One of the biggest perks of condo living is access to amenities – which include fitness facilities. Of course, not every condo has a stellar workout space, but there are some buildings in Toronto with gyms that rival – or even surpass – commercial chains.
There's really nothing better than hitting the gym when it's just an elevator ride away. So if your plan for 2023 includes getting (or staying) fit, here are 10 amazing condo buildings to consider:
1. The Residences at 488 University Avenue
Fitness facilities at the Residences at 488 University Avenue
This 2-year-old condominium takes fitness and lifestyle pretty seriously, with an incredible gym that wraps around the building and features state-of-the-art equipment, an elliptical room, yoga, and stretching rooms, all with stunning city views. You won't need an outside gym membership if you live here. It’s got everything you need, and you can even BYOT (Bring Your Own Trainer) if you need a little extra motivation, which you definitely can’t do in a regular gym. And if you love to swim, this building has one of the best pools in the city!
