The Toronto grand opening of Madonna's Hard Candy Fitness on Feb 11th will not only include a master class taught by Madonna for HCF members from around the world but will also feature a live on-site creation of an 11 by 30 foot mural installation by the internationally renowned artist Mr. Brainwash. Madonna previously collaborated with Mr. Brainwash on the creation of the cover artwork for her 2009 multi-platinum 'Celebration' album.

Hard Candy Fitness is a global luxury fitness brand in partnership with Madonna and New Evolution Ventures (NeV). The official celebration is scheduled for Tuesday February 11th at the brand's newest and largest club is located in the heart of Toronto at the Aura building at College Park. The facility first opened late last year in October.

Madonna will lead her signature Addicted to Sweat cardio-based dance class with club members from around the world as part of the day's festivities. For Hard Candy Fitness Toronto members who do not get the chance to participate in the class with Madonna, the Hard Candy Fitness Performance Team will be leading group fitness classes throughout the day prior to Madonna's arrival. True to the brand's concept of mixing fitness with entertainment, dance, and music, local Toronto DJs will also be performing throughout the day and evening.
