GoodLife Fitness Ancaster Wilson and McClure

Positive experience: Put in a second pec deck machine. There’s only 1 and it’s never free because everyone always wants to use it. Why would you not add a second piece of your most popular equipment?

Positive experience: Time to expand sauna, would be a welcome renovation.

Negative experience: Great staff but it's a bit dated... It feels more like a low end gym and not a Goodlife

Fantastic experience: I used to frequent this GoodLife location before COVID, and now, after trying several other gyms, I realize what a gem it is. This gym was impressively clean and well-maintained, especially compared to many others I’ve been to. It’s not as crowded as gyms in the GTA, making workouts much more enjoyable. Ancaster is lucky to have such a great facility that’s easy to overlook. Definitely one of the best in terms of cleanliness and maintenance!

Fantastic experience: Fully loaded gym with all equipments. Accessible location and very clean gym. The staff is very hospitable and care about customer service; especially Julie and Dimple have always been around to help.

Negative experience: Would give 0 stars if I could. Called in months ago to pause my membership, which I later found out they failed to do so and have been charging me from a credit I deposited into my Goodlife account. When I contacted them to get this rectified, they stated they had no record of an ask to pause the membership and there’s nothing they could do for me. Really appalling business practice for an establishment that charges premium fees and touts flexibility as a differentiator.

Positive experience: Meh whatever, for the price it’s decent I guess

Fantastic experience: Sehr gutes Gym. Bin nur zu Besuch meiner Tante hier. Das Gym bietet alles was ich brauche. Ab 19 Uhr ist es auch relativ leer. Großer Traingingsbereich über 2 Stockwerk

Positive experience: The music can be too loud, depending on who is at the front. Very annoying. I can hardly hear my own music with my AirPods in. I usually get my session in early morning around 5 am and it seems people exercising earlier or late the previous night do not leave the equipment in a usable state. Bars are heavy loaded with weights. Takes me about 10 minutes in the morning unloading the weights and getting my equipment ready to do my exercise. Please do something about this. This is so inconsiderate to others. Too many people for the amount of space.

Negative experience: How dare they switch the towel service to tag to grab. If it's so expensive, lower the cost of membership. Keep lowering your quality of service and see where that takes you.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to the Ancaster location since 2016. The staff are friendly and the gym is always very clean.

Fantastic experience: Best GoodLife in the Hamilton area hands down. Thanks for keeping it so clean and friendly. I drive 20mins out of the way to come here.

Fantastic experience: This is the best Goodlife I have ever been to, the equipment, cleanliness, and most importantly the people that use it. All 5 star..good job who ever is running it!

Positive experience: Wonderful gym but prices are way to expensive

Fantastic experience: Staff were very welcoming and helpful! Thank you Steph!

Fantastic experience: Very good gym. Open 24 hours, staff are nice, and it's always very clean. I really hope they keep up the cleanliness in particular, it's noticed and much appreciated.

Fantastic experience: Great Place. It's quite clean and organized. The staff is friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. Recommend.

Fantastic experience: Very clean. Friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Amazing location and outstanding staff! I’m training with Tamika and she is an absolute star! Highly skilled and knowledgeable. I’ve learned so much in such a short time. Best location ever!

Fantastic experience: Always such a nice experience coming here. The staff are always so helpful and kind!

Fantastic experience: Smaller but good. Peak times are a little over whelming but love the turfed area.

Fantastic experience: Always clean and great gym location.

Negative experience: Solid gym. Annoying parking though. Annoying how all the weight stacks are 50/50 split between measured in lbs vs kg. Very dissatisfied how this location only offers virtual group classes despite the beautiful group exercise studios that got built for it.

Fantastic experience: Very clean and well organised gym in ancaster, ON

Positive experience: Spacious and clean. Good variety of equipment. Two levels gives room for relaxing workout.

Fantastic experience: I would like to thank PROMIL , for going above and beyond,I appreciate his hard work so much , he made me comeback to GoodLife fitness

Fantastic experience: Very clean, common to see staff doing some sort of cleaning at any given time. Large change rooms with plenty of lockers. Great selection of classes to attend. Staff is super friendly. Special shoutout to my favourite trainer ever, Emily, who made my workouts twice as hard by keeping me laughing the entire time!

Positive experience: Some machines on the upper level didn't move as well as I would have hoped, they stuttered a little and one was sticky, but most were very well maintained. The floor work area was well padded and the turf zone was small but functional. They have a giant fan in the cycling room, and it felt so refreshing during my half hour ride. When I saw staff, they were always very friendly and approachable. I never had to wait very long to use a machine.

