    As usual, the change rooms are absolutely filthy. I’ve been a member for a year and this seems to be the general state of things… Dust caked on vents, ants and god know what else all over the showers. Also for a ‘premium’ gym you need to bring your own padlock for lockers. Seems there is budget for advertising to get new contracts signed though. Maybe a bit of that money could go to some bug spray and shower cleaner? Won’t be renewing my membership.

    One of my friends suggested me to join the Goodlife Gym coburg later I found out he was paying 13$ a week and my rate was 23$ a week I asked them to match the rate or consider my notice period from today no one contacted me and the gym kept charging the money. When I put in my notice in writing later I was offered 16$ a week and 4 week free period for the same membership. Not to mention I didn’t get two weeks free period as promised when I joined. So either find a better gym in your area or do your proper research before joining this gym and negotiate your rates. I feel that I was ripped off!!

    After a distressing year and circumstances they still hassled me for money when I contacted head office and asked to cancel my membership as Covid 19 created massive stresses in my life and also shut the gym down. They had no understanding, empathy and did not care to help me at all. Do not recommend getting sucked into this money grabbing place

    Very average gym considering the high price you are paying compared to other gyms in the area. It is such a big space but all the machinery is cramed together with majority of the gym being just exercise bikes and treadmills. I even got asked to leave a 5 star review considering that the reviews are average. Wouldn't reccomend this gym to people in the area and would go for other cheaper gyms in the area.

    Of all the years I’ve been into my fitness and training, I have managed to find some pretty average places called gyms. However this gym is certainly a diamond in the rough. Especially the sales staff, they treated me with awesome respect and never once have hesitated to help of i ever needed it. Couldn’t recommend this place more to anyone. Top shelf.

    What a club! 24/7 access, functional, cardio, large gym floor area with heaps of equipment, ladies only gym, sauna, steam room and group fitness classes all included in the cost of membership. Not to mention the amazing staff. Highly recommend

    It’s amazing how this place is still open with ridiculous prices but the one thing that does beat Essendon is that it has working sauna and steam rooms. Also a girls section but other than that it’s a very basic boring gym, the equipments old and they don’t even have a hack squat or any equipment like a glute drive or single leg curl that many other gyms have. It’s a gym for people just getting into fitness but that’s really it. Still the price is too high for what you get

    Gym seems decent (ie: equipment and cleanliness), however, I trialed their 5 day free trial and this was my experience: Immediate call to book in a time that day to go through basics and offers - fair enough, I understand the need for safety and marketing. However, this is where it got weird for me. Before even trying out the gym, they started making offers of 10% off the current price if I gave up the 5 day free trial. This seems predatory on people's motivation to become fit. When I delved in deeper, the price they quoted included 3 monthly PT sessions. When I mentioned that I already had a PT and didn't need this, their response was "unfortunately, this is included in the price and cannot be altered." Now, I don't blame the staff member I spoke to: this is definitely a managerial choice. TL:DR I tried it out, wasn't horrible, but I was left with a dirty feeling of being preyed on.

    Extensive, clean gym with knowledgeable people running the place. Overall good and welcoming atmosphere, particular shoutout to PT Rhett and spinning instructors Amanda and Simon for being absolute legends at what they do!

    The worst gym going. Biggest rip off. Every month on top of your debit, they take 8$ from your account. I asked what's that for, they said so that you can have a meeting with a trainer to see how your going. I said stuff the trainer I don't want to talk to anybody, but they kept charging me. I cancelled my membership but they took another months debit. They are scammers especially the one in Coburg. Go elsewhere.

    It is ridiculous how a gym can charge you with a 1 month of fees after notice of cancellation on a no lock-in contract policy. This practice raises concerns about transparency and fairness. As a customer, I value clear terms and hope the gym can reconsider its policy to align better with the flexibility promised in a no-lock-in contract. The staff lies about no end of contract fees too. Don’t go this dodgy gym and get better and transparent deal elsewhere.

    Facilities and staff are good, though their joining contracts are predatory and completely unnecessary in this day and age. They make you pay for 30 days of membership when you cancel and you can’t even put the membership on hold without paying them $5 per week.. ridiculous for a gym. Better ones out there that have no lock in contracts with debt collectors waiting in the background.

