GoodLife Fitness St Catharines Bunting and Carlton

Fantastic experience: Absolutely in love with this gym! I was hesitant to join another gym that required a yearly contract after Premier Fitness left me burned but I'm very glad I did. Its a very busy gym, but the only place you see it is in the parking lot because the gym is so large, it never feels crowded - staff is always friendly and helpful!

Fantastic experience: Wow just completed 7 private workout sessions with Julia deRuiter a Level 5 Personal Training Specialist @GoodLife Fitness. Julia handled my workout sessions with elegance and professionalism far exceeding my expectations. Julia is very knowledgeable about weight training and fitness as well, she offered dietary and nutrition advice. I would recommend if anyone is considering a fitness program to check GoodLife, there are many different programs to get you started with. And ask for Julia deRuiter, you will not be disappointed. I know I am very happy to have trained with her and will take that knowledge and move forward.

Fantastic experience: I very highly recommend training sessions with Roozbeh. I’ve been working out 4 times a week for over a decade with classes, different trainers at other gyms but with this trainer at GoodLife I got more results in 5 months. A very well rounded trainer with lots of knowledge! every session is always challenging but so much fun and motivating when you see results . I love this gym , the staff are so friendly, there is lots of equipment & classes plus this gym is super clean!

Fantastic experience: Roozbeh (Rooz) is an excellent personal trainer. I managed to put on a few pounds during covid and lost a fair amount of cardio. I came to the Gym to get back into shape and used Rooz as my personal trainer to reach my goals. Rooz was the perfect mix of coach, challenger, and expert I needed. He takes your workout seriously and manages your workout as you go. I have seen significant results and am very happy with the results. Don't get me wrong, the workouts could be challenging and at times I was pushed outside of my comfort zone. But that's what you need to improve. Well worth the cost and highly recommended. Rooz constantly worked hard to make sure my work outs were challenging but manageable. Deserving of a promotion and a great representative of the brand!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for Personal Training I would highly suggest looking into booking sessions with Julia DeRuiter. Julia gives lots of knowledge all round for healthy living. She will break down and show you the best plan for results that suits your long term goals.

Fantastic experience: Great Gym , but at least send notifications to members that Gym will be closed on certain Occasion.

Fantastic experience: great gym I am a member there and I enjoy it

Fantastic experience: Great gym Staff is really nice specially the night staff kyla is very helpful and hardworking.

Fantastic experience: Unfortunately, I chose not to sign on at this gym. Too many amenities that we would not use. But...the facility is gorgeous and Carli gave me an amazing tour. She is obviously very proud of her job. I was dreading her follow up phone call but she was very professional..absolutely no pressure tactics. Thank you Carli...if my situation changes...you'll see me again.

Fantastic experience: A massive gym that just makes you want to workout and gives you that extra pump while you’re in the gym. Great equipment and great vibes! The only suggestion I would make is to get heavier dumbbells probably upto like 120 pounds. But other than absolutely love it!

Fantastic experience: Great gym. You don't see many GoodLife Fitness with this many amenities. Massive gym, massive cardio area, tons of squat racks, pool, hot tub, sauna, hot yoga, spin room! It's definitely worth mentioning. I did personal training sessions with Julia D. That girl is incredibly knowledgeable and was able to not only help me relieve some ongoing pain issues as well as take my fitness to a whole different level. I definitely hope to work with her again.

Fantastic experience: It is very clean, the staff are approachable and there is a lot of various equipment to use, has a pool and is much larger than expected inside

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Very pleased with the gym and especially the spin classes. Shout out to Sue M. who is a great instructor.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism I had a great experience signing up and get my membership set up for the first session at GoodLife. Jayvee was super helpful. He showed me the gym facilities and explained all the options for better workout results. The gym is very clean and pool is about to open in mid August Yaaay!

Fantastic experience: Place was kept clean and people able to maintain social distancing. I feel safe attending the classes. Instructors are great!

