GoodLife Fitness Toronto Richmond and Bathurst

Expérience fantastique: Great place to train - everything you need!

Expérience fantastique: The staff and people here are very friendly and helpful, especially Michelle and Edric! Clean towels, clean environment and a good vibe. You’ve got all you need basically, love it!

Expérience fantastique: Great ambience, facilities and energetic instructors!

Expérience fantastique: Lynda gave to me best service for sure

Expérience fantastique: This place is like second home to me at this point. There's always a friendly community vibe created by the positive nature of everyone from novices to regular gym-goers. What makes this specific Goodlife stand out even more is the incredibly welcoming and helpful staff. Grace, Jalen, Michelle are the superstars here.

Expérience fantastique: If you're hesitant about trying a class, do it! I did my first one tonight with Jasmin, body combat. I'd heard some things about the possible attitude of the demographic at this gym that gave me pause but the location works for me. I'm a little older than the majority of the class was but was immediately welcomed by not only the instructor but the members around me. The class was high energy and fun, music was great! Jasmin would give me looks of encouragement and cheer me on without singling me out which felt nice. And by the end the people around me made sure to celebrate my completing my first class which was the icing on top. For someone who was so nervous, the feeling i got from my first class was unforgettable. There is actually a culture of support and acceptance here that is not talked about enough so I had to write this. If all classes are this fun I'll be super fit in no time!

Expérience fantastique: I can't say enough wonderful things about Cecilia, my personal trainer! From the moment I started working with her, I've felt incredibly motivated and supported. She has an amazing ability to push you to your limits while ensuring you feel confident and capable. Every session is tailored to my personal goals, and Cecilia introduces new exercises to keep things interesting and challenging. She pays close attention to form and technique, ensuring I get the most out of every workout while avoiding injuries. What truly sets Cecilia apart is her encouragement. No matter how tough a session might be, she is always there cheering me on and helping me to see just how much I can achieve. I've seen incredible progress in my strength, endurance, and overall fitness since starting our training sessions, and I owe it all to Cecilia’s dedication and expertise.

Expérience fantastique: Great facility and staff. Clean with sauna and strong showers. Offer good personal training.

Expérience négative: I am so disappointed by the state of continual disrepair of the equipment. Machines are constantly broken and stay that way for weeks. That’s not acceptable. I Love the staff here. It’s they who make this place my go to gym. But if they can’t get their maintenance game on point, I’m going to have to consider other gyms

Expérience négative: Don’t drink the water.

Expérience positive: It's less busy than the other richmond location but not nearly as clean and new or as many squat racks.

Expérience négative: Someone in management was unnecessarily hostile with me when I called to request to not be contacted for marketing/sales offers. I tried to communicate that I am grieving and the last thing I want is to be forced to endure a sales pitch. This employee was rude and seriously lacked compassion. Would be great if goodlife paused their sales pitch for one second when a member expresses that they are dealing with grief from the loss of a family member. It is in such poor taste to operate your business this way.

Expérience fantastique: Cris the GM was very helpful showing me the facility and gave me helpful tips for my fitness journey.

Expérience négative: The worst possible staff goodlife can have, racist comments, i quote, "you shouldn't have come here", unprofessional behavior, negative body language (rolled up eyes when asked for towel), the most disgusting experience

Expérience fantastique: I came into the club for a tour and I want to express my gratitude to Cristian the manager. He was so amazing providing an exceptional tour of the facility. His knowledge and enthusiasm showcased the gym’s offerings, making it easy for me to understand the range of services available. His friendly approach and willingness to address my questions created a welcoming atmosphere and I appreciate how helpful he was. I didn’t end up joining because my current club is more convenient, however I will definitely consider it in the future. I'm confident that the club, under such capable management, is the perfect fit for anyone seeking a positive and well-rounded fitness experience. Don’t forget to look for Cristian, Thanks again!

Expérience fantastique: Joined for a month while visiting Toronto. Ran into logistical problems signing up for an account because I was only visiting from out of country. Loveneet was really kind and patient helping us figure out a solution! Megan, a personal trainer, was also really kind and helpful setting up some time to help me learn workouts tailored to my goals.

Expérience négative: Stopped going to this location because of how rude and clueless “Michelle” is. She is blatantly making fun of guests’ non-English names. Xenophobia in this day and age is not a good look on you, GoodLife.

Expérience fantastique: Perfect, but try to go there before 6 pm. Associates are very kind and respectful Clean area, music sound is low

Expérience fantastique: Great location. It does get super busy during peak hours and its not worth it to wait 15-20 minutes for equipment for a 1 hour workout. Its best to get a workout in the morning between 5am-11am. Staff is great. And it's well maintained.

