GoodLife Fitness Orangeville Square

Negative experience: Most Goodlifes are pretty scummy imo so I'm not surprised this ones any different. I only have a membership for the sauna, for after my workouts at my real gym. So my review is more directed towards my experience with my needs. The cleaners are always working during busy peak times. Sometimes cleaning around and in the personal space of members trying to workout. One cleaner plugged his vacuum into the outlet behind a squat rack while I was in between sets. I had to wait for him to finish. No acknowledgement, no apology. Just oblivious and inconsiderate. I'm currently writing this review while the sauna is closed for cleaning. So far I've been waiting half hour. It's only 8pm, do this at night when 95% of members aren't here. I'm glad they're cleaning it because the members here throw all their garbage under the sauna bench. Classy ppl here. No staff was at the front when I got here. I got my own towel from behind the counter. Usually there's 1 staff here and lucky if they look up from their cell phone to say hi. GoodLifes are the bottom of the commercial gym food chain. Once I get a sauna in my house I'll be canceling my membership. I'm sure the cleaners are good people just doing their job but Goodlife.. you can do better.

Negative experience: Honestly I’m glad this gym is finally improving and getting better machines because it’s about time and so many people pay for memberships for this gym specifically. The problem is they keep 3 squat racks in the personal training area and only 2 for everyone to use. I know they don’t need 3 squat racks in personal training and it’s just wishful thinking. Their personal trainers are all either children or the one older lady but regardless none of them are fit enough to train others. I couldn’t believe when I saw the staff at this gym. Paying them to give you personal training would be the biggest waste of money. Also the petite light brown haired girl is a spazz for absolutely no reason and I saw snapping at the other kids working there. Very weird energy from staff. Move the squat racks so everyone can use them they’re catching dust in personal training area.

Fantastic experience: Best group fitness instructors ever: Natasha Small McBride, Ashley Sanders, Melanie McAuley, Julia Bedford. We go there to get stronger and get jn shape, we keep coming back because of the instructors and how they bring the members together and make the classes fun.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with good facilities, less crowded and clean, amazing staff and support

Fantastic experience: This facility is amazing. From the front desk reception, each class , instructors and departure everyone is friendly and considerate. It is clean and tidy, constantly being maintained. A pleasant atmosphere to workout in any day All the instructors from the management level to the daily teachers are engaging, innovated, helpful and friendly. They encourage us through gentle reminders of proper stance and position and excellent examples. Julia is doing an amazing job of keeping the facility running smoothly. Jenna has developed a couple of excellent programmes-one of beneficial stretching with proper breathing; the other a quick effective core programme that challenges our core muscles which are so essential to proper poster and wellness. Kelly has been an inspiration with her core and stretching classes that once again work very important core muscles but in a different way from Jenna’s class. This facility is an excellent example of a well run gym.

Negative experience: This isnt a reflection of this exact location however of the business in totality. I was told I cannot pay via CC for a biweekly or monthly account... I need to give them direct withdrawl access to my bank account. That is ridiculous, the only way they take credit card is on an annual basis. This is a terrible practice and is surely to deter many people from going to your gym. I sure as heck will be sharing this knowledge

Negative experience: Ok well I’ve been coming to this gym for quite some time. The staff used to be so welcoming and when you’d walk in they’d greet you and it would make you feel pumped for your workout. For probably the past 6 months or so when I come here, I have not been impressed with the reception staff. They seem on the younger side, doesn’t seem like an excuse to be impolite though. I haven’t had a single person greet me when I come into gym in a very long time. You are working in a fitness environment you are the first face people are seeing when they come into the gym, you should be positive, decent, friendly, encouraging. But I must say it’s unfortunate. You come in… they don’t make eye contact with you, almost barely acknowledge you. They are always on their phones, or joking around with other staff. I don’t actually see any of them actually really talk to gym goers. People wanna feel greeted when they come into the gym, not ignored. Do better.

