GoodLife Fitness Scarborough Town Centre Women's Only

Fantastic experience: I love this gym it’s such a good space for women, I love how big it is and spacious and clean. The staff is also very friendly and helpful!!

Fantastic experience: Loved the gym, the front desk staff is super sweet and it’s honestly the cleanest gyms I’ve been to

Fantastic experience: Saima, the hijabi receptionist is the sweetest. overall good facility. always clean.

Negative experience: Was thinking of switching my membership to this location so I stopped in to test it out. Big disappointment. It's small cramped and lacking amenities. Changes rooms were horrific, shower stalls smelled like urine, no water pressure, and no shelving in the shower to place items. Would not recommend this gym to anyone... it should be shut down. Shame on Goodlife.

Negative experience: I usually don’t leave reviews on google but this time was different coz I can’t believe the insecurities of the associate at this location. I was there for the first time because I don’t workout at women’s locations for the reason that there were only limited machines. I went there to help a friend who, for the first time, use a gym to workout because she now consciously wants to make a tremendous change. I showed her how to use the machine as she has no confidence to use it by herself for the first time. I didn’t expect that the trainers at that location didn’t take it very well coz I was a threat to their job, maybe because I looked like a real personal trainer than they are. One associate came up to me and told me that what I was doing(showing a friend how to use the machine) is not acceptable. They said it makes an impression to other people that I am a personal trainer( can’t blame them because I really look like one) where they have their own personal trainers. I understand where shes coming from but if only people understand that the mentality of being insecure will not help them achieve the success of their business. What she did is a crab mentally. It was our first time being there so I don’t understand why it is a threat to their job. If we did it several times then I would understand her side. But I have been to so many gym and I train for over 10 years now and never once in my fitness life that I was approached because I was helping someone. The gym should be the safest place for people who doesn’t have confidence yet because it’s their first time. In the gym where I workout, everybody helping everybody, strangers or friends and acquaintances. I even see personal trainers walking around the gym asking people if they needed help. She approached me and the first word that came out of her mouth was that I was a threat to their job. So I asked her why can’t I help a friend if I am also a member? She said that I should also workout with my friend so I don’t give an impression to other people that I’m a trainer. So I asked her that isn’t it my choice when and if I want to workout? And she told me that it’s not my choice because it’s their policy that I shouldn’t be teaching someone in the gym because that is the job of the personal trainers. I was appalled but we were very professional on dealing with her because I’m not the person who put my energy on insecurities. She told me that if something happened to us it’s not the gym’s liability because we are not trained by a personal trainer. I think everybody knows that it’s our own liability to work out or use the machines at our own risk hence the liability waiver that we sign during membership sign up. Wouldn’t you be just happy that someone is finally making a good decision in their life to make a lifestyle change and have your gym be a part of that change instead of looking at it at a different perspective that “ oh my God she’s going to be a threat to my job!” Life would be wonderful if there is no jealousy and insecurity. If you believe that you can get clients because you are good at what you do, then other people’s strength and doings shouldn’t be a threat for you. Hope they can also make a conscious awareness for themselves to help other people on their journey not in a selfish way because someone is a threat to your business which is so sad.

Positive experience: A well-maintained and cozy little gym with friendly staff! I don't mind going to co-ed gyms, but this location is the closest to me, so I workout here. It's also conveniently located inside the Real Canadian Superstore, which is great for grocery runs! I've never used the showers, and I don't need towel service, so I can't speak to those points, unfortunately. The only downside is the lack of equipment, due to its small size. I prefer to workout with machines, and there is only one of each machine available, so you may have to wait a while for the machine you want to use, if someone is already using it. And it's worse when some women will simply sit at the machines, socializing or talking on the phone. These ladies need to learn some proper gym etiquette! But other than that, it's a great place to workout!