Fantastic experience: Antoine Paul. Truly an AMAZING Personal Trainer. My progress is measurable and consistent. Very Happy!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of many different gyms and GoodLife is by far the best. Great atmosphere, equipment, classes. I've left to try other gyms closer to me or deals presented to me but I would always cancel and come back to GoodLife. I did have some issues with my membership when the pandemic started and I wasn't happy and originally left a bad review about that specifically but they were able to help me and now I really want to update my review because it really proved to me that they are in fact the best gym all around. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: Signed up last night and to be completely honest, that was the best experience I’ve had at any GoodLife before. Adam was so helpful in making sure that my member suited my needs. I usually feel pressured to purchase more than I need to and GL has a rep for pushing pt sales. But nothing was pushy about this conversation. He genuinely cared about what I was asking for and listening to my needs. Thank you Adam.

Fantastic experience: I recently had a 1 weeks trial...HOLY WINSTON!! I went to an rpm class on weds night at 630ish...Holy that was the best workout I’ve had in a class in such along time. The guy and girl were amazing instructors I forget there names tho. I wanna say mindy and Juan? ‍♂️They also mentioned they do other classes hopefully I can catch a few of them. Anyways I’m definitely joining this gym after my trial expires! Also front desk staff was friendly and washrooms super clean!

Fantastic experience: my wife and I enjoy participating in the group fitness classes Body Flow and Body Pump. there are many scheduled classes so we can find ones that match our schedule. And we have also done virtual classes if we can't make a scheduled one. great instructors and music also. cheers!

Fantastic experience: I love goodlife. The facility is super clean, beautiful, tons of equipment. The staff are wonderful, everyone there is really nice. Great sense of community in there.

Fantastic experience: Just joined. Staff super friendly. Love all the options for classes, water classes and equipment. They also have a separate ladies side for working out. So you can work out on one side and your partner on the other. Also, 24hrs! Amazing! Excited to start my new journey

Fantastic experience: Many thanks to Good Life and to my certified personal trainer Brad Matthews for giving me my life back, and guiding me on the road to a healthier, happier sustainable life! Desperately seeking rescue, I joined Good Life as a stressed and overweight stroke victim with high blood pressure reaching dangerous levels. From the beginning, it was effortless to build my trust in Brad, as his very own fitness and extensive knowledge gained through continuing education, revealed his passion and dedication for fitness. During my consultation, I openly discussed my issues and feelings, and was instantly comforted by his empathy and compassion. His down-to-earth personality and excellent communication skills showed me that he understood my needs and was more than qualified to achieve my considerable goals. Brad planned and created my optimal future which was crucial to achieve the lifestyle change that would allow me to become a better and fitter version of myself. My food intake was continually monitored and individualized programs were developed from regular fitness evaluations to ensure my continual improvement. Approaching 62 years of age, I am excited to share that I owe my success to Brad and his dedication to accomplishing my considerable goals and his positive coaching and attitude in helping me get through my struggles with relative ease. Brad taught me to strive for progress and not perfection which rebuilt my self-esteem and self-confidence to perform the exercises without fear of being physically inadequate in a testosterone dominated environment and brought forth the effort needed in every workout for the transformation and change to occur. My increased flexibility and mobility has eliminated my need for a hip and knee replacement, and added muscle tone and bone strength has allowed me to dead lift 265 lbs., back squat 210 lbs., and bench press 130 lbs. I have also managed to lose 50 lbs. and keep it off, but most importantly, my blood pressure has returned to normal levels, leaving me feeling more energized with a brighter and happier outlook on life as I learned to conquer stress. I took control over the direction my life was heading when I decided to invest in my health and now I'm truly living the GOOD LIFE!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Bunting and Carlton Good Life is the best gym I've visited and worked out in. Right from the front desk, smiles greet you on your way in and always a pleasant greeting welcomes you. It's refreshing to witness so much hard work and happiness in one place. The gym is always clean, the trainers are very helpful and I have not felt intimidated in anyway, since joining. Love aquafit, such a great way to work out, the gym is huge so it's great to be able to have your own space if you want it. I love the boot camps, because you get great one on one, but also actual trainers running it, as well meet friendly members striving to get healthy and fit...I recommend this gym to everyone, there's something for everyone - just open the door and get in there!!!