Expérience positive: Parking validation is offered for select times. Consideration should be given to validate at all times to accommodate various schedules and most importantly, aligned with gym opening hours.

Expérience fantastique:

Expérience positive: Great but needs more squat racks! 3 is not nearly enough

Expérience fantastique: People at the front desk are very helpful and nice

Expérience positive: Great staff! Brandon is the best! The sauna is trash.

Expérience négative: Good gym, conveniently located. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Lots of machines, however often times things are broken and remain broken for long periods of time. A few machines have been out of order for over 2 months, with no visual sign of anyone working on them to be fixed.

Expérience fantastique: Good spacious gym, clean, helpful staff, and plenty of machines. Parking during weekdays is not the most convenient. Overall good gym if you live in the area.

Expérience négative: This is probably the worst goodlife in Downtown. Already has the least amount of equipment but the broken machines never get fixed, ac is never working properly either.

Expérience négative: Not a bad gym during off peak hours but it's tough to work out during peak hours since the gym is smaller compared to other goodlife clubs nearby. On top of this small space, they still have a dedicated personal training space which is good. edit: When I joined, they didn't provide me with a bag or a keycard and I had to ask for it. The girl at the reception denied the keycard saying I could use the mobile app... rude. (this was back in 2023)

Expérience négative: Stay away from their predatory billing practices.

Expérience négative: Do NOT sign up here. They continue to charge you months after you cancel your account and claim they are unable to offer refunds. They use your bank account so you cannot do anything on your end. Complete scam artists. Edit: Love the fake "helpful" reply trying to save face. I emailed both members@goodlife as well as this location, amongst many phone calls, all of which have been unhelpful. If you don't believe me, just google "Goodlife scam" or "Goodlife charged after cancelling" to see tons of more people suffering from this BILLION dollar company. Shame on them.

Expérience fantastique: Truly great gym. Friendly vibe, cheerful + welcoming staff, great equipment, etc. But whoever has been recently using their razor-sharp fingernails to press the buttons controlling the men's sauna might want to consider using some other implement in future. The fingertip, perhaps. Or an elbow. Any idea how long it will take to get fixed again?

Expérience positive: GoodLife Fitness, while a recognizable name in the fitness industry, often leaves a lingering impression of mediocrity in various aspects of its offerings. While it strives to provide a comprehensive fitness experience, certain factors may leave members feeling underwhelmed. One notable aspect is the ambiance. While GoodLife Fitness locations are functional and adequately equipped, they can sometimes lack the aesthetic appeal and inspirational atmosphere found in more upscale fitness establishments. The interior design might be characterized by generic decor and a lack of attention to detail, failing to create an environment that truly motivates and invigorates members during their workouts. In terms of equipment and facilities, GoodLife Fitness often falls into a middle-of-the-road category. While they do provide a range of exercise machines and classes, these offerings can sometimes feel outdated or limited in scope. Members seeking the latest fitness trends or cutting-edge equipment might find themselves disappointed by the absence of more innovative options. Another aspect that contributes to the mediocrity is the overall customer experience. While customer service can vary, there are instances where interactions with staff might lack the personalized attention and genuine care that elevates a fitness center from ordinary to exceptional. This can result in a sense of detachment and a missed opportunity to foster a stronger sense of community among members. Furthermore, the class offerings, though present, might not always meet the diverse needs and preferences of the membership base. A lack of variety or specialization in class options could leave some members seeking more tailored and engaging workout experiences elsewhere. It's important to note that while GoodLife Fitness may exhibit areas of mediocrity, it still serves as a functional and accessible fitness option for many individuals. It can provide a basic framework for pursuing health and fitness goals, especially for those who prioritize convenience and affordability over the bells and whistles of a more premium fitness experience. In the end, GoodLife Fitness sits at a crossroads between convenience and aspiration. While it provides a space to break a sweat and stay active, it might not fully satisfy those seeking a more exceptional and inspiring fitness journey.

