GoodLife Fitness Canada Anmeldelser 

The gyms themselves in Alberta that I have been to are okay, decent facilities, with the standard equipment. I will say the spray and stiff cheap paper towels that barely anyone uses make it a little gross and I suggest always spraying the equipment down before and after. GoodLife company itself has policies that are not very member friendly. Having previously worked for a chain gym, I was shocked to hear when I could not use the gym for 3 months (with proof of such) and had not known that they wouldn’t be able to credit me back (as other gyms do). I understand that I should have froze the account, my mistake. But the fact they would not even consider making an exception when I was absolutely willing to pay for another year upfront, and the responses I received basically told me to stop trying it’s their policy and they will not make exceptions shows their lack of compassion and care for its members.

On top of this, they’ve been through multiple controversies with the Kirpan and putting women in vulnerable situations.

Would not recommend.

The Good Life meadowvale gym is an average place to work out compared to the other gyms in the area.
The recumbent bikes located on the main floor need to be replaced with new bikes as they are old and access to the built in TV and audio has not worked on most of these bikes for a couple of weeks.
I have let the staff at the front desk know about this 3 times over the last 2 weeks and nothing has been done.
Goodlife,.please do better.

GoodLife fitness

I’ve been a member of GoodLife Fitness for over a year now, and I can honestly say it has become an important part of my life.

Over the past year, I’ve worked hard becoming more active, improving my fitness, building strength, and staying consistent with my workouts. I’ve seen progress in my stamina and overall fitness, and that has given me even more motivation to keep going.

One of the things I really enjoy about GoodLife is the variety of equipment, especially the latest and newest weight machines. Having so many options allows me to change up my workouts and continue challenging myself.

The staff are friendly and welcoming, the gym is clean and well maintained, and the overall atmosphere keeps me motivated. I genuinely enjoy coming to the gym and seeing my own progress.

After more than a year, I can say that GoodLife has been a great part of my fitness journey. I’m proud of the progress I’ve made so far, and I’m looking forward to continuing to improve. 💪

Highly recommended to anyone who wants to get active, stay motivated, and work toward their own fitness goals!

Thank you
GoodLife and all fabulous staff and trainers,

Hwy 27 location

The gym is neat, clean, and well-maintained, and the staff is very friendly. I would also like to give a special shout-out to my personal trainer, Nafeesa, who is honestly the best trainer I have ever had. She is amazing, and I truly appreciate her dedication and professionalism.

However, I have some serious concerns about the gym's facilities, pricing, and recent changes.

The location I attend is quite small, and I have never understood why GoodLife Fitness has multiple smaller locations within a 10 to 15-minute drive of each other while offering much larger, brighter, and more spacious facilities in other areas. Where I live, I have two GoodLife locations within a 12 to 15-minute drive, and both are among the smaller facilities.

If larger facilities are not available in certain areas, I believe the membership pricing should reflect the difference in the amenities and space provided. We are still paying approximately $80 per month, the same as members who have access to much larger facilities. Most people are not going to drive an hour to Brampton, Vaughan, or Mississauga just to access a bigger gym.

My biggest concern, however, is the recent renovation. The gym previously had a dedicated personal training area, but that space has now been removed to accommodate more machines. While I understand that this may benefit members who work out independently, it has created significant challenges for those of us who pay extra for personal training.

I pay approximately $500 extra for one-on-one training, on top of my $80 monthly membership. That is nearly $600 a month, and I expect to receive the dedicated attention and access to equipment that I am paying for.

Unfortunately, since the changes were made, both my trainer and I frequently have to wait for machines. Sometimes the waiting is so long that a one-hour training session stretches to an hour and a half. My trainer's other clients are also waiting, and the entire experience has become frustrating and inconvenient.

I genuinely liked the renovation, but I feel that the needs of members who pay for personal training have been overlooked.

GoodLife Fitness really needs to reconsider how it manages its training areas and equipment availability. Members paying a premium for personal training should not have to spend so much of their session waiting for machines.

I love my trainer and appreciate the cleanliness and friendly staff, but the current situation is becoming difficult to justify financially. If these issues are not addressed, I will seriously consider cancelling my membership.

