With premium spa facilities, high-tech biohacking amenities, café, and bar offerings, members can recharge, recover, and reignite. Tonic House, the multi-functional lounge, workspace and event venue, inspires collaboration and innovation.

Since opening in 2019, we've innovated and expanded our state-of-the art classes across multiple channels: In-studio, Sweat in the Park, Sweat Live, Sweat on Demand, and Sweat on the Roof - a one-of-a-kind, outdoor rooftop fitness studio in the heart of downtown Toronto.
