Yoga

The ultimate membership for the nomadic yogi, the passport entitles users to one free class at each of 36 Toronto yoga studios, and it lasts a year. The cost is just $30, meaning if you can make the time, you could bring the per-class rate down to 83 cents (and turn your body into a temple while you’re at it).

Squash
St. Lawrence Community Centre
230 Esplanade, 416-392-1347
Play the game of Bay Street big shots without the posh prices at the St. Lawrence Community Centre, operated by the city’s parks and rec department. Courts cost just $6.50 per player, which is less than the price of parking at some private racquet clubs. Book early (up to a week in advance is allowed), especially on busy winter weeknights.
