GoodLife Fitness

This location is decent. What I like: parking available, lots of equipment, open 24 hours, non pretentious members, spacious. What I didn’t like: place looks run down and needs to be updated, front counter staff is not friendly at all (when I went in the first time they were more concerned about talking to each other than acknowledging me).

I have frequented many goodlifes over the past year and this has to be the worst one. From the state of the equipment, clientele to the layout this place is dismal. It is a renovated location, goodlife bought out some old fitness club, you walk in on one level, go down a flight of stairs to the changerooms have to go up some narrow stairwell three flights which brings you to the fitness area which is assembled in a circle with all the machines, benches strewn together in some haphazard manner with mirrors just to make it more confusing. It has squash courts, I guess the only goodlife that does, but it always seems very busy.
The free weights area: The worst, the benches are an inch from the wall which makes spotting impossible, there is only one squat rack and limited benches.
Change-​rooms: Smell terrible but are actually very well stocked with every amenity imaginable (hair gel, mouthwash, hairdryers, body lotion etc). This location has a steam-​room which functions only half of the time, and a very small sauna.
Clientele: This is the noisiest gym ever, full of teenagers going nuts on the machines talking loudly to their bros or on their cell-​phones. If this isn’t happening there are some random bodybuilders grunting out rep numbers as loud as possible. I have been to many goodlifes and this my fellow Unilocal readers houses the loudest most annoying people.
Group fitness room: this is a nice larger sized room that is free in the evenings, I like to hide in here to get some serious plyo work done if no one is in.
Staff: Helpful enough, no impolite or bad experiences, but they do like talking to each other a lot, especially in the training area which is loud enough already.
In conclusion I don’t recommend this place if you are looking for a high-​energy, well-​organized, streamlined place to workout. If you want to fool around with machines and sit around willy-​nilly waiting for a bench to free up while listening to personal trainers joke with each other this is your spot.

This gym is great. I’m not sure what issues people have with it, but this was my first experience with GoodLife and overall it was extremely positive.
The staff are friendly and helpful, the trainers were friendly, there are loads of treadmills, elliptical machines, bikes and equipment. Some old, some new. The best part about it, is that it is nearly empty.
I think the biggest selling point for me is that it has great change room facilities and amenities. Unlike the Liberty Village location (that is now my regular location), there isn’t a mass veto on scented products, and they have lotions, different shampoos, hair spray, gel, deodorant, etc. There is a hot tub, sauna and steam room, and more than enough showers.
I liked it, now it’s just too far out of the way to visit.

This gym is so ugly… only a mother could love it, and yet I sort of enjoy its ghetto charm! The equipment is hella old compared to the shiny new stuff at the Liberty Village 24 hour gym but you know what… it still works fine and since the gym is a bit older it’s generally dead.
My one biggest complaint is that there are no bike racks at this location. Thank god I had a chain lock so I could lock it to a tree.
