GoodLife Fitness Kingston Barrack and Wellington

Expérience positive: Nice gym, but the music is way too loud sometimes. I used to go to Masonville goodlife in London, Dougall goodlife in Windsor both for quite a long time. Neither plays very loud music, or would turn it down when its less busy. But here even though theres no members inside very late like 1am 2am, the music still does not seem to be turned down. Would it be beneficial to save some electric bills? I dont really know, but it's kinda disturbing for me to enjoy my own music personally. Overall, nice gym.

Expérience fantastique: My son went in for a workout while we were visiting Kingston and he said that it was one of the best gyms that he’s been to. That’s coming from a guy that goes almost daily and has visited quite a few across Canada.

Expérience fantastique: I love this gym and everyone who works here

Expérience positive: This goodlife is generally worse than most I’ve been to elsewhere. It has less space, less equipment but staff are friendly. Price is also increasing yearly.

Expérience fantastique: Great gym, seldom have to wait for equipment. Clean showers and sauna. Friendly staff. Long time member

Expérience fantastique: I was a loyal member of this gym for two years. My partner has been a loyal member of this gym for twenty years. It was situated within a 15 minute run from my house. Arguably, this run is more arduous when the road is laden with ice and snow. My quads would go numb after 10 minutes, despite my cadence. Thankfully the gym was well heated in the Winter and there was plenty of people working out there to produce natural heat. I would routinely warm-up on the stairmaster next to my friend who wore a thermal sweatsuit to complete 45 minutes on the elliptical machine. Indubitably, he knew a lot about thermal metabolism. The second floor is where all the weights are featured. It's very spacious, so you never feel claustrophobic during rush hour. Unfortunately, NHL players don't routinely work out here during the off-season, because they have private training camps hosted by Kirk Mueller. He's an iconic Legend who played 19 seasons with Les Canadiens. He has a property in Kingston and sometimes enjoys kebabs on Princess Street. It's certainly a Small World

Expérience fantastique: Soo much better than the gym on base haha Also I had to cancel because of the bridge and it took 5 min via chat, a super easy process. I will 100% use them agaon once the bridge is back up. If I could give 6 stars I would.

Expérience négative: Facilities are alright however there is no free parking. Membership fees are quite expensive and the lack of on site parking has led to us cancelling our memberships.

Expérience fantastique: Best gym of the Canada

Expérience négative: some good life staff at this location and from head office often will lie about the policies. i have called and asked to speak to the manager and acording to some new policy they cant tell me if hes here to put me through.I called back another day and hey told me the manager was off for the day. but i thought their policy restricated them from saying if somone is there or not. some staff will be friendly while others wont say hello or goodbye. Also they will lie to you about prices and things they can or cant do. i have been going here for 10 years and these issues have become very apparent in the past 2 years. will no longer be going there which is sad and unfortunate

Expérience fantastique: The place was great. Priyanka, our waitress, was really helpful and guided us thoroughly. Food was great, especially the sandwiches. Must visit!!

Expérience positive: Pretty good gym overall. Lots of great equipment and the trainers are great. The only issue is the layout of the place. The locker rooms are upstairs off to the corners and the gym is located on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the building. So as you can imagine with heavy weights being thrown around, the ground shakes a lot. I would suggest consulting a civil / structural engineer to see if damping can be applied to the supports of the building where the deadlift/squat racks are to eliminate the intense shaking. Or if possible to relocate to another place where it’s 1st floor would be even better.

Expérience fantastique: ✌️

Expérience négative: Hostile admin staff (Brodie). Love the hot yoga though.

Expérience fantastique: Rachelle at the front is the best GoodLife employee at this location

Expérience positive: Nice staff and gym but should be updated a bit..

Expérience fantastique: Every GoodLife should be like this one. The only real issue is parking, but that has more to deal with Kingston than Goodlife.

Expérience positive: Great little gym. The layout is a bit unusual, but that adds to the charm

Expérience positive: A good setup especially the sets for the 20 minute workouts. It is located downtown so parking is a extra cost!

Expérience positive: Great facility & staff!!!....but stop the members texting while on the exercise equipment!!....they tie up the machines way to long!!

Expérience fantastique: Nice goodlife location but no free public parking from Mon-Sat.

Expérience négative: I want to cancel my membership, but I can’t, because I need to give them 30 day notice. I have to pay for another 2 weeks in order to quit… it’s a scam for me. If I don’t pay they will destroy my credit score. They don’t have any reason to do it. I don’t recommend GoodLife and doesn’t matter what location, their contract is designed to scam people. In addition, they have bugs in a shower that no one cleans. And on my last visit someone stole my water bottle.

