GoodLife Fitness Markham Bullock and McCowan For Women

Expérience fantastique: It is good for customers because everything is on the shelves. Fresh and tidy.

Expérience fantastique: I started personal training at this gym with Ana as my trainer a month ago and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Ana is super knowledgeable and really knows how to cater to your specific fitness goals to get the best results. I’m very pleased with my progress thus far and feel confident to start going to the gym on my own. If you want a committed, encouraging, reliable and kind personal trainer then book with Ana!! Would highly recommend to anyone trying to start their fitness journey :)

Expérience fantastique: Being able to go to a women only gym is great and I hope they keep it open when the new one opens. Friendly staff, clean space and no big, sweaty men!!!

Expérience négative: It’s very disappointing that I’m paying huge fees for equipment that does not get fixed in a reasonable time. The virtual class system has been down for weeks. Many of us like to use this (since we pay for the use in our fees), and to have it broken for weeks is completely inexcusable. GoodLife should have a 48 hour max window for equipment that is broken. It’s getting ridiculous. As I’m reading the response below, I feel that it’s Goodlife’s responsibility to inform its members how long the equipment will be out. To continue to ask the front desk and receive “I don’t know”, is ineffective and inefficient. If a work order was placed then you should know when the part will arrive. So at least own up to taking more responsibility towards your members and being transparent. ***NEW***** April 24th Equipment is still “broken”. No answers from staff as they “don’t know”. Rumours circulating that equipment won’t be fixed because of the new location opening up. Absolutely unacceptable, ZERO transparency for members!! This type of equipment is what members pay to use in their fees. Many members are upset about this.

Expérience fantastique: I had amazing time coming to this club, The staff is wonderful and easy to talk too. I met a sweet lady name Kim at the front desk and she just made my first time welcoming and comfortable. Coming to an all women's club is an amazing thing, walking in with confidences and not feeling like people are judging you is the best feeling ever.

Expérience négative: I just called to find out about daily pricing because I know with my hectic schedule that I can’t commit to becoming a member. Whoever answered the phone was very rude and unprofessional. Thank you for convincing me in less than a minute to not spend my money here.

Expérience négative: The mature employee/trainer there is not very friendly, she will scold you for “taking too long on the machines”, even though I haven’t even been there more than 15 minutes? I was quite polite to her too and actually wouldn’t have minded taking a shorter time if she had asked nicely but she was quite rude from the start. Kind of unprofessional, and her attitude really ruined my experience there and it doesn’t make me feel as welcome as I had hoped this place to be. It’s unfortunate

Expérience fantastique: I've been a member for a year now. It's my escape and zen place. I wished they had more barbell racks...other than that, the place is kept clean and machines are in excellent working condition.

Expérience fantastique: Really enjoying the fact that it is women only, very comfortable therw

Expérience fantastique: I don’t often leave reviews, but I thought after reading the last review about pushy behaviour on training, I should leave my experience. I went in today for the first time as I did my membership online. I’m actually familiar with this gym - I’ve been a yo yo gym goer for at least 10 +years, and never had an issue. I went in and I was immediately greeted with a warm Hello by Samantha. She was sooooo nice, made me feel comfortable and sat down for a quick on-boarding with no pressure at all. She asked me what my goals were, what I was interested in and even gave me some advice to help me with my issues. When she did speak about the training part- there was absolutely no pressure! She said I was welcome to join her group if I wanted and didn’t push me at all into anything else. She gave me a tour so I’d know where everything is and welcomed me aboard. I had a great experience and know that if I need any help they are there for me:) …Side note : I read the Trainers profile in the change room and it was great because I was also able to see all the backgrounds, their own issues and triumphs over the years - definitely worth checking it out!

Expérience fantastique: Great club, friendly staff at front desk, always greeting me when I walk in. A great place for women to work out. Totally recommend!

Expérience positive: love the gym itself but the changing room/washrooms need a serious upgrade. its disgusting back there please renovate it or something. theres also a loud static noise in the changerooms area and they dont actually have rooms for you to change, just like a curtain and basically a hole in the wall. management pls update ur change rooms lol

Expérience négative: 7 am starting time for women's location is assuming women are not working! Opening hours should atleast be 6 am if not 5 am! Very restricted timings. Women's only locations need to truly care for women which means looking at expanding opening times.

Expérience fantastique: I love coming to this location! It’s always so clean and the staff is so friendly! The manager Melissa is always so sweet and always makes sure to check-in with members about how their fitness journey is going. The club is very large compared to most of the other for women locations and they have a lot of machines most don’t. I love coming here and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a friendly and safe gym.

