GoodLife Fitness Scarborough Select and Markham

Expérience fantastique: I recommend everyone with Salman as their personal trainer, he is great at motivating you and he gives great tips for whatever goals you are trying to achieve

Expérience fantastique: The staff is really nice and helpful

Expérience fantastique: The staff is very friendly and the gym is decent size with enough space and equipment

Expérience négative: Chaotic !! Weights all over the place, tissues on the ground .. nobody even bothers emptying trash pins ..stinky washrooms. Only go there when I’m working in Scarborough as it’s the only branch around.

Expérience négative: I'm happy that I'm leaving goodlife for good and came to know that many others are also leaving. Also time for front desk staff to act friendly with regulars as well not just with new clients where they get chance to upsell. This location needs a major upgrade for the price they are charging or it's gone. There are better gyms out there with modern equipment and vibe.

Expérience négative: supervisor not professional

Expérience négative: The staff are literally so depressed at this location, they take out their frustration of their own poor life choices on the members. Not to mention this is one of the smallest locations with 0 amenities.

Expérience fantastique: Top gym

Expérience positive: Paper towels always empty, no tissues/paper towels in change rooms. 2/4 stairs machine working. Big TV is the saving grace.

Expérience fantastique: Best experience so far. Mr.Shoron, the(motivator) was really kind and gentle and made sure I got a 10/10 service. All the amenities were well explained and the entire experience was transparent. I had many bad experiences from other Canadian Gym companies and this mitigated the negatives. Will recommend!!

Expérience négative: I recently joined GoodLife Fitness at a new location and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. Upon my first visit, I requested a tour of the facility to familiarize myself with the amenities. The manager simply told me to look around and left me to find everything on my own, which was frustrating. I also inquired about personal training services and was not given clear information. Despite the website stating that a complimentary session with a fitness trainer is included upon joining, I was told otherwise. The assistant manager, Alex, informed me that nothing is free and dismissed the complimentary session as part of my paid sessions. This was contradictory to what was advertised and led to confusion and dissatisfaction. Additionally, when I decided to cancel my sessions and transfer to another location, the response from the staff was unprofessional. Alex’s dismissive attitude and comments about needing the money or transferring sessions were unhelpful and left a negative impression. While GoodLife Fitness offers great facilities, this specific location fell short in terms of customer service and clear communication. I suggest researching and visiting different locations to find one that meets your expectations for both service and amenities

Expérience fantastique: Some of these 1-star reviews are equal parts genuinely hilarious and slightly concerning lol Trust me, I've shopped my fair share of GoodLifes, PF's, F4L, F45, Fit Factory - you name it, I've been there, and this location deserves at least, like....4.3 stars. Been here for a few months, and the space + service combined have been nothing but stellar. I've met at least 7 - 8 people both from Front Desk and PT and they've been friendly and courteous. The people at the gym, well most of them (y'all know how that can go lol) were all nice, politely asking if they can work in a set, being respectful of the space, smiling, quickly nodding then looking away if you make awkward eye contact etc. Every time I've been to the washrooms, they're clean, the machines haven't given me any problems or impeded my performance/form, and the space is always stocked with hygiene equipment. The ONLY issue, and this is just me being whiney, is that there's no elevator for when you go HAM on leg day, but c'est la vie. Butt when you use the stairs, you get stares, and I'm not tryna hide my booty gains! >< The space is a bit smaller than the GL on Kennedy (which also has great service), but it's not claustrophobic or outdated by any means. If you want the Equinox experience, pay the Equinox price at another place or deal with it :P Anyways, gtg, have to meet the PT at 6 sharp for torture, byeeeee o/

Expérience fantastique: Nice gym Shoron at the front counter is very nice and helpful Glad to be member of this gym

Expérience fantastique: Ordered a large batch, probably the best South Asian catering service with actual authentic spices, instead of the colored food you get at restaurants

Expérience fantastique: I met Shoron at front desk. He is amazing guy. Guided us well. Overall experience is wonderful.

Expérience positive: Good equipments and very friendly staffs. I would like to recommend other fitness centres, Because they are very expensive. Almost every fitness centres provide same equipments .

Expérience positive: Not much equipment just dumbbells,bench,deadlifts,chess press,lats if your paying 100+ go to LA fitness theres more experience people in that gymnasium. There are experience people here everyone is friendly. Mainly the equipment is the issue

Expérience fantastique: Had an Amazing experience with Shoron, helped us a lot with getting done with membership process smoothly. Went out of the way to help, very generous, making everyone’s experience good at Good Life at Select ave/ Markham. Thank you Once again Shoron !