Fantastic experience: beautiful gym with good equipments

Negative experience: I needed to purchase a package on July 31st 2024 .I walked in 7 pm I saw no one in the front desk .I thought may be they doing something and someone would come so thought to go on the treadmill till someone's come.no one came so end up calling the gym they were all inside the staff lounge .I asked one of them to come and so I cam purchase it .she came she left before I cud get off treadmill.i got off treadmill and went to the front desk and called her she came .the blonde hair girl I forgot to ask her name she has bad attitude. She does not know how to talk to the member .she was so rude. Saying if you call insult expect you to be at the desk and I asked aren't you gusy supposed to be in the front she goes no it's my break now but the co worker and she paused and said thas Why I came .but there's a way to handle member she does not belong in the front desk .sorry to say if u keep her in the front desk you will loose members.

Fantastic experience: Great place!!

Negative experience: Pretty stupid not to label it as for women on google maps. Just waited my drive here.

Fantastic experience: This gym is a hidden gem, it’s surprisingly spacious and clean, especially the studio which is super big and bright. The staff here are super sweet and helpful out of all the goodlife’s i’ve been to so far, and all the girls who workout here are so chill and friendly. They recently got some new equipment hopefully they will renovate the place bc it has sooo much potential.

Fantastic experience: This by far is my favourite location. It’s clean, the staff is amazing and everyone is always smiling. All the machines always work and if there’s ever something that breaks down it’s always attended to in a timely manner. The GM takes time out to take care of the club and stop to have conversations with the members. Love this place

Negative experience: I travel a lot because of work today I decided to stop at this location for a quick cardio workout. I was greeted by the south Asian young lady who was friendly and very kind after my cardio workout. I headed to the shower where there were two employees chitchatting while I was taking a shower. It was very intimidating and I didn’t feel comfortable. The water pressure was very low and I probably won’t be back again.

Fantastic experience: Best as Ever

Negative experience: Wish you could give 0 stars. Kept membership going broken promises for over 12 months of pool reopening... hot tub 1 week but never opened. Horrible

Negative experience: This gym is ok. the dumbbells only go to 50lbs which is kinda dumb as most gyms have higher ones. (THEY NEED TO UPGRADE)!! This gym is moving broke. Whoever the manager is……DO BETTER!! Pretty tiny gym, it can get filled up quick which leads to you waiting for someone to stop using a machine for a long time Some people often hog the machines for HOURSSSS & the whole time they’ll just be on their phone like for the love of god please stop. And stop doing workouts in front of a machine if ur not using the actual machine like some of the people at the gym need to use common sense…like you are blocking the entire machine. Employees are okay, one looks like she’s being held at gun point and just hates working like smile more lol. But I get it, they must be tired. They are doing their best! It closes at 4pm on weekends which is also so dumb. Machines look like they haven’t been thoroughly cleaned since they got them. Sticky greasy looking stuff on some of the machines. Some of the lockers also have not been cleaned.Overall 4/10.

Fantastic experience: The women and staff at this location are always so nice and welcoming

Fantastic experience: Do they have boxing bags in these facilities?

Fantastic experience: Not huge but it has all you need and a few squat racks. Big for a women’s only gym form what I have seen. Employee free hours mean you must have a key tag to get in(can’t use your phone bar code thing to get in)

Negative experience: This gym use to be my go to. The gym smells like BO, not cleaned like it use to be. Also staff is not attentive at the front desk. I've noticed the staff hiding in the offices with the doors closed to make it look like no staff is in the club.

Negative experience: If your thinking of getting a Goodlife membership. Keep these in mind- the women’s gyms none of them do towel service, they don’t have pools and they don’t have turf areas. The have statements on creating equitable opportunities and treatment but there female only gyms do not encompass that. I have the Ultimate gym membership and bounce from female gyms and the 24 hour coed gym since I am a emergency dispatcher working on a rotating schedule. I prefer the female only environment. The coed gyms, have pools, towel service and turf area. I think it feels like we’re sub human and don’t deserve those things or that we are women and don’t train as hard. I’m not sure what it is but pretty disappointed. Wish I knew that before signing up paying the same as others. I think we should pay less if we are getting less.

