivity. The studio has the longest multi-performance rig you’ll find anywhere in Toronto.
All fitness levels are welcome to push their limits with incline treadmills, assault bikes, and other extreme accessories. Beginner programs are available, so no one ever has to feel intimidated.
Personal training packages are also available to help you achieve the maximum benefit in the least amount of time while ensuring proper movement and execution. The coaches go above and beyond to help you love your workouts. During the nice weather, you can even take your routine outside to enjoy some sunshine!
