How to Stick to Your New Year’s Resolutions While Travelling
Many of us started 2020 with the aim to focus on improved health, wellness and overall self-care. January is coming to an end and life may or may not have already hindered your goals. We all know things like travel can get in the way — even for those with a rigid plan. At Hotel X Toronto, we invite you to discover the many ways to stay on track with your resolutions year-round while travelling. In fact, we recommend travelling to our hotel solely for the heightened sense of well-being you’ll experience from check-in to check-out.
Make it a Wellness Getaway
Travelling for leisure? Ease into the New Year in the most relaxing way possible with our two spa and wellness packages. Enjoy spacious accommodations, signature treatments at Guerlain Spa, access to group fitness classes at 10XTO and a credit to spend throughout the hotel. A serene spa experience coupled with a sweat session at 10XTO will leave you floating on cloud nine.

Make Time to Sweat
Setting some “you” time aside at 10XTO is a must when you stay with us. Choose from a variety of incredible sport and fitness options to enhance your wellness experience. Whether you’re into squash, tennis, Pilates, yoga, spinning, or HIIT, we promise you won’t regret a 10XTO session. Like many of us when it comes to fitness, maybe you’re still trying to find an activity that you truly enjoy. With a fresh new year ahead, there’s no better time to find it; 10XTO is the ideal place to explore your options and all fitness levels are welcome.

Incorporate Play
Don’t forget to make time for play during your stay! Play has been shown to release endorphins, improve brain functionality, and stimulate creativity. It can even help to keep us young and feeling energetic. Studies show that play improves memory and stimulates the growth of the cerebral cortex. Play is a fantastic and fun way to improve your overall well-being, which is why we encourage guests to give the brand new Topgolf Swing Suite at 10XTO a try. This interactive simulator offers players a variety of challenging golf courses along with games like baseball pitching, hockey, and even zombie dodge ball—if that’s your thing.

Intense Workouts, Short Intervals
Another notable new feature at 10XTO is the Strength Zone, focusing on High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), Total Athletic Conditioning and Full Body Conditioning classes. If you find that you are limited for time to work out while travelling, we recommend a HIIT class. This workout allows you to burn about the same amount of calories, but spend less time exercising. Plus, the intensity of the workout elevates your metabolism for hours after exercise! This results in additional calories being burned even after you have finished exercising.

Get the Little Ones Involved
If you’re travelling with kids, this one’s for you. Making time for exercise during travel isn’t just for adults—our littlest guests need it too. In 10XTO’s 3,000 sq. ft. kids play centre, children can exercise their minds with games, books, arts and crafts as well as their bodies with a kids-sized sports court perfect for basketball, soccer, dodge ball or just a place to run around. The best part? With so much energy used up during playtime, bedtime just got a little easier!

Stick to Healthy Meal Choices
It doesn’t end with the wellness amenities inside 10XTO–guests can keep to their healthy eating resolutions with offerings on the menu at Maxx’s Kitchen, our all-day restaurant. Choose from a variety of nutritious options, including gluten free, vegetarian and vegan dishes. We recommend trying the new vegan parfait, made with vegan yogurt, house made granola, fresh berries, and Ontario maple syrup. At Pétros82, our signature restaurant specializing in heart-healthy Mediterranean seafood and vegetable focused dishes, guests can enjoy the highest quality of seasonal ingredients in each meal. Fresh cevhice, seasonal oysters, and avocado and chicory salad are some of our favourites.