Expérience positive: I've been a member for 15 plus years at this location. The gym etiquette here is continually getting worse. Members not putting weights away, Not wiping down their equipment after done with it and dropping of weights. It's a great gym, with some great staff, but the policing of members not following the basic decency/rules shouldn't be the responsibility of members to remind/enforce these simple things. Hopefully this will motivate this gym to get back to the way it use to be Thankyou for taking the time to read this

Expérience fantastique: Great gym! The only thing I have to say is I’ve found an increasing amount people leaving the equipment they were using without unracking their weights (which makes it look like someone is using it when they’re not), and not wiping off their equipment after use. I think there should be some sort of gym etiquette lesson when giving gym tours to newcomers, or something of the like.

Expérience fantastique: One of the nicest gyms around. The equipment are top notch, members are respectful and staff are friendly. I've been to other Goodlife's around any most have a cold atmosphere...But not in Kingston

Expérience positive: Not the gyms fault I don’t think, but there’s no free parking during the day. Gym is smaller by GoodLife standards. Also lots of stairs, there’s probably an elevator but if there isn’t, not very accessible.

Expérience fantastique: Andrew the handsome nice gentleman was very polite and welcoming when I came in. I had told Andrew I was down for the day in Kingston looking for a place to workout as I may be moving to Kingston to train the military and was looking for a gym to have some privacy away from my usual setting on base. He demonstrated excellent customer service and I will be back to enjoy my pumps at GoodLife :)

Expérience positive: Best part is the staff

Expérience fantastique: Gorgeous gym amazing equipment very friendly staff and very clean gym

Expérience négative: Staff aren't wearing their masks half the time, no cleaning machines, paper towel dispenser empty so machines def aren't getting cleaned. Basically a frathouse now, just renewed membership gonna cancel.

Expérience positive: People that work there are great. The facility needs a bit of an upgrade and the change rooms need a good clean.

Expérience négative: Nice gym with no staff or management. Once a week they will close the gym without notice because they “don’t have staff to work” It’s definitely not 24/7 as they advertise.

Expérience fantastique: High quality machines, friendly staff and trainers and the place is always spotless and clean. Everyone here respects the equipment and sanitizes after them selves in addition to cleaning from the staff. Expensive but worth it considering the above

Expérience fantastique: Brodie was great helped us out and made a great experience!

Expérience fantastique: Really friendly staff, well maintained + clean gym, good community.

Expérience fantastique: Great staff, equipment is good and the atmosphere is excellent.

Expérience fantastique: Always so clean and organized. I have amazing PTs who keep me accountable. Love this gym! Also appreciate how Linda greets everyone with a smile.

Expérience fantastique: Karla is the best fitness coach and instructor ever!! Staff is super helpful ! This gymn will get you back on track!!

Expérience fantastique: A combination of quality equipment, diverse class offerings, spacious & naturally lit upper floor, and friendly staff make this the best gym in Kingston. Note the sign indicating that doing curls while occupying the squat rack is an irritating inconvenience for actual lifters - if only more places had these! Particular thanks to Jill who remained patient and helpful while dealing with technical issues at the sign-in desk. This location is also back to full 24/7 availability now that pandemic restrictions are being lifted again (not including the usual stat holidays). Overall 10/10 would recommend to fitness beginners and gym rats alike

Expérience fantastique: Great gym. I love that one lady who works at the front desk, she has shoulder length grey hair. She is lovely, everybody likes her and I always look forward to seeing her. Great attitude. The classes are also excellent. 10/10 overall. I like that they require the vaccine passport.

Expérience positive: They charge you too much for the equipment they have. Nice staff and i think it.

Expérience négative: They changed from walk-in to the booking system today. I was not sent any email making this apparent. I walked a total of 40 mins to walk there from school then back home. It's really unprofessional to do that. The equipment is what saves this gym from being given a 1 star.

Expérience positive: I've been coming here for years! The staff here is friendly and welcoming, and the equipment is fantastic. However, I can't stand this gym as of late (and this is not Goodlife's fault). I would highly recommend avoiding this Goodlife during the Queens school year. Students have flocked to this gym and have definitely disrupted the workouts of regular gym goers. Some come in groups and use it as social time, leave gym bags all over the floor, do not wipe down equipment after use, and hoard equipment (4 sets of dumbbells for one person...). It's a shame that this is the only Goodlife in Kingston now... I may start looking into joining another gym in the downtown area.

