GoodLife Fitness Calgary Country Village and Harvest Hills For Women

Negative experience: I enjoy being a member of this gym, but I need to raise some ongoing concerns. The elevator has been out of service for several months, which creates inconvenience when leaving the facility since you have to walk through all of superstore to find the exit. In addition, the sauna has been turned off for the past week without explanation. Could you please confirm when both the elevator and sauna will be restored? These amenities are important to the overall gym experience. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Feels very comfortable here. Nice staff and equipment. Only feedback would be more classes during the day. Also price is more then other places but like the women’s only part

Fantastic experience: justinne is wonderful, she made the workout fun and easy for me. I have learned a lot from her.

Fantastic experience: Been going here for a year and it’s amazing. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Right from the start, I felt welcomed—and within minutes, all my nerves disappeared. I don’t know why I was so nervous about joining a new gym, especially starting a class I had never tried before, but the staff completely put me at ease. I was first greeted by Sarah, who had a bright smile and was genuinely happy to help. She gave me a tour of the gym and made me feel comfortable right away. The manager, Ashley, was just as incredible—super friendly, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. She reassured me that every team member there is not only professional but also truly cares about creating a supportive environment. Then came the highlight—Maria, the instructor of my new class. She’s an absolute powerhouse! Maria wasn’t just motivating—she was right there beside us, doing the exercises, guiding us through proper form, and making sure we understood what muscles we should be feeling. Her energy was contagious, and seeing her push herself made me want to push myself too. I loved the whole experience. Maria is a total star, and the whole team made me feel like I belong.

Fantastic experience: Everything is great ,just need some time adjustment .kindly review ur timings .Extend your close timings please esp during weekend .

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this gym for quite a few weeks now. The environment here is so encouraging, and everyone is really helpful and welcoming. Above all, I would like to thank and recommend my trainer, Justinne. She has been incredible with me! Always pushing me hard enough to get to my goals, and celebrating all my small and big wins to keep me motivated. It is always fun to be with her. The smile, fun, energy, and enthusiasm that she brings along are really commendable. One thing I like about her is that she actively listens to all my issues and helps to find solutions if the former activity is supremely hard or not effectively working for me due to my problem areas. She will help you find a solution and come up with the most effective plan, even if you have any limitations. I have been learning a lot from all my sessions, so if you are not sure about this, like I was, this is a good time to jump in!

Negative experience: This gym is absolutely terrible. The equipment is so old and outdated, it feels like you’re stepping into a rundown gym in a third-world country. The environment is dead and depressing — no energy, no vibe, nothing. I can’t believe a place like this even carries the GoodLife name. Total waste of money and time. Avoid it if you actually care about your workouts or your mood.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful clean gym the staff are so friendly. My personal trainer Michelle is amazing. She knows just how to push me and meet my fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: The goodlife fitness is great. It is close to my home and the staff are kind and welcoming. I recently transferred trainers to Michelle and she is amazing. She is kind and knowledgeable in nutrition and muscle building that helps me reach my goals.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend their trainer, Michelle, enough! From the very first session, she has been nothing short of amazing. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition, but she also creates a personalized training plan that truly fits my needs and goals. She has been so encouraging and even celebrates my achievements when I hit milestones, making me feel strong and motivated after every session. What really sets Michelle apart is her ability to keep me engaged and excited about reaching my goals. She is always supportive and positive and pushes me just enough to see real progress without me ever feeling overwhelmed or like walking away. I’ve made incredible strides in strength and endurance. I even feel more confident and energized than ever before! If you're looking for a trainer who truly cares about your success and will work with you every step of the way, Michelle is the one to go to.

