GoodLife Fitness Barrie Commerce Park

Fantastic experience: I don’t visit this gym often since it’s a bit out of my way, but every time I do, I wish it were closer to home. Its location is incredibly convenient for those nearby—tucked just off a main road with ample parking, making it easy to pop in for a session. The gym gets busy, especially during peak evening hours, but it’s manageable; I’ve rarely waited more than a minute for a machine. The staff are a standout—warm, welcoming, and always ready to assist with a smile, which makes the atmosphere inviting. What really impresses me is the vast selection of equipment. From cutting-edge cardio machines to an extensive range of free weights and functional fitness gear, there’s something for every workout style, whether you’re into bodybuilding, CrossFit, or just staying active. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully laid out, so it never feels chaotic despite the crowd. If this gym were closer, I’d be here all the time—it’s that good. For anyone in the area, it’s a fantastic spot to train.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, all the equipment you need , sauna and massage chairs. Perfect place to work out

Fantastic experience: Harshil and Andy are always super friendly and helpful. They make coming here to work out so easy. Well done to the management for hiring these two.

Fantastic experience: This was my first time at this location and I feel so welcome! The staff were so friendly and helpful. Candice, Dorothy, and Harshil were absolutely warm and were so happy to show me around and make me feel comfortable. What a great experience - I highly recommend this location for any person looking to either start out their workout journey or advance. The set-up and vibe is perfect for both!

Fantastic experience: Good gym, Ben at the front desk is great!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great staff. Thanks!

Negative experience: Normally go to the Bradford location , and was shocked at the difference in condition of this place. The gym and staff itself are fine. However, the men’s change room was very dirty and unsanitary. Floors were absolutely filthy, garbage throughout. The sauna is disgusting (smell, dirty floors, mold, rotting wood behind the tiles). And the showers were the worst part. There is black mold on all of the shower curtains and throughout the ceiling of the entries shower area. I’m surprised it has not been shut down by the health unit.

Negative experience: So stinky

Fantastic experience: Night Employee Harshil was very helpful and friendly

Negative experience: No towel service. Cold showers.Tiny lockers. Not suitable for a person out of town.

Fantastic experience: Shout out to Andy and Harshil! Just started to come to this location and have been greeted with amazing customer service. The gym is clean and equipment/weights are in their allocated spots.

Fantastic experience: Andy is a 10/10 employee he is so sweet and leaves me an amazing note every time I leave the physicality

Fantastic experience: Love the amount of space in the facility, the consistently clean and functioning equipment. Additionally, super kind, warm and welcoming staff - particularly Alanna - are great at helping accommodate and prioritize membership needs, going above and beyond. Always a fabulous experience!

Negative experience: This location is the worst location as compared to other locations in ontario . Ths location don’t have a towel service which is very essential moreover gym also has a poor hygiene level ,

Fantastic experience: I've always had caring, compassionate, and helpful interactions with the staff whenever I’ve worked out here. A special shout-out to the managers, Steph and Alanna, and to Dorothy, whose warmth and positivity brighten every visit. I genuinely look forward to visiting this GoodLife whenever I'm in the area.

Negative experience: Gym itself is well equipped with great parking options. Equipment is reasonably maintained for a commercial high traffic gym. Where the negative lay is in the front desk staff (which seems to be the source of all negative reviews at this location) Wife and I are an interracial couple and the front desk staff immediately treated us horribly as a result. I've had zero incidents at GoodLife since becoming a member 15 years ago. We work out daily together at various locations in the GTA and take turns holding our baby in the seating area while the other works out. This has helped my postpartum wife get back into working out, and has done wonders for her self-image. After dealing with the visibly upset racist woman who left for the day, the other front desk staff member (a male with a beard) working at the time indicated that "she's like that" and that I shouldn't take it personally. Very strange to deal with and the only explanation I had was a follow up call from a manager letting me know being interracial wasn't an issue. Happy this isn't my home gym. I recommend retraining the elderly lady who works the front desk on proper etiquette?