Expérience positive: Always too busy, not enough equipments available for everyone. This location is too small for the quantity of guests they accommodate

Expérience fantastique: Not sure why the Low rating. One of the best downtown gyms. Clean big organized love it

Expérience fantastique: Pretty nice gym can get a bit busy during rush but that’s everywhere

Expérience positive: The food was good but the hostesses are not paying attention to what you ask for, even if you book in advance. I had a special guest who had a back surgery and I asked for a booth when I booked. They said yes on the phone but when we got there they offered 4 seat table. After I insisted and waited 10 min, finally they had space for us. Disappointing :(

Expérience positive: Didn’t really like it a lot of the machines weren’t working. Good if you’re a local and if it’s close to you

Expérience fantastique: Nice staff

Expérience fantastique: Lots of space and machines

Expérience positive: Packed from 5-7pm, basically nothing available. This place needs more racks as I can wait up to 15mins for one. Otherwise, typical Goodlife quality, with nice staff and quality equipment

Expérience positive: I use to love coming here, but now a lot of the equipment is out of order and it's soooo hot in there during the summer

Expérience positive: Good machine variety, good ventilation and friendly staff, I really enjoy this location. There's only one big downside to me and it's that there's only 3 squat racks so being on a tight work schedule I rarely if ever get to use them. As of now, it's been 2 weeks straight that I haven't been able to use one due to my morning time constraints and how they're always taken.....

Expérience fantastique: I was visiting Toronto and figured to check out the gym while I was here. I was greated by Trevor and Michelle who were so welcoming and friendly! Great staff, great gym culture with all the members, great facilities and options for different muscle groups. The facility was clean and the Sauna was amazing! If you get a chance to come visit the gym you definitely should and be sure to look out for my peeps Michelle and Trevor!

Expérience fantastique: This is an awesome place to workout in the downtown area. The staff are incredibly friendly and the gym and change rooms are very clean and tidy. Operating hours are also a bonus. Special thanks to Trevor for showing us around.

Expérience fantastique: Great gym! Trevor was very helpful and accommodating! Keep up the good work :)

Expérience fantastique: Great gym, good staff! First impression since having to find parking after speaking to customer service over the phone was very helpful, and nice. Everything is clean, well maintained and didn’t have one equipment out of order. The layout of the gym was at first slightly confusing, but was easily managed after walking throughout the gym. Even gym members also seem to be polite also had the courtesy to clean after themselves. I came here during time frame of 4-6. The gym didn’t seem too bad in waiting for equipment/machines. No complaints besides just one small thing, and it was being the sauna being out of order. If your looking for a workout that can be managed to fit in 2 hours this is a great gym to attend.

Expérience positive: Solid location. No complaints that isn’t normal for any gym like it being packed after 4 pm. GoodLife is a solid gym. I like their layout.

Expérience fantastique: Emily's bodypump class is amazing.

Expérience négative: Seven different machines broken and no paper towel in dispensers to sanitize equipment

Expérience fantastique: This is easily the best GoodLife in the downtown area. The staff are incredibly friendly and the members are super respectful. Change rooms and showers are always clean and tidy. Gym is never too busy. Special shout out to Eliana and Lulu as well! Eliana, who works in the mornings, always has a smile on her face and is so friendly and welcoming. Lulu is the reason that every single mirror/window/treadmill and other piece of equipment is spotless every day.. she never stops cleaning! Thanks guys!

Expérience fantastique: I love this location. The vibe is lit and the staff is so helpful. Top3 GoodLife in Toronto

Expérience négative: Parking is an issue but other than that the same quality of equipment and service you've come to expect from the brand. There is alot of construction and traffic so hopefully that gets done soon.

Expérience positive: I'm a member here. The staff are great. They don't get too busy and they have everything you need to get a pretty good workout in.

Expérience fantastique: The place is great especially since Maria the cleaning lady started working there; Up till June 2022, often I could see tons of dust under the weights holders or under the machines, the bathroom was ok but not the cleanest. OMG the place is now immaculate! What a pleasure to work out in such a cleansed environment. Thank you Maria xox

Expérience fantastique: The early morning front desk staff have been consistently friendly and helpful. The woman specifically (I do not know her name) was nice enough to give me a spare lock of hers when I had lost mine. Great staff.

Expérience fantastique: Great Gym, never thought GoodLife could be that good, specifically staff members, great team, always supportive, helpful & welcoming. My personal favourites are Eliana, Scott and Brandon, thanks u guys

Expérience positive: Good gym. Lots of cardio machines. Needs more squat racks as that’s what everyone wants. 3 issues. 1. Super packed during rush hour. 2. I’m starting to see more and more people work out bare foot and the staff do nothing . 3. The gym has a few regulars who constantly “superset” meaning they try and use more than 1 machine at the same time. These people are worse than Hitler and must be stopped. Other than than. Gym is fine, staff are hard working.

Expérience fantastique: So happy to have found this location. It starts with the staff and their customer service, and this team does it so well. I love walking in first thing and getting greeted by Eliana, her smile and warm welcome. It’s the best start to my day!

