The Cambridge Group makes its mark with high-quality fitness paired with rich social experiences

Without question, COVID-19’s one-two punch of extended gym closures and restricted workouts hit the health and fitness industry hard over the past couple of years. But with Toronto emerging from the pandemic and the downtown core once again bustling, the enduring Cambridge Group of Clubs are flexing their muscles, ready to help Torontonians reconnect with their goals – and each other.

“Our clubs have always brought together likeminded individuals for personal wellbeing and recreation, not to mention for our legendary parties and socials,” says Clive Caldwell, President and CEO of the Cambridge Group of Clubs.

Conveniently located along Toronto’s PATH system, the prestigious trio of clubs – the Adelaide Club, Cambridge Club, and Toronto Athletic Club – are renowned for their exceptional whole-health experience. From swimming to squash, and strength training to spa services, they provide both financial district executives and fitness-minded locals with the ideal place to connect and build a community. And for those wondering about the premier perks that come from being a member, the clubs offer reciprocal privileges, granting members exclusive access to more than 120 clubs around the world.

From the moment members step through the doors, they begin to understand how the Adelaide Club sets itself apart. The sleek and airy design, the modern look and feel, and the friendly faces all serve as testament to the history and efforts of the Adelaide Club to distinguish itself as a premier health club.

In addition to expansive co-ed workout spaces, the club features a dedicated gym designed by – and for – women. There are studios that house a myriad of group fitness classes, squash courts and leagues, functional strength training gyms, spas and locker rooms loaded with amenities. It’s a one stop shop, including the Adelaide Health Clinic, providing best-in-class preventative and rehabilitative services.

In the heart of the club lies the WorkHUB – a newly redesigned luxurious co-working space. While members are encouraged to use this space to take advantage of the new hybrid work model, the lounge – with its oversized couches and big screen television – remains a favourite for relaxing pre- and post-workouts and connecting with fellow members.