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough great things about GoodLife Fitness in Barrie, but I especially want to highlight Leigh! She is, hands down, one of the most caring, hardworking trainers and sales staff I’ve ever had the pleasure of interacting with. From the moment I walked in, Leigh went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and supported. Her passion for helping people achieve their fitness goals is unmatched—she truly listens and offers personalized advice that makes all the difference. Whether she’s coaching on the floor or assisting with memberships, Leigh’s dedication shines through. Her energy and positivity are infectious, and you can tell she genuinely cares about every single person she interacts with. If you’re considering joining GoodLife in Barrie, ask for Leigh—you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Anne is fantastic @ this particular Pump class! Love it! (Love her explanations!). Xoxoxo

Fantastic experience: Goodlife fitnessnis amazing! I recently started my gym journey with my husband, and I feel so fortunate to have Tristan as my trainer. After undergoing knee replacement surgery last year, I was nervous about getting back into fitness, but Tristan has been incredibly supportive and careful about my condition. He designed a personalized program that focuses on my needs while ensuring my safety at every step. His gentle approach, attention to detail, and constant encouragement have made me feel confident and motivated to keep going. Tristan truly stands out as a trainer who genuinely cares about his clients' well-being. If you’re looking for someone knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated, Tristan is the one to trust!

Fantastic experience: This is by far the best gym in Barrie! There is such a good vibe from all the staff and members, a healthy community that is serious about fitness! it a great place to get a lift in and have a laugh or a friendly conversation! Shout out to Alanna and Shakira for running such a fantastic gym, and Andy for being such a funny character always with a smile on his face!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this year for a year now and I have to this service is completely fantastic. Everyday I am welcomed with a smile and wished a good workout. Everytime I leave I get wished a good day. I come in the mornings and my days are set with greatest! This lovely gentleman names Andy that works here is always rocking a smile and great energy. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this crew here at GoodLife Barrie!

Fantastic experience: I have been a Goodlife member for 4 years, primarily training at the Newmarket location, but after moving to Alcona and giving this location a shot, I fell in love. This gym is perfect, spacious, well equipped, and has a really cool vibe. The staff is wonderful, I've had interaction with mostly Stephanie and she is a doll, very approachable and sweet and never pushy in any way! Fantastic gym that has become my new home!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member here for almost 2 years, and going 5-6 days a week. I have not once had a bad experience with any staff member or fellow gym members. All of the staff, trainers, management and front desk staff are happy, positive, encouraging and knowledgeable. I have done training sessions with Stephanie and she was excellent, her knowledge for helping improve lifts, movements and rehabilitation of bad joint is incredible she has helped me recover from shoulder and elbow injuries. My daughter has done training with Brandon and he was fantastic with her and helped her learn how to use the equipment and find training programs suitable for a 12yo. Yes they try to sell you more training, but that is their job they want to see you continue to improve yourself. That's how both of them came off to me, more worried about helping myself and my daughter become healthier and improving our lifestyle then making a buck ( as some reviewers have stated recently). If you are clear with them that you are not interested in buying they fully understand. I have participated in fundraising events (Lift for Kids) they have held and the staff that where involved where very enthusiastic and cheering everyone on. The training staff is a great team that's been assembled be Leigh and Steph.

Fantastic experience: 5 stars!!! Candace is absolutely amazing and made my experience signing up amazing. I’ve never had such a great experience signing up for something before in my life. If I could give 10 stars I would.

Positive experience: i like this place but noticing some of the treadmills are very dusty. not as hygenic as it should be

Negative experience: Absolutely horrid place to choose to potentially join ..the pressure from management, Steph and Leigh to get personal training is intense . They tag team on you saying whatever needed just to get you to sign up for training. It is shameful!!!! NEVER WOULD RECOMMEND THIS GYM TO ANYONE THE MANAGEMENT CARES MORE ABOUT SALES NOT PEOPLE!

Fantastic experience: These 5 stars are for Candice ehhhemmm roses are red and so is GoodLife Candice is the king of Barrie GoodLife violets are blue witch means Candice’s GoodLife is the one for you she wears a cape she got sweet wheels she’ll sell you on the sauna and tanning room couldn’t imagine a GoodLife FITNESS WITH OUT CANDICE … sign up now ask for Candice the king (hoodie?)

Fantastic experience: Alanna and harshl were amazing. Took care of my needs quickly and professionally.

Positive experience: Great gym enjoy going here

Fantastic experience: I went in there for a free workout and before I even finished my workout I knew I was signing up for a membership. Andy was the most friendly and helpful gym worker I have ever met. The gym was very clean and organized with a wide variety of machines and weights. Highly recommend this gym

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great people, huge shoutout to Vanessa for being a wonderful human. When I was 14 on my birthday I came in for a workout and as I sign in she smiles and says “happy birthday “ May not seem like much, but this set a new standard for front desk people at gyms and in the last 8 years few have measured up to that standard. I’d recommend this facility to anyone :)

Fantastic experience: A big shout out to the general manager, Alana and the girl who works at the front desk Vanessa I think her name is. Both are excellent employees kudos to them.

Fantastic experience: We love Vanessa at the front desk at GoodLife. I do the pump classes and enjoy Krista, Ann and Anza’s classes.