Expérience fantastique: In January of 2023 I was the heaviest I had ever been in my entire life, and I had told myself it was over...impossible. Then one day a good friend of mine took a financial risk and got himself a trainer and mentioned that it was helping him, both physically and mentally. So, I made up my mind and walked into Goodlife and talked to Wais about my goals. He told me with confidence that he would help change my life. At the time I was a bit hesitant, I had heard those words before, but I decided that this was my last chance to live a better life, so I agreed to a one year commitment to workout with Wais. It wasn't easy, I was tired and hungry, I was exhausted before getting into the gym, and dead tired afterwards. But 1 month turned into 3, which then turned into 6, and eventually a year has passed. My whole life when into a complete transformation. From 360lbs to 229lbs, from depressed to positivity... from surviving every day to living my life every day. After 12 months he kept his word, he changed my life. Wais and the staff are some of the warmest, kindest and knowledgeable people. I was lucky to have been surrounded by Wais and the staff who were nothing but encouraging. Sometimes, it takes a little faith, some inspiration and a lot of discipline. Just remember that it's progress over perfection. Thank you to all the staff at Goodlife Select/Markham for saving me from myself.

Expérience négative: I have been a member at GoodLife Fitness for a few months now, and unfortunately, my experience has been far from satisfactory. Here are the major issues I've encountered: Temperature Issues: The gym is consistently too hot. The high temperature makes it unbearable to work out, and I often feel like passing out, especially when doing squats. This is a serious safety concern that needs to be addressed immediately. Cleanliness and Organization: The gym is a mess. Weights are littered everywhere because people do not put them back after use. This not only creates a hazardous environment but also makes it difficult to find the equipment I need. The staff needs to enforce gym etiquette and ensure that members are putting their weights away. Odour: The gym has a very unpleasant smell that hits you as soon as you walk in. This issue has persisted despite my hopes that it would improve over time. A more ac and better ventilation are desperately needed. Overall, the lack of proper temperature control, poor cleanliness, and bad odour make working out at GoodLife Fitness a highly unpleasant experience. I hope the management takes these issues seriously and implements necessary improvements for the well-being of all members.

Expérience négative: **Atmosphere and Cleanliness:** The gym has a noticeable odor that affects the overall atmosphere. Improving ventilation and maintaining cleanliness could enhance the environment significantly. **Ambiance:** The current ambiance feels quite depressing. Incorporating better lighting, lively music, and updated decor might create a more inviting and motivating space. **Community:** The general demeanor of the people at the gym is off-putting.

Expérience fantastique: My experience at this location has always been delightful. Yesterday, I went to restart my membership, once again, the service was great. The employee Shoron helped me through all of it graciously! The gym was well maintained and clean.

Expérience fantastique: Jerome is super friendly and has an Amazing attitude! He always greets all members with a smile. He always makes me feel welcomed. I always like dealing with him.

Expérience négative: Worst gym ever , not enough space and very less machines , staff is also rude , don’t come ever in rush ever best gym to go is a kennedy lawerence location

Expérience fantastique: Good ppl. Good equipment. Reasonably clean all the time. Prefer to go early morning though to avoid a crowd.

Expérience négative: Been with these guys for 10 to 15 years. Honestly they have zero customer service. The place doesn't get cleaned often. For what they are asking you to pay you can get better deal somewhere else

Expérience positive: Nice place, but the wait time is too much, over crowded

Expérience fantastique: Shoron was very helpful and helped us select the right plan

Expérience fantastique: Small gym, wouldn’t want to be here during peak hours, but space was clean and tidy. Machines are all in working order and staff was great.

Expérience fantastique: Shoron did an amazing job on guiding us for our kick-start journey for fitness!!! We appreciate his time and efforts!!

Expérience fantastique: I've been training with Salman Shaikh at GoodLife Fitness for several months now, and I couldn't be happier with the results. His personalized approach to training goes beyond just exercise – he also provides invaluable nutritional guidance and meal plans tailored to my goals and lifestyle. Salman's expertise in creating balanced and sustainable nutrition strategies has been instrumental in my journey towards improved endurance and weight loss. He's not only knowledgeable and motivating during our workouts but also attentive to my dietary needs and challenges. With his comprehensive approach to fitness, I've seen remarkable progress and feel more confident in my overall health and well-being. I highly recommend Salman to anyone looking to reach their fitness goals effectively, both in the gym and in the kitchen.

Expérience fantastique: Besides the staff being friendly and professional, the personal training staff are phenomenal. I have been training with Alex for many years. We've trained together through my pregnancies and postpartum. He adjusts my workouts based on my physical condition each session and motivates me to achieve new goals. With his guidance and programming, I have been able to build on strength, form, and confidence in my lifts. His knowledge in various mobility exercises has helped me address my hip/knee pain and muscle imbalances. The personal trainers here are knowledgeable, motivating, supportive, and client focused. I would highly recommend.

