The big question that's been on my mind is how all these businesses can survive when most condos have gyms. It's definitely a lifestyle sale, which is how the exclusive members-only side will go, but the competition (with Equinox at Yorkville Village and soon-to-open Sweat & Tonic at 11 Yorkville) will be fierce.

Not to mention the three GoodLife gyms each less than a block or two away (for the plebes).

We now have two of the corners set, with lululemon & Sweg on the northwest and Avant/Nike/Ballroom on the southeast. Any word on the apple space and does anyone have any insights into what's happening with the former HBC site that's been sitting empty for years now? There's gotta be something in the works.

If only their name was Sweg. Instead, they have one of the worst names you could have for what is pretty good cooking equipment, Smeg.

More info in Toronto Life about the Avant fitness club, for those who have a $740 to $2,000 a month to spend in that high-end location above Chick-fil-A.

I would think this thing is a better fit for that huge cluster of buildings around Bay and Davenport.
