Over the few years, Toronto has seen a massive influx in the prospect of staying fit. Fitness has become a lifestyle in Toronto. People have been battling the old lazy regimes with treadmills, planks, and dumbbells. Not only that, people have come up with new ways to combine exercises with passion. Whether it is yoga, Barre inspired by ballet or pilates, they are religiously burning calories to stay healthy.

Toronto has also seen incredible growth in new, fancy gyms that provide the best of services. From shower products from Kiehl to towels that have been infused with eucalyptus, these gyms provide luxury to all fitness-enthusiasts. Here is a list of most high-end gyms that have been both dapper and classy for a workout. Check it out!

 

1. Equinox

Location: 55 Avenue Rd, Toronto

With its all-new extra spacious area, the Equinox has been all the rage for gym enthusiasts. Equinox has overall been a very reputed company in this niche. The brand has marked itself globally with over 79 gym locations spread all over the world. They also have a well-published line of gym gear called "Made Me Do It".

This is a chic gym. The lobby is catchy and shows the Equinox store with all of the apparel you need to work-out (a master marketing strategy). As you walk past the store, you will find the Equinox cafè that sells varieties of healthy food that you can eat before and after working out. You reach the main lobby thereafter which has been decorated with high-end couches and marble tables. The decor is just beautiful.

Three glass doors will lead you to different trainers. These are experts that help you work-out without letting you give up.

Having an Equinox membership means not looking elsewhere for special classes. You get a packaged deal of everything: Pilates, Barre, Yoga, Staged and METCON. There are three floors: the first one is a smaller built gym meant for more private sessions, the second one offers classes called Better Butt and METCON. The final and the main floor is where you will find all the equipment for heavy work-out like weight-lifting and treadmills.

There are other features too like a cycling studio and spa that make your stay even more worthwhile. Impressive Deals: Although the membership costs $171 per month, it provides exclusive facilities. For instance, the showers have been equipped with Kiehl's products which save you the hassle of carrying your own toiletries.

 

2. Spokehaüs

Location: 70 Dan Leckie Way, Toronto

You might just fall in love with Spokehaüs because this is the only gym in Toronto that has a heating system to keep you warm. As per the reviews, the hotbox class is one of the most recommended choices of customers. With its 20°C temperature, this is more like a pre-workout routine you should own because heating helps in the detoxification of your body. It also burns more calories and increases your athletic performance. However, if sweating inside a heated room is not your game, you can simply begin with the other classes that Spokehaüs provides.

Isolation, Climbs, and Sprints are some of the classes provided and each of these classes have a standard time limit of 45 minutes. After class, you will be given eucalyptus-infused towels (something they have been doing since February 2016 when the gym opened) and every weekend you can also order lip-smacking good smoothies.

Impressive Deals: For new members, you get three extra spins (two for you and one for your friend) compact in the price of a single session. You can also rent spin shoes instead of spending on new ones.

 

3. Pure Barre

Location: 737 Queen St W, Toronto 

Pure Barre was launched in 2001 in Michigan and over the years has become the trademark for Barre classes. So, when this popular American brand stepped into the Canadian borders, it was welcomed warmly by Barre lovers.

It has classes with a standard time limit of 55 minutes. In each of these classes, you are given several exercises to perform. To add up to the challenge, you are handed out weights and exercise bands too. All of the exercises you perform are seemingly easy with small movements. But repeating these exercises makes them more difficult at each level. Your muscles start aching and you start burning calories. The movements are similar to those used in ballet. The gym also has one side of the studio lined with a mirror and it has several barres lined in a more traditional form.

Impressive Deals: For as little as $99 of membership, new members can get one month of unlimited sessions exclusively.

 

4. Studio Lagree Vaughn

Location: 788 King St W, Toronto

Inspired by fitness trends straight from Hollywood, the Studio Lagree Vaughn is all glamour and sweat combined. This is Toronto's first gym to come up with the infamous Studio Lagree method. The method is a challenging 50-minutes workout combination of pilates, core, strength, cardio-training and stretching.

Packed with killer workout machines and an ambiance that sparkles, this gym is going to hit your muscles in all the right spots. This is a light-spaced studio. It has a 50-foot ceiling. There are windows that measure from the floor to ceilings.

Founded by Sebastian Lagree, a fitness-guru, the gym boasts 16 patented Megaformer machines. With exercise bands, adjustable bars, and sliding mats, the machines are going to burn your calories like crazy. Impressive Deals: You can purchase the first class for $17. After that, each class cost $32. You can also buy a bulk of 20 classes for $440.

 

5. CrossFit YKV

Location: 175 Avenue Rd, Toronto

The final in the list is the CrossFit YKV. An elite training centre with ultra-advanced gym machines to burn your calories, the gym is a dream-come-true for a fitness enthusiast.

The gym is built on three floors with an overall area of 2000 sq. foot. Because of its elongated floor-to-ceiling windows, the gym is filled with natural light. The equipment has been provided by Rogue Fitness, called the "State of the Art" equipment. A mix of strength and conditioning has been incorporated in its classes.

The weightlifting classes have a rig that spans across the studio. There are monkey bars as high as 34-feet that help in performing exercises like squats, wall balls, back-bends, and pull-ups. The Cardio studio is next, being equipped with calorie- burners like treadmills, bikes and boxing stations. However, this studio is used more for a warm-up than as the main room. The gym also has private changing rooms and locker rooms.

A personal training room is provided for those who seek more customized workout sessions. Impressive Deals: Free towels! For three classes a week you pay $210 per month. You can get unlimited visits at $280 per month.
