GoodLife Fitness

Congratulation GoodLife this location is officially the most disgusting I’ve been to. It’s the most convenient for me but the men’s room smell really bad and the washroom smell like urine. I feel nauseous each time I pass the door.

I come here because it’s within walking distance from my work. You have everything you need in a gym. But what I dislike is the size and layout of the gym. Located on the 2^nd floor of an office building you can tell that this location needs to be revamped. The changerooms are small and grundgy looking. It’s always packed during the lunch hours so if you ever want to do a class, get here EARLY so you can get a locker. Also the group excerise class is small and always crammed so come early for this too. The one thing that I like is the service because the front desk people always greet you with a smile and they provide you with towels that you can just pick up on your own without asking.

This is one of the nicer GoodLife clubs. Very convenient and has lots of equipment. Cleanliness is well above usual GoodLife standards. Plenty of lockers. The same weeeird towel policy is in effect here which is a huge weakness at all GL locations. Who knew those thin towels were so expensive and washing them was stratospheric costly? This location is slow to repair broken equipment but no worse than other GL locations. Friendly staff and the clientele is older and more polite than other locations. Near King subway.

I just walked out of my appointment with Fadi, i called yesterday and explained to him on the phone that i wanted to pay cash up front for the whole year and he said that i would have to go in for him to explain to me how it works, upon arriving he seemed pretty arrogant not welcoming at all, and he told me that if i want to pay up front for the year its $ 900 for the year and if i sign up for the monthly payments its $ 600, it absolutely doesn’t make sense to me that if u wanna pay upfront for the year its $ 30 more a month when they should actually give u a deal for paying up front.
I told him i didn’t feel comfortable doing that because i have been with goodlife previously and they would take double payments out some months. I then asked if i could try out the gym he said that i couldn’t because i was previously a member, i know how gyms work if you haven’t been with a gym for more then one year (which i haven’t been with goodlife for 3 years) you can try it out for 3 days specially if its a different gym.
I then asked to speak to the manager he told me he is the manager with a smirk on his face, needless to say i will never step foot at a goodlife. They lost 2 customers (me and my husband) for good.

This is the only Goodlife that is accessible indoor through the PATH. It is small, and has an older feel to it but is still clean and has very friendly staff.

Overall this is a solid location, but it could use an upgrade to a lot of the facilities. It would be nice if they renovated and added more amenities like hot yoga room and possibly a pool! But this location is definitely good for our canadian weather during the months you don’t want to freeze outside in!
Clean, courteous staff, convenient.

I visit this location everyday between 5:30 am and 6:00 am and can honestly say, that at that time, it’s down to business and all about my workout. People, including the staff are generally friendly and helpful but aloof as they should be for a downtown fitness club. The premise is sprawling with all the equipment one could ever need and the instructors are very knowledgeable and certainly know how to motivate and get yeah going. The place is clean and membership very affordable — only challenge, since the club is very accessible it gets really busy during peak hours.

I just LOVE this Goodlife location. It was close to my old job, is still close to my new job, and just a quick journey away from where I live.
It’s not just convenience that keeps me returning here, however. This genuinely is the best Goodlife I’ve been to — and last year, when I first joined, I visited quite a few locations around downtown Toronto so I could compare.
The facilities are excellent here. I rarely see any machine out of order. The place is clean and organised. Clients appear to tidy up after themselves and replace items they have moved, and staff seem to encourage this culture.
It’s very well-​laid out, despite its small size. Theres a large group class room upstairs, and a spinning room downstairs.
I’ve seen much larger Goodlifes that had inferior and less convenient internal layouts. Some people may dislike the fact that this location is spread across two small floors, but almost every machine that can be found downstairs is duplicated upstairs. Good planning! This convenience ensures that gym-​goers can get their favourite exercises done without constantly having to switch floors in search of certain machines and weights.
This location offers excellent additional amenities, such as group classes, acupuncture, massage therapy and I believe a chiropractor. I agree with the other reviewer who says that the ladies’ changing room is like a beauty salon! As well as hairdryers, hair curlers and hair straighteners, they offer complimentary moisturiser, deodorant and mouthwash — those small but essential things you can easily forget when packing your gym bag in the morning. I took these little extras for granted by coming to this location so much, and was shocked when I visited the infamous 137 Yonge Street Goodlife and discovered they only had very basic changing room facilities with none, or very few, of the above.
The staff are very friendly, you’ll almost always get a friendly greeting or farewell. Even on busy weekday mornings, the staff and cleaners are accommodating. This was most evident when I stupidly locked my locker key in my locker and only realised when I was finished my workout and in a hurry to get to work. The guy at reception was very calm and helpful and the cleaner managed to bust the lock open and had a very helpful and patient attitude about the whole process.
I generally just like the atmosphere at this location. I can’t exactly put my finger on why, but I feel it lacks the über-​competitive and show-​off environment of so many other gyms. It’s relatively laid-​back, and the clientele generally work out alone, so you’re spared being distracted by others conversations or competitions between friends. There’s an element of privacy about this gym that I appreciate.
Everything really is great at this location, and even if I moved apartment or got a job further away, I’m certain I would still travel to workout at this particular Goodlife !

I’ve been to four other locations so far and Plaza is actually pretty nice.
My first time trying to find this location was actually hard because it’s literally in between two buildings and it’s just a door indicating its GoodLife.
It’s not that big but it’s good enough if you want a quick workout and less crowded than the 137 club. I love the women’s change room! Inside looks like a hair and makeup studio and includes hair tools such as hair dryers, straighteners and hair curlers.
If you’re looking into taking a Zumba class, Diane from Plaza is the best one! In 45min I was drenched in sweat, but it was so much fun and it’s a great mix of Latin, a bit of hip hop, reggae and krumping! Lots of booty shaking moves. Love the moves!
