Connect with the community while working on your fitness! Bloor-Yorkville is a proud Community Partner of The Constantine Yorkville Run, an annual 5k that brings together local runners and businesses to raise funds for 30+ small, local charities. Participants can choose which charity they wish to support and are able to participate in a series of fund-raising contests throughout the year, leading up to the September race. Over the last 11 years, the Constantine Yorkville Run has raised over 3 million dollars for local charity groups.
You might not realize Bloor-Yorkville is a gateway to a number of outdoor trails. For longer distance walks or runs, head north from central Yorkville (about a 30 minute walk) to the David Balfour Park Trail, where you can walk, jog, run or cycle along the ravine. The trail creates a 2.7 km loop, offering the perfect escape into nature. Another great option is to head from Bloor-Yorkville to the Evergreen Brickworks trails (about a 35-minute walk). Without any need to hop in a car, both of these are great ways to get your steps in, while spending more time outdoors.
Building mobility and a strong core are fundamental pillars to overall health. Pilates targets both aspects, working on strengthening and lengthening muscles to create overall improved strength and flexibility. As a low-impact form of movement, Pilates helps protect joint health, while still elevating the heart rate.
Private and group Pilates classes are available in Bloor-Yorkville with both reformer (equipment-based) and mat classes offered. Postural improvements and spine health are also benefits of the practice and certified instructors will be able to offer modifications for all skill levels or for those working with injuries.
