    The staff are awesome. Ella made signing my sister up for her membership super easy, and followed up with us afterwards to make sure everything went smoothly with the corporate registration. Gym is well laid out, turf with sled push is a huge bonus, and the fitness class studio has lovely natural lighting.

    We have been clients of Goodlife Fitness Bedford for 4 months (Me, my husband and our teenage son). My personal coach is Meriem and I can't stress enough how instrumental she has been in my weight loss journey. I have been trying for years without sucess, but I am proud to announce today that I lost 10 kgs so far thanks not only to her guidance in the gym but her nutritional advice as well over months. A true professional and encouraging person. I would recommend her to anyone struggling in losing weight. The team at the gym is welcoming too, start before it's too late!

    The staff is great and the gym has great equipment but the 1 star review reflects the noise level from a few members and some of the staff who drop heavy weights when they're working out. I thought I was alone on this so I actually walked around the gym to talk to people who seemed visibly upset when someone would drop their weights. They said they didn’t like the noise but they also didn’t really want to say anything to avoid the hassle. I saw only one other person speak to the front desk. I spoke with the manager who agreed with me on the noise issue. He shared a story that there was an older woman in yoga class who complained about the noise from upstairs. I was referred to the regional manager who told me that “The dropping of weights has been adopted and embraced by Goodlife" and "we can do better." Embracing it was about using proper technique, however I've seen many people slowly lower their weights, so that reason is hard for me to agree. I still go because it’s close by and convenient but if someone has heavy weights to drop, I just ignore it. In essence, I'm told they're allowed to. If you're considering a membership, check out all gyms before deciding on this one if noise is an issue. I understand you’ll never have a quiet gym but dropping heavy weights when a sign says “Do Not Drop Weights” seems to be a mismanaged club policy.

    I recently joined goodlife and this is my preferred club. There are lots of machines and cardio and the staff are very nice. My only concern is that there are members who defintely don't clean the machines after themselves properly(using a dry paper towel that they used for the last 10 machines or just not cleaning the machine at all) and there are usually multiple people at the front desk. Would be nice to see some of them wandering around the club cleaning machines that aren't being used instead of standing around.

    Pros: Good location and open 24 hours. Spacious gym Decent equipments Cons: Too many people in peak hours- very hard to workout. People are very photo sensitive in this gym. Water fountain needs to be cleaned. Overall this gym is ok, I just wish it wasn’t as busy and members be more friendly.

    I can always count on Rita for a friendly greeting and a smile when I come to the gym. Her warm and cheery disposition is certainly the bright spot of my workout. She is very helpful with inquiries about my membership account and a pleasure to deal with. Rita knows me and my family (as well it seems, most if not all gym members) by name. Her presence adds to the positive atmosphere at the gym.

    Overall good gym, friendly staff and decent equipment. Problem is they close randomly with little to no notice. Their hours are a complete joke. You pay for a 24h gym but, they open and close randomly. Unless your a member with an old account who’s fee are significantly lower it’s not worth it.

    Terrible Experience. I am not one to write a bad reviews but this was over the top terrible. Called to cancel, membership wasn’t cancelled and payments were debited for over a month. Adam the manager was useless, condescending and rude. Did not even get back to me or address any of my issues concerning my membership after multiple calls/emails. Front desk staff was friendly but unable to help. Management needs customer service training. Would not recommend to anyone in the area.

    The lack of cleanliness here as of late concerns me, during covid they were on it. Now you never see the kids leave the desk. The water fountains are disgusting.