Positive experience: Although staff are wonderful and the facility is clean, the gym is soo overcrowded it's almost impossible to get a complete workout in. I wish they would expand as it's such a small gym.

Fantastic experience: The gym has new equipment, is clean, and has lots of parking. There's a sauna here, but no pool I believe.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Great front line staff always welcoming. Equipment always in good working order. Personal trainers and management could be a little more engaging with members.

Fantastic experience: Love it. It's a Great Day at GoodLife.

Fantastic experience:

Fantastic experience: Now it's open 24 hrs, Since September 2022. Always a good workout with all machines working and mostly available

Positive experience: Great place to exercise, I am fairly new to working out but Goodlife made it easy to jump right in. Highly reccomend.

Fantastic experience: Nice and clean gym with all the equipment you need

Negative experience: Transferring gym memberships without any formal contact with their members. A simple refund would do, but it makes you wonder if their practises are unprofessional, predatory, or just straight up fraudulent. Shame on you guys

Fantastic experience: Ancaster GoodLife is an excellent gym!! It is a place that you always feel comfortable. Staff are so welcoming and friendly which I love. Many even greet you by your name and always have a big smile. I’d especially like to thank Cam and Eric who are awesome trainers! They work with my son Connor who has Down syndrome. I know that is not an easy task but they do it with such kindness. So wonderful to have that support!! Thank you !!

Positive experience: Same as any other goodlife. This one has 2 lvl cardio machine on the bottom and weights on the top floor. I would prefer the weights being on the first floor so we can deadlift properly. The weight machine are places all over and not in order. The gym is clean and nice.

Positive experience: Very small gym!

Fantastic experience: Great vibe and staff always very welcoming. Shoutout to Trevor for helping me achieve my goals!

Positive experience: On top of this location being very clean, the staff here are very friendly and welcoming.

Negative experience: Not the best goodlife I have ever seen. The gym is to small, lacks equipment and atmosphere. For days now, the hand sanitizer and paper towels dispensers are still empty upstairs, clearly no one is cleaning Goodlife use to be a little more high end, not worth the $$$$ anymore

Fantastic experience: Changing rooms and showers are always clean, staff are super helpful and welcoming. Special shoutout to Austin, Dawson, and Tamika for going the extra mile to make me feel welcomed. They really make it feel like it's my gym, and that isn't something you get everywhere.

Fantastic experience: Great layout of the gym, the free weights are almost always organized, and the equipment is clean and in great condition. On top of that the staff are very friendly staff and you can tell the GM and staff take pride in giving their customers wonderful experience.

Fantastic experience: Having the opportunity to get back to the gym for my workouts has been great. My home location is the Ancaster GoodLife and I feel very comfortable working out at the gym given the steps they’ve taken to safeguard members’ health and safety. Management has made sure that everything is kept very clean and that the equipment is all in great running order. I work out with a trainer (Ben H) who makes sure I stick to the rules while making sure I’m challenged. Special thanks to the owners of GoodLife for sticking by their commitment to personal fitness. They did a great job throughout the pandemic by implementing safe workout procedures when the gyms were open and by providing various kinds of online training when the gyms were not accessible. I’m a happy client. John S

Fantastic experience: Very clean club with friendly staff. Have been a member for many years and really enjoy it. My Personal trainer Cam is excellent. Highly recommend Cam and the club.

Positive experience: Great place great stuff, but not open 24/7.

Fantastic experience: I have just joined Goodlife recently and the staff has been really helpful with my membership information and making sure members are following the right procedures during this pandemic.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym with great staff. it is always clean and a great environment to be in! Personal Training is also fantastic, learned so much!

Negative experience: First time here. Had to wait 15-20 minutes at front desk minutes to be helped. Interrupted and Calls kept coming in and other members were being helped as I waited. Disappointed at the service, as other locations have all be great

Positive experience: Nice clean facility

Fantastic experience: Everyone at this location is so friendly and welcoming, especially Ashely as she is very cheerful. Thank you to the staff who keep this Goodlife clean and follow the proper protocol to help prevent and keep us safe from covid.

Fantastic experience: During these times of covid cleanliness is extremely important to me and as well as a friendly face. I would give a shoutout to Rob G, he is always friendly and I always see him cleaning away. Great job!

Fantastic experience: I enjoy going into the Ancaster GoodLife because even during these times I always see the staff cleaning and ensuring the place is clean! Special shout out to Ashely who is very friendly at the front desk.

Fantastic experience: I love going to this GoodLife because of the cleanliness and staff, special shout-out to Ashley who is always smiling and welcoming!