Expérience négative: I'm not even sure where to start. All the staff care about is getting their commission and they will lie to you, make up policies etc just to get it. I switched to this Goodlife from the Markhville location solely for the benefit of working out without my headscarf. The problem is, this place is incredibly toxic! I was pestered by a number of trainers during the course of my time here about joining their training programme. I explained to every single one of them that I had already had three different inconsistent, unreliable trainers at my previous Goodlife who either quit or wouldn't show up half the time, and I was not interested in repeating that. Long story short, my friend who worked there eventually convinced me to take up a certain trainer who was supposedly very reliable, and committed. I eventually caved, and as anticipated, she quit less than a month into training, the second one I was allocated also quit within 2 weeks, and the third trainer I was assigned was not even at the level I had initially contracted for. From the beginning, they were charging me extra for sessions I haven't even used. They took a total of over $10K from me that was never reimbursed. I fought Goodlife for my money back for several months after that, but they never gave me a single penny. This was simply put, a bait and switch and of all the facilities that offer personal training, Goodlife is the worst of them. I later joined another gym in a location that was closer to me, and not ONE staffer ever approached me to ask me to join their personal training or harassed me into doing so. Goodlife is an incredibly toxic, unprofessional, invasive facility and of the 4 I attended over 10+ years, this location is the worst and I do not recommend anyone join.

Expérience positive: Love the place, friendly staff, clean environment. I have been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. Wish there was more equipment compared to the other locations in the area.

Expérience négative: Hands down the worst gym I have ever been to and it is because of the service. The lady at the front with glasses will convince you to get a membership (and cancel in 10 days) rather than actually give you a free trial. She asks very intrusive and uncomfortable questions and the service is not helpful, welcoming or warm. I will never be going back to this women's good life ever again. What a disappointment. I used to be loyal to good life before the pandemic.

Expérience fantastique: Love the place, friendly staff, clean environment. Not sure why there are such bad reviews, have been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience.

Expérience négative: Too small of a space

Expérience fantastique: I love that I finally found a gym I feel comfortable in!

Expérience fantastique: Returned to this location for my strength training camp last night. They have done an excellent job in ensuring clients are safe. Social distancing, limiting the number of members on the premises at any given time and thorough cleaning of all equipment. Special shout out to my trainer Maggie who gave thorough instructions and had everything set up so we can all safely get back to our regular workouts.

Expérience négative: They have child minding service, but always short of staff... you can see one staff with dozen kids in different age group, I would not recommend to send you kids there. It's quite dangerous that way.. one of the front desk girl was rude, the manager is new and insolent...

Expérience négative: I would avoid this location just to avoid having to deal with Lyana Sarmiento. I went in initially to ask if I can try the $14 for 14 days promo before purchasing a membership. She lied telling me that I should buy the membership that day as they had a $50 off promotion which was ending that day. She stated that she knew that the price was going up the day after. I went ahead and purchased the membership. Well, it's been way more than a few days and the promotion is still there. I contacted Goodlife's home office and they confirmed that the promotion is valid for the month which Lyana should have been aware of. It seems she was just trying to get her commission by getting me to become a member. She also tried persuading me to take advantage of the new member personal fitness trainer session for $60 which is apparently only available on the first day you register to become a member. I found out later that this was also false information. You don't even need to be a member to use their personal fitness trainers but she had told me that you did. I have heard of others who have had similar negative experiences with her in the past. The gym itself is great. I would just avoid interacting with Lyana if you were to visit this gym.

Expérience négative: I have been with Goodlife for over 5 years and I have never had such an awful experience with the staff there. The fitness manager, Steph, is completely unprofessional and rude. Their complaint process is ineffective. You just get passed around from person to person with no resolution. DO NOT sign up for personal training here. One of the worst experiences I've ever had. Management at that location needs to change immediately.

Expérience négative: GYM....the very first day when you went there for registration as a new customer they will welcome you like you are very very important for them. When you become a member and you are stuck with them for one year so all VIP services will be away.... I want to cancel my membership after one year and the staff was not helping me at all. Who says their staff is very helping? Not at all. They are very rude they don't care about you they just care about the money, never go to gym. The best is to have treadmill at home and make small gym at your home and workout, if people stop going there so they will realize and will change their crazy policy.

Expérience fantastique: staff is amazing. they are all very friendly and amazing. new management is great. Katherine is an amazing personal trainer. Lyana is always so helpful.

Expérience fantastique: This location is very friendly! I’m an active participant in TRX boot camp and I love it. I workout and travel with these ladies. I’ve made great friends over the years

Expérience positive: I really enjoy coming here to take classes, spin on the bike or enjoy some solo Pilates on the mat. I especially appreciate the Jump daycare program. Where else in the world can you pay $15 bi-weekly for 2 hours of great daycare. I can focus on myself so I can be the best for my son. Thank you GoodLife for offering anan accessib, affordable and welcoming environment where I can get and be well! From one grateful @healthconsciousmamma

Expérience fantastique: Amazing Service ! Would highly recommend this gym, as they have such compassionate staff that are so welcoming. Equipment is very well maintained. I am extremely glad that i signed up at this location. Abisha was so informative and helpful in giving the most accurate information when signing up and ensuring that all my needs were satisfied.