Negative experience: I only attend women gym so I am already limited it saddens me to give such a low review. This branch I would have given 5 stars because of; 1. Overall friendly staff at front desk and instructors are too. I love going to the group classes. All the instructors make u feel welcomed and they love what they do. The women who attend are also very nice. 2. Clean and neat even tho on the older side I cannot give 5 stars because; 1. Facilities a bit on the older side- I do not mind because of staff 2. No classes on Friday evenings 3. No Zumba classes in the evening throughout the entire week I feel unfairly treated by GOOD LIFE COMPANY as I pay the same as someone who is relaxed at coed gyms. But I am most comfortable with women only. So I have no other choice but to accept the aged look, no Zumba,no RPM, swimming pool, towel service etc. I have tried the other women only near me but they can't compare to this branch- when it comes to group class instructors, all floor staff and the overall vibe as well as it is 13 mins drive from work and home.....so I'll sacrifice it. Please get more Zumba classes in the evenings thank you!!! I honestly don't care about anything else

Positive experience: Instructors and staff very nice. I think it may be time to remove the carpet, gym part tends to get a little stinky. Love all the classes and the women are welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever!

Fantastic experience: Thank you Goodlife Fitness for an amazing gym and a women's only environment in which I feel comfortable. Kristin, the gym manager is super friendly and helpful. She acknowledges everyone with a smile. The gym is clean and it's a fair size that has all the equipment needed. There's also 2 massage chairs and a sauna room!

Negative experience: Seriously no classes on fridays?? Also not everybody is willing to come at 9am! Classes should be available everyday morning and afternoon but no they wanna charge u 90$ a month which is insane for few classes that is mostly yoga plus they close at 4pm on weekends!!! not worth the money cancelling soon!!!

Negative experience: I dont want to mention my issue here but theres no other option now, in July i have joined gym with personal trainer who supposed to give me 4 hr session per month but she gave me only 2 sessions and I didn't go to gym except those 2 days, so from july to till oct every biweekly direct deposit thing happens, i visit gym in person for so many times for canceling my membership but they dont treat me well i want my money back as i did not use the gym expect 2 days so kindly solve my issue i will greatly appreciate it.

Negative experience: they don't have any classes on Fridays and sometimes that's the only day off I have if you re charging that much money for a small gym than classes should be available everyday in addition I never see Zumba classes only repetitive classes mostly yoga which is boring

Negative experience: Bad treatment by employees and really bad experience overall . Even if you look at them and smile they just ignore your existence completely. I thought it was just once but they are rude and don’t know anything about being polite . Definitely needs improvement.

Positive experience: Good place

Fantastic experience: I want to go to this location with my gf who already has the membership but cant because this is for womens only and there is no other goodlife near STC. Can I go if I identify as a woman?

Negative experience: My experience in this place was very bad, 350 dollars were taken from me to stop my monthly partnership, my partnership did not stop , and every month the partnership fees are withdrawn from me, and I came to them more than once to inquire about the reason, and they promised me to return the money and withdraw again and not return my money, except About that their bad treatment, especially the manager in work there

Negative experience: The hours of this location is absolutely ridiculous. Closing at 4pm on the weekends? And closing at 9 on a Friday? I saw someone else who said the same thing and they replied that these hours are only temporary but it’s been over a year since that comment has been made & no changes have been made.

Positive experience: Thanks Goodlife fitness for giving women value and protecting their privacy by providing this location. Gym is small but clean and well maintained, staff are super nice, the only problem I never seen any classes available on Fridays.

