Gym and fitness equipment in Toronto is in big demand as recreation centres and local gyms to workout are all closed and fitness classes have moved online. 

Here are some places in Toronto to buy or rent gym and fitness equipment for your at-home workout.

Spin Bikes

You may have noticed more people posting about their new spin bikes. That’s because spin studios like SPINCO, RIDE, 6ix Cycle, and Spokehaus started a monthly bike rental program, delivering bikes and shoes to people’s homes. While most bikes were rented out within hours, waitlists are still open.