Expérience fantastique: Lyana was so helpful in giving me all the info I needed to start my fitness journey with GoodLife and I can’t wait to start seeing progress!! Loved how welcoming the gyms environment was as well!

Expérience fantastique: Definitely a 5/5 experience every time. I’ve never felt more comfortable in a gym environment. Huge thanks to the ladies here for helping me with my 1001 questions.

Expérience fantastique: This is an amazing gym! All the staffs are friendly and positive. There’s a sufficient amount of equipments for everyone. Everything is neat and tidy.

Expérience fantastique: I would highly recommend this gym! The energy in this gym is amazing and the staff are very positive!

Expérience fantastique: I have started coming to this gym for my workouts and I love it. The staff is so friendly and the gym is well equipped. I really appreciate the fact that this is a women only gym- as a woman who dons the hijab it's a major plus to workout with out the scarf! Highly recommend joining the classes that they offer too...my current fav is the soul Barre class :)

Expérience fantastique: Very happy and satisfied with this gym. It's very clean, the staff are very friendly, the gym is spacious and this place has a variety of equipment to use.

Expérience fantastique: The facility is tidy and organized, along with some very positive staff. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a place to work out and meet new people.

Expérience fantastique: Great club. The girls are helpful

Expérience fantastique: Katherine is a great trainer

Expérience fantastique: Amazing customer service. Staff is very friendly and environment is clean. I am very happy that I signed up with this location.

Expérience positive: Different class offerings..can't wait to try them out.

Expérience fantastique: This gym is had very friendly staff and service. Abisha is very friendly and outgoing and always has a smile on her face. Very clean environment. I am very happy that I signed up to this gym!

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been coming to this club for a while now, it’s been one of my favourite. Not only are the staff members super friendly but they are also professional and help motivate progress. I also leave my child in the Child minding they have on site and the ladies watching the children create an amazing atmosphere for my Little one, not only does she love going there but loves the activities they do with the children on a regular basis. I’d recommend this club to anyone who is looking for a comfortable and super friendly environment to work out in.

Expérience négative: The staff is very rude and not friendly at all

Expérience négative: One star for its segregated policy.

Expérience positive: This GoodLife fitness centre is located at Loblaws. It is very convenient for customers because they can do grocery shopping and fitness training altogether at one place. This place is a women's only club. Therefore, it is resticted to a specific gender.

Expérience positive: Often there is no one at the front desk and while some people are very pleasant, some are curt and abrupt when speaking to you. The gym is good enough for a workout but looks a bit run down in places. One note: the yoga class is great!

Expérience négative: I hate writing reviews, but I felt the need to do so for this gym. I use this gym because it's the only all women's location close to where I live. I've been using it since 2012. I love some of the employees, super nice and very welcoming. Over the years, however, I have noticed that certain employees are extremely rude, especially new personal trainers. They do not like you using some equipment or doing certain exercises because it "disturbs their current client." It's a gym, there is bound to be noise. And as for the equipment, if I have a membership, all equipment is fair game unless it is being used. And all space is fair game, unless it is being used. The trainers at this gym need to understand that.

Expérience fantastique: Great! Although, I couldn't workout since this is a womens only... Please save yourself the embarrassment and go to markville mall.

Expérience positive: I've been coming here for 9 years. I love the atmosphere of a women's only club, however, during peak hours it is almost impossible to find a machine (cardio or strength) or a spot on the mats. The staff are friendly and always helpful.

Expérience fantastique: A great place to workout! The staff are all friendly and helpful, and the classes are so much fun!

Expérience négative: Ancient machines and limited amount.

Expérience positive: No bench press.

Expérience négative: Rude trainers.

Expérience négative: Did not receive adequate personal training sessions, and was given a contract offer that I did not ask for.

Expérience positive: The group exercise room could use a renovation. It feels dated and the floors get so dirty! That said, I enjoy doing BodyFlow classes here and love that the gym is women's only. I do wish that the group room was also a bit bigger and that there were more visible mirrors - as the room is crowded with fans and equipment that make it hard to see yourself during practice.

Expérience positive: Went to activate three visit trial. Staff did not know the terms and conditions stated on the website had to personally explain it to them wasted a good chunk of time. Staff will always hide in the managers office. Customer service is alright but not very polite. Not too busy, especially in the hour before closing.

Expérience négative: No bench press, and one squat rack that GoodLife trainers like to sit in to train their clients. Incompetent and rude. A joke and an insult to people who are serious about working out. I'd avoid it. Enterprise and Markville are exceptional locations, and this one is just exceptionally bad.

Expérience positive: Women's-only gym located inside Loblaws. Very friendly staff and service. Zumba classes in the morning tend to be more crowded than the afternoon session.

Expérience positive: Quiet during the afternoon. Small size classes

Expérience positive: Good place

Expérience négative: Closed too early

Expérience négative: So bad serves .i had made appointment for 7pm,but I need wait for 1hour.no one ask me ,just stand in front the desk.