    My encounter with Goodlife has been nothing short of a nightmare. Their promise of a free signup turned out to be a deceptive ploy to lure unsuspecting customers. Even after I cancelled my subscription, they continued to deduct money from my account without any explanation or consent. The icing on the cake is their abysmal customer service. It's as if they've mastered the art of ignoring customers' pleas for help. Responses were slow, unhelpful, and, frankly, rude. I strongly caution anyone considering Goodlife to steer clear. This company's unethical practices, disregard for customers, and lack of accountability are simply unacceptable. My experience has left me both frustrated and appalled. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere for a trustworthy and customer-centric service.

    Good value gym, always has enough equipment and never feels super busy. Reception staff are very friendly.

  • 5/5 Kat F. 2 years ago on Google
    I’ve been a member at Goodlife Coburg for 5 years and it is a fantastic gym. I alternate between using the main gym floor and cardio area, and the women’s only space. Aspects I really like are the 24 hour access and the spacious facilities. There is plenty of well maintained equipment and crowding is never an issue. Staff are always friendly and responsive to queries. The gym has a positive vibe and respectful culture. Highly recommend!

    Fantastic staff and vibe. I normally train down in Mornington but was visiting Coburg for a week. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Gym kept super neat and clean. Also tried one of the spin classes, instructor was fantastic. Great week.

    Friendly staff, clean equipment and lots of space to train. Easily one of the best spots in the area

    Heaps of equipment and loved doing the classes. They fit in perfectly with my schedule!

  • 5/5 Ceci A. 3 years ago on Google
    Goodlife health clubs are amazing. You can use all their multiple venues around Melbourne. The staff is friendly and ready to help. You can find great opportunities of different activities if you like to commute, for instance squash courts In Fitzroy venue and climatized swimming pools in Hoppers Crossing. If you like to take clases everything what you need is there, and I particularly found yoga classes very high level and many other disciplines. Thanks

    Great gym, friendly staff. Aircon could be improved but overall good atmosphere and good club

  • 5/5 Faria S. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this place. Facility is clean, customer service is amazing andcmy trainer Alex Dimos is the icing on the cake. He knows exactly what I want to acheive and his knowledge is beyond me! I've never had a trainer before that is as knowledgeable as Alex. Would highly recommend! Thanks Goodlife Health Club Coburg! ❤️

    I was a member of this gym for over 8 years and was recently banned for kicking a punching bag without shoes on. The manager was incredibly rude and threatened to call the police if I didn't put my shoes on. I was shocked and appalled by his behavior, especially considering that there was a yoga class on with people barefoot. I understand that most of the staff at this gym don't know anything about fitness, but they certainly don't have any people skills to do this kind of jobs. I would not recommend this gym to anyone.

    I joined Goodlife Coburg Friday last week. From the get go I received professional and friendly help. Firstly from Georgina when she explained the various membership options before I joined, and then from Edwina who took me on my first training session on Monday and set up a training programme.

  • 5/5 Gary N. 2 years ago on Google
    A great gym and good vibes! Nice range of equipment and I love the atmosphere of the club. The team at Reception are great and overall the staff are friendly. I feel comfortable coming to this gym and working out on the gym floor. All factors considered this club helps me stay consistent and get my workouts done!

  • 5/5 C.A.T. T. 2 years ago on Google
    Love that they have a dedicated women-only area but the change area is small. Has a better selection of classes than other Goodlife gyms in the area, plus the ARENA classes make this gym definitely great value for money. Lots of parking available, and staff are very helpful.

  • 5/5 Lincoln J L. 2 years ago on Google
    Wide range of equipment. Big open space. Enough space and covid safe.

  • 1/5 Ruth H. 9 months ago on Google • 1 review
    I can’t express the pure frustration I have had encountering this place. I signed a 12 month contract, used the facilities for one month, got a job interstate where there is no goodlife gym, explained my situation and now they want to charge me an exit fee that is more than the payments I would have to pay until the end of the contract! How can they charge fees that are so disproportionate to the possible ‘loss’ when a contract is broken?? Don’t go near this place, don’t sign any contracts, don’t believe them when they say they will look after you, don’t sign any direct debit contracts, don’t enter the gym…they are misrepresenting themselves to an extraordinary degree.
