Fit For Life

I had a very unpleasant experience with my breakfast this morning. I go here very often for my breakfast and usually get veggie western for $ 2. This morning I was more hungry and asked for an extra egg. My disappointment was when I got charged extra $ 2 for an egg!!! Really!!! I could as well get two sandwiches if I knew I would get charged extra $ 2 for an egg. It seems like they make prices as they go, because I did hear before that extra egg costs 75 cents. So I guess it’s a face control price forming?! I’m very disappointed as I’m their loyal customer, so now I’m wondering if I should ever go back. And it’s not about the money, I just do not want to be taken advantage from…

$ 2.10 total, for an egg sandwich. You can get BELT, ham and egg or vegetarian. The have more breakfast version at different price point, but it’s the sandwich that I always get.
It’s interesting because for the longest time, they kept charging us $ 2.50, even though the sign said $ 2. It was over a year, until they finally just said $ 2.10. Either way, we still go here almost every morning.
I guess the same people always go here, because they pretty much know everyone’s order already. Everything is made fresh in front of you and it takes them just about 5 minutes to make it for you.
I give them a 5 because it’s where my coworkers and I also go. I mean, where can you find a $ 2 breakfast sandwich these days that are actually not processed? It’s healthy and yummy.
The also have $ 5 pitas, depending on the day.
Monday — grilled chicken pita.
It’s like eating chicken salad in a pita. It’s so fresh and tastey. They added hummus, which made the pita so much more filling.
Tuesday — tuna sandwich (my fave)
Almost every Tuesday, my coworker has this for lunch. It’s pretty good.
Wednesday — chipotle chicken panini (it’s also pretty good)
Thursday — Philly cheese steak (it’s a meh)
I wouldn’t order it again. I actually don’t recommend it. It’s a disappointment to what a Philly cheese steak should be. I mean, it’s not bad, just not good for what it is supposed to be.
Friday — vegetarian burrito (I’ve never tried)
My all time fave from them is the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap ($ 6.99). The croutons inside give it a crunch to your bite and they’re also generous with their bacon. Mmmmm… I’m actually craving one now that I’m writing this review.

I only heard about this place from a yoga instructor at Yoga Tree Midtown. Just steps away. Boy am I glad I came in here. The salad bar was similar to Whole foods except it won’t cost an arm and leg. Approx. $ 5 for a small box. It was all by weight.
Tried to sample lots of vegetarian options (kale, quinoa, etc.). It was good and fresh.
Staff was very friendly and it was clean. Fit for Life is located at the back of a convenience store.
Will definitely be back again if I’m hungry and in the area.

To go place to grab lunch. A small box of customized salad is often around $ 5. There’s a lot of variety with salads: kale, quinoa (my favourite), mango, pasta … The list goes on. The fruits are fine, they don’t taste too fresh but it is understandable since they probably have been standing outside for 1 – 2 hours. The veggie burrito on Friday is also the bomb, very similar to chipotle for only $ 5! I have introduced several of my friends to this place and they have become a regular as well.

Love grabbing my $ 2 veggie western in the morning for breakfast. The staff are genuinely nice people. I only go there 3 – 4 times a month but the girl there always recognizes me and remembers how i like my sandwich. I don’t have salad too often as i don’t care too much for cold foods. I picked up some cold fried tofu and didn’t like very much. It was dehydrated and rubbery. But that said, they do have a great selection of salad items. Also love their $ 5 lunch deals. Im vegetarian so i only get their veggie burrito on fridays. Great meal for the price.