Fantastic experience: I am so please to be a member here. The staff I have dealt with are incredible, they care about you, you goals and your health. I am greeted with a smile every time I enter. I find the gym to be well maintained and clean.

Fantastic experience: Love this facility. If anyone is considering personal training, Robert Coakley is the way to go. I look forward to every session we have together. He pushes me further than I would ever push myself if I were navigating the gym solo while still being aware of my physical limitations. I've gained 2 pounds of muscle in about 2 months of working with him and I feel fantastic. On top of that he's just the nicest guy ever. Get in contact with him today!!

Fantastic experience: One of the best Good Life gyms I have been to! Love that there is a pool directly in the middle that is surrounded with windows. Makes the gym feel more open and airy.

Fantastic experience: My hubs Laur and I LOVE GoodLife and we particularly love this location. The staff are friendly, the group exercise leaders are amazing, the equipment is new, the facility is clean, and there is a swimming pool too! What's not to love?

Fantastic experience: All I can say is there’s a water slide in the pool and that there’s personal washrooms. WITH SHOWERS. Incredible. Aside from that this is one of the best GoodLife locations I’ve ever been to. Exceptionally clean and well organized.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member since it opened in St.Catharines Bunting Rd . I love the Gym , the pool is very beneficial to my arthritic knees. I am very pleased that it is now fully 24 hours open. 24 / 7 days a week. Check it out , you will be pleased.

Fantastic experience: Many reviews here have commented on the variety of machines, the cleanliness of the facility and the kindness of the staff. All of this is true. However, what makes this gym amazing for me right now is the JUMP child care program. I want to give a special shout-out to Eden, the Kristines and Lucie. In fact, everyone who works with my children has been great. I started at this club when my little one was three months old and having child minding at a gym where the people are capable and caring means everything. I am so appreciative. Great gym with great people.

Fantastic experience: Love this club. Best gym I have ever joined. The staff is friendly and encouraging. I haven't once felt embarrased in a class for mistakes/not really knowing what's going on sometimes. The classes are phenomenal. I know my life is going to change for the better because of Goodlife.

Fantastic experience: Honestly this was the first gym I ever joined a few years ago and every year I change gyms again, except for this year. This year I went back to GoodLife to help me get back on track with why I change my lifestyle to begin with. All of the classes are well organized and fun, the 'circuit' machines that you loop through helped me so much in the beginning when I had never even seen weights before. All of the staff were amazing and some became my friends. I don't think I'm going to change gyms again.

Fantastic experience: I've been to plenty of Goodlife locations around Ontario, and I must say this one hits my top 3. I may even consider this my number 1! It looks brand new, but the girl at the counter told me it was about 5 years old. It's clean, no bad smells anywhere in the centre, including the men's change room. All weights and dumbbells are properly put away in numerical order, which is a surprise, compared to other locations. Men's Change Room, very clean, well kept, like i mentioned no bad smells, well built, all amenities in working condition. If your in the St Catharines area, and have a Goodlife membership, I strongly suggest you visit this location. It's one of the best in my experience.

Fantastic experience: Please arrange or install SWIMMING SUIT DRYER for locker rooms and swimming pools that is urgently require or notify us how long it take to install

Fantastic experience: A large, spacious club with tons of facilities! The staff are wonderful & friendly. They truly care about each members goals & personal experience! Would highly recommend to those serious about their fitness ☺️☺️

Fantastic experience: Favourite gym! I typically go 5-6 days a week. Friendly front staff, great and knowledgeable instructors, and the pool, sauna, and tanning are an awesome bonus! All the equipment you need really, and it's a pretty large facility! Just wish they were open 24/7.. I get the urge after 7pm on a Sunday sometimes! Also, quick dryers for swim wear would be a good addition.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. The price is a bit high but they have a pool and hot tub. They offer many classes. Staff are super friendly.

Fantastic experience: I've been there for a month. I really enjoy this location because the gym is never busy and personal trainers are great. The only areas of improvements are hot top (not the best one) and pool open time.

