Other complimentary highlights of the event include free group fitness classes (Hatha Yoga Flow and Zumba), kettlebell workshops, a running clinic, a foam rolling session, an acupuncture seminar, a learn-to-row session, a bike fit workshop, and a family Christmas skate on Dec. 14, including a visit from Santa Claus.

Promotions include original gold membership rates that can save you up to $100, oval member pricing on select programs available to the public, and O Cafe Happy Hours every day featuring 25 per cent off all entrees from Dec. 12 to 15.
