Toronto's favourite boutique fitness and wellness hub, Sweat and Tonic, announced plans today for its third location in Toronto's prestigious Yorkville neighbourhood. Set in the new 11 Yorkville mixed-use development, Sweat and Tonic will be amongst 24,000 square feet of retail space that integrates seamlessly into Yorkville, one of Canada's most exclusive luxury shopping and dining districts. Developed by RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust, Metropia and Capital Developments, 11YV is a bold new icon for the city and a chance to live on one of Toronto's most luxurious streets. Sweat and Tonic will bring the best of boutique fitness to the project, providing both residents and the surrounding community an elevated wellness experience.

"Sweat and Tonic was conceptualized in 2017 to bring the highest quality of group fitness to Canada with Yorkville as the preferred location. We have looked at many spaces over the ensuing years as we maintained a discipline to be selective, and so it's with great pride we can finally announce another partnership with RioCan to make 11 Yorkville our third home in Toronto," said David Ingram, Founder of Sweat and Tonic.

"Our first location at Yonge and Shuter St opened in November 2019 and, despite the impact of COVID-19, it has surpassed all expectations. Our second location at The Well™ has already exceeded record attendance rates. We are truly grateful to both communities for their overwhelming support and remain optimistic and excited for this next phase of our evolution in one of the city's most iconic neighborhoods."

This announcement comes only three months after the successful opening of Sweat and Tonic's second location at The Well in Toronto. The 25,000 square foot fitness and wellness space boasts the largest indoor cycling studio in Canada, immersive environment Yoga and cycling classes, a state-of-the-art High-Intensity-Interval-Training (HIIT) Studio, personal training services, a member's only lounge and coworking space, event space, cafe, bar, patio, and an innovative new wellness and recovery hub opening this spring. The wellness and recovery hub will feature biohacking, high-touch, and aqua therapy treatments to support guests' fitness, wellness and lifestyle goals.

Following their successful launch at The Well in 2023, we are eager to extend Toronto's premium boutique fitness and wellness experience to one of Canada's most exclusive shopping and dining districts," said Oliver Harrison, Senior Vice President, Leasing and Tenant Experience at RioCan