Fantastic experience: This is hands down the best gym in Orangeville. The equipment is vast and variable (incline press machine is incredible). The staff are very friendly and amazing, they welcome me every workout and ask how i am, they give the impression that they genuinely care about you because of how personalized the experience is. My indoctrination into goodlife was phenomenal. My favourite employee, Eva, was a crazy good employee and i felt connected and comfortable right away by her friendly exterior and genuine interest in me. The change from other gyms is quite frankly, a stark contrast, the employees care for you, the facility is clean, and machine repairs take minimal time. I have nothing but good things to say about this gym. i've been to over 5 different commercial gyms, home gyms, recreation centres and this absolutely tops them all.

Fantastic experience: I am so happy that I decided to join this gym. I was tired of living with constant pains and limitations. Everything hurt and the more it hurt the less I wanted to and could do. I am 60 years old and a thriver of stage IV cancer. The treatments were brutal on my body. I haven't worked in 5 years due to the illness which brought daily activiy to a minimum. I do physio but it goes only so far. I was starting to get very concerned about my future. What will I be like in 5 years or more? I decided to step into this gym and I met Lauren. I explained all my concerns and limitations and especailly afraid of getting hurt. She was very kind and understanding and asked me if I was interested in a personal trainer. I can't do this alone. Its too big for me to be left alone in a gym at 60 years of age and in pain. So, I said yes. That yes has changed my life. I was introduced to Brayden. I explained everything to him. My complaints, concerns and limitations. Brayden took all that in and set up a slow, progressive program for me. I started the training program February 29, 2024 today is April 26, 2024 and I am pain free. I can go up the stairs without holding the rail. I go for long walks and I skip. I havent skipped in over 40 years. Brayden is unlike anyone I every met. He is genuinely happy to see you succeed. His knowledge and understanding of body dynamics and movement makes it possible for you to reach your goals. I am so happy I said yes.

Negative experience: Front of the house staff( reception) seems very rude. They just stand there , watch you enter and leave without any greeting . I believe they screen whoever they want to say hi and bye to and ignore others. I go here almost everyday day and their attitude doesn’t feel welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to work out and the trainers are amazing and will help you on the path that you're looking four and the staff is also amazin highly recommended

Negative experience: Ive been a Good life member from Hamilton.I moved to Orangeville and if course my fee went up cause they didn't see it as a transfer.Non the less.I pay my dues.The machines at this gym are a joke.They are so old.Broken,we have asked for Maintenance or maybe some new quality machines.It falls on deaf ears.NOTHING EVER gets done.Im sat at the leg press writing this review .Terrible quality at this gym.Not many choices to choose from out this way.

Fantastic experience: Amber and Lauren are the best what a stressful day with the alarm going off and busy for Good Friday!! Thank you guys so much! I’ll always visit GoodLife when I’m in Orangeville :)!!!

Fantastic experience: I have been with this gym for over 3 years and I cannot say enough great things about it. The classes are amazing and really helps you reach your fitness goals. I have had the pleasure to work alongside some of the most devoted gym instructors. A huge thank you to Kelly, Ashley, Mel, Julia, Natasha, Alex, and, Tracy and Jenna for all your dedication. You will also be welcomed by the most warm fun loving staff at the desk when you walk in. If you are looking for a gym, I highly recommend this one!!!

Fantastic experience: Love the Orangeville Square Gym! Very clean.! Helpful staff. Julia (manager) was very helpful and inspired me with her story that I told my daughter and she joined the club. The classes in the morning are fun. Julia’s BodyPump class on Friday mornings inspires me to work harder and I enjoy this class the most. She makes it fun.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, amazing staff, would recommend to anyone

Negative experience: When I signed up things were great. Personal trainer was great staff was great! Then I had to quit going due to unforeseen reasons. I called multiple times to stop the personal trainer plan. I was told that there was a percentage that needed to be paid out and then it would stop. A month later after my third call and I’m still paying $420 every 2 weeks. I canceled my membership late October beginning of November. The staff don’t get their messages and no one returns phone calls. Seems as though it’s just all about the all mighty dollar for them. If there was an option I would have given a zero for their review just based on customer service. Don’t sign up for the extras, and if you do make sure you read every word and be prepared to keep paying.

