At Zibi, wellness is more than just a trend; it is a fundamental part of our commitment to the One Planet Living® principle of Health and Happiness. We believe that creating an environment that encourages active living, social connection, and mental well-being is essential for building a truly sustainable community. Whether you are a fitness enthusiast or looking for a peaceful escape, Zibi offers a wide range of wellness events and facilities designed to help you thrive. 

Here are some examples of the activities Zibi organizes for residents and the community.  

Mindful movement: Yoga and Pilates 

Our yoga and pilates sessions are a great opportunity for members of the community to find balance, and each other. 

  • Yoga sessions led by residents: Every Wednesday, Zibi residents are invited to join one another for resident-led yoga sessions that foster both physical flexibility and community bonds. 
  • Candlelight Pilates: Starting in August, Zibi will be hosting atmospheric candlelight pilates sessions in the beautifully refurbished La Ruelle.  
  • Pilates and Matcha: Exercise doesn’t have to be boring. Over the past months, Zibi has held special events that combine a vigorous pilates workout with the calming ritual of a fresh matcha.  

Active Exploration and Social Connection 

Wellness is also about getting outside and having fun with neighbours. 

  • Dance at Zibi: The Dance at Zibi series will be back this summer for a third edition, kicking off on May 21 with a Bollywood workshop. Join us at these monthly dance events, designed to get your heart rate up and your spirits even higher. 
  • Bike Tours: Last fall, residents had a great time on the Zibi-led Brewery Bike Tour. More bike events are planned for this summer to help our residents explore local gems by blending active transportation with social stops. We will also be hosting an EnviroCentre Let’s Bike repair workshop for the community and visitors on June 4th. Stay tuned for more information.  
  • Skating Nights: This past winter, residents were invited to embrace the crisp air at our community skating night held nearby at the Ruisseau de la brasserie. This fun evening was a perfect way to stay active and enjoy the season. 

First-Class Facilities and Green Spaces 

Zibi’s wellness offering is supported by its high-quality onsite amenities and anticipating more than 8 acres of waterfront parks.  

  • Fitness Centers: Residents of Aalto, Aalto II and Voda have direct access to modern, fully equipped fitness facilities – with breathtaking views of the Ottawa River – making it easy to fit a workout into even the busiest schedule. 
  • Community Gardens: Residents can get their hands in the soil and connect with nature in our community gardens. Gardening is a proven way to reduce stress while providing the opportunity to grow your own fresh produce. 
  • Waterfront parks: Both Panguishimo and Tesasini parks are wonderful places to take in the beauty of a sunset or sunrise on the Ottawa River, while getting your steps in, close to home. 

At Zibi, we invite you to design a lifestyle that prioritizes your well-being. From the quiet glow of a candlelight pilates class to the communal energy of a bike tour, there are endless ways to find your “Health and Happiness” here.
