Why not get into something that will leave you happy and excited? Not all workouts are like your typical gym, where you go, do your reps and leave, some are ALOT OF FUN. So stick around and find out more.

I want you to find that love within, and I believe that this article does it best, to show you exactly what the best SWEATS are.

1. Orangetheory Fitness // 1001 Dazé Street

I personally have never tried it, I have tried Canadian Strength which was an amazing all body workout. I do plan on trying OrangeTheory and I am certain I will fall in love with it, as it seems to be exactly what I strive on, High Intensity and a lot of fun.

2. Greco Fitness // Multiple Locations

This is my Baby. Greco Sparks Seriously such AMAZING FUN. Greco gets you working on yourself in ways you can’t imagine. Dedication, Friends, Fun, TONENESS. You got it all! It is Intense, and It is for everyone. Greco is my home now, and I can do 1-2-3 classes a day, you go at your pace. Check out the  OAC Greco too, amazing HIIT classes, worth your time and your legs! Working out is no longer to get skinnier or to workout that ice cream, it really becomes your identity, your social guru, you should try it. There are MANY locations, you just need to pick.

3. DOUVRIS Martial Arts // Multiple Locations

This is a new one for me, though I have been to 100% Martial Arts which is amazing, with highly trained instructors and a love for the dojo. Bill Gatchell, the founder and Head Master of this amazing place and his team will leave you sweating and in shape, let alone teach you to defend yourself. I think Martial Arts is an amazing talent and an amazing workout that benefits more than your body, but your mind and your self-confidence.

4. iNSiDE Out STUDiO barre // 1416 Wellington Street West

I have never tried this studio, but I believe strongly that it is what it claims to be, toning you inside out, and these barre classes with combination of strength training, yoga, pilates and a ballet barre will definitely do the job to kick your butt.

PURE is my heaven, I love this Yoga spot, and yes I have tried a few Studios but PURE has by far been the Purest and Best, especially for a Fitness freak like me. I love the burn, I love the heat, I love the power. PURE YOGA has it all for you, and you should really try it. I have been to YogaTown Studio and it is also amazing and worth a try.

7. Wheelhouse Cycle Inc. // 1279 Wellington Street West

O.M.G. What FUN, what BURN, what FITNESS. I was recently introduced to Wheelhouse and DAMN did I love it. So much fun, with Music, Sweat, Dancing, and Friends. GO TRY THIS RIGHT AWAY, you are missing out. It really is unreal, you won’t imagine what a full body workout that is. It might be your next best thing.

So ………… All this to show, WORKING OUT CAN BE SO FUN, it is not a chore, it is not to drag yourself to the gym, you just need to try something new, remember, you just might LOVE IT.
