GoodLife Fitness

Staff very nice at Good Life Fitness in Sq One,Mississauga.

Good variety of machines. Very clean facility ,especially one cleaning staff member

His names is Peter, who I notice is always working ,and keeping everything in order.

Have used this gym for a few years. I have tried a few of their group fitness classes that are free for members. From my experience it is excellent. You are there to get a workout and not worry about getting a socialization session in. The best times to use the gym are between 2 am to 5 am, and 9pm-​12 midnight. The one time you must avoid the gym is between 5 pm to 9 pm when the rush hour crowd comes. You can get a good workout in provided you are polite, assertive, and willing to share equipment. The rest of the times have a fair number of people like any other gym .
THE GOOD
Automatic massage chairs, large variety of equipment, sauna, polite staff, clean gym (clean until people mess it up during the day), almost 24 hours availability: Opens on Mondays @ 6 om, stays 24 hours till Friday 9 pm, On the Weekends It is 8 am –7pm
THE BAD
Chest, biceps, arms machines, are always used during rush hour, not enough 25 – 45 lb dumbells to satisfy the demand of most people in the gym, the bikes are missing straps on the pedals, not enough air conditioning during the summer
If you know why you are working out then this is the place for you to get it and enjoy the results. If you are there to socialize, take selfies, lack social skills (you need them if you want to work in on equipment,/get equipment) then this is not the place for you.

My least favourite GOODLIFE location.
Poor design, feels crammed.
Less than clean. Avoid.

They refused to let my wheelchair bound mother use their washroom. Thanks to the people working here she had to go home with poo covered pants. I will never use a GoodLife gym.

Location is convenient for me
Working out at other good life locations is convenient.
This location. Like the other comments say, it isn’t clean. I have the worst sense of smell, seriously can’t smell much. But when I come in to here and it reeks of sweat, I know it has to be damn strong if I notice!
When I signed up I went in to ask questions and mentioned I was going to purchase through a corporate account. Corporate gives me half off the prices they pitch in store. They wouldn’t let up trying to get me to pay their price which was double mine, trying to tell me it was a better deal. How was was double the price a better deal?
And like another reviewer stated, I wasn’t interested in the personal training, which they seem to be coached pretty hard to push. As soon as I made that clear, they didn’t seem that interested in dealing with me any further. I’m guessing the rate of commission for the employee that makes the sale for personal training must be quite lucrative.
Gym can be very crowded at times, sometimes ridiculously so. On the other hand, I went one time at 4AM and there was no crowd! However, during after work or early morning sometimes it’s just too busy.
Perhaps if they reorganized the place so that, for example, the two bicep curl machines were side by side instead of upstairs and downstairs it might help alleviate the congestion.
I used to belong to ClubOne on North Service road. ClubOne is more expensive than GoodLife, but like they say, you get what you pay for.
I go to two GoodLife locations. This one is walkable, the other one I need to drive to get there. All things being equal, I’ll go to the other location when I have the chance.

I decided to try out this location when I began working in the area. The employees were all really nice but I was not impressed with the gym.
The gym is always crowded and it smells like sweat. It’s kind of dirty and there are no windows. I really don’t like working out in an area that feels like a basement. I enjoy looking outside and seeing nature when I run.

Where do I start. The only reason I’m giving it 2 stars and not 1 is because the check in desk girls are nice. This place is a MESS. Very disorganized, cluttered, and not efficient placement of torn apart equipment. Cardio equipment should all be upstairs. The main floor needs to be organized properly. You can’t move without bumping into someone. Weights are just Ross’s about the entire gym. Which I blame the gym for not enforcing members to re-​rack weights. The guys locker room was a mess. Towels and trash all over. They need a housekeeper to constantly be cleaning equipment and checking the locker rooms. Not impressed wouldn’t pay to be a member.