Expérience négative: Joined this gym to avoid the restrictions on workout times at the ARC on Queen's campus. After a week they have changed to scheduled time slots without warning leaving us waiting outside for an hour and a half for the closest time slot. If warned I would have booked. Now all slots are time scheduled meaning everyone goes in at the same time wanting to start on the same piece of equipment, and only an hour before you have to leave again and wait outside 15 mins if you want to go again. I thought the queueing system was working fine, 10 mins max outside no faffing just turn up and go in for as long as you want. Now may as well of went to the ARC (for free) rather than paying the ridiculous $50 joining fee as well as bi-weekly payments. Equipment is great etc but being managed poorly.

Expérience négative: They scam people for money. I was charged in the middle of the pandemic for a month and a half (when my gym still was not open), when I asked for a refund and to cancel they said no but they will credit it to my account and freeze the account (only reason I agreed to have it frozen instead of canceled). My account was just unfrozen and they only credited me $17 instead of the $72. They have charged me again and now when I ask to cancel they say they are going to charge my account again before cancelling it. Horrible service, bunch of con artists. All their reviews on Facebook say the same.

Expérience fantastique: Josh is an excellent personal fitness instructor at the Kingston Goodlife who I highly recommend. My expectations were exceeded with his fitness plan to get me started at the gym, and he helped me feel comfortable returning to my workouts after recovering from an injury, with expert knowledge in mind/body connection and teaching which muscles I was using in each specific work out.

Expérience fantastique: Great gym with friendly staff and really kind and knowledgeable fitness instructors. Fellow patrons are respectful and keep to themselves. Paid parking isn't great but if you go early enough, you can avoid having to pay. It's also BUSY but the space is large enough to accommodate the numbers.

Expérience fantastique: Staff here are great!

Expérience fantastique: I have been a member at GoodLife for around 6 years now and have been to many locations, the staff at this location is the best I have ever experienced!! They're always so happy and make my mornings that much better; Linda is one of the sweetest ladies I have met and always knows how to make people smile! Shoutout to the staff at this goodlife!!!

Expérience fantastique: Very clean, lots of options and friendly staff

Expérience fantastique: Amazing staff, lots of squat racks, great place to work out at, highly recommended

Expérience fantastique: Great gym. Lots of squat racks

Expérience fantastique: This place got me in shape to walk to lake town. Luckily, they had a GoodLife there that I could continue to use!

Expérience fantastique: I wanted to write this review highlighting some of the staff. With all this craziness going on with masks, etc- it is very difficult to have meaningful human interactions. The staff at this Goodlife are all very warm hearted+ welcoming, and even greeted me at the door by my name. It may not seem like a lot, BUT these gestures do go a long way for me. Keep up the great customer service so the people of Kingston can continue to be healthy and happy !!!

Expérience fantastique: Great gym with a great response to COVID-19. Training is much easier here than the ARC at the current COVID 19 phase.

Expérience fantastique: Great staff...si friendly.... Large open spaces..

Expérience positive: Fitness

Expérience positive: Average location

Expérience négative: High prices

Expérience positive: I like the gym, but bringing in a guest is expensive and an administratively painful. I likely won't bring a guest again as a result.

Expérience négative: "TJ" has single-handedly turned a pleasant workout experience to one where I'm treated with hostility. In the future, I will try to book my workouts to avoid this problem employee.

Expérience négative: Most rude and accusative staff of any club I've been to. Disappointed that politeness doesn't come with the membership.

Expérience positive: The equipment is for most part is new and in good condition. Staff and members are friendly and respectful. I would recommend to friends.

Expérience négative: Showers need to be upgraded ASAP! There also needs to be a established parking lot for the gym. Lcbo and food basics has one, why not goodlife?

Expérience positive: Just came to the Barrack Street goodlife after the Norwest Plaza location closed. Classes are great fitness instructors are great. Very glad we have the weights and the steps from our Norwest location, the equipment we had at Norwest is pretty new. The equipment at Barrack St. was pretty old. The people at Barrack Street are really friendly and welcoming. The only downside of the classes is the room acoustics are very bad, can't hear a thing the instructors say, , like being in a barn with the echo, I just have to watch the instructors movements to follow the routine. Hope this issue gets fixed

Expérience négative: Awful service ever! I moved to another city and one of the factors to choose my new place there is its proximity to the gym. When i went to switch my membership to the club there, they said sorry you can’t do that because we are closing and fit4less will open instead. When i called the customer service to explain that i can’t go to the other club in the downtown because it is quite far driving and i would like to end my membership, they said it is not our problem you have to pay the membership cancellation penalty! It is not my fault! why i should pay for that!!

Expérience fantastique: A gym that operates like a gym not like a social club like the Norwest one

Expérience fantastique: Excellent service wow clean place all excellent sports machine coach excellent classes hotyoga kick and Punch excellent couch people friendly nice likeable

Expérience négative: Old machines and nothing special gym

Expérience positive: Great gym. Not crowded.