At this point, we’re prepared to pursue the matter in civil court. We have tried to cancel our GoodLife Fitness memberships three times. Yet they have kept taking money out of our account, pausing our membership for 6 months, and reactivating it with out consent. We haven’t set foot in the gym in over a year, yet more than $1,000 has been taken from our account. When I called again, I was told there was no record of our earlier cancellation requests. I couldn’t speak to a supervisor, and no one could resolve the issue. This is a prime example of corporate greed, and I do not recommend getting tied up in their web of scams.

I had been a member for 13 years and had favourable experiences with the in-person staff. However, I had ONE incident, yes ONE, (in the entire 13 years(!)whereby my account had NSF. I remedied this in person. Despite putting my account on freeze and then ultimately cancelling my account, they decided that I still owed $27 for a week. Paying the $27 was not an issue if I owed it but what was absolutely disgusting is the fact that they harassed me daily with emails and phone calls to acquire this $27. Essentially bullying me to pay! You would think that after giving them well over $10,000 they would have the decency to simply wave that amount. Clearly they do not value you as a long term client. It’s all about the money! Be very aware.

excellent yoga instruction from all 3 instructors I'm familiar with at Rideau Centre Ottawa - Stacey, Helen, and special props to Fred K. who has some superb specialty elements in his programs.

I would like to give a shout out to Kelly Sandra J. a gifted instructor for her knowledge, anatomy, meditation techniques, passion and more for teaching hot yoga.

Early in 2026 I added hot yoga classes to my membership for a stronger body, to stretch, strengthen, and relieve my sciatica pain. Kelly Sandra's attention to movement, body and spirit is impeccable, and I leave each class with amazing energy and a deep sense of relaxation and peace. I’ve never felt stronger, more in-tuned with my mind and body or as centered. Every class is unique with a mix of strength, flow, deep breathing, and relaxation.

Thank you, GoodLife Deerfoot City for an amazing and highly talented instructor “Kelly Sandra J.”. Kelly Sandra’s yoga classes are not only pleasurable and relaxing, but also healing.

My only regret is that I wish I would have started hot yoga classes earlier in life.

They allowing weapons in the gym.

Racist establishment. Unsafe for real women. Will never consider this place again. There are many other options out there.

Use to be a GoodLife member, after seeing how the corporation handled the incident with the guy carrying a knife 🔪 into the gym, and let me be clear about it, I don’t care what you or anyone else says, it’s Not religious it’s a weapon period. The employee did the right thing by kicking the bum out, what GoodLife did to the employee by firing her for doing her job is despicable and shameful, I’ve cancelled my membership and boycott GoodLife indefinitely. You people are pathetic peace’s of 💩

Dangerous gym they allow terr.rist with knives to intimidate others

They allow weapons to be taken in. A 9.5 inch combat knife is not a religious item. They later fired the women trying to protect the clients of the gym. I’ve canceled my membership

Good life fitness allowed a 9 inch hunting knife inside a public space and caved to "religious discrimination" claims when the safety of the public is the main concern.

The gym at 5:30-5:45 was absolutely rammed with people
waiting for machines.
One of the usual culprits was using THREE machines. He had
his bag draped over one machine while working on another
and was sprinting to a third while leaving his towel on the second
machine. One person waiting in line suggested to me that he
throw the bag in the garbage. I said no, they want us to report this
to the attendant up front, which I did. MOST people stand in line
in fear of this individual and wait for him to finish,,,
The attendant came over and explained to him that he could not
occupy three stations, to which he replied and I quote "people can
request the use of "MY" machines and I will allow them to us it".
I went home again and reread Goodlife Standcare Policies and can't
believe you condone this continual behavior.
This is the second week in a row that I have written to you about
this individual and have not seen any change in his behaviour.

unsafe gym. will never go again

Since Goodlife fitness allows people to bring Kirpans and blades inside the Gym, I don’t believe it to be a Safe and inclusive environment to work out.

There should be NO weapons in a Gym! No matter your religion… you don’t see Christian’s Bringing in Claymore Swords…

Gym is supposed to be a safe place to work out! You have failed the people, Goodlife fitness, you have failed your clients in NOT providing a safe, sound workout environment!

I hope you go bankrupt!

This is a joke if a company, should not be allowed to have weapons inside the gym.
If the person having weapons want to workout with weapons on them. Then get your own home gym or come without weapon.

Safety should always come first. Every member has the right to feel safe while using the facility. Allowing someone to bring an 8-inch hunting knife is unacceptable and should not be tolerated. Shame

Not worth it. You workout to extend your life and not the other way. Bring your business elsewhere safe.