Positive experience: A pleasant gym experience. The front desk is usually welcoming, but Ashely is the sweetest. Always asks how my day went, and how my family is. Its the little things that make your day!

Fantastic experience: I sometimes go to the GoodLife Ancaster location & have always had a good experience. The staff is friendly, the gym is clean & I always see staff doing extra sanitizing due to COVID-19. I've had a few conversations with Matthew while he was cleaning & he always seems very friendly.

Fantastic experience: I love going to this GL in particular because of Ashely - she is a bundle of joy! I also, love that ALL the staff are friendly, welcoming and are doing their part to ensure the gym is clean, especially during these times. It really gives me a sense of feeling safe when I go in to do my workouts, thanks GL ANCASTER!

Fantastic experience: I feel comfortable and confident going to workout at this location. The staff are friendly (Matthew for one) make you feel welcomed and are constantly ensuring the gym equipment is clean and disinfected. Keep up the great work!

Fantastic experience: Every time I go to the club, whether it be to workout on the floor or to do classes, I feel safe. The club is immaculately clean, spaced out well and the management team does a fantastic job at keeping everyone accountable. Special shout out to Logan their Assistant General Manager for doing a great job. Keep up the awesome work! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. :)

Fantastic experience: I have been a member with Goodlife Ancaster for a number of years and I think its important to acknowledge the management and entire staff including the cleaners especially in today's stressful climate. The entire staff is amazing with their top tier professionalism. I feel safe going in the gym and seeing the staff constantly cleaning while I am working out. I have also observed staff walking around to ensure that masks are always on at all times. I genuinely appreciate each and every staff member for their professionalism, empathy and communication skills.

Positive experience: Very nice

Negative experience: Poor customer service. Not satisfied at all. Paying for a full everything included membership, that includes sauna, towel service, showers, and due to COVID none of it’s available. These greedy people are willing to let me go to another gym rather then try and give me a better price and keep my business. Pathetic

Fantastic experience: Hands down the cleanest fitness facility I have ever attended. Staff are always friendly and ready to help with all inquiries. I highly recommend this location to anyone who is new to working out in a public gym, they will make you feel right at home.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town!

Positive experience: Clean, excellent classes

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Good equipment. Staff is friendly. Been going here for years and will continue to do so

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, always easy to talk to someone at this location. Change rooms and gym always very clean. No complaints great location and it’s 24 hours.

Fantastic experience: Staff are friendly and professional. Love working with my trainer Andrew. Clean and well maintained.

Negative experience: The facility is clean, with lots of equipment. Staff is friendly. But above all the membership staff is trained poorly when it comes to subscribing new members. I have been added to my boyfriend's account and they just cannot figure it out. I have issues accessing the club and 2 meetings with the manager wasn't enough. We have paid a total of 3 months and now my membership is deemed canceled. Incompetence of the staff leads to 2 customers who will leave GoodLife! And many more to follow.

Fantastic experience: First time in a few years that I have been in. I like the new additions (turf, sled push, ropes). Wide variety of machines, kept clean. Never been in when its busy, but there are a few empty places for stretching or floor work. Have not participated in any classes - not aware of what they offer.

Fantastic experience: Always friendly

Positive experience: One of the smaller branches in the area. Not too busy, fair number of machines although after the last renovation it appears that the number of treadmills have been reduced. Change rooms reasonably clean although last winter the lockers in the men's change room was often dirty from boots. So far this winter it has not been a problem. My one major complaint is the TV programming. The channels presently are fine but there needs to be far more selection and the reception is terrible. Some channels like AMC are often unwatchable. Staff are all helpful.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, I moved and miss this location, equipment was always clean and organized

Fantastic experience: From the first call when Steph answered the phone to meeting Logan and Alex, my experience has been wonderful. It can be intimidating starting a new gym but the staff at this location are A1!! The vibe is genuine with folks of all ages just doing their thing. The muscle guys are primarily upstairs so everyone has their space. I plan to start some classes soon now that I have a nice comfort level. Highly recommended and if you feel the need to reacquaint yourself with the gym, be sure to book a few intro level personal training sessions. I’m happy I joined. Steph is a sweetie on the welcome desk. It’s refreshing when someone truly enjoys the work they do.

Fantastic experience: 2nd best Goodlife in Ontario, with an upstairs and downstairs, & a decent amount of workout machines along with the turf zone. Locker room and showers are a decent size, and the gym isn't overcrowded, or overly congested, you barely ever have to wait to use a machine! It has arguably the top 2 saunas of all the Goodlifes, & they get HOT! Why I rank it also the 2nd best, is the vibe of the people, the guys are cool, and even the hot girls there are friendly along with the staff. Great energy and environment, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Better then the Hamilton Goodlifes which are overcrowded and congested, and people there can be kind of snobby!

