Sweat and Tonic

Sweat, shake, sore. Welcome to the movement⚡️ A big thank you to our friends and family for celebrating with us during our preview week. We’re so excited to bring the sweat this Grand Opening weekend with 450 booked in and another 337 on waitlists. We can’t wait to sweat with you!

In the continued growth and evolution of our leadership team, we’re incredibly proud and excited to share that Luke Doran has been appointed President and Chief Operating Officer at Sweat and Tonic. Since joining the company in March 2021 as Operations Manager, Luke has been instrumental in driving the operational excellence we are known for, elevating our guest experience, and supporting our expansion with clarity, focus, and integrity. His leadership has been key in shaping the dynamic and innovative culture we are proud of today. Luke’s achievements have been numerous, including driving several significant projects that have pushed our growth and innovation forward: conceptualizing Sweat on the Roof at the Toronto CF Eaton Centre during the COVID-19 pandemic and owning the activation of over 40,000 guest bookings during this time by creating one of the best experiential activations by any wellness space in Toronto; bringing Tonic Bar, our smoothie bar and cafe, in-house; and building Tonic Spa, our 10,000 sq.ft. wellness and recovery hub at The Well - altogether delivering a fully holistic wellness journey for our growing membership base and a giant leap forward in our mission to bring the best of boutique fitness and wellness under one roof. Above all, he has always championed and put our team first - most recently transforming our comprehensive employee benefits program for over 300 hardworking team members. Luke’s promotion reflects our commitment to strong, values-driven leadership and his commitment to steer us through the next chapter of innovation, operational excellence, and community building. Congratulations, Luke!

Happy #InternationalWomensDay, Sweat Fam! The theme for IWD this year is #AccelerateAction - emphasizing the importance of taking steps to achieve gender equality. It calls for increased momentum and urgency in addressing the systemic barriers and biases that women face, in personal and professional spheres. On this special occasion, we're beyond proud to say that S&T is an organization powered by women. You may know that the faces and rockstars of our team - over 78% of our fierce and talented instructors - are women, but on the floor and behind the scenes, 88% of our team leads & supervisors, 71% of our managers, and 63% of our Senior Leadership Team at S&T are also women!⁠ As of 2024, the gender pay gap in Ontario was 12% - we've not only closed that on our team, we've exceeded it with women at S&T earning a 6% higher average wage than men in Ontario. To all the powerful, strong, and resilient women that make up this incredible community, this one's for you - we thank you for your contributions to our success and our Sweat Fam, today and every day! 💪

And the award goes to...🏆⁠ ⁠ We’re so excited to have been awarded the 2024 Xplor Mariana Tek Full House Studio Award, celebrating the best in boutique fitness!⁠ ⁠ Over 1.84 million bookings to date and counting - we couldn't be more proud of our incredible team who work tirelessly to keep the energy flowing, and our incredibly strong Sweat Fam who show up for themselves and each other, day after day.⁠ ⁠ From the bottom of our hearts - thank you to our entire Sweat Fam for making the S&T magic possible!⁠ 💪
