GoodLife Fitness Whitby Centrum

Fantastic experience: Very nice facility. I feel I lucked out joining this gym. I have since read many horror stories about different gyms online. I guess it really depends which location you go to. I am not a gym rat and have not used many other gyms but this gym is pretty clean and well organized and my standard is pretty high. Love the Zumba teacher Shonna. Her energy is contagious. Swimming pool is nice and warm. It also has a huge whirl pool. Staff are all very friendly and there are always plenty of fresh towels if you do get towel service. Hope the manager and staff here keep up the good work and keep it the nicest gym in the area.

Fantastic experience: I hold membership with Good life fitness in this branch and they have many amenities. Swimming Pool, Lockers, shower, washroom, steam bath, Hot tub, Group session, Basketball court. Apart from that regular equipments for a gym. Located at very good place.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, positive vibe, spacious facility, incredible equipment selection, excellent amenities

Fantastic experience: Great facility and friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Very clean and nice assortment of machine. I’ve been coming here for the last 3 months and it is much better than the other locations i’ve been to.

Fantastic experience: This gym is amazing! From the atmosphere, the cleanliness, to everyone following all of the health protocols , to the staff. It is all around amazing.

Fantastic experience: Has lots of everything for working out including a pool. Open all the time. (Even better hours than the municipal fitness club I go to). Free towel service. Nice staff. Easy to park.

Fantastic experience: Going to the gym has been a part of my life for 30+ years. I've belonged to many different clubs where I have resided in Canada and USA and have been a GLF member for 10+ years. I really like GLF and have become friends with many instructors, trainers and fellow members. I was very relieved when the gyms reopened as I am an extrovert and do not enjoy working out at home. I live in Whitby so have frequented many clubs in the Durham Region during my tenure with GLF, including Whitby Centrum, Oshawa Centre, Whitby Women's, Ajax Harwood Coed, Rossland/Salem and Westney. I was a regular Body Pump attendee until some surgeries prevented me from continuing certain exercises. I enjoy Body Flow and like spinning (although I'm not a fan of the RPM music - lol). I also thoroughly enjoy Cardio Dance and Zumba classes. I was certified to teach group fitness and spinning several years ago so I am perhaps pickier than most regarding instructors, choreography and music - and GLF's are topnotch. Since covid, I have preferred to workout closer to home and limit outings in general. Whitby Centrum is my preferred location and I try to work out 4-5 times/week. I am writing to acknowledge how well-run Cory and his team manage this club. I like the friendly M-F front desk staff a lot (I can't recall all of their names, but would like to acknowledge Lauren, John, Charlotte, Whitney - and formerly Llexia and Richard who have gone on to different careers). It is always a good sign when staff are happy in their work environment. There is a special feeling one gets within a well-functioning work environment. I find the staff to be genuinely friendly and approachable, and they set a pleasant, professional tone for members. This is a reflection of Cory's management style. The equipment and various parts of the large facility are kept clean, and staff are routinely visibly on the floor wiping things down. I also appreciate that if I mention that a piece of equipment has an issue (dead battery, for e.g.), mirrors in a studio are dirty (idiots putting their hands on them to stretch) or there was a need for paper towel or toilet paper everything is dealt with in a friendly, prompt manner -- as this is not always the case at other locations. I would also like to acknowledge how safe and secure I found GLF to be during the earlier stages of the pandemic when spacing issues were regulated and masks were obligatory (I wish they still were and still don a mask when not working out on equipment). I found the Whitby Centrum facility incredibly well-managed and kept meticulously clean. My husband and I plan to downsize and move to Ottawa in 2023 and I will be genuinely sad to leave the Whitby Centrum group and hope to find a similar GLF 'family' at an Ottawa location. I can only imagine the stress GLF has been under throughout the pandemic. Leases, overhead, insurance, equipment maintenance and depreciation costs, cleaning and staffing must run into the multi-millions. Not to mention navigating the ever-changing government guidelines pertaining to the virus. Happy 43rd birthday GoodLife Fitness -- here's to many more!! Kudos to doing such a fantastic job during such extraordinarily difficult circumstances, and thank you for making the experience so pleasant.

Fantastic experience: The BEST GoodLife I have ever been to. Very spacious and equipment is always open. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. Shaz helped me get my membership setup and provided excellent customer service. I'd recommend anyone in the area choose this GoodLife for their gym!

Fantastic experience: Place is very clean when the place is less busy I feel people complain and wine about how the littlest dirt is on the ground and stean room smelling off sometimes people gotta understand this place is 24 hours and people use the gym constantly everywhere and rely on really 1 person per day to do the work.

Fantastic experience: Loved this place. I would say it again, everything under 1 roof, swimming, steam, sauna, gym, yoga what else 1 would need. Helpful staff

Fantastic experience: Great facilities !! Love jacuzzi, steam, and swimming pool

Fantastic experience: Best gym in GTA by far with very nice staff.

Fantastic experience: Honestly the main reason for giving 5 stars is Mr Richard, he has an amazing personality!!! His excellent customer service and behaviour is really admirable. He is always respectful patient and smiling. I love this location as it got a very nice atmosphere and brilliant stuff. Just one suggestion though, most of the time there is a problem with the steam room and jacuzzi. Suggesting the management to take it more seriously please. Thanks.

Fantastic experience: Great space, friendly staff and perfect spot for training.

Positive experience: Haven't been there long but the experience has been good so far.

