Summer might be coming to a close (say it ain’t so!), but that doesn’t mean your beach bod has to suffer this coming Labour Day weekend in Toronto.

That’s why Grenade, a protein bar and supplement company, is taking over Ashbridges Bay Park and Beach — turning the outdoor gyms into a boutique fitness experience, but without the high price tag.

Running (and lifting and squatting) from 9 AM to 6 PM on August 31st and September 1st, this free fitness pop-up is open to anyone, regardless of where you are on your fitness journey, looking to level up their workouts and have a bit of fun before fall hits.

Here are just a few reasons you want to throw on your gym shorts for a free fitness day at the beach!

Expert Trainers

You won’t be the only hottie with a body there, as there’ll be some expert trainers on-site to help you engage your core. You’ll find the owner of Clue Enhergy Ottillia Giralico, two-time calisthenics freestyle champion Xavier Cormier, health and wellness coach Brian Nguyen, and personal trainer Eva Amo-Mensah in attendance to run classes and help give you tips and tricks for perfecting your workout routine.

The Epic Hangbar Challenge

Think you have what it takes to hang? Well, you can test your feats of strength with the Hang Bar Challenge. Whoever hangs on the longest with the highest score will win a grand prize of the ultimate gym package that will include a local Toronto gym membership (valued at $1,000), 10 boxes of Grenade products, along with a Grenade branded backpack, t-shirt, and workout towel.

Goodies For All

A good workout doesn’t mean much if you don’t have good fuel to back it up. That’s why Grenade is giving you a chance to try their tasty protein bars, which are available in grocery and drug stores across Canada. With high protein, low sugar, and great taste, these tasty snacks mean you don’t have to sacrifice anything to get your protein.