Fantastic experience: I love Country Village gym. The classes and instructors are amazing! The manager and front desk staff are friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Overall, the vibe here is amazing—energetic but not intimidating, and it feels like a true fitness community. Highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym so much! From the moment you walk through the door you are greated with a smile. The staff are friendly and genuinely interested in how you're doing. They know you. It's a women's only club and there's a huge power in that! I always feel welcome. The group fitness is always on FIRE! There are women of all ages, all ethnicities, all levels of fitness and they're all rooting for you. If you are thinking of joining a gym but are intimidated by the thought of it, this is the gym for you. So many people will help you, without hesitation Because they've been there. They know what it's like. It's an amazing community. It's more than fitness. It's overall wellness. If you want to feel better, mind body soul... This is your place.

Fantastic experience: Love this GoodLife location! The staff are all super friendly, and it’s typically not too busy, even the weekday evenings for the “after work” crowd.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym ever, great classes and the instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful! I really enjoyed every moment!

Fantastic experience: I love the Women's GoodLife at Country Village. The GoodLife staff are friendly and helpful. And of course the instructors there are Amazing! Maria's Combat class is the Best!! Such a great community of women! Let's go Country Village!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to the Country Hills location for many years. The staff is friendly, the facility is well maintained and the class instructors are fantastic. It’s a very motivating atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Great facility! I always feel comfortable working out here. Staff are friendly and helpful!!

Fantastic experience: I honestly love this gym, the staff is amazing and it’s always nice and clean.

Positive experience: I enjoy attending fitness classes especially with Sarah and Jodie at the Harvest Hills location

Fantastic experience: I love this gym it’s so great, the women here are so friendly!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at GoodLife Calgary Country Village for more than 15 years. It's always been a great gym, but since Ashley started managing, it's even better. Staff are friendly, plenty of class options and facility is always clean and tidy. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic experience: This is a great location! The atmosphere is very positive and the staff are friendly. Looking forward to many more sessions here. I encourage you to try if you are looking for a new gym to call home!

Fantastic experience: I teach yoga here and I absolutely love it because of the staff and members that I interact with. They are a special group to me, like no other place that I teach at. They are kind, caring and so very open to trying new and different things. I also work out here and enjoy the atmosphere, the equipment and the friendliness of the members. Everyone is so welcoming here and I am truly honoured to be a part of the team. Come join us!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this gym for 4-5 years now and I really like the facility. It’s really well-maintained and the staff are friendly. I have had really great experiences with Tanu and PT Hamna. The only thing I would like changed is better weekend hours (instead of 8-4, maybe 8-8).

Fantastic experience: I just love going to Goodlife fitness calgary country village location. Staff are awesome and very welcoming. The location is always clean. I'm taking person training sessions with Sheri,she's an awesome trainer and very positive and humble human being. I really recommend coming here.❤️

Fantastic experience: All the staff and trainers are awesome, always will to help…Ashley the Manager is fantastic!

Negative experience: Only for women

Negative experience: This is the most convenient location for me. Yet its for women only! This is seriously sex discrimination, what century is this? What about equal opportunity for men and women?

Negative experience: i am a man

Fantastic experience: At my old gym, I experienced an incident that made me so uncomfortable as a woman who has been followed by a stranger (for a long time). I watched “The Gift of Fear Master Class” on YouTube so many times, dreading going back to the old gym I already paid for. I eventually decided to switch to this Women Only gym. Even though it costs me more and takes me longer to get here, it’s worth it for my mental health and for reducing my anxiety. Been going here for a while now. No issues. I feel safe and so comfortable. Really happy a gym like this exists. The ladies at the front desk are friendly and helpful too: they showed me how to use the equipment when I asked and they greet us at the entrance (very welcoming environment). There are weekly group classes too: my first class, I was struggling to keep up, and everyone was so encouraging. I never feel intimidated to go the weight section (felt like this at previous gyms). Overall, because I feel safe, not judged, and very comfortable, I no longer dread going to the gym. And because I no longer dread going to the gym, I have been going more often. This is good for my fitness goals. Love it here. Thanks to whoever created this Women Only gym. To the staff, trainers, and members, thanks for creating a safe space.