Fantastic experience: Throughout the re-opening phase this club and it's employees have gone above and beyond in every way to accommodate its members and keep us safe. Booking my workouts have been easy and usually the gym is ready early to get a good 60-70 minute workout. The staff are constantly cleaning and preparing the gym for the members. Keep up the great work Cory Bicker and staff. ***** Five Stars.

Fantastic experience: One of the better goodlife gyms. Staff are very nice and due to the covid they are wiping down all the equipment to keep us safe.

Fantastic experience: The top Goodlife fitness centre I have worked out in. I’ve been to several downtown Toronto, Markham, new Market, North York, and all things considered, this place is the best one. Pool, hot tub, huge change rooms, multiple stations for squatting, deadlifting, there’s a turf area, outdoor (fenced in) basketball court. It’s Super clean, the staff and other patrons are welcoming and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Great gym i loved going here. Side note. When i was on the bench press someone walked by and dropped a massive fart right next to my head and it sounded very wet and i almost dropped the bar on my head and died, but that can happen anywhere not related this this gym 5 stars

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility, amazing staff and amazing atmosphere. Best Good Life that I've ever been to. Would give it 6 stars if possible.

Fantastic experience: Great staff. Clean. Relaxing yoga. has all the equipment you need :)

Fantastic experience: Hi, I visit quite a few Goodlife locations and so far this Whitby Consumers Drive is one of the best. It has a great layout, separating equipment with 2 floors. Good amount of power cages. The club is very clean. The change rooms were also clean. Even down to the shower heads. They were flowing with power. A lot of shower heads are faulty in clubs, spraying all over the place. The pool is great as well Keep up the good work there, I will definitely use that location a lot more. Thanks

Fantastic experience: I’m a member since 2004. This gym besides in an excellent location is top of the line. I have been to many gym from North America to Hong Kong. This Goodlife undoubtedly stands out. The manager Cory is a great team leader. He leads from the front and cos of this conscientious approach, you find his team with all hands on the deck. Goodlife is fortunate to have him manage this gym. Thank you. Front desk staff is professional, polite, with positive attitude, with concern and pleasant demeanor. I would like to thank in particular Amanda, Melissa, Colin and Maureen. Keep up the good work guys. The gym is spacious, clean and equipment kept functional. I enjoy and love coming to gym everyday. The members make a great team and family. This gym provides healthy and positive environment. Thanks The maintenance Staff Amrit, Vilma and Julie have been observed diligent in there work. Thank you. Keep up the good work guys and keep the flag of Goodlife fluttering high. Thanks a lot. (Wulf)

Fantastic experience: The "Jump" Daycare staff are incredible with our son. The gym is clean and well maintained. Staff are friendly and supportive. Best Goodlife in the GTA!

Fantastic experience: I have been to many goodlife location in the east compare to Pickering, Ajax and Oshawa, this is far better. Clean space, newer equipments, pool, lots of parking.. all in all great gym.

Fantastic experience: This is a really nice gym. Between the great machines, the women's only room, the spaciousness, the ton of parking, and the fact that it is open (and staffed! the staff are super chill and kind by the way, in the many times I've been in here I've only ever had one bad experience) 24/7, I cannot imagine working out anywhere else. It has a beautiful pool, a sauna, a hottub, and massage chairs. This location does not have tanning. My only complaint is that the hottub is often shut down for maintenance - I understand this is necessary but I just love it so much that I wish it was always open!

Fantastic experience: All staff here are amazing. Especially the front desk staff (Melissa especially). They are always super kind and greet you and say good bye as you're leaving. The gym is always clean and it's rare to see a machine broken down. Happy to go here

Fantastic experience: I have not been to this location in a while. But Julie at the front desk is amazing. VERY friendly and welcoming. Thank you for the great service.

Fantastic experience: Massive gym complete with pool and basketball court. It’s a multi level gym with plenty of equipment. They have a nice turf for sled pushing as well. When I first came to this location I was given a quick tour since the facility is quite large. Staff were friendly and so were the gym goers.

Fantastic experience: My local location and my favorite one. They have a pool and very open space. Overnight ladies are always nice. The boxing bag is a great plus and its right off the highway.

Fantastic experience: This is my favourite GoodLife in Durham, it has two floors with lots of different spaces. There’s a turf floor with weight machine sections on the bottom floor. Separated by very spacious change-rooms with steam rooms. Also a woman’s workout space, pool and whirlpool. There are dance, yoga and bicycle studios upstairs that are great for classes or just to use in general.

Fantastic experience: I think this is the biggest and most modern GoodLife location in Canada. Absolutely gorgeous. It even got a basketball court. Organized and clean. Huge change rooms with plenty of lockers

Fantastic experience: The most amazing staff work at this gym. I am greeted with a warm welcome when I arrive. I am acknowledge and told to have a great day when I leave. The people at this gym treat everyone with respect. The staff and members held two minutes of silence today, Nov. 11, 2017 at this gym. Everyone stopped their workouts stood at attention. Some people even cried and things were somber and quiet at the gym for quite awhile after we watched the 21 gun salute from the gym t.v.s. The most amazing people in the world go to this gym on Consumers Drive in Whitby! I have made the best friends I have ever had in my life at this gym.

Fantastic experience: Got a membership about a month or so ago and wanted to get proper training. Luckily I had Eric Micikyan as a personal trainer. Very knowledgeable on lifting and nutrition. Has helped me immensely when it comes to my overall fitness, form and strength. Highly recommend asking for Eric if you are interested at getting personal training sessions at this gym.

Fantastic experience: Really nice, clean facilities and spacious locker rooms. But it's the friendly and helpful staff that really make this place special. Would come here again if we're ever in the Whitby area again.