Fantastic experience: Huge location, tons of machines and friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Yugant is an excellent personal trainer! He is highly detail-oriented and ensures that a thorough, customized plan is created to meet your specific fitness needs. His professionalism and dedication to his clients truly stand out. I highly recommend his services and wish him all the best in his future endeavors!

Fantastic experience: I had surgery 5 weeks ago and started at goodlife about 3 weeks ago . I also got a wonderful knowledgeable trainer victoria. She is helped me along the way. She is great at encouraging you when you feel your not able to do the routine. I am grateful for her and enjoy going to Goodlife for my new challenging transformation and new healthy way.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! There's lots of space and plenty of equipment to choose from. The staff are also very friendly on a day-to-day basis. John in particular was incredibly helpful with getting me signed up for my membership, getting me started, and showing me around. I always make sure to say hi to him when I see him cleaning up around the gym!

Fantastic experience: Vanessa is amazing and Dorothy is awesome these two make coming back every day an exciting experience. They support us in so many ways they make going to the gym fun

Fantastic experience: Karan walked me through some intense work outs in our personal sessions , vary professional and knowledgeable trainer. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve in the gym.

Fantastic experience: Candice was amazing, very helpful, polite and very personable. Highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Candice was extremely helpful and welcoming during our intake session.

Fantastic experience: Dorothy and Linda are the best front desk staff. I had my shaker cup stolen in the change room and they hooked me up with a new one no questions asked. We need more people like Dorothy and Linda.

Fantastic experience: Candice was very helpful and bubbly. Dorothy was smiling and courteous. Shakira was an amazing leader

Fantastic experience: I always have a good experience over there, the people at the desk are always welcoming and smiling. Greeting you with positivity and engaging with on the floor. Especially Andy who is always helpful on the floor, cleaning and sharing some good thoughts. I would definitely recommend people to go there.

Positive experience: Really great staff, the lack of basketball court means no loud teenagers. Pros: nice equipment, massage chairs,24h , Canadian Cons: small space, very light boxing bag and only one, no towel service.

Fantastic experience: Good gym, not terribly busy most times. Dorothy and Linda killing the door game.

Fantastic experience: Been coming here for over 20 years Love the classes and instructors

Fantastic experience: Number one She always makes me go further and corrects my postures.

Negative experience: Bad customer service

Fantastic experience: Linda is the best so friendly and always smiling Dorothy is super kind and helpful.

Negative experience: Rude front desk Yash is ruining the experience:(

Fantastic experience: The instructors and front desk staff are so welcoming and excellent at what they do - It’s clearly evident that they truly enjoy their work. The instructors that lead, motivate, and teach the classes that I take (Christa, Carrie, Angela, Anza, Christine, and Anne are phenomenal). They are super motivated, know their craft and put their heart and soul into each and every class, regardless of how their day may be going. Thank you all! I am so lucky to have found and chosen GoodLife as my gym - I feel a true sense of community when I go to the gym and I have made some really lovely friends in the process. Shout out to the front desk staff who always have a smile and a welcome for you when you arrive at the gym. Thanks GoodLife for making my life, brighter, stronger, and healthier!

Positive experience: This gym needs more lights in it.

Fantastic experience: A good atmosphere with a decent selection of equipment

Negative experience: Haven’t faced before a more rude and unprofessional front desk agent than Yash.

Negative experience: wanted to sign up to GoodLife Fitness, unfortunately faced a very rude front desk agent named Yash. wouldn't recommend this location to anyone who looking for a friendly customer service.

Fantastic experience: Only been to this location a few times, and let me tell you the staff is absolutely lovely, some of the best customer service I’ve experienced at any gym. Although the gym itself is a little older, they have a good amount of equipment and keep the gym nice and clean. The atmosphere is great, it’s never been too crowded and is well lit.

Fantastic experience: Awesome GoodLife location. It’s huge! Like 3-4x larger than my home gym. Absolutely love the dedicated women’s space. The Yoga instructor is lovely also.

Negative experience: I had a disappointing experience with a front desk agent Yash at GoodLife Fitness. The agent was unhelpful and rude, which left me feeling unwelcome. This does not reflect the high standards I expect from GoodLife. I hope management addresses this issue to improve customer service.

Fantastic experience: Been to a few gyms in and out of barrie and this one is by far my favourite. Fantastic staff and all of the equipment is updated and fixed quickly when down. Love the sauna too.