Not terrible as per the 1* rating, but not 100% thrilled either about this location.
First of all, it ain’t 24-hrs…despite what the sign says. And that’s fine, just remove that portion of the sign and replace it with the hours of operation, so people don’t feel duped. Then again, who the hell would want to work out at 3 in the morning!!! Not me!
After dropping in a coupla times for the week pass that I was so generously provided with by Shanty, here are my observations:
The Good:
— it’s a fairly large facility, but the layout is somewhat subterranean, spread over different levels due to the location in the mall
— change rooms/​washrooms are newer and kept clean
— UNISEX!!! I *need* and prefer this
— they have a GoodLife propaganda channel and I thought this was motivational with their quotes on health and statistics on nutrition
— they offer RMT services (for a fee, of course!)
— PTs seemed fit
— lotsa machines & tvs set-​up
— squash courts, if that’s your thing
— I think they offer childcare… although I never saw this happening while I was there
— Spin room and class room seemed large enough
— PTs, not really the workers (re: people who are picking up weights or cleaning things) seemed genuinely happy
The N.I.
— subterranean feel can also be a bad thing too, you hafta get used to the unique layout, there are quite a few hidden nooks ‘n crannies
— the club itself could use a facelift (some weird stains on the ceilings)
— since it’s a large club, at Square One, the members are a mix of retired folks, 20−30s, and punky kids who think it’s cool to throw their water bottle across the room…’cause they don’t want to carry it (??), juiceheads who drop their weights and eggs each other on with grunts
— weights weren’t in the right place
— I’d say that at least half their machines looked old
— more than half of their tvs were fuzzy or just plain frozen
The location is pretty convenient if you lived nearby &/​or like to shop! ;)

Decided to drop by and see if anything has changed since the last time I visited (2012). After this most recent visit I will definitely not return and would not recommend to others.
The facility is quite dirty and isn’t well maintained. Although the change rooms have been renovated it is quite dirty. The lockers and floor are dirty, blech!
The treadmills are outdated and looks dirty. There was gum stuck to the bottom of the drink holder that I was using. Dumbbells are placed in the wrong spots or either missing. Although there are spray bottles and paper towels to clean down equipment I saw maybe one person actually use it (besides myself).
This place is quite grimy and I definitely did not want to workout at this location for long. I sanitized my hands twice. that’s how unclean this place is.

Too small for the amount of members in attendance. I feel like I wasted my 15.00 day pass fee. There were seriously lines to use each machine. The TRX bands seem to only be available for trainers and their clients, as well as the kettle bells. I left unsatisfied and not likely to return.

This is the fourth goodlife location I have been to over the years. Being at square one, it is definitely a busy busy place. I would suggest going very early or midday to avoid the massive after-​work crowds.
This location has two floors and the upstairs is basically the same as downstairs except it’s a bit smaller and has older machines. Still a good place to sneak away to if you find the bottom crowded. A lot of the classes are very busy so I would suggest arriving a few minutes early to avoid either not being able to get in, or having to position yourself in a very odd spot of the room to fit.
The instructors are great! All very enthusiastic, and able to keep you engaged the entire time. There has never been a time when I’ve been bored in a class.
My biggest (and really the only) issue is that there are no kettle bells — only those that belong to the personal trainers. I get that they have risks associated with them if people don’t know how to use them, but the same can be said for anything else.
Otherwise, excellent place to get your workout in!

I was offered a family discount on my membership since my brother is a member but the associate had the audacity to completely turn away from her commitment and later on offered a «family discount» by hiking my brother’s fees and matching mine to what he is paying now. How stupid do you have to be to be able to have the cheek to sell that to a mentally sound customer. All of this after having me wait 40 mins with an appointment. A big no no for me!

Fun facts
–Court#3 for Squash has a closed wooden covered door if you want some privacy.
–Only the first 2 courts have glass doors facing the gym.
–You can only book the courts online
–Leagues will be ending soon (last game is March6) — perfect time to join ^_​^
–You can get a free 3 day pass if you have a friend that is a member (if you want to try the courts out)
–Bathrooms are still under renovations.