Fantastic experience: I want to know the price of registration and monthly fee please

Fantastic experience: Been going to this gym since 2017. There weren't any changes here until 2023 when the gym got new management. The new manager has brought exceptional changes to this gym and really made the environment more inviting with their friendly nature and equipment improvements. The new manager brought new equipment, gets repairmen to come promptly if something needs work, helps you with your form and routine, and overall just makes you feel much more confident in the gym. The staff members also express a friendly nature and keep the gym super clean. They even added complimentary pads and tampons to the washroom <3

Fantastic experience: I started coming to this GoodLife about a year ago, and would highly recommend! Very clean and new equipment, as well as friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Very cool.. I am grateful to be in this place high level sports coaches and kind treatment with all respect and love

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to this gym for 6+ years and I’m the most satisfied this year. The new manager, Kristi, is very welcoming and acknowledges everyone who enters the gym with a hello and a goodbye, which other managers have never done. She is also very attentive and takes concerns to heart and does something about it when needed. The customer service reps are very attentive and helpful. The trainers, Krystyna and Nicole, are very friendly and helpful. Even if you are not their client, they will provide you with helpful exercise and nutrition tips because of their caring nature. Overall, good vibes here, I’m very impressed by the new management

Positive experience: Lots of items to chose from Friendly Staff

Positive experience: Need more equipment. Maybe get rid of some of the treadmills and add more machines. No one answers the phone call here either.

Negative experience: The one star is only because i had too. I purchared personal training sessions and wasn't told they expire. Never did they once explain or mention the expiry. They say its mentioned in the contract but they dont even let you read it when you sign up. And when i wasnt able to attend due to family emergencies they refused to give me any extensions. I even informed the pt before hand and she was aware of my state. The manager said the personal trainer tried to reach me but it was a total false claim. I didn't recieve any call or message from her to check up on me. Even customer service refused to provide any help. The sessions were worth over a $1000 and i only used about 3 of them. They even have unstaffed hours and literally anyone can sneak in at those time and the showers are not accessible. Total waste of money. Would not recommend. They only care about your money. Not your journey.

Negative experience: The staff and everything is perfect But the personal trainer that I know her name and her name is Cristina She’s always looking at me and she always using 2 or3 machines simultaneously And once she done with everything then we can use them That’s not right

Negative experience: The gym Is small but clean the staff are nice but the only problem is I pay for premium membership which is expensive to be able to join classes but most of the days have only 1/2 classes max and some days like today have no classes available which does not work with my schedule and my money is just being wasted, they re charging this much for a small gym no swimming pool cause they don't value women plus the classes availibity is very limited

Positive experience: Good place for women to workout. Too bad they close at 4pm on weekends. If they can hv it open till 10pm on weekends as unstaffed, it will be great.

Fantastic experience: Staff very friendly and patient.

Positive experience: Great gym, but it would be nice if they got some heavier dumbbell and barbell weights as they only have one squat rack and smith machine which seem to always be in use. Also, this gym is very hot - not sure if the AC is broken or they just don't have one

Negative experience: Don’t use the stand up tanning. It’s a complete rip off. Went three times not even one tan line was visible no change to my natural colour. No hooks to hang up your clothes and there is no ceiling covering the top of the room.

Fantastic experience: This is my favourite gym so far. The gym is always clean. The staff is really friendly. Whenever I have any questions there always at the front to help me out. I also like how they have pads and tampons for free. Many GoodLife locations don’t have this option. I really recommend it.

Positive experience: I’ve been a long-time gym-goer at Goodlife (STC). I have ZERO complaints, except for the fact that there is one trainer, in specific, who continuously hogs certain machines for more than an hour at a time, whether it is her working out, or her reserving it for a client. I believe in gym etiquette — meaning, it is polite to make sure your exercises aren’t overly long so you can share the machine with another woman who wants to use it. A superset (two exercises in a row) is as much as I do, as I know it is the polite thing to share the machines as much as possible with a fellow Goodlife member. This specific trainer will hog the machine with her bags and equipment so that no one can use it, even if she isn’t using it for the time being. It’s very, very frustrating. I am not one to complain, but I think it’s important that the staff at this location tell their personal trainers to equally share equipment, like all of us women do when we work out. Today I waited for more than an hour for the smith machine and go so fed up I ended up eliminating that workout from my program for the day. I am too shy to say anything in person, but at the very least I can write about the importance of gym etiquette. Thank you. Other than that, carry on with the good work, guys. Love y’all.

