our story
Dedicated to Women's Health and Wellness
Our Club opened it’s doors to Burlington women back in 2012 under the Women’s Fitness Clubs of Canada brand. In 2024, the Burlington location was purchased by a member who fell in love with the Club and wanted to make it the best Women’s Fitness Club in the region. Read more…
Hi. We're Dani and Danny
OK, I’m sorry about our names. It’s for real. What can we say? We like to keep it easy for people 🙂 Luckily, we don’t have a child named Danny…
But, we do have 3 kids. Two amazing teenage daughters (both members) and an awesome teenaged son. We’re local here to Burlington, and we love this Club.
I (Dani) had been a member of the Club for about a year and a half when the Club came up for sale in 2024. I called Danny and said, “Hey, honey, how do you feel about owning a Women’s Only Gym?”. He is a fitness lover too, and by that point, was all too familiar with my love for “the gym I went to.” I kept telling him, “it isn’t just a GYM, it’s much more than that. There is something uniquely special about it.”
As a member, I felt there was something special about the wide variety of women it attracted as members – as well as the energy, the friendliness, non-judgemental feel, and the amazing staff. I remember within a few weeks the front desk had even memorized my member number! Watching the trainers pushing their clients’ limits, making the hard work look so fun, and the friendly smiles from the cleaning staff really drew me in. It was a dream opportunity for us.
We spent the first year learning the ropes from the best of the best at Women’s Fitness Clubs. The talent that they bring has built a wonderful Club. Then, it was time to make it our own. We wanted to bring Wellness Services to our members, and we wanted to change the look and feel. Our own home decor here in Burlington is infused with a positive and colourful seaside vibe. Turquoise, mango, and yellow… natural wood and lots of big, tropical plants. It makes us so happy to feel like we are always near the beach. We hope the airy, tropical feel of our newly renovated Club inspires you to enjoy our good-vibes-only, motivating, and uplifting environment, too.
Of course, Danny works away in the background. I am so fortunate to have an incredible team at Tropics who run the show so well, and I get to do the fun stuff – come in for workouts, chat with members and listen to their compliments and suggestions.
We love the Burlington community and we love being a part of so many local women’s health journeys.
We hope you will come by and visit Tropics, and feel the energy for yourself.
Warmly,
Dani & Danny
It isn't just a gym, it's must more than that. And there is something uniquely special about it.
