GoodLife Fitness

We are athletes traveling from the US. the kid at the front desk wanted us to wait 15 minutes to «talk to someone» for us to use the gym once. Terrible customer service. Just assumed we are regular morals wanting to use the smith machine.

Great to have a 24 hour gym just a 5 min drive from my area. Just nestled in a random plaza with a grocery store and a bunch of other services. I’d have to say this location is on my top 3 list. It’s nice and spacious and never too busy during rush hour. I also like the size of their group FX room compared to other locations where you are not crammed. I also won’t go to the gym if the change rooms are gross as they are highly unsanitary. This location change rooms are kept clean and is never too busy so you never need to look or wait for a locker.
There is lots of equipment to use and all are very well maintained. This gym provides Group Exercise classes and spinning classes. There is also a women’s section which is a lot bigger than other locations that I’ve been to.
Lastly, I am giving this 5^th star to the service. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Consistent service! Each time you come in and leave they always greet you. Very rare to find this at the other locations!

I’ve heard that every GoodLife location is pretty different in terms of service, people, etc. — this particular one has thoroughly impressed me. Staff is always friendly and helpful, instructors are extremely knowledgeable and exceptional teachers, and the crowd is always manageable (even during weekday evenings). After being told all about the horror stories that happen at gyms, I’m happy to say that I haven’t really experienced any of them (being stared at/​judged, people refusing to clean up after themselves, no equipment available, etc.). Excellent location — highly recommended for anyone looking for a gym regardless of fitness level.
FYI — this gym is located on the second floor of a building, and to get to the reception you need to climb a set of stairs (around 2 floors). Assuming you don’t opt for the elevator for some reason, and you go to the gym 3 times a week, that is 300 extra floors per year you’ll be climbing — just by going! Haha.

Great location for my intense gym sessions! This place is MASSIVE! It has its own section for Women and a huge section for weights, cardio, and machines. Anything you can ask for is here… except for a swimming pool but I dont know how to swim anyways so that does not bother me. Haha!
This place is also 24 hours so that is a huge bonus as well!

This is the goodlife location I’ve been coming to lately. I haven’t been organized enough to check the class schedule before I come down here, but the machines are in pretty good shape. They have a ladies only area, it’s pretty clean. I’m not afraid of the showers. Really, there’s not much more you can ask of from a gym.

It’s a fairly large club. I like using the women’s only section. They have all the equipment I usually use — cardio machines (bikes, treadmills, elliptical machines, stairs…), free weights, a bench, bars, mats, exercise and bosu balls, foam rollers… This section is generally very quiet, and I don’t have to wait for a bench or machine like at some other GoodLife locations (eg downtown, way too overcrowded).
The downside of course is the high cost of membership, however if you can afford it or get a good deal (eg corporate deals) then the membership is definitely worth it.

Pros:
— Super clean gym (including the locker rooms),
— Mostly friendly outgoing staff (nobody outright rude, but some who just don’t seem to want to be there)
— Nice selection of machines, dumbbells go fairly high and you’ll never have to search for plates… they’re everywhere and plentiful.
— Lots of cardio machines, even at peak hours you can find a machine… maybe just not the one you want.
— never seems to get too busy except when the high school classes are there but they seem to stick mainly to the machines and cardio area
— 24 hours, 4 days a week (big big plus for me)
— massage chairs :)
Cons:
— Not the best laid out gym. The «Personal Training Exclusive» area is pointless. I’ve been at the gym for around 2 years, going at all hours and have seen this area in use maybe THREE times. The trainers are always out on the floor with their clients… why even bother with a dedicated area? The freeweight section could have and should have been double the size as it’s always quite crowded, even at off-​peak times like 11pm
— speaking of the freeweight section, it’s just a hodge podge of random benches. Some fixed, some adjustable. Why not just make them all adjustable? Annoying when you want to do incline but all that’s available is an upright bench. Makes the crowding issue even worse… replace them all with adjustable benches!
— need more attachments for the cable machines to go around.
Overall…this is a solid gym for the price I pay (corporate membership) but I’m hoping Goodlife soon takes over LA Fitness in Canada lol

I train every day virtually, and experience a lot of gyms as I travel overseas regularly. This gym is average at best, and over priced, the guys at the counter give a bit of attitude as well. Sauna usually smells like toilet, thanks to some people who choose not to wear any clothing nor towel, so for someone like me who likes to train every day, and is in the gym very regularly. this is not the most ideal gym, but based apon my experiences of gyms in this surrounding area. sadly this is the only half decent one around for literally miles. and miles, the Kennedy one is so shit, I had a free week pass and every time I went I felt depressed. ¹⁄₁₀ with all things considered in particular, monthly price.
Some of the guys here runt and moan and yell to much in training, it severely irritates me. Some gyms have good etiquette in the weights area, most do not, this one is no different.
Need to fix the piping, it stinks like shit in the showers /​toilets /​sauna area.
Positive note, the fitness studio is good but its hard to screw that up for a gym.
Hope this was useful.

I have been to a number of GoodLife Fitness clubs around the city, and this is the best.
It is a new facility with high ceilings and big windows to keep it bright and airy feeling inside.
All of the machines are new, they have lots of weight machines and enough free weights to keep everyone happy. Their fitness studios are nice, and they have one of the best RPM instructors in the city.
There’s more than enough parking, even at peak hours, and the change rooms feel very clean.
The staff are very friendly and helpful, there are a lot of them (it’s a big facility).
Worth the trek if it’s not your closest gym, this place is my favourite GoodLife facility in the GTA.