Fantastic experience: Kelly was so helpful and so kind in setting me up with my membership! Answered all my questions and was super friendly!!

Fantastic experience: The Group Ex experience has been off the charts lately! Instructors are leading top notch choreography with enthusiasm, professionalism and joy. No better example than BodyStep Wednesday eve, team taught by the dynamic duo Alex and Ashley. Clear instruction, options galore and the care and encouragement shown to new participants was simply fantastic. I was so proud to be a member. I hope the newbies enjoyed it as much as this oldie!

Fantastic experience: Tracey is amazing in the RPM class, her energy and motivation keeps me coming. Love Ashley in pump and core, her knowledge and care for the members is incomparable. Great gym!

Fantastic experience: Brayden is not just a personal trainer; he's a transformative force in the fitness world. From day one, his dedication to my well-being was evident. Not only did he tailor my workouts to suit my goals, but he also took the time to understand my chronic injuries, making specialized routines that improved my physique and alleviated my discomfort. Under Brayden's guidance and deep knowledge of anatomy and exercise he ensured that every session was not only effective but also safe. Beyond his technical expertise, Brayden's genuine care and encouragement have been instrumental in my journey. His unwavering support and positive attitude have motivated me to push through obstacles and surpass my own expectations. If you're looking for a personal trainer who goes above and beyond, look no further than Brayden. His commitment to his clients' success is unmatched, and I can't recommend him highly enough. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: I returned to Good Life the end of 2022, after a very difficult year. I started personal training to help get myself back on track. I was fortunate to have been paired with Brayden and we have trained together for over a year now. He has created workout and nutrition plans for me to follow. Brayden encourages me and celebrates my successes. He continues to push me, and he is an integral part my fitness journey. I am grateful for the impact he has made in my life. I am very happy wth the progress we have made together and I look forward to future success.

Negative experience: $1000 to stop personal training. Absolutely insane. No care about personal situations, just an outrageous money grab. I understand a cancellation fees but $1000?!

Fantastic experience: The classes are fun.

Fantastic experience: I’m new to Wednesday mornings with Jenna and I’m loving every minute of it!!!

Fantastic experience: My personal trainer, Kyler, has been great. He listens to my input and knows how far to push me. I highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Es un gimnasio muy completo y el personal de pura calidad me gusta

Fantastic experience: Great customer service !

Fantastic experience: Fabulous facility and staff.

Negative experience: Why are you flagging negetive comments? You needs to change the front desk people not to flag rhe comments

Fantastic experience: Body combat class is absolutely amazing! Very clean space!

Fantastic experience: The best gym in town, great staff and friendly people, great assortment of equipment to get a great work out in

Fantastic experience: My favourite hangout when I’m too tired after work…sauna is my top notch❤️

Fantastic experience: GoodLife fitness has to be the best spot to workout at. From the cleanliness to the friendly front staff such as Andraya and Jess, what a beautiful and friendly spot to workout at!

Fantastic experience: I have had nothing but positive experiences at GL Orangeville. The General Manager Francesca is a very positive and approachable person and that definitely has cascaded to the staff (Andrea, Matthew and Tanner) that I have interactions with since joining GL. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic experience: That's Good, Life Fitness was very good experience. trainer asked me if you wanna to join, the team will work out together. And basically she was very nice and open. good person. As I feel like I was welcome there. Also. The gym is very clean. Good Life Fitness is very clean. stuff nice everyone was nice .happy Halloween

Fantastic experience: I stopped by this gym the other week, while staying overnight in Orangeville for a work trip and I couldn't believe my eyes on how clean and organized it was. All of the staff were super friendly and welcoming, especially the Assistant General Manager Kelly. She recommended some workouts to try out and gave me tips to a healthier lifestyle. I will definitely be coming here again!

Fantastic experience: For 3 months while I was attending school at Ontario Fire Academy, I also used this amazing gym to keep in shape. Andraya was very professional when helping me set up a membership, and was able to accommodate a plan for the short amount of time that I was in town, which no other gyms in the area was willing to do! She even gave me tips to help improve my workouts. Would highly recommend going here!