Fantastic experience: A bit more pricey than I'd like but definitely a much more pleasant environment than the other gym in st catharine's that I tried out. Staff is great, classes are fun, members are nice, and plenty to do for anyone who is motivated to achieve their goals.

Fantastic experience: Unlike some other reviews, I have nothing but good things to say about the employees at this location. I'm on name to name basis with most the reception people & I must say the daycare facility is really convenient and the staff are most amazing and caring & they take a real good care of my little boy while I workout. The trainers/teachers for the group classes and yoga in particular (Chad and Andrea) are dedicated to making sure you get the most from your workout. Big thanks people, I'm living the good life here, you should too.

Fantastic experience: Great, friendly and helpful staff. Love the yoga studio, nice changerooms with big infrared dry saunas. Massage chairs nice bonus after a w/o too.

Fantastic experience: This is my favourite GoodLife and I've probably been to at least 10 in Ontario. It is always clean and organized; weights and dumbbells are always in their proper spot. Even when this gym is busy, it doesn't feel that way - it's huge! The women's only area is excellent because it's fully equipped and spacious. The change rooms are huge and always clean, with lots of private shower rooms and lockers.

Fantastic experience: Parking is alway's busy BUT!! Lot's of room. Inside is huge enough to accommodate the busy Parking lot. There is a Herc's Nutrition store in plaza . And There night cleaning staff do a great job keeping it clean. Fri /Sat/Sun.... Close earlier so you don't feel obligated to work out !!!!! When we all should be PARTYING!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for a few years and really enjoyed the gym facility as well as the customer service. Today we decided to cancel the memberships as we haven't been using them, and we were blown away by the kindness of Kendall. She was the NICEST person we have ever encountered in a customer service setting. We walked out questioning our decision to cancel, she was THAT pleasant to talk to. She will be the reason we come back 100%. Thank you Kendall for being so helpful!

Fantastic experience: Just joined two days ago amazing staff the first person I meet was Kendall she welcomed me with a great personality I signed up for the personal training and my trainer Alexa is amazing I would definitely recommend this gym to everyone

Fantastic experience: Visiting from the SF Bay and here to row at Canadian Masters Henley, I went looking for a spot to get a little erging and weights time I before the races on Sunday. I found this spot. I will never forget this spot thanks to the very friendly staff at the front desk and the fantastic facility. Clean, functional, and a huge variety of equipment. Not "spa" like, but appealing to both sides in the weightlifting and fitness world; basically, plenty of racks and free weights as well as tried and proven apparatus...and then a whole bunch of ergs (rowing machines) that were really well maintained... Whooo hooo. For those not into the rowing machine, there were the rest of the cardio compliment: treadmill, bikes, stair steppers, elliptical...and I'm sure I'm forgetting some. I saw self run spin studios and I think I saw a yoga studio too The locker rooms were huge, clean, and awesome The fee was fifteen dollars Canadian... I had no issue paying that fee for the size and form the faculty was in... I think it's also 24 hr, so they have some bills to pay I'm sure. I only used it a day so there may be deals that would make that fee more palatable. Still, that fee is low compared to other parts I have needed to find a gym at, and received barely half of what I encountered at this spot. So, if you are a traveling athlete and need something more than a hotel offers... CHECK THIS SPOT OUT Cheers

Fantastic experience: I was a member for a year and thought it was too expensive so I went to World Gym... I went to world gym 3 times in three months. They had nothing that interested me so I didn't save anything. I signed back up for Goodlife but unfortunately at their new higher price. Still worth every penny! The hot yoga is my favorite class and I try to catch other classes too but I go almost every day! Totally feels like home! I also love the services they offer like the stretch therapy! Amazing! Should be called BESTlife!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with all the equipment and classes you could ask for. All of the staff have been super friendly from the second I walked in. Mike was super friendly and helpful during the tour and registration! Just signed up and I would recommend you check it out too! Great facility and everything is super clean especially the change room! 5/5

Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic gym. The price is reasonable and the child care is excellent. The girls that run the child minding really care about their jobs and the kids. The pool is great. The classes are wonderful and the instructors really love their jobs and the front desk staff are friendly and knowledgeable.