Fantastic experience: Nice gym! Lots of machine options.. lots of cardio machines as well. Did not have to wait for anything, kind staff and very clean

Fantastic experience: The guy name andy Is a very warm-hearted person, very hard-working

Positive experience: All and all a good gym, plenty of equipment, a little heavy on cardio but not so much that the weight section suffers. But beware, the change rooms are dirty, the sauna is dingy and there is no towel service. Goodlife should me more interested in the up keep of their gyms than pushing PT sessions

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff great trainers and a decent location

Fantastic experience: Shoutout to my man Andy! He was super helpful to me and my friend looking to get a workout in. Very friendly and knowledgeable about memberships and Fitness in general, he’s a weapon in weight room too! Such a dawg! Helped my friend get set up with a corporate account! Can’t recommend GoodLife enough

Fantastic experience: Great place to kill some time

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility. It quite literally has everything.

Negative experience: I go to workout, not have a Youtuber taking videos from his phone to post to his channel for monetary gain. Without anyone's permission or consent. Not cool. The Youtuber is Ken Domik. He tries to be sneaky by filming with his phone pointing down so he doesn't get caught. Just wanted to thank you for responding to my review, I also wanted to add that again on April 5th Ken Domik filmed the outside of the center and him walking in swipping his card getting a towel all while recording then proceeded to walk through gym. Then posting on his Youtube for monetary gain. You need to stop this man he is blatantly ignoring the rules and will continue to do so.

Fantastic experience: Hi My Name Is Lesley Brace-Mooney 16 months ago, I lost my dear husband at the young age of 51. A friend of mine recommeded that I come to GoodLife, I joined here years ago when my kids were babies, it was a wonderfu experience then, and evn bettr experience as I got a trainer. My first trainer was Karen she was lovely, she created a safe place for me to come cry and get fit. My other bonus trainer is Stehanie, shes lovely, we connected from the get go, now I look to her for guidence support and man did my life forever change. I lost 43 pounds, I created a full body workout, and now i feel comfortable coming her by myself. The love Ive recived was pure love. I have a new tribe that is awesome and full of kindness and it feels like home. From the moment I came here Vanessa at the front desk was lovely the others are great too!! Everyone is welcoming and full of kindness and always showing me lots of love!!! So if you looking and shopping around for a good gym look no more !! Thank you GoodLife I love you all like my extended Family xxx

Fantastic experience: Best faculty with upmost quality of products

Fantastic experience: Love it so far, clean safe and classes are very flexible!

Positive experience: Gave them a try with a free pass and it's nice but I can't wrap my head around the price. Went with a competitor that has a pool for a quarter the price because my wife gets in on my free guest pass.

Positive experience: The gym is fine in terms of equipment, people are friendly, don't bug you. Like pretty much everything else Barrie, its... okay, but not great. - No towel service - No hydro massage - Women's change room is on the second floor (wife hates this) - You're paying for amenities they do not have. I will be looking for another gym that has proper value for your money. Unfortunately I'm probably going to have to make the drive to Bradford. Barrie is.. Barrie.

Fantastic experience: Very clean gym, staff members are fantastic and always ready to help.

Negative experience: Great gym to workout but it's lacking towel service, every other good life has them. Paying for a service that's not provided to us

Negative experience: Do not go here, it's not the location..it's the company - but also this location sucks, after spending 2 months here I reached out for a tour and they never got back to me.

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms I have been to. Plenty of good parking and machines available.

Fantastic experience: Have been to 5 or 6 other GoodLife locations and this one is my favorite of all . Large facility, lots of equipment, clean and friendly staff .

Fantastic experience: Nice clean friendly

Fantastic experience: Great place 24 hrs open.

Negative experience: 2 stars due to lack of towel service, especially since its included and paid for in my membership bundle.

Fantastic experience: Great equipment selection, clean environment, and friendly staff.

Negative experience: No my cup of tea.. so expensive for not all I get included like pool and towel service. I shouldn't have to go to Toronto for pool service if I pay for it I go to barrie goodlife and this is why I left. Not worth the price