Fantastic experience: I've been to several good life's, but I am particularly happy about this location. The staff is always kind and courteous, and always greet with a warm smile. I would like to specifically thank Andraya for always offering a warm welcome and answering any questions I may have. I wish every goodlife had staff members like her.

Fantastic experience: Gym is great. People complaining about the front desk people - it's a gym - you go there to work out, not make judgements about the people working there. It's almost 2023, show me any company that has good customer service nowadays. It's got great equipment and lots of it... THAT'S WHY YOU GO THERE, not for the staff.

Positive experience: Very clean, staff is nice, but they’ve had the same equipment for ages. I started training here in 2009 and nothing has changed. Definitely due for upgrades.

Fantastic experience: Plenty of space, machines. Helpful staff.

Positive experience: great staff .. great gym

Negative experience: Worst service ever.Lack of knowledge.Customer service is worst here at this location.They are here just to make people fool.I wish I could give them 0 stars.

Fantastic experience: It's a big building and almost we find all the equipments over there.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Clean and friendly staff. Tanner is an amazing personal trainer.

Positive experience: I could give them 5 stars if weekends open longer hours. People finally have time to go to gym at weekends, but they have really really short hours available. Pity!!!

Fantastic experience: One of the better goodlifes out in this area for sure! The size of this gyn is good, plenty of machines and dumbells. Not too many people come by so it's not usually busy!

Positive experience: Have been going to this gym for more than 12 years now. Staff are friendly and nice clean facility. Only complaint is that they are no opened on stat holidays ever since Covid started.I know a lot of people still want to work out those days so it’s a shame. Hopefully, they will go back to opening on stat holidays cause I know most Goodlifes are.

Fantastic experience: Clean and well stoked

Fantastic experience: It started raining all of sudden, thankful to the gym who let us sit inside because of cold. Amazing customer service.

Fantastic experience: It's a big building and almost we find all the equipments over there.

Fantastic experience: It's a great gym. Love their studio classes. The equipment is always clean as are the locker rooms. They also have Sauna and shower rooms and person training available. And it remains open 24 hours most days a week. Definitely check it out.

Fantastic experience: Staff are super helpful Great location and very clean would recommend for sure

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Clean and friendly staff. Tanner is an amazing personal trainer.

Fantastic experience: Great space and layout. Always clean and super friendly staff. My favourite GoodLife location hands down between Orangeville and the GTA. If you happen to be up this way, worth stopping in for a workout.

Fantastic experience: Excellent location with very friendly and polite staff.

Fantastic experience: Awesome sign up experience!

Negative experience: Have literally lost hundreds of dollars in nsf due to a problem with them not being able to take money out of my account. I have paid close to an extra $75 on every payment for months and have complained and tried to set up other payment methods. I personally wouldn't even risk going through this b.s. would give zero stars if it were possible!

Fantastic experience: A big thank you to all the staff at the Orangeville Goodlife! On any given day, they keep the gym clean and organized, but their efforts to maintain a safe, healthy and positive environment for their members during this difficult year really stands out as going above and beyond what I would have expected. Prior to Covid restrictions, I routinely worked out at multiple locations, and Orangeville has always impressed me the most with their dedication to both the facility and their members. Everything they are doing is greatly appreciated.

Fantastic experience: Staff is awesome. They routinely check on the gym to see if it needs to be tidied up. Very energetic and welcoming. Special shoutout to Mike who’s always kept a smile and an amazing attitude even during these covid times!

Fantastic experience: Orangeville GoodLife is doing a great job keeping everyone safe during these unprecedented times, and still delivering a great workout experience. Ashley led a fantastic class, as she always does. My legs were jello after 20 minutes of BodyPump! And Mike at the front desk is so great, makes a point of learning everyone's names and fitness habits. Keep it up O'ville!

Fantastic experience: Awsome friendly staff and environment.. love dis place

Fantastic experience: Well equipped gym lots of parking. Staff are top notch ! Covid response has been excellent, keep up the great work.