Positive experience: I’m giving it 3 stars because it’s only open until 9pm compared to the other GoodLife Fitness locations. I forgot that this location closes at 9pm. A worker was checking the washroom and saw me still changing. When I got out of the change rooms which was at 9pm, the two workers were leaving already almost locking me in. Good thing they looked back and saw me. One of them with blonde hair was somewhat nice about the situation but her coworker was giving me dirty looks. I came in early the next day at 5:30pm and the one that gave me dirty looks last night was STILL giving me dirty looks. Hoping that the times for this location will change. I am very happy with most of the staff as they were friendly except for that one individual.

Positive experience: I love going to all Gl locations. But always wondered why they don't offer towel service at this location.

Positive experience: It was superb

Positive experience: It’s a nice little gym. I’m only giving it 3 stars though because the hours aren’t very good. To only be open until 4 pm on Saturday and Sunday is ridiculous and inconvenient for anyone who has to work. The gym should at least have the same hours as the Superstore it’s locate in (7am-10pm).

Fantastic experience: This gym is a comfortable workout environment and the staff are awesome . I recommend coming here . I will continue my workout journey at the women's goodlife . Thanks

Positive experience: It was superb

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this gym off and on for almost 2 years. This gym is very cleaned and well maintained with lots of great equipment. I also loved the studio and the ability to have access to do my own zumba and dance workout. The staff, knowledgeable, friendly and polite and the manager is a complete gem and total asset to Goodlife. I highly recommend this ladies gym and have been very happy with my health progress.

Fantastic experience: Great people, great equipment, great atmosphere

Negative experience: Front desk workers are friendly and helpful. Their personal trainers are not. Ive had a few run unpleasant run ins with a couple of them while minding my own business, and safe to say they’ve lost me and several others in my family as a client. Gym is small and has limited equipment, but ok if you’re not looking for too much. There’s also no windows and it’s a closed space, so it smells quite musty.

Negative experience: UPDATE: it's now been at least 4 times since this review that the gym is not open on time, over 30 mins today, to the point where I had to come back to get my wife, which is just a waste of time for those who plan to come to get their workout done and accommodate for this. There were several people impacted by this. My wife came here October 6th. Was 7:20 and they still weren't open with no signs or any notice.

Negative experience: Please have respect for people’s time and open during your stated hours in a punctual manner. If you can’t come on time to open the gym, don’t be scheduled opening shift. It’s extremely frustrating for those who plan/work in the mornings.

Negative experience: Poor customer service

Fantastic experience: Great place

Fantastic experience: Best place fr women.. awsome staff... plus classes are super awsome.. great imstructors.. love this place...

Negative experience: Called to get some info, receptionist rudely hung up.

Fantastic experience: Been a member for some time now, Sarah provides exceptional service every single time.

Fantastic experience: The staff and the patrons were so kind!! I'm so excited to go back!

Negative experience: Extremely rude staff!!!! didn’t feel like working out in such a bad environment..!!!!!!!!! I wish I can give 0 star. Please someone teach them good customer service.

Negative experience: Horrible gym environment. Going to a gym should be a place where you feel comfortable to workout. I was in the middle of working out when I heard one of your personal trainers (Hamna) talking about me with her client on the way I workout. You have signs that say be yourself but how can you do that when your employees judge you.

Fantastic experience: The most amazing gym!! I love going here because it hasn't just been a gym but the staff have become friends. They always say hi when I come in and I always have amazing conversations with all of them. I feel guilty when I don't go to the gym because I don't get to see their amazing smiling faces!!

Negative experience: The bathrooms are always dirty and often out of soap. The showers look like they never get cleaned. The staff rarely says hello or goodbye and are often seen gossiping together behind the front desk. When I signed up 5 years ago I was told that when I signed a no commitment membership I could cancel anytime and would not get charged. I went in to cancel and the staff member was very rude once they found out I was cancelling. I was also told I would be charged for the next 2 week cycle even though I was told differently when I signed up. I was going to switch to a different GoodLife location and sign a membership at that gym (since I only had access to this gym) but after this experience I will never use or recommend a good life gym again.