Positive experience: Good gym, clean.. Has everything i need. Took one star off since it has unstaffed hours.. That being said, the manager who was off duty at the time was still nice and helpful.

Negative experience: Great Gym but the hours of operation is unacceptable!!

Fantastic experience: Sorry they are closing down

Fantastic experience: I workout here and it's an amazing environment!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place

Fantastic experience: Staff are friendly. Not many people. Protocols in place for health & safety.

Positive experience: Staff are super helpful, place is kept clean. Enough space to get a good workout in. Just wish it had a different leg press machine.

Negative experience: Told me wrong time for bookings showed up couldnt get in. This system is absolute garbage.

Fantastic experience: 11/10 experience, very clean, organized, welcoming and friendly staff. definitely would recommend this location to every women!

Negative experience: I have been a loyal customer ofgoodlife fitness. i have been coming for years. Recently i visited this location and staff treated me very rudly and lied to manager about me not wearing a mask. staff argue with me very rudly. i am not going back and i cancelled my gym membership.

Fantastic experience: As a person who went to 3 different gyms before I came to this one I am extremely impressed of the staffs behaviour and how they clean the machines after it’s used. When I first went in I was EXTREMELY surprised of how nice the staff were when they were checking me in. After I finished checking in, I went straight for the machines to get my workout in, and there’s not that many people so that’s definitely a plus! Later when I finished my workout I wiped down the machines BUT there’s always an employee who goes around and wipes down the machines after each person is done!!! <- this is the part where they impressed me the most. At the end of the hour when everyone leaves they do an amazing job cleaning and wiping down all of the equipment. Overall I am extremely happy about this location and I think I found my number 1 gym! Hope you guys read this :)))))

Fantastic experience: Great gym for women

Fantastic experience: Favourite gym! Has a punching bag and now extended hours with badge scan. Can’t wait till it reopens

Fantastic experience: 5 Stars! Amazing experience at this Women's Only GoodLife location. Service is great and friendly, machines are very clean. I love visiting this gym every day and feeling empower by other women! Staff is very friendly!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym

Fantastic experience: As women who wears a niqab it is difficult for me to feel comfortable in a gym especially if you have to walk through the co-ed section to get to the womens only section. A good friend of mine told me about this location which is near me and its a 11/10. The staff are amazing, the atmosphere is the best and stress free. I would recommend it to any women any day especially if they need a gym that will make them feel welcome. Also I want to say a special thank you to one of the many amazing staff members I've met at this location, her name is Dounia and another special thank you to the GM Melissa! Amazing work!

Fantastic experience: Honestly, this is the best gym to be as a woman! The staff are so kind and always has good vibes! I highly recommend because they are so considerate & respectful!

Negative experience: I was looking for an all woman gym and I allways check for reviews wasn't very impressed with one of the comments made by Ghada. Wow crazy that someones locker can be opened and everything taken out. I felt horrible for this lady even worse not even a respond from a member of management. Makes me think twice about where I would like to work out! Good thing we have reviews

Negative experience: I just had very bad day with the staff from the location in STC .. inside  super store . I am member since June 11 .2019 I rented locker from the previous manager and one of the staff register me her name is stephania I rented my locker July 18 I paid money and it's been documented in the system for every month $10 . Then today August 02@4:15 I came to the club and I went to the locker no. 15..!! I was shocked ..frustrated . The locker been opened and my lock was Brocken and the staff there. ladies insist that they don't rent locker .. When I ask one of them to Open my account in her system I told her you will see I rented a locker no.15 from the club And I paid money and i sign authorizition every month to withdraw from my account to rent the locker $10 Then she believe me and said : We don't have that bad manager with us anymore !!! She open one of the drawers and it was full with alot of ladies stuff . I ..never ever get humiliated before like this time !!! I said how come you Brock my lock and open my locker and get into my personal stuff. Iam so... ..so disappointed about This situation .. And I Quit I don't want to come back . But the problem they said I have to pay August $41.00 because of bad experience I had .. So please take action and I need replay . And the funny things .I just got email from Good life for cancelation for my locker renting So how come the staff ladies said they don't rent any locker Thank you Ghada  Salman