Fantastic experience: This location in Orangeville is doing very well with handling Covid precautions!! Friendly staff

Fantastic experience: I have been in the fitness and wellness industry for over 30 years and I have High standards! I teach In the field in a post-secondary institution and have my own coaching clients. I want to CONGRATULATE the staff at the Orangeville Square GoodLife. The front desk and cleaning crew led by Maria, Sarah and Chara is unrivalled! The staff is organized, friendly and really helpful during these challenging times. Pre-Covid I was not very impressed with some of the trainers. Using their phones on the gym floor, allowing poor form, not paying attention to detail - but those individuals are no longer there. The Team that is there now are extremely conscientious, consistently professional, friendly, and know their stuff. Spending an hour of my day there is always a highlight.

Fantastic experience: Just like this plaza

Fantastic experience: On multiple occasions I've ask for assistance in regards to issues to with my account and booking my workout slots, Sarah has gone out of her way to help solve all the issues. Thank you Sarah for all the amazing help!

Positive experience: They are stingy with their towels, you almost have to argue for a second one. They have a ironing board, but no iron. When I asked about the iron they laughed it off. Equipment is dated, probably one of the poorest GoodLifes out there.

Positive experience: Goodlife need to learn from other GYM chains. Their price still considered neighbourhood GYM, very expensive without giving a service that justfies the price

Negative experience: Terrible experience. The managers don't respond to emails. The GM is completely detached. They're ostriches; any criticism or concerns and they bury their faces in the dirt. Zero customer service from leadership. Once they get your money....

Negative experience: Today i had a very disappointing visit. Denied access on unreasonable grounds. E.i. You got your membership on Brampton. Therefore, you can't come in. You got to be kidding me* Even if i am healthy? Lmao, meanwhile i have access to other business, shopping centers, grocery stores and bars in orangeville. A bunch of boloney... the inconsistencies and discrepancies are ridiculous. We can not pretend to cover the sun with one finger by cherry picking. What happens if you have an all access membership? Should we register for an all acess membership in every town, municipality, city and province? * Your all access membership is false advertisement.

Positive experience: I've been to many Goodlife gyms and this one is pretty good for a small town like Orangeville. My only negative is the lack of machines. The free weights and cardio areas are fine but there needs to be more machines that do the same thing because there are times where I am waiting to do a specific workout. I've even had people wait on me and that makes things uncomfortable, being watched by strangers while you workout.

Positive experience: I was matched with a personal trainer based on like 3 minutes of conversation, that personal trainer became one of my best friends. I love the staff, they're all friendly. I love some of the other patrons, we all encourage each other. Biggest con about GoodLife: I have no idea how much I pay. It's not written anywhere. ANYWHERE!

Fantastic experience: Usually come here pretty late so I have the gym to myself. Decent equipment and has a working sauna.. lol The staff members I met were friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best GoodLife locations I've ever been in - huge facility, new-ish equipment (nothing ever broken), clean (change-rooms especially) and a lot of friendly staff on-hand should you need anything. 5/5

Fantastic experience: Nice place

Fantastic experience: I am a Goodlife employee and so as such I have the privilege to go and workout in almost any Goodlife across Canada. I have been to Goodlife's in B.C, downtown Toronto, Ottawa and every Goodlife in Brampton. Orangeville by far is my favorite Goodlife. A very clean gym with friendly and professional staff and loaded with some of the top trainers in the company! Every time I go there I find the quality of my workouts are so great that I never want to leave! Members have a deep rooted respect for the gym and dont leave their equipment scattered around. An amazing place overall and quite honestly I find plenty of other Goodlife's can take lessons from Orangeville Goodlife.

Fantastic experience: Soooo spacious

Fantastic experience: A1

Positive experience: Nice facility, clean. Not too too busy.

Positive experience: Mid sized facility. Excellant personal trainers

Positive experience: Pretty large size fitness center.

Negative experience: Very disappointed in good life, been paid member since 2015 and I tried to transfer to orangeville location and seemed no loyalty and even thou I have been paying for 3 months to keep it on hold, I was told I would have to pay 179 joining fee... on the look out for new gym

Positive experience: Nice clean gym. They have everything from classes to massage chairs to sun tanning. Some of the weight equipment is old. Excellent customer service.