Negative experience: The air conditioning by the cardio barely/never works. It gets way too hot and which makes it difficult to workout. It’s always so hot in there…

Fantastic experience: awesome, supportive staff that make you feel right at home and welcome. always clean and tidy too!

Negative experience: I changed my location just because of the staff .. staff is really very rude and they don’t even like say hi or by to anyone.. really bad experience so disappointed with the staff

Fantastic experience: Started using this gym couple months back. Very convenient and close to my home. Enjoy the classes they offer. Equipment is good and abundant, never have to wait for machines to use them. Staff is friendly. Usually kept very neat and tidy

Fantastic experience: Today was my first time at this location and I could not recommend it more!! They have every piece of equipment you could ask for. Liz & Natalie were both so amazing from the moment I came in. They made me feel right at home! I will definitely be making this my regular gym location going forward!

Positive experience: Small space, lacks quite a lot of machines however for the size of the gym they chose decent ones. Staff is friendly for the most part but could use improvement. I couldn't figure out how to start one of the ellipticals so I asked a staff member and she couldn't figure it out either, she just laughed, said sorry and went about her day. I wish she would have asked another co-worker for me or looked it up. She could have found a solution for me rather than just walking away.

Fantastic experience: Ladies here are so fantastic and i love the atmosphere to workout! Everyone is so sweet, especially the staff! Overall a fantastic environment and a perfect place to workout for all girls! Glad that i choose this gym!

Fantastic experience: Small but nice and good classes

Fantastic experience: Love this place, always have because the staff there is so nice and helpful. I dealt with these girls named Alex and Liana today and they were amazing. They did everything I needed quick and efficiently.

Fantastic experience: The staff and atmosphere are great!

Fantastic experience: There are a perfect personal trainer, her name isJustinne. She is really amazing ! Kind, lovely, motivated and supportive!! She really have good knowledge and understanding of the client needs!! I am grateful that I met her! I like the privacy as the location is for only women.

Negative experience: The staff here are rude and obnoxious to deal with. I am canceling my membership at GoodLife because of the poor customer service I have received throughout the pandemic. I have been a member of GoodLife for over 10 years and this gym specifically is the worst. They also assume women don’t bench press as there are none in this gym. I wouldn’t recommend this gym to anyone

Fantastic experience: Ladies here are fantastic. They always do their best sanitizing and sterilizing the equipment routinely. Great place to workout and not be bothered (in a positive way) while you’re focusing on yourself!

Fantastic experience: Best place for healthy exercice

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff and love that it’s not packed all the time. The atmosphere to workout is awesome

Fantastic experience: Clean gym and well maintained equipment. The staff here are also very friendly and do not hesitate to help. Love this location!

Fantastic experience: Was struggling to get back into fitness after a couple years of never working out and gaining weight. The staff at this gym helped turn my anxiety and shame into excitement and hope. The energy at this gym is really positive and motivating. Good vibes

Fantastic experience: The best ever

Fantastic experience: Ladies here are fantastic. They always do their best sanitizing and sterilizing the equipment routinely. Great place to workout and not be bothered (in a positive way) while you’re focusing on yourself!

Fantastic experience: Great gym & girls are very welcoming and friendly

Fantastic experience: What made this location so welcoming was their staff. They're always greeting you at the door and wishing you a good workout. Whenever I have a workout related question, someone is always ready to help. The location is always clean with the dumbbells in it's appropriate spot.