Expérience positive: Good club other than lack of parking

Expérience positive: Flexible hours and a good membership price. Tons of equipment and classes. And they just redid the whole floor!

Expérience positive: Neat and clean ... helpful staff and a brand new paint job...music is set for those under 25 ,too bad,a lot of good tunes missed from the 30's to the 80's...earplugs help.

Expérience fantastique: great gym! super friendly staff. Very knowledgeable.

Expérience fantastique: Really great gym. Lots of machines, free weights and racks. Whole floor for cardio. Great staff and facilities. Recently resurfaced the floors.

Expérience fantastique: Great club. Would be even better if it were truly 24/7, or stayed open until 10 on Saturday/Sunday. However, staff are very friendly, and the recent flooring/paint updates are great. This is one of the roomiest clubs in the country, with lots of studio space, any cardio machines, and tons of weight machine and free weight room. 6 squat racks plus two Smith machines, and multiple dumbbell sets, mean you don't have to wait around very often.

Expérience fantastique: This gym is amazing! Always so clean and well maintained. Friendly staff and the weights were always put back! The bigger clubs in the bigger cities could learn a lot from a gym like this.

Expérience fantastique: Nice place to get strong and fit

Expérience fantastique: Beau gym bon poids!

Expérience fantastique: This is great gym with two floors, one dedicated for cardio and group classes, and upstairs is where to find the IRON, lots of machines and free weights. I have been a member for over 15 years and the staff has always been friendly and helpful.

Expérience fantastique: Large gym with lots of free weights

Expérience fantastique: Massive gym spread over 2 floors with ample equipment both free weights and machines and a good amount of cardio machines. The best Goodlife I've been to anywhere.

Expérience fantastique: Facility is great...clean, well maintained machines, friendly staff

Expérience fantastique: This is a great gym. The staff has always been friendly over the years and the layout is logical and not cramped like other gyms. There is sufficient workout equipment that even during the busy times I have not had to wait to use anything. The classes are really fun too especially with a nice variety to choose from including hot yoga. Lastly the patrons of this gym are on average very friendly so you won’t find people getting in your way. If you live downtown I think this is *the* place to work out.

Expérience fantastique: One of the best gyms I've ever been too. The layout of it is a plus. So many gyms have the open concept idea which I'm not fond of, but this gym is unique. I like the two level idea. The staff are also really friendly and the instructors are so helpful. Best place to workout. Thanks!

Expérience fantastique: When I joined up at this gym a year ago the vibe was bad and the gym looked "tired"... Fast forward to now and the new manager has had a tremendous impact on the moral of the club as well as the new upgrades have really increased the aesthetic appeal, modernizing it even! Best gym in Kingston!

Expérience positive: 一般性的健身房沒有什麼特別

Expérience positive: Big but a little run-down

Expérience positive: Well equipped facility.

Expérience fantastique: Usually not that busy here. Big and open space.

Expérience positive: Decent sized facility but it’s an old building. Smells linger in the carpet

Expérience positive: Wish they had a public wifi so I could listen to music on Google Play music without using data

Expérience positive: Variety of classes offered included in the membership price. Building is a little bit outdated but the equipment is good for any kind of workout. Have to pay for parking during business hours.

Expérience positive: Well equipped and spacious gym with a wide range if equipment, fitness classes. Main downer: constant pop music without much appeal among Boomers/GenXers

Expérience positive: Great gym. The comments about yoga crotch, smelly carpets, and a corrupt manager have been exaggerated. The first floor does smell a little sweaty, but as it is the main cardio area, this is normal. The upstairs (which contains the majority of free weights, change rooms, and hot yoga studio doesn't smell at all. Some of the equipment is dated compared to some other Goodlife locations, but all is in general working order, and the general manager is actually super nice (I was told that the last manager had been replaced with this one not too long ago). Even during peak times you generally don't need to wait for stations as there are ample lifting racks, dumbbells, cable machines etc. The staff is also very friendly and attentive. One complaint I have is more about the customers than anything else since people don't always put things back and you can find yourself looking around for certain weights or having to pull them off of machines because the last user didn't put them back. But that is pretty normal in a lot of places...sadly.

Expérience positive: I visited from St. Catharines I agree with comments about smelly carpet. It's horrendous! It's has to go! Staff was friendly. I really dislike the lack of free parking available for gym members. It can add up if you are a regular.

Expérience fantastique: Wish it was 24/7

Expérience fantastique: Usually not that busy here. Big and open space.

Expérience fantastique: Great

Expérience fantastique: Love this place...!! Everything about it... I mean everything !