Negative experience: I'm leaving my original review up but changing the rating as I found out a few things that were being hidden from me during my time there. I left because it's not safe place to be and not worth the time or money investment. ____________ I'm going to start off by saying I hate going to gyms because they've always been snooty, uptight and predatory. With that If you have the same feelings I do you absolutely need to give this location a chance to change your mind. This gym is large and spacious. I have never had trouble finding a machine or any equipment I needed regardless of the time of day. It's also 24/hrs so if you want to go before work or after work there's that option as well. Everything is clean. I've seen more people wiping their machines down after use at this location than any other. Plus I don't recall ever seeing any used paper towels or cloth towels left on the equipment. The bathrooms are clean and well kept. Generally all the members are genuinely happy to be there. People smile and talk to each other sincerely. In classes, the members are helpful. When I first started going there a few members helped me find where the equipment was when I showed up late to the class and helped me get situated in the routines. There's also the staff. I have to commend the management and staff on a job well done for cultivating such a welcoming environment. When I first started here, I was given straight advice. No runaround. No upselling. I was given options that would fit where I was starting at and a choice on where I wanted to go. I ended up taking part in a bootcamp and a weekly fitness class. I generally got more comfortable and started using the wider gym areas. To my surprise, staff would stop and talk to me. Some corrected my form so I wouldn't be injured and even showed me a few additional things I could do on my own to help with overall muscle imbalances. Some even remembered my name. Personally I've never been so welcomed in a gym as a new member nor have I ever been this well looked after. I recommended this gym regardless of your fitness level but especially if you're looking to build a long time fitness community in a place where you will be respected and treated as a human and not a piggy bank.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this gym for years and have used their personal training services a few times. I have recently been training with Mark Raposo and he has been instrumental to my fitness journey. His understanding of fitness, and willingness to learn new techniques has created an enjoyable training program which challenges my currant fitness level and ensures an exceptional outcome. Since training with Mark, I have broken past my plateau, increased muscle mass and lowered body fat at a higher rate then I have been able to achieve on my own. Keep crushing it Mark and thank you!

Fantastic experience: Top facility, classes and staff

Fantastic experience: Getting fit and having fun. Really enjoying the group classes and the sauna

Fantastic experience: It's really big and has lots of workout machines so that u dont have to wait

Negative experience: They don’t advertise what time there membership staff are working till so I went all they there to start my membership and got told I would have to come back when they have membership staff lol

Fantastic experience: Had some questions for the front desk andy helped me up super polite and knowledgeable about any fitness or GoodLife related questions

Positive experience: Looking forward to the road construction on veterans to be finished so I can make it to this gym more conveniently. Innisfil YMCA is brutal

Fantastic experience: Very good gym, staff is very caring and respectful, when I come to good life I feel welcomed. Overall very positive atmosphere!!

Fantastic experience: My favorite gym in Barrie! The staff here are incredibly friendly and the gym is always clean. There is a great selection of equipment, especially squat racks!

Negative experience: Been coming for years and this gym still has no wifi or any club enhancements for that matter. Glad to see my $70/mo is being well used. Edited: 5 years later, finally Wi-Fi, no towel service. Same grumpy staff.

Fantastic experience: Have been coming here for almost 10 years now. Excellent, welcoming and positive staff. Clean facilities and never too busy that you can't get on a piece of equipment or squat rack. Well run Goodlife location!

Fantastic experience: This is my favourite gym! Clean, nicely maintained, pleasant , 24 hrs, massage chairs, sauna, nice change rooms , women’s only work out areas etc.

Fantastic experience: Such a warm greeting by the staff when you walk in especially Vanessa and Dorothy! Even the members are friendly. I had been a member 15 years ago but decided to rejoin because of their robust class schedule.

Fantastic experience: I have to say - this is one of THE BEST Goodlife Gyms in Canada. And what makes it even more special is it’s Absolutely AHMAZING Staff - Andy, Shakira, McKayla, John, Tammy, Chelsea are just some of them. You are welcomed into the facility like family. Big Love ❤️

Fantastic experience: Thank you to my personal trainer Jaspreet Singh. This guy is Amazing!!! My whole life has been changed both mentally and physically, because of his training. He's is gentle but sturn, l love it. Shout out to Vanessa, Shakira, Candace and Dorothy who know me by face and name and laughed at my stupid jokes. Thank you for making my visits always an enjoyable one at GL. I've very been a member of goodlife on and off for 24 years , Love this gym ️‍♀️ love you Jaspreet for making a positive change in my life with your knowledge, your patience, kindness and expertise as a dedicated loving trainer . I'm hook for life.

Positive experience: It's not a bad gym. 4/5. VERY busy at peak time (but that's gonna happen with the new year, new me people). The people who go here are all very chill and respectful. The wifi sucks. You can facebookmessages and thats it. No streaming music, etc. (But likes it's a given to NOT work at most gyms. Should be working out and not on your phone). Has everything you need for beginners to advance gym goers. Staff: Normally friendly (saying hello or good bye at the door). Washrooms/locker rooms: the lockers could use a clean. There a little dirty. Parking - ZERO parking when it's busy. (But what do you expect). They have over flow parking. But you gotta climb over a mountain of snow to get to the building cause they don't clear the side walk from parking lot to parking lot. So it sucks getting snow in your shoes and having cold/wet feet trying to go to gym. (BRING your snow boots. Lol).
