As owner/manager of Alka’s Total Fitness, I am excited to welcome you to my Boutique Fitness Studio. It’s a bright airy place where you will find a home for all your fitness needs. I love to share the passion!
At Alka’s Total Fitness we believe in giving you the opportunity to learn and grow with a variety of fitness classes. Not sure if you are going to love a particular class? Take advantage of our First Step Program, an opportunity to access what has made us absolutely the best place in Thornhill to get in shape! Once you register you can book any one of a variety of classes and plan ahead.
“Challenge yourself in the heart of Thornhill with the only location offering you The Total Fitness Experience!”
Having made my personal journey to fitness, I want to share my love of health and wellness to the Thornhill community.
YOUR WELLBEING IS MY PASSION & PURPOSE
My three passions are dancing, kickboxing and helping women be the best versions of themselves. Having struggled with weight in my earlier years, I desperately wanted to learn how I could turn my life around.
My dance training led me into the world of Latin and Ballroom dancing, and eventually to performing in major competitions in Toronto, Montreal and the U.S.
Fitness is all about passion, and so I found the strength to evolve to where I am today, equipped to help women in their own parallel journey.
In life, you need to find your pleasure, your passion and your purpose. Dance is a form of fitness, which led me to open Alka’s Total Fitness studio.

Over 10 years ago I started Million Dollar Smiles with the simple goal of wanting to bring smiles to children facing life threatening illnesses. I began with a small group of volunteers and together we helped change the life of 10 families in our first year through our Travelling Teddy Bear campaign. After years of running numerous fund-raising events resulting in many smiles, we have grown into a group of dedicated volunteers who organize fundraisers that support our gift-giving campaigns and special events.
A surprisingly wonderful by-product of starting Million Dollar Smiles has been the amazing volunteer community that we have built! These volunteers are not just great because of their fundraising efforts but also because they really roll up their sleeves and get involved.
Our very successful Summer Playground Build program entails teams of 20+ volunteers building playgrounds over a weekend in the backyard of our special MDS children.
We also get a huge turnout for our Holiday Bear Drive. Every Christmas over 200 volunteers take time out during the busy holiday season to help us deliver 4-foot Teddy Bears (each with $100 Toys R Us gift certificates) to children around Toronto and area. Each year we continue to surpass our goals of delivering smiles and hugs to our special MDS children during the important holiday season.
Our 8th annual Halloween Gala Fundraiser will be held on Friday October 24th at the Paradise Banquet Hall in Vaughan, Ontario. This new location will enable us to accommodate over 800 guests at this very popular event.
While we also organize many other fundraising events throughout the year, we challenge you to take part and Plan a Fundraiser of your own. No event is too small and no amount of money raised is too insignificant to help support our efforts.
I believe that in today’s world we are all rushing around trying to keep up with our many responsibilities and so often can take many small precious moments for granted, those simple moments that instantly make our lives a little brighter and richer. Taking the time to give and see the results of those efforts is a huge gift.
With every smile given and received, our hearts gets a little stronger and in return only brings true happiness.