Fantastic experience: Really appreciate that staff once they have completed the between workout cleaning they open the doors for the next group..allows me to do treadmill plus complete circuit of machines....thx and

Positive experience: Love the renos.....don't like the weekend hours being cut!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication What made this location so welcoming was their staff. They're always greeting you at the door and wishing you a good workout. Whenever I have a workout related question, someone is always ready to help. The location is always clean with the dumbbells in it's appropriate spot.

Positive experience: I’ve been going to the Huntington gym location for almost a year until they just closed. I was really upset about having to get use to another gym but I have been pleasantly surprised with this gym. They welcomed me and my daughter with a smile and have been great. I’ve been enjoying the equipment they have that mine didn’t and really love that they have a separate workout room with its own equipment as well as the group fitness room. I like that they have lots of dumbbells throughout the gym, several weight benches, and two cable machines with ample attachments as well. The only negative I’d have to say is that the group fitness room is directly over the superstore bakery downstairs which I’m assuming is the reason why it always smells like soggy bread after a class. Other than that it’s been a great experience so far.

Negative experience: we ask for 24h 7d

Negative experience: awful staff that cause useless drama . was going to this gym for a year till a few weeks ago id go and mind my own business no idea why the one staff member Beth would have such a problem with me but whatever ..... theirs other gyms

Positive experience: Switched to this gym from Beacon Hill. Much better! You have the space to work out, the staff and other members are lovely and easy to be around. There is tanning options, as well as what sounds like a high energy class! They just underwent some Reno's, and it feels much better in the space. I do hope at some point the change rooms/bath room gets a face lift too though!

Positive experience: Really nice staff and nice facilities!

Positive experience: They only have smith machine. No squat rack. What about girls who like to lift?

Fantastic experience: I love coming to this location on my gym days. It is spacious and staff is super friendly. They have all the machines that you need and a nice squat rack. This location also has enough number of cardio machine. It can get busy but you always have enough space to work out.

Positive experience: They only have smith machine. No squat rack. What about girls who like to lift?

Fantastic experience: Generally well stock gym for a such a tight space above Superstore. One smith machine, one squat rack, one cable machine plus fixed barbell rack with a whole slew of other machines. This is only a 5 min drive from my place and I found most people are courteous with wiping down machines and not taking up the machines unnecessarily (ie checking their phone more than working out); I like coming here for a quick workout. THEY DO HAVE SHOWERS, they are behind the undisclosed grey doors on the right.

Positive experience: Very small, friendly staff. Not the best looking but right on top of superstore so you can easily access healthy food. THEY DO NOT PROVIDE TOWELS, so bring your own

Fantastic experience: Been here before. Basic and nice. I like how I can shop for groceries after and get a healthy snack. If this gym was coed- there would be too much traffic for the size of this gym.

Negative experience: Switched over to this Goodlife when I moved to Coventry and the gym is so tiny and the equipment is limited. I found the staff to be rude and the change room not the cleanliest.

Positive experience: My review is a little late though. I had been a member of this particular location way back in 2014. The staff was really friendly and the trainer was very helpful. But i felt like the equipments were packed close together.. I hope they are more spread out now.

Positive experience: Only negative is they sing have a bench press set up besides the Smith machine. Otherwise great!

Negative experience: I'm not very impressed with washrooms not being clean. Especially the showers! You can tell they don't clean daily since the is OFTEN no soap in the dispenser. There are 6 showers, 1 has no shower curtain, one has no soap, one doesn't work at all! You can buy a shower curtain right below Superstore. I complained directly to GoodLife and it got better for maybe a week, the washroom are as durty as before. The machine are often broken. If I didn't have a personal trainer there I would not go back. Now my contact is finally over i can go to other GoodLife locations. Also, not to mention this disgusting smell in the morning it smell like rotten eggs! It's very sad because the trainner are amazing and they are loosing customers like me for lack of hygiene in this location.

Fantastic experience: Very nice staff who actually want to help you reach your goals!

Fantastic experience: Great staff! Was worried about being judged, but after just once visit my fear was over! Now I love going and interacting was staff.
