The top 5 gyms and fitness clubs for women in Toronto

Fitness clubs for women in Toronto allow women to feel 100% comfortable while burning some calories. Sometimes we'd rather bike, run, lift and box without sweaty men at our sides - am I right, ladies? These gyms offer a variety of fun and effective classes for you and your fellow females to partake in - or if you'd rather put your earphones in and work out solo at the machines, you'll find plenty of options, too.

Here are my picks for the top fitness clubs for women in Toronto.

Goodlife Fitness Women's Club

Did you know that popular fitness chain Goodlife has six women's only gyms in Toronto (plus another in Richmond Hill)? Sprawling from Etobicoke to Scarborough, downtown to North York, these locations mean you won't need to push through a crowd of men to get to the barbells and free weights.

Flirty Girl Fitness

Grab your girlfriends and head to Flirty Girl Fitness on King West to break a sweat. With a huge variety of classes, you can decide if you want to work on those abs, legs or booty or maybe strap on some gloves for boxing. Fun is pretty much guaranteed.

Women's Fitness Clubs of Canada

Women's Fitness Clubs of Canada, with a Toronto location at Bayview and Eglinton, offers lots of machines for you to burn those calories. With child care services on the premises, you'll never have to worry about getting a babysitter just so you can go work out.

Fitness Works for Women

Located in the Beaches, Fitness Works for Women aims to empower women while getting them fit. They offer great classes where you can work on your cardio and strength training, or you can try a belly dancing class to work out your core.

Toronto Newsgirls

The Toronto Newsgirls Boxing Club at Gerrard and Carlaw opened back in 1996 when owner Savoy Howe realized that women felt more comfortable working out and boxing in a women's-only space. The two hour boxing classes incorporate stretching and cardio, and then move on to some serious bag-punching.