Wendy, the very sweet and kind Chinese owner is exceptionally helpful, customer oriented and very generous. Their salad bar is amazing, giving one almost all the necessary rainbow colors a salad bowl requires. Her sandwiches and the daily prepared dishes are of good quality, however, some of the prepared food such as the noodles and seafood need quite a bit of oil reduction. One can definitely make a very juicy and tasty meal out of so much options. You can also custom make your smoothies, sandwiches, wraps, or anything at your own discretion. T.O. for sure needs more places like this with reasonable pricing. I have tried other fit for life branches, but they aren’t even close to the options this place offers :-)

This is as healthy as it could get! It’s not the regular fit for life which only has wraps. You need to check it out to see what I meant. The salad bar is made fresh daily replenish often with love. The owner is a sweet lady who loves what she do. That’s is to feed people and make them feel health and great.
The best part is you get to customized your own salad they have pretty much all the good stuff I meant greens, fruits protein, pickles you name it. My absolute favorite is roasted sweet potato they are perfect roasted beautiful caramelized brought out natural sweetness and lots of dietary fiber loads of goodness. Egg salad and potato salad are also very good not super heavy drenched in mayo but good amount so that its creamy. The Chinese seaweed full of iron so does beets. I always throw in a couple of avocado, that’s where the good fat is coming from let alone taste so amazing. They also have daily special for only $ 5 I tried the tuna wrap and steak great value. Price are student friendly for the salad by weight. You know a lot of time in downtown core those food court you get a tiny box of greens for over$ 10 have to admit the price is what throw me off eating healthy cause would still be hungry after eating tiny portion of greens. As opposed to this place for half the price you get big portion, fresher and a good variety of ingredients. Once you found it you are are your way to be fit and healthy) I don’t want to say lose weight or anything cause I think ultimate most of us want to be fit and feel good about ourselves)

The lunch buffet is so very tasty with a great variety of options. Many kinds of yummy and creative salads. I wish they were open for dinner too!

Don’t be fooled by the convenience store at the front of this place, Fit for Life is a truly hidden gem! It has a fresh, widely varied salad, fruit and kimchi bar and the pricing per 100 gms is quite reasonable. The staff are super friendly too and the place is very clean. Décor… I’m never so concerned about this but I wish the convenience store nonsense were tucked away somewhere less conspicuous and that there were more seating near the window. Will definitely be a lunch regular here!

This place is THE best.
Wendy doesn’t advertise because word of mouth of her amazing business gives her a lot of business as it is. I started coming here after my workouts at the nearby GoodLife and I became quickly hooked. Like an addict, I come here and scour the salad bar and it is exactly what the name says — FRESH. Wendy and her team start from scratch every morning and it is as fresh as possible and she is so friendly. I haven’t ordered a sandwich because the variety in the salad bar is so extensive — and it’s not your typical salad bar. There’s cooked sushi rolls, eggrolls, kimchi, egg salad, pasta salads, bean salad, roasted sweet potatoes and other roasted veggies like brussel sprouts — and the kale/​beet salad and mango salad, and the list goes on and on… GO people. This place is open Mon — Fri. from morning thru lunch. It is awesome.

Hidden gem tucked away at the back of a convenience store so it’s easy to miss. Great variety of food at the salad bar and great value for money. Friendly, courteous service.

Best place to eat in the area… anything and everything you could want for the best prices, wraps, rice, chicken, Salad Bar so you can make your own salad, ANY veggie or fruit you could want or crave. Daily specials and my personal favorite is on Thursdays the chilli chicken with rice. I highly recommend this place and Wendy the owner is so nice and friendly. Trust me if your looking for a fast delicious and healthy meal then look no further ! 5 out of 5

Love love love this place! I work in the area so I’ve tried most of the possible food spots for lunch options. This one beats them all in my opinion.
If you like healthy food and variety you should give this a go. Be warned: this is not a spot for the grease loving North American crowd — no deep fried or stale veggies here :). It is much healthier than «Fresh» and much much cheaper. And the service is alot friendlier and faster as well. Once it took me 20 minutes to get my order of kombucha and pre-​made salad at Fresh… but thats a whole different topic.
Back to fit for life — try their salad bar — their best feature!

I dropped off one star only because I’d have gone to this place much sooner had I known it was there! It’s hidden in the back of a convenience store in the Bell building (by all the Crosstown construction) Super friendly staff, fresh produce in the salad bar. My wish list would be for allergy alerts (icons?) for the premixed salad bar items, and for an indicator of organic produce.

