During the frosty, winter months, we have to be a little bit more creative in order to keep our (grand)children entertained. But the good news is that there are plenty of amazing things to do in Toronto! I've listed out our family's Top 3 Outdoor Winter activities to do around town! What do you think?
Number 1 is a classic and something we love to do when the weather is cold enough. There’s nothing quite like the view from this iconic Toronto skating rink. Lace up your skates and get on that ice!
We featured Christie Pits in our Tobogganing post already but we’re featuring it again because it’s such a great park in a great neighbourhood. Do yourself a favour after hitting the slopes and check out one of Koreatown’s amazing restaurants; we recommend Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu.
Another previously featured destination, the Brickworks has events running all winter long (both indoors and outdoors) for the whole family. Food and drinks on-site and programs like Parent/Tot Learn to Skate also make this an appealing destination for families.
Whatever you’re up to, we’d love to know. Enjoy the great outdoors Toronto!
New year, new body? Let’s at least start with making a commitment to get to a class. To help with your new fitness journey, we’ve listed our top 5 favourites for gyms from Midtown to Downtown…
Born in Australia, 45 training merges 3 separate leading-edge fitness fitness training styles into one 45-minute training class. New exercise programs curated on a daily basis means less boredom in your routine and lots of fun new exercises to try each day.
If you want to add strength and bulk to your fitness goals, look no further than one of Toronto’s Crossfit gyms in Bayview/Leaside. Crossfit is a fitness program that combines a wide variety of functional movements into a timed or scored workout. You’ll do pull-ups, squats, push-ups, weightlifting, gymnastics, running, rowing, and a host of other movements.
Those in midtown have an amazing choice in The Rosedale Club. Gorgeous facilities including a turf training zone and “adult jungle gym”. Lots of options for classes from Dance to Yoga, Cycling and Conditioning.
For those on the West-end, MMT is our go-to gym for fun, fitness and fighting supremacy. Owner Peter Montrait and the gym recently got the blessing from Siam No. 1’s Ajahn Suchart Yodkerepauprai after the gym’s first year anniversary. Muay Thai, Kettle Bell and Conditioning classes are offered through the week.
The appeal of Orangetheory is the wearable tech. Led by an instructor, the 60-minute session is split between different machines while wearing a heart rate monitor. The goal is to get your heart rate up, which helps you burn more calories for up to 36 hours post-workout.
