About Us

Sweat, recover, connect: Sweat and Tonic (S&T) brings the best of boutique fitness and wellness under one roof. S&T is Toronto's leading boutique fitness and wellness hub, offering the widest collection of group fitness classes in Canada. From complimentary full-service amenities and an unparalleled range of yoga, Pilates, HIIT, indoor cycling and Lagree Megaformer classes powered by top-of-the-line fitness equipment, custom-programmed lighting, immersive projection screens and state-of-the-art sound systems, to premium spa, recovery and high-tech biohacking amenities - every aspect of S&T has been designed to deliver a best-in-class experience with a hospitality approach. With premium spa facilities, 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, S&T has innovated and expanded 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. In spring 2023, S&T opened its first international sister location, Silver Springs, a boutique yoga and Pilates oasis in the heart of Los Angeles, and opened its second location in Toronto at The Well in December 2023. S&T expanded the brand in June 2025 with a new concept studio, REFORMD - the world’s largest-capacity Lagree studio, and will be bringing a fourth location in Toronto’s prestigious Yorkville neighbourhood in early 2026. S&T was the recipient of the 2023 Mariana Tek Lasting Community Award, 2023 ClassPass Best Studio Award, and 2024 Mariana Tek Full House Award, recognizing the commitment to innovation and excellence.