Positive experience: Gym Scarborough town location is nice and clean Women only. Class and instructor amazing. My only issue is the sales pressure and the constant calls to get you to sign up. I was signed in as a guest attending a fitness class a recieved 2 messages. One said i missed an appointment (which I never had) the other was asking me to come in to discuss a membership. It's annoying. The York Mills location was much more professional no pressure no multiple calls.

Negative experience: Expensive, messy washrooms

Fantastic experience: Best female gym location. The girls who work there are always friendly and willing to help

Fantastic experience: live DJ!!! just wow!!!

Fantastic experience: The best investment in 2019! The staff are super friendly, the place is clean, well-equipped and the atmosphere is very welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Its the best gooflife for women with great trainers

Positive experience: Came with a friend and was pleasantly surprised. Clean

Fantastic experience: The best women gym. Very clean, great services and good place to workout. Love their group classes and gym is always having space to do cardio.

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout.

Positive experience: Free wifi plus Superstore is connected to it.

Negative experience: This place is alright. 1 squat rack and 1 smiths machine. For the most part (depending on the time of day), its free. However, when personal trainers are using it to train their clients, they love to take their time and have full out 15-20 min conversations between sets. Trainers dont re-rack and leave their clipboards and stuff all over the place, so i have to ask if they are done using the machine. Its also bad enough that when a heavy lifter gets their hands on the squat rack, they spend their entire workout session there doing leg day. Either get another squat rack, or put signs asking clients/ trainers to be considerate... specially when its busy. Otherwise, go to a crossfit gym if you want a rack all to yourself for an hour. (This applies to most goodlife gyms)

Fantastic experience: Take care of your mind body and soul

Positive experience: Gym located upstairs. Women only in this location which is great. Most of the greeters are friendly. Management tends to ignore the womens only locations- there is no towel service and many of the equipment us really old (there's only one rowing machine from ages ago). No one uses the tan booth, replace it with aqua massage or something!

Negative experience: Don't pay so much. I recommend checking out LA fitness before you sign up here, it is way better in all sense

Fantastic experience: Favorite 24hr gym in the city. Great women's section

Positive experience: Could be cleaner but it's an alright gym for a quick workout.

Positive experience: A woman's only location with the RCSS. All of the women's clubs are usually smaller with minimal amount of equipment. if you are looking for a location where you can do studio classes and get in some cardio and the circuit then you are set. if you are looking for all the bells and whistles you are better off visiting a normal location that has the women's only section.

Fantastic experience: I'm very happy at this gym. It is smaller but it's never overly crowded and has all the samenities selection of equipment as other good life's. It's women's only atmosphere makes me feel very comfortable and the staff are very friendly. The only thing I wish they had was a sauna

Negative experience: way too small. very disappointing.

Positive experience: Work out at your own pace Has a relaxed no rush atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Very nice and comfortable place to workout

Negative experience: Was disappointed to know it was women's only. Didn't know until I got there. No signage indicating that it wasn't coed

Fantastic experience: Really like this gym☺ Staff is really friendly and supportive and the Zumba class was so much fun and a great workout!!

Positive experience: Very small location with not much equipment.

Positive experience: Smaller gym but ample equipment, can get a little busy

Fantastic experience: All woman, did not smell like sweat, went at 5:30 and it wasn't crowded, the group workout studio is large and well ventilated

Fantastic experience: Very nice place to work out

Negative experience: LABEL IT AS FOR WOMEN ONLY. went there looking at bloody Google and turns out women only??? Bloody label it so then instead of wasting my time!