Expérience fantastique: Nice staff Good equipment - quality and variety Not too busy even in peak hours

Expérience fantastique: One of the better Goodlife locations. Has enough equipment to fill your needs. Changerooms aren't as crampy as some, and the same goes for the gym floor.

Expérience fantastique: I go to this gym sometimes but when I do the staff there are great! One in particular, Brandon, always helpful and knows his stuff when it comes to workouts and where all the machines are. Though it may get busy after 4pm, the mornings are quieter.

Expérience positive: Ok!

Expérience fantastique: Clean. Easy going staff. Great layout for a gym.

Expérience négative: So, this lady named michele says she is the manager!! She needs to bring her energy down. Refused my friend to give a free trail pass. Instead of explaining us how everything works, she could’ve been nice. But, she choose voilence at 8 am in the mrng.I go to this gym from last 7 months.everytime i see her she makes me feel so uncomfortable. Like if as she owns this gym. The management needs to take an action asap.

Expérience fantastique: I love this gym. I had no issues canceling in the past and restarting my membership recently. Quality equipment, clean gym, and overall good vibes. I signed up with Marco, who was professional and lovely to deal with. Great value if you’re looking for fitness classes, too. Would recommend!

Expérience fantastique: I love this location. It is spacious, clean, and well-managed. The equipment/machines are new and high-quality. The best part is that it is not overly crowded. I have nothing negative to say about this location!

Expérience fantastique: the best club I visited..clean,nice atmosphere helpful staff,well organized and not too crowed.I will surely come here often.

Expérience fantastique: Spacious. Clean. Well maintained. Do my daily workouts here. Never crowded. :)

Expérience fantastique: Jimmy La....BOSS! this club & 137 yonge st are where the pretty people play! average sexy rating at both clubs is 7......and no attitude. ladies, fellas, lighting, airflow, windows, gooooodlife!

Expérience fantastique: Friendly staff. Well cared for equipment.

Expérience fantastique: My favorite goodlife branch! Please stay open 24 hours already..

Expérience fantastique: Good place to work out clean Stafford friendly very helpful

Expérience fantastique: I had been going to this gym for a 1.5 years and the manager Rey was amazing and always made sure that his clients are happy at the gym. The gym is kept super clean and strict protocols are in place to ensure safety for everyone. I had a Personal Trainer and noted that the PT area was always restricted to training clients only which was great. Unfortunately I moved out of downtown and had to join another goodlife gym.

Expérience positive: It’s a great place, except I strongly wish it were 24/7, and proper 24/7 not 24/4 unlike few other GoodLife branches. It is rather inconvenient that it opens at 7am on weekends.

Expérience positive: Great Gym, very helpful staff. Could use more machines, though!

Expérience fantastique: Great location, easy to access anywhere people live in city, overall, great gym equipment's, staff(especially Stan) and I try to workout everyday except sunday and Saturday, but I haven't seen single day compromise in services.

Expérience négative: Deceitful and fraudulent marketing team. I don't usually write reviews but I don't want anyone else ever ending up in my situation. I highly advise anyone looking to join a gym to NEVER even show the slightest interest in GoodLife. I joined the gym with a personal trainer for $292. My first two sessions went to waste as their personal trainer was flirting with me and did not help me workout properly. After I changed personal trainers, two weeks later I was told to extend my personal trainer subscription and was told it was cancellable at any point. I was not shown any new contract and had to e-sign on their screen. 2 weeks later I was charged $400 from my account and was told that this is the new personal trainer fee. I asked for them to cancel it as I cannot afford $400 bi-weekly payments. I was told to pay $1700 cancellation fee or stay for the next 12 months. I am an international student. I cannot afford to pay $800 every month for a personal trainer. I brought this up with the manager at this GoodLife location and got shouted at. His behavior was extremely unprofessional. I emailed the membership team about my situation and asked for a fee reduction or waiver, only to get a standard email repeating that I need to pay $1700 or continue on for 12 months. No one is helping me and I am extremely disappointed by the unprofessionalism, dishonesty and insincerity at this gym. Everyone I have talked to has told me GoodLife is a big scam. Now I don't have the money to continue my subscription nor the money to pay the hefty cancellation fee.

Expérience fantastique: Great locations through out the city with friendly staff. Love the hours and variety of equipment for pro bodybuilding and fitness mined people. Message chairs are always available.

Expérience fantastique: Great gym. Clean and lots of equipment.

Expérience fantastique: By FAR the best GoodLife downtown! Shoutout to the morning crew specifically (Michelle and Jill). They are extremely helpful, pleasant, and personable. This staff provides the best start to your morning and taking care of your needs.

