Our Mission

At Gym and Tonic, our mission is to create a welcoming and invigorating fitness community on Manitoulin Island, where people of all fitness levels can improve their health, strengthen their bodies, and uplift their spirits. Through fun, inclusive workouts and a refreshing approach to wellness, we aim to inspire a balance between hard work and joy, one rep—and one laugh—at a time.

Why Gym & Tonic?

The name "Gym & Tonic" reflects our holistic approach to wellness. "Gym" represents the physical fitness aspect— building strength, improving balance, and staying active. "Tonic" speaks to the emotional well-being that comes with movement— boosting confidence, practicing self-care, and feeling empowered in your body. We believe true wellness is about more than just exercise; it's about feeling good inside and out.

OUR STORY

At Gym and Tonic, we believe that life’s best transformations happen when you step out of your comfort zone. Our founder, a dedicated mortgage broker, embodied this philosophy by trading in spreadsheets for dumbbells, turning a passion for fitness into Manitoulin Island’s most spirited gym.

Our journey began with a simple idea: to create a space where the community could come together, break a sweat, and have fun doing it. We’ve grown into a vibrant hub where fitness enthusiasts of all levels come to lift their spirits and their strength.

Join us at Gym and Tonic, where we mix hard work with a splash of fun, helping you achieve your fitness goals in a welcoming and energetic environment. Let’s raise the bar together!
