Do NOT feel bad about turning your house lights off early and eating the rest of everything you bought for children who dressed up. I&#39;ve done that, and it&#39;s great. I have no regrets.<\/p>\n<p>But you may, or you may just want to start getting healthy. Well, guess what: now you can get healthy like MADONNA, thanks to her Hard Candy Fitness gym that just opened up in Toronto.<\/p>\n<p>Located at 382 Yonge St. (the 78-story Aurora building), the 42 000 square foot facility is the brand&#39;s first club in North America (yes, we are the chosen ones).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We are very excited about the opening of Toronto&#39;s new Hard Candy Fitness,&quot; chairman and co-owner of Hard Candy Fitness Toronto, Leonard Schlemm said. &quot;The club is in one of the city&#39;s most beautiful condominium towers in arguably the most vibrant neighbourhood in Toronto.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>And this club is decked out. With high-end amenities, classes, extensive cardio, functional strength, and personal training spaces, stated-of-the-art equipment, saunas, custom juice bar, and a roof top terrace, this isn&#39;t your local YMCA. (Though there&#39;s nothing wrong with that.)<\/p>\n<p>You can join now, or you can join later, or you can walk by and say, &quot;I just saw the Madonna gym.&quot; (And there&#39;s nothing wrong with that, either.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hard Candy Fitness opens up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67426,"featured_media":76453,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[64593],"tags":[66202,78251,78250,65632,65370,65496],"class_list":["post-55075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-whisper","tag-gym","tag-british-retailer","tag-matt-damon","tag-madonna","tag-toronto","tag-working-out"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Madonna Opens Gym in Toronto - 29Secrets<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Madonna&#039;s Hard Candy Fitness opens in Toronto\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Madonna Opens Gym in Toronto - 29Secrets\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Madonna&#039;s Hard Candy Fitness opens in Toronto\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/pop-culture\/daily-whisper\/madonna-opens-gym-toronto\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"29Secrets\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/29Secrets\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2013-10-28T00:22:08+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/hard%20candy.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Anne T.