Expérience positive: Small as compared to others, no hot tub. Less facilities.

Expérience fantastique: Shoron been very helpful with the membership process. Would recommend him 100%.

Expérience positive: I started coming to Diane’s yoga class 2 months ago. She really focuses on form and I love her teaching style! The class is awesome!

Expérience fantastique: I love the detailed instructions of this yoga class. I'm learning to do the poses correctly and I really appreciate the time and care that the instructor takes to make sure that my technique is correct.

Expérience négative: Very disappointed comparing from other GoodLife’s. Not very well maintained, outdated equipment, very dirty facility. Most members unaware of personal hygiene (B.O.)

Expérience fantastique: I love ALL the Group Fitness Classes at this location. Although I do wish there was more (especially on Fridays when there’s no classes at all). I see the usual attendees at the Group Fitness Classes so I’ve bonded with a few of them ..which is great as it keeps me motivated. Love the Body Balance class on Tuesdays . Michelle is an awesome instructor.. 5+ stars for her. Body Combat & Body Pump with Shoaib are awesome as well. And the new Zumba Class with Roderick rocks ! It’s a great addition to the list of Classes. Shoaib & Roderick are both amazing instructors. Staff at this location are always friendly and keeps the place tidy. Keep up the good work

Expérience fantastique: I've been coming to this location for years, and there's always one Good Life employee who goes above and beyond all our expectations, and that's none other than Tanisha. I really hope to see her become the GM for this location one day!

Expérience fantastique: Came in with a friend and he was going to buy a day pass but Shoron at the front desk gave him a guest pass for the day, letting him workout for free. He was very welcoming and helpful. Best service I’ve ever had at a goodlife.

Expérience négative: one time i was at the washroom. i noticed i guy took a pic from his iphone x on top of the washroom cabin . after investigating with goodlife stuff at that time i found that was one of goodlife's personal trainer. goodjob goodlife i was dressed up at that moment when he took the photo , otherwise the story would have been ended in my way

Expérience fantastique: Morning/early afternoon and night staff are pleasant and friendly. Don't know about them during peak times. Avoid 4-10pm on the weekdays at all costs, it's so terribly busy. Regular members at these times are all nice, considerate, and wipe their own sweat for the most part. Outside of peak times everything is usually clean. Peak times is a different beast. Dumbbell rack is always out of order, haven't seen it properly ordered in years. There are more dumbbells than there are spots on the rack for them and inevitably there will be a pair of 30s where the 55s should be. At least the abundance of dumbbells means you will probably get a pair of the weight you want at any time. Equipment is old for the most part but all functional and clean. It gets the job done. Wish they would bring in something new and shiny just for the novelty, but there would be nowhere to put a new machine or bench or rack. Membership is a little pricey because it has the Goodlife name on it but it's not the most expensive Goodlife I've had a membership to. Not really much competition in the area so this is the spot and that's why its so crowded sometimes.

Expérience positive: Decent gym but not 24 hours as they used to advertise. Gym is closed on statutory holidays and reopens at 5am the following day, therefore it’s not 24/7.

Expérience fantastique: Special thanks to FA Jensi and Shoron for being super friendly, caring and encouraging. You guys made my first fitness center experience an awesome one!

Expérience fantastique: Recommended by a friend. Great place. Just enough equipment. Met lively members, especially early mornings and late nights.

Expérience fantastique: I love this Good Life location. All workers are very friendly especially Shoron. He was calm and very friendly. I suggest this location to anyone who lives near Markham.

Expérience positive: It's a great goodlife location. Shoron, Yda, and Alex are really great employees at the Select location. They are part of the reason I go to that location. The only thing missing are some workout machines.

Expérience fantastique: I highly recommend this gym, especially if you're visiting from the States. Initially, I encountered challenges at another gym where the staff were unresponsive to my needs as a 24-hour gym member seeking a visitor pass. Feeling disheartened, I decided to try another gym, where Alex AGM and Jaensi welcomed me. Their assistance was a stark contrast to my prior experience, the one by birch mount and enterprise, where I felt that they were trying to hustle me and tell me visitors were only allowed if I pay a $25 daily fee to access the gym with my 24-hour membership. Bro, here the staff so much more willing to hear me out. Jaensi was particularly understanding, listened to my concerns, and provided a solution, which significantly improved my mood and rectified the unpleasant experience I had at the first gym. Furthermore, the gym itself is exceptional. It boasts a comprehensive range of equipment that is so well-maintained, one might think it's brand new. The locker rooms are consistently clean, and the atmosphere is welcoming, with fellow gym-goers focused on their workouts, respecting the space by cleaning the equipment after use. I definitely suggest giving this place a try or even switching your current gym membership to this location.

