Sweat and Tonic

Sweat and Tonic is a three-storey wellness space that combines three workout studios, a co-working space, a cafe, and spa under one roof.

The 16,000-square-foot space, located on the corner of Yonge and Shuter, was three years in the making and incorporates all of Toronto’s fitness addictions: yoga, meditation, spin, and HIIT boxing.

Yoga is provided by Chi Junky studio, Diesel Fitness founder George Chaker built the HIIT and Spin studio programming, and Toronto-based holistic nutritionist Kate Taylor Martin brought her third Nutbar location to Sweat and Tonic to provide healthy sustenance.

If a superfood smoothie isn’t your thing, unwind with a handcrafted cocktail instead.

Sweat and Tonic occupies a historic building that was home to one of Toronto’s first cocktail bars, The Silver Rail. As a nod to its history, Sweat and Tonic left one of the barstools in its original pink upholstery.

On the lower level, you’ll find the spin studio and change rooms. In the change room, every beauty product you need to look and feel good after your workout is provided by Consonant Skincare, the beloved Toronto all-natural beauty brand launched by Bill Baker.
