Whether you’re looking to make your New Year’s resolutions a reality or are simply on the hunt for a new place to exercise, the beginning of a new year is the perfect time to find a fitness club that suits you. With so many fitness trends hitting the market each season it can often feel overwhelming to choose a studio that meets your specific wants and needs. That’s why we’ve taken the time to carefully craft a list of the best fitness clubs in Toronto, so you can start the new year the right way.
Granite Club
If an upscale environment is what you look for in a fitness club than look no further than Granite Club. This members-only facility is known for attracting Olympians and world champions to help keep them in their best shape for the big games ahead. Featuring aquatics, badminton, curling, squash, tennis, and a golf dome; you can rest assured there is a sport that matches your skill set. You can also take advantage of their state-of-the-art fitness equipment and group exercise programs.
SoulCycle
You’ve heard the name before thanks to their loyal followers and that’s exactly what helps SoulCycle grow in popularity each year. SoulCycle is a 45-minute indoor cycling class that consists of high-intensity cardio, muscle-sculpting strength training, and rhythm-based choreography. What makes SoulCycle unique is its ability to combine the strength of your body and mind. The instructors are there to encourage, coach and inspire their riders. And with two studios in the entertainment district and Yorkville respectively, there’s a location waiting for you to begin your journey.
Equinox
Another fitness club that brings all the offerings one could want is Equinox. This members-only gym boasts a complimentary Equifit fitness assessment, personal training session, and a one-on-one Pilates session upon signing up. Once you get started, you will be able to enjoy unlimited classes and a long list of membership amenities including access to steam rooms, saunas, and filtered water stations — just to name a few!
Barry’s Bootcamp
Bootcamps are synonymous with high-intensity workouts and there’s certainly no shortage of that at Barry’s. You will experience a mix of running and weights when you sign up for Barry’s Original class, which takes place under their signature red lights. There is also a no-treadmill class option for the days you can’t or don’t want to run. Barry’s boasts you can burn up to 1,000 calories after just one class, and with motivational instructors ready to push you in the right direction, there’s no better excuse to give it a shot.
Orangetheory Fitness
The group workout classes at Orangetheory Fitness are science-backed, technology-tracked, coach-inspired workouts designed to produce the results you’ve been looking for. Orangetheory Fitness aims to create a class that everyone can succeed in. They do this by ensuring you receive the coaching and motivation required to push yourself forward in each class.
