The 11 Best Places to Work It Out in Toronto

Life Time Fitness, with locations in both Mississauga and Ajax, feels like a country club but is priced like a fitness club—with amazing facilities to boot. The basketball courts mean the whole family can love and participate in a sport together. A rock climbing wall (Mississauga location) appeals to our littles, who would live in a climbing gym if they could. A gorgeous outdoor pool means that when the weather is nice, we've got a great place to cool off. Oh and what if it's wretched outside? Indoor pool! And yes, they offer kids swimming lessons if you are sick to death of the Parks and Recreation panic at registration time. There's also dance and karate programs for kids, plus so much more. The fitness classes appeal to us and our desire to be healthy, active parents, but we can also indulge in a variety of spa services.
