Sweat and Tonic Yonge Street

We book a spinning class to celebrate a friend's birthday, she did ask for "The most Fun group class experience" and Sweat and Tonic was on top of the list. We had Javier class on Saturday at noon and it was AMAZING. The staff organized everything a month or so before and everything was perfect since we arrived, the last great touch were the most delicious smoothies ever after class!! 1000 % recommended 👌

10/10 for the instructors, classes, and interior design. Beautiful aesthetic with great classes. I bought the 3 day all access pass including sauna, somadome and ?tonic bar. When I checked in I let them know it was my first time but I wasn’t given much more than a 5 second explanation of where the change room and where my class would be although online it said to arrive 30 mins early to get aqainted with the studio and I probably only needed 5 mins? It would have been nice if it was explained where everything was without having to ask. I still don’t really know what a tonic bar is and what exactly I had access to. I think the lack of stars is basically because that welcome to our studio feeling and warm tour at the beginning was not present. Classes and change rooms are very busy and full so I ended up just walking back to my hotel to shower instead of the using the facilities to shower. I would still maybe return because I found the classes and instruction great and it is very beautiful inside but perhaps a protocol for new guests should be regularly implemented to create that warm welcome environment. I see I wasn’t the only one who felt this way based on some of the other reviews as well.

It was my first time at Sweat & Tonic; my partner booked 3 non-refundable credits for us to use on hot & cold therapy but after trying numerous times (waking up and logging in at 7am to book), he couldn't get us in. So we decided to use our credits for a class instead. Upon walking in, sure it looks like a more upscale place but customer service is lacking and we were very confused about where to go or how anything worked (noone showed us around). Then the worst part was our class. I have been practicing yoga for over 15 years, and am a certified instructor myself. I have taken many different styles of yoga classes so I understand each teacher has their own way and there are different modalities. But I would never take Heather's class again, nor any class at S&T. It is jam packed inside with about 5-8 inches between you and the next person. It feels very claustrophobic and overstimulating (especially with the rave music before class started which does not set the tone at all). The flow made no sense from a physically safe standpoint and we went into deep stretches without adequate warmups. The cues were hard to follow because they were not precise, AND at hyper speed. The class was so fast paced, I felt like I had to hyperventilate to allow my breath to actually guide my movement. Yoga is not meant to be a workout, but it can absolutely be physically challenging and rewarding without needing to move so quickly. Taking this kind of class is only going to cause injury and create anxiety. Instructors should be vetted more thoroughly.

It was my first time taking a yoga class at S&T, and I’m so happy it was with Sean! She has such a clear way of guiding the vinyasa flow, which was very well crafted and suitable for all levels. Sean also has a calming and encouraging voice, which helps make you feel safe. The facilities were so beautiful and clean, I felt like a came to a spa. Very impressed with the vibe and friendly staff. I am also happy I didn’t have to carry a mat during my commute

Nariko’s Hiit Class = 5 stars! I went to S+T for the first time this weekend. It didn’t not disappoint. The space was open, clean, modern. I took the Lift Hiit class with Nariko. It was fun, high-energy, and the community atmosphere was great. I liked the weights, treadmill, ground circuits, it made for a full-body + cardio workout all in less than one hour. Nariko was clear in direction, motivating and a fantastic instructor. I even got a hand-written welcome card! So sweet 🥹. You even get a nice cold lavender towel after. 👌🏼 Highly recommend!! Next time I’ll try a hot yoga or Pilates class. 🔥
