59 h. ago People in Toronto claim luxury gym is cancelling their memberships over bad reviews

Over the past few years, luxury gyms and wellness clubs have completely transformed the fitness landscape in Toronto, but the members of one club suggest that it's not all smooth squatting.The 2021 arrival of Winnipeg-based "social wellness club" Altea Active in Toronto was a revelation for the city's fitness community, leading to the immediate formation of a near evangelical fanbase for the gym.Opening up shop in an expansive 89,000 sq. ft. space at Liberty Village's Novus building, the gym boasted a virtually unmatched suite of offerings, from aquatic training, fitness classes, open gym training, a restaurant, recreation and child care.With memberships, at the time, starting at $95 per month (which have since been increased), for many, the suite of offerings — on top of the gym's high-calibre instructors, who fostered fan bases of their own — more than justified the lofty cost.Recently, though, members have noted some changes around the gym, and not everyone'...

3 d. ago Tariff uncertainty is affecting Canadian real estate and Ontario is hardest hit

While spring is typically the busiest time of the year to buy a home as more properties become available and competition increases, the housing market this season appears to be in a bit of a decline in Canada —and especially in Ontario — amid the ongoing trade war with the United States. According to a new report from the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), home sales in the country fell sharply from January to February, as many prospective home buyers chose to remain on the sidelines due to the threat of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs. Sales activity recorded over Canadian MLS Systems dropped 9.8 per cent month over month in February, marking the lowest level for home sales since November 2023, and the largest month-over-month decline in activity since May 2022. "The moment tariffs were first announced on January 20, a gap opened between home sales recorded this year and last.