Positive experience: Awesome location, good atmosphere most of the time, & the staff are very helpful & friendly (except one guy, forget his name but i think he's Asian, working afternoons at the front desk & seems unfriendly/judgemental) but other than that definately recommended! Oh & just a heads up it gets very crowded on Monday & Tuesday evenings!

Negative experience: I have been going here for years, and have enjoyed the staff and facility. However the centre continuously rents out the studio for various private meetings, classes and training. I work off hours, so when I come here there are no instructed classes to attend. Goodlife offers virtual fitness which i thought was perfect for my schedule. I rarely get to use it! I'm so disappointed and at my breaking point today. Today marks the 8th day in the last 2 weeks I have been here and there is someone who has booked the space. This space should be available for the guests that pay for this facility with their membership fees. NOT goodlife trying to make an extra buck by renting it out all the time.

Fantastic experience: The staff at this location are amazing! They always make me feel welcome and it’s a really great environment! My experience with training as changed my whole outlook on fitness and how I don’t need to be frightened of the gym thanks to my trainer Madison H :)

Positive experience: Joined about 2 months a go, this location is not too bad. The staff is very friendly, except for "the towel na*i " who is at the door on weekend mornings. Besides her, all of the staff specifically reach out to talk and help. The place is very clean, both the gym area and the change rooms/shower area. The gym members always seem to wipe down what they are using afterwards, and I see a cleaner specifically cleaning every piece of equipment, on a regular basis. The gym is divided into two specific areas, the aerobic machine area, and the weights area. The aerobic area has your standard, rowing machines, elliptical machines, treadmills, StairMaster and a few others that I have not used. Each machine faces either a bank of TV monitors and you may plug in your earphones to listen to the TV, or if they're facing in the opposite direction, they have a monitor built right into them. The weights area is broken into three separate areas. They have your standard weight machines, they have a large free weight area and they have two Banks of quick weight machines designed for a quick 20-minute workout. They also have a large room where they have various classes running non-stop on weekday mornings, they have a spin class room and then they have an area roped off for personal training area. You get one free hour with a personal trainer when you join, but you also may book personal trainers at your leisure. Some of the extras include a few tanning areas, both beds and stand up, three massage chairs that are very nice, and a dry sauna in the change room. The only thing that I think they're missing is a hot tub and a pool would be nice too. The membership prices are a little on the steep side, however, they have various deals going on every month so if you catch the right deal at the right time, it balances out the price to make it more reasonable. This is not the best gym that I've been to, it's not the worst gym that I've been to, but I'm quite happy that I signed up and would do it again.

Fantastic experience: Amazing atmosphere. I like to go in the night because it's less crowded.

Fantastic experience: Staff is helpful and friendly. Best workout environment.

Fantastic experience: Good workouts, great staff and private trainers.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Goodlife Orangeville. The facility is clean and there is lots of equipment to choose from. I have never had to wait for a treadmill, elliptical or bike to be available in my 5 years going there. There are a wide variety of group fitness classes with friendly, welcoming, highly motivational instructors. The group fitness classes, instructors and members are so fantastic I actually look forward to working out!! Worth every penny I spend on the membership.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym. Nice layout and staff has always been very cool.

Fantastic experience: The staff at this location are amazing! They always make me feel welcome and it’s a really great environment! My experience with training as changed my whole outlook on fitness and how I don’t need to be frightened of the gym thanks to my trainer Madison H :)

Fantastic experience: I joined GoodLife Orangeville about 5 months ago and attend group fitness about 7 times per week. I absolutely love the instructors and members. The energy is amazing and I am so motivated by them. Thank you to Melanie, Natasha, Natalie and Kristen. They have helped me in the last few months to keep going and I am having so much fun along the way.

Fantastic experience: This is my gym and my trainer Kole Farmer is so knowledgeable. Thanks for helping me reach my goals

Fantastic experience: A1

Fantastic experience: Love the vibe at this gym! Great staff, fabulous fun class participants! Instructors.... Ashley, Natasha, Melanie, Abby and so many more..... encourage enthusiasm for an excellent workout!
