Maybe you feel like you’re in a bit of a fitness rut. Or you’re just keen to add something new to your workout routine to make it a little more exciting (there’s only so many times you can run the 5k around your neighbourhood, and at some point, even the hottie instructor in Spin class isn’t enough to keep you interested and motivated during class). Then Tryfit may be just what you need to discover a new workout or studio.
This new fitness pass in Toronto gives you access to 20 specialty fitness studios around the city — with Tryfit you get to try one class at each of them over a period of six months. All for $49. When a single trial class can cost about $20 at some studios, that makes it a pretty good deal — that’s if you’re up for trekking to different spots around the T-Dot to get your sweat on.
Studios include Flirty Girl Fitness, Moksha Yoga Downtown,Think Fitness Studios and Totum LifeScience (Roxborough) to name just a few.
I’ve got mine and hope to hit up a few of the studios over the next six months. How ’bout you?

It’s time to put on your white yoga apparel again — the 2014 Lolë White Tour kicks off in April and makes five stops this year around the world.
The Lolë White Tour is in its third year and is meant to connect yogis–all dressed in white–in a unique experience that symbolizes peace. (I took part last year in the event in Toronto, which sadly, was cut short due to heavy rainfall).
This year, the five events will take place in museums, with up to 1,000 people taking part in a yoga class led by renowned yoga teachers and to the sounds of a symphony orchestra.
The dates and locations for this year’s Lolë White Tour:
- April 12, 2014 at the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya in Barcelona
- May 8, 2014 at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in Montreal
- May 22,2104 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City
- June 12, 2014 at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto
- July 2014 in Edmonton (location and date TBD)
If you don’t want to miss out, be sure to reserve your mat today. Tickets ($25) are available at Lolë Women. (This includes a signature Lolë yoga mat that you get to keep as a souvenir of this amazing experience.)

Launched at the end of 2013, the Nike Studio Wrap Pack. For Spring 2014, the design has been tweaked to improve on the support and design of the “better than barefoot” experience of these shoes created for workouts typically done barefoot (such as yoga, barre and dance).
There are three parts to it: a ribbon that you tie on first under the arch and around your ankles for extra support, the Studio Wrap itself (which is made of a stretchy thin foam) and a flat, which is what you pop on over the Wrap to get to and from class. (The Pack costs $130 on nike.com, and just the Wraps are $50–in Canada, I believe you can buy them at Nike stores and other sporting good retailers.)
I finally tested them out today, and based on one class, so far I love the traction they provide and there’s the added hygienic bonus on not having to walk and work out barefoot in the studio.
And, well, they’re so darn pretty — so much so I may finally go to the barre classes I’ve been slacking on.
(Yes, it’s photos of my feet. Deal with it. (But really, I’m sorry! I’m not fond of feet photos either)