  • 2/5 Noelle J. 1 year ago on Google
    EDIT: originally three stars but i am going down to two. I paused my membership and they still charged me. I have no idea how a large chain gym cannot check this in time before the charge comes out. I specifically pay for the middle tier membership because it includes the “pause” option. Ridiculous. I was also called to reschedule my “free personal training session” because I didn’t go. Was not showing up not enough of a hint, especially when I didn’t want to go in the first place? Working out here is fine - theres always enough equipment thats clean, and its never extremely busy. The only reason i'm giving three stars is because of the membership setup process. I've been going to the gym for years and moved near this one a few months ago. I decided to get a membership online but it would not work. I went into the gym thinking I was going to be there for 10 minutes to sign up - I was there for an hour, talking to a trainer who was trying to talk me into personal training classes. I guess you get a free session when you sign up. I was not interested in the session and tried to be nice about it but they would not take no for an answer. I know its not the fault of the people who work here, but it is a very uncomfortable process that is just used to try and get you to pay for the personal training sessions.

    Rocking body combat classes at Goodlife Fitness Hemlock Square! The classes are led by high-energy professionals who engage fully in the high-intensity workouts from start to finish. I'm motivated to work harder every time I go. I'm hooked! Big thanks and shout out to Mahshid Bustani and Jenn Jackson whose classes I have experienced. Would love to see more classes from both.

    I have been going to this location for 2+ years. This is the best location in Atlantic Canada. Great equipment and the best/hottest sauna (great job on the reno's). It can be very busy in the early evenings during the week depending on the day.

  • 5/5 Stephen H. 9 months ago on Google
    I had to join here because the Fit4Less in Bedford got flooded. The people who work here are friendly and genuine, something I try to be with people every day too. So the vibes are really good! And I hope that'll allow me to keep going for more #nattygains. So thank you for the warm welcome everybody, and I wish you all well.

  • 1/5 zainab s. 6 months ago on Google
    Worst experience ever!! They refused to get me with my third training session that I paid for and the manager was convinced that I was trying to scam them!!! Treated me like trash!!! When I asked for a refund for the third session that I didn’t get he tried to tell me that i took all of them! So I explained for maybe four times that I didn’t take the third one, so his response was : I can’t refund you for your free session!!! Who said anything about the free session?! He talked to me like I was a criminal and it’s was extremely disrespectful.. Very disgusting behaviour from what supposed to be a manager.

    Ive gotta say, this GoodLife was the best one I’ve been to so far. The gym was never very busy, the manager Adam and his staff were super kind and helpful. it was a very clean facility with heaps of equipment. Highly recommend checking this one out if you live or are visiting Halifax.

  • 5/5 Linda F. 1 year ago on Google
    A very nice gym, fully equipped, and clean. The service is excellant and the staff are very friendly, but the best in this gym is the personal trainer Mr. Dave Frances. I have been training with Dave for the past 4 years, his expertise in back and core fitness changed my posture and overcame my scoliosis. Could always trust his knowledge and attentiveness to the proper technique and form while doing my exercise. I am very grateful for his motivation and caring. Good job Dave!

  • 5/5 Mungi J. 1 year ago on Google
    They are cleaned every day, so it's nice and clean. The staff are also very friendly. If the rating limit is 10 stars, I would give it 10 stars.

  • 5/5 Tantia F. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a really good experience signing up at the gym today! Very welcoming! They sit you down and go through details that will benefit you in a long run to meet your goals! I had an awesome member named Will and he should be recognized for his awesome knowledge and recruitment. You can tell he's very passionate with helping others to reach there goals and spreading word about wellness! Very excited to start at goodlife!

  • 4/5 Philippe M. 1 year ago on Google
    Overall, I like the gym but one thing that bothers me is when I come in and I see 3 employees chatting at the welcome desk, not even acknowledging members coming in, with one guy with his back turned, sitting on the desk. This is particularly bad during the weekend. I'm not sure what their purpose is if they are going to ignore basic manners.

    I was here visiting my family and came to workout and I had a wonderful experience. This will definitely be my workout spot anytime I come to visit my family in the area. Great service, clean equipment and friendly staff!

    I found Haley to be a astounding employee. My service here was amazing and she just kept finding ways to brighten my day. I found the cleanliness of the gym to be immaculate and the service was incredible. Would recommend!

    Not bad, but sackville is way better. The weight area just seems crowded and a lot of equipment is always in use.