My go to for lunch. Large selection at the salad bar. Inexpensive salads. You’re charged by weight so I try to put more of the ‘lighter’ veggies in my take out box.
They have a special $ 5 sandwich every day of the week. My favourite is there falafel wrap on Mondays, and Chicken Burrito Wrap on Fridays (?).
Tuesday and Friday they also have curry chicken and rice — $ 5 for a small. Extremely spicy but delicious. I’m willing to suffer through it every time.
Was addicted to their Thai Curry Soup for awhile too.
Also, I go for their $ 2.50 BELT sandwich in the mornings.
Have I made my point that this is the ultimate go to for quick food around the Yonge and Eglinton area?
Wendy, the cashier is extremely nice and friendly. I look forward to seeing her every time! She also doesn’t worry too much about change. Sometimes I don’t have enough exact change, maybe 5 or 10 cents less and I’m trying to find a quarter, she would say don’t worry about it. When I find that quarter, I always drop it in the tip jar. Really appreciate her friendliness and service.

FFL is awesome.
Staff is super beyond friendly.
Sandwich options are insane
Salad bar is fully stocked.
Reasonably priced.
Qualify ingredients throughout.
This is gonna be my go-​to stop after working out. Lots of protein to pick from (yay muscle-​building) and decent beverage options.
They’re good about filling up my water bottle and just cheering me up. Truly committed to fitness and everything that comes with it (including post-​workout cranks like me ;)
Looking forward to my next stop here. Will throw on some pics next time.
I RECOMMEND– Everything
EXTRA TIP– make it your sandwich! the ladies here often throw avocado into my sandwich without any extra charge even though it’s only part of the salad bar.

Love this hidden place (yes it’s at the back of a convenience store)… Instead of buying all your veggies and fruits to make a salad (and have most of it go bad because ur only one person) — this place has a whole selection that is already chopped up and ready for you to pick from their buffet style selection! You get a choice of a small or large container and you just fill up on the stuff you like… Most of the food is healthy; fruits, veggies, tofu, eggs etc. You can add meat or falafel at the counter for protein and voila– a simple healthy meal with no trouble at all…
The value is great for what you get– no more wasting time chopping up veggies for a salad for me anymore :)
I have to add that the lady at the cash is AMAZING and so so friendly… Also super fast and efficient at moving the line very quickly during the busy times which is mainly lunch time during the work week.
Nothing fancy at this place but you’re not there for the look of the place but for the food! :)

Working at Yonge and Eglinton, I am deeply appreciative this place. The food is fresh, diverse and healthy. Relative to what you are getting, it is also very fairly priced. It utterly lacks in atmosphere if you are looking to stick around and eat what you order in the location. It is tucked at the back of a convenience store with sparse, uncomfortable seating at the back. Make plans to eat at your desk or elsewhere if you stop by. Still, I give it five stars because it does what it sets out to do perfectly — offer fresh, incredibly delicious and healthy food fast and at a fair price.

VIBE
In this convenience store in-​front-​healthy eatery at the back, it’s like I’m at a buffet except this time it’s not at a baby shower and I’m crowded by strangers. Love that this is right near my office and love that there’s now a location at Queen and Bathurst.
I ATE
Their Thai chicken curry soup is addictive! I always try to get a salad to go with it. Best part? I can pick my own toppings! Ohh yeah. Plus, sometimes, I can have bowtie pasta on my spinach. Because sometimes, there are days like that. Note: please get regular Snapple iced tea. Snapple, are you listening? Don’t discontinue your classic iced tea!
OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK
Possibly the best value for healthy food in this city. Eating well doesn’t have to be for the elite!

Ok so I work up at Yonge and Eglinton. There are a fair few places to choose from when looking for something to eat at lunch. One of my colleagues recommended Fit for Life and oh lordy I am so glad they did!
Everything is so fresh and delicious, the first time I went I did not quite understand you pay for your salad box by the weight… oh dear!
The cucumber dressed in yogurt, mint and dill — wow! Sweet potato salad is also lovely.
Fit for life… when you realize salad can be amazing!