Expérience fantastique: Just moved into the city and started going to this GoodLife about a month ago. Really impressed with how clean the staff keep the facilities. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Other guests are respectful and the gym environment is comfortable and not too crowded during the day. I am really enjoying working out at this gym.

Expérience positive: Cool gym but please open 24 hrs!!

Expérience négative: This place isn’t as clean as it should be

Expérience négative: I’ve had so many negative experiences with GoodLife I’m amazed they are still around. From not being able to cancel a membership to double billing I recommend supporting one of the independent gyms or joining the YMCA in the area. You'll thank me later. Critical: Communication, Professionalism WARNING: this shady location (College and Euclid) is closing in november 2021 and they are still singing people up and telling them AFTER. They don't have a single sign out and claimed they sent an e-mail out instead. I only found by by overhearing a member complaining they had been tricked. I can confirm with certainty they did not send me an e-mail. I did not expect such dirty tactics from Canada's largest gym but covid losses have overridden honesty. I'm disgusted by this inexcusable and intentional deception. Still no signs about the closure today on October 17th. Join the YMCA of you need a gym in this neigbourhood Edit: feedback you requested- put a sign up and stop the intentional deception. I don't need to tell you this

Expérience positive: Its good. Free parking helps. They just need to do something about all that sweat smell

Expérience positive: Friendly gym, with a real good vibe. The manager is super nice and everyone I've encountered has been too. People are diligent about wiping down equipment and wearing their masks when walking around. 3 squat racks, 3 benches, and 3 incline benches. I only wish that we could use the PT space outside of PT hours. It would open up another squat rack. Also, please please please make this a 24hr gym! I'm begging man.

Expérience fantastique: Very good and clean location, staff is always friendly! The hiring manager is doing a great job! I’m always welcomed there, I love this location! It does get pretty busy at times tho. So maybe be careful what time you go there, but otherwise, very good location!

Expérience positive: It would be great if this Goodlife can be promoted into a 24/7 location considering how crowded it usually gets regardless of the time of the day nor the COVID restrictions. Staffs are friendly tho, better than other dt locations I've been to

Expérience positive: Really like this club! Very convenient to get to, has tons of equipments and free weights as well, just a perfect fit to kick in a great workout. However, really recommend that this club functions for 24 hours as there are not many 24/7 clubs nearby and this would really help a lot of members to get in a workout if they miss the regular hours.

Expérience positive: It's an ok goodlife, not too crowded. They have been out of stock on the bag they give you upon joining for 3 weeks now

Expérience fantastique: Good staff and Good crowd.

Expérience négative: I'm trying to cancel this membership. They overcharged me as soon as they reopened and they will renew your contract without yourr consent. Avoid at all costs unless you like extremely difficult challenges.

Expérience négative: Weights are always a mess, many sanitizer bottles don’t function properly and paper towel is often out.

Expérience positive: One of my favs in downtown Toronto

Expérience fantastique: One of the best goodlife locations, the space is very well layed out and clean. Great staff and management with no egos, they are willing to listen to suggestions in order to improve unlike some other businesses who can't handle any kind of feedback. It is particularly tough during covid and I think they are really doing their best to keep everyone safe.

Expérience fantastique: Very clean gym! They have all the equipment put away and cleaned before each session. The staff are amazing here. Frank is my go to guy!! It is hard to get a booking here but ppl cancel last minute. Been to many classes and usually 1 spot is still open.

Expérience fantastique: I have always been please by the staff, equipment and classes at Goodlife. The machines do require maintenance and since reopening post 2020 pandemic and shut down, they are more on top of repairing equipment. I appreciate the staff's diligence in cleaning after each hour booking. That said, please note with despite everyone's awareness of Covid being a very big concern, I have seen 4 men wiping the machines and only one wiped the nobs that were touched by their hands. That means you must in the very least, wipe the knobs before you use any of the devices. Also, most men do not wear their masks when walking to and from the machines. I know it's a difficult time, but it would be appreciative if more precautions were taken indoors. I wear a surgical mask to work out in. It does not prevent my breathing nor am I more tired from doing so, its not an N95. As we move towards cooler temperatures, being indoors will become more of an issue, hopefully more people will take better precautions. Again, thank you to the Goodlife staff for their care in protecting members.

Expérience fantastique: As a staff at this location, I think compare to other goodlife I been, this is one of the best. Everyone treat everyone equally and respect all members alike. Bump to the hardship we do. If you live around this gym come by you will love the atmosphere.

Expérience fantastique: It's a gym. It's near my house. I love it.

Expérience positive: One of the better equipped GL locations downtown. Multiple squat racks and benches, spacious to an extent and staff are friendly.