Fantastic experience: Large. Friendly staff and always clean. Gets packed during peak times but that’s typical of any Goodlife but lots of room between the upstairs and downstairs.

Negative experience: Tried to set up a trial membership. They called me to set up an appointment to activate it. I showed up at the allocated time (with an email to confirm I showed up at the right time) and they turned me away at the door saying it wasn’t possible as there wasn’t anyone there to do it. Seems interesting such a large company can’t coordinate with employee schedules. Not impressed.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic Group[ Fitness classes and instructors. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great energy within the club

Positive experience: Really nice goodlife. Not a lot of mucle heads like most gyms.

Positive experience: Great facility, clean and not too busy. Patrons are a little worse at this location compared to most, and so are the staff

Negative experience: Robert the general manager was extremely unhelpful and unprofessional in resolving a situation regarding our membership

Negative experience: Robert was extremely unhelpful. Matt made promises to us that were not kept by the general manager.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym and the people are absolutely wonderful. It is a family at this gym and they really care. From the Personal Training Staff to the Front Desk Staff they are always willing to help and go above and beyond. The General Manager Rob is excellent to deal with and always shows appreciation and support for his members. It is a warm and inviting gym and it is the reason I am still a member here. Check it out and you will see what I mean!

Positive experience: I love everything about ancaster club , but there is one thing then i don’t like is (MUSIC ) They don’t play any music ,, We need the music to be loud ,to enjoy our work out , not all the ppl have headphones , Please play the god dame music loud :) Thank you guys .

Fantastic experience: I like going to this GoodLife when in Hamilton. It's large spacious and clean.

Positive experience: I like this location although it is kind of small and can be a bit crowded at times

Positive experience: A very convenient place to workout. It has a wide variety of equipment for your exercise routine.

Fantastic experience: This club is clean, bright and an overall great atmosphere to work out in. The staff are fantastic from the front desk to the Childcare area. Rob Gauden always takes the time to speak to you and ensure that your experience is wonderful. Steph in the chidcare room is fantastic with my son and he always looks forward to spending time with her while I workout. The equipment is perfectly maintained and there are always options available if someone happens to be using a piece of equipment you wanted. Great work Goodlife Ancaster!

Fantastic experience: Excellent Gym with great management! The front desk staff are helpful and always have a great attitude!

Fantastic experience: We have had a great experience so far at Goodlife in Ancaster. We joined just over a year ago. The staff and friendly and helpful. The manager, Rob, is fantastic and goes above and beyond to help out. The trainers and knowledgeable and always happy to help. The equipment is clean and well maintained and I have yet to see a broken machine.

Fantastic experience: Have been going to this location since they opened 6 years ago. Have been able to talk to the jump staff and trainers whenever we have a question or concern. They are always willing to listen and help when they can. It's nice to walk in and the staff remember you by name. Great staff and fellow members; they make you feel like family.

Fantastic experience: This is my home away from home. I joined GoodLife Ancaster over a year ago. This gym is very clean and the people at Goodlife Ancaster are amazing!! From the counter staff to the Management Team to the Trainers all are very supportive and very friendly. I promise you won't be disappointed at Goodlife Ancaster. A big thanks to Rob G and his team in Ancaster for helping me to achieve my health goals.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to this location since it opened and I love it. Staff are always friendly, gym is clean with great workout facilities. Everything you could ask for in a gym!

Fantastic experience: This is a great facility with friendly staff and amazing classes variety. Very clean space and you can always find free equipment to use without waiting. I strongly recommend a personal trainer Sara who is been training me for few months now. She knows what your body needs and I already see visible results. She is great with giving tips and keeps you motivated to work hard. I’m really pleased with GoodLife.

Fantastic experience: I’ve never joined a gym before, GoodLife was the first and so far it has been a great experience. Staff are very supportive and helpful. I would highly recommend working out here

Fantastic experience: Great gym with experienced trainers and friendly staff. Plenty of equipment for strength training and cardio. Lots of lockers and clean dressing room. Trainer, Sara is amazing - she is highly motivating, funny and badass. She gets you to push yourself and you will see results. Can not recommend her or her classes enough!

Fantastic experience: Great Location, Never overly crowded and always clean. Friendly staff that are very knowledgeable. I will go out of my way to come to this location. Great gym that has everything you need and seems to be always improving.

Fantastic experience: I love this location. The staff is amazing and I feel very comfortable leaving my daughter in the jump program, I know they take great care of her. I highly recommend the person trainers!