Expérience fantastique: my boyfriend and I are always greeted with a smile when we walk into the gym. Shoron is one of our favourite trainer, so bright and passionate about fitness ! No matter how busy it gets, the trainers are always so kind. Seriously recommend this gym

Expérience fantastique: The motivator Shoron is so good and always take care of the members.. Always found him whenever there is any query..Many people behave rudely with him still that guy responds with a smile.. Wont be surprised to see him as a manager soon...he deserves it..truly an asset of this branch..

Expérience fantastique: They fixed the lights in the cardio area, doing a great job fixing equipment when it gets broken, addresses issues promptly and professionally. Everyone here staff and members are friendly. Size of gym is a little small, no pool or jacuzzi and gets a bit busy during “rush hour” weekdays at around 5 pm, but overall great gym and highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: i was never an avid gym person until i met shoron and he changed my life for the good, and now i’m in the gym 4x a week! so shoutout for shoron for real!

Expérience fantastique: I have gone to a lot of goodlife clubs but so far this location has the best service. Went to this location once yesterday late night. Gym was small but was kept really clean. Most importantly, the employee- SHORON was super nice. Showed me the entire gym and was super respectful and knowledgeable. Great selection of employee and nice maintenance. Coming in this location again for sure!!!

Expérience fantastique: Came to the gym, it was properly kept. The receptionst was really polite. Shoron helped me try some new workout. Overall, nice experience for late night workout. Great service.

Expérience fantastique: ‘Visited the gym at midnight. It was clean and the staff Shoron was really good. Helped a lot. Great service and well trained overnight employee. Took the membership because of such nice behaviour of the guy and clean environment’

Expérience négative: The GoodLife workers, were absolutely no help during peak time. From 5-7pm… they don’t give proper information at all. Morning staff are great and very helpful. All around , this gym is too small and all the machines are cramped together. Not a fan at all

Expérience fantastique: Gets busy during “rush hour” from 5-7 pm on weekdays since it’s a smaller gym. However the staff and members are very friendly, supportive and inclusive. Great vibe. Staff respond to client concerns in a timely fashion. They’re building new food spots nearby. And they add and fix equipment when needed. No pool or hot tub, but there’s a sauna. Would recommend for locals or people passing by looking to improve their health or to be the best version of themselves!

Expérience fantastique: I love going to this gym and I’ve been training with Wais (personal trainer) for some time now. He’s always encouraging me to meet my goals and he has very good motivating approach. I’ve been seeing improvements and I feel much happier with my self making me feel more confident in how I look. He’s very knowledgeable, experienced and conducts workouts dedicated to my goals. Every session with him is very enjoyable and he makes it fun encouraging me to do the actual workout. Wais is definitely my favourite personal trainer and I highly recommend training with Wais!!

Expérience fantastique: Started going to this gym recently, and it's great! Vibrant atmosphere with friendly staff members.

Expérience négative: Overcrowded! Markville mall GoodLife is way better.

Expérience négative: Mens locker room not clean

Expérience négative: Worst service and impolite staff. Dont ever go there

Expérience fantastique: amazing service from jeff, who helped me get a membership

Expérience négative: Showers are extremely dirty with little bugs crawling all over. Probably a bed bug problem here.

Expérience fantastique: Great location. Jeff was really helpful getting a membership started for a family member.

Expérience positive: Good environment. Place has a bit less of open space. Is very busy throughout the day.

Expérience fantastique: Outstanding customer service from Jeffrey. Very professional, cordial and friendly. 10/10 experience. Would highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: It’s a really great gym, great staff and jeff is the best, if you are looking for a gym i’d suggest goodlife fitness

Expérience négative: Omg what a waste of time. The management and staff here need lessons in Time Management. Had an appointment to get a tour and potentially sign up. I was told that I can get a tour but can't get a pass because management wasn't in. Why make the appointment if you don't have the staff available?

Expérience fantastique: Of all the gyms here in Toronto, I like to workout better in this branch. The staff are all accommodating and helpful, especially Aimal.

Expérience fantastique: Jeff was very welcoming and helpful with assisting me on my membership. The other staff members were also really kind :) Would come back!

Expérience positive: I love this location. Plenty of space and lots of equipments for all types of workouts. Good friendly staffs.

Expérience fantastique: Jeff is awesome, super patient and knowledgeable. He walked me through all the different options and listened to what I was looking for with my fitness goals

Expérience positive: I only go past 10PM, specially for the night time staff, JR and Jerome. Personally from what I've seen, they are the only ones that are actually at the front desk, and are actually doing there night time duties.

Expérience négative: Very poor customer service, suanna is been broken 2 months, first excuse was parts not available then flood, to compensation should have to give access to other gyms but no Going to cancel my membership
