Grand Opening Feb 11,2014 If you visit Hard Candy Fitness, Toronto’s newest gym, you may notice a theme. Eight Vogue-era Madonna faces, plastered Andy Warhol-style on the wall, watch as you enter the airy fitness club. Madge’s greatest hits blare on the speakers as you curl a candy apple-red dumbbell, inspired by her bright makeup. After the workout, you can recharge with a Like a Prayer almond butter and banana smoothie, blended fresh at the juice bar by a square-jawed male barista. “We wanted to make you feel like you’re in Madonna’s home,” said the gym’s president and CEO, Annick Marcoux, whose cropped blond hair resembles an early ’90s Madonna. Hard Candy Fitness Toronto opens its doors Thursday, becoming the eighth club in Madonna’s high-end fitness franchise. Others have opened in Mexico City, Berlin, St. Petersburg and Rome.
