    This GoodLife located at the Oshawa Center is honestly one of the top GoodLife locations I’ve attended with the staff, and other gym goers being friendly/helpful. Everyone seems to take care of the gym. From cleaning up after themselves, and putting equipment away. All equipment also are repaired quickly. Everything is maintained properly and the environment from the gym floor to the change room is clean/tidy. There tons of machines, squat racks, bench’s, even during busy times I’ve attended. No real complaints The entrance to this gym can be access either from the food court side of the mall going down the stairs/elevator or coming from the underground garage located on the backside of the mall. Plenty of parking

    Been to many good life gyms around me. The Oshawa centre one is by far the best. It’s so clean and everyone is friendly and helpful. Out of three months of coming here I’ve never seen anyone without a smile or having any negative energy. The help and kindness from some of the staff such as Daryl, Tyler, Dani and Michelle is remarkable and very important to members. This gym has made me feel like all my goals are achievable and I have heard the same from others. Everyday I come here I am excited to workout. Big shoutout to everyone who works here you’re all appreciated hope to see even more from you guys

    It’s a decent gym that my brother and I enjoy. I like the fact that it has 4 bench press benches so I never have to wait too long. The gym tends to be busiest on Monday evening. One thing I’d recommend is putting up notices reminding people to wipe machines after use. It’s good to get the youth used to this respectful and good practice early.

    This gym is good but the LED lights on the ceiling are way too bright. Your constantly being blasted by unnatural light. I hope they can dim the place just like the Whitby location.

    I attended three classes this past week and absolutely loved it! My first time ever doing Body Pump and the teacher, Nikki, was super motivational. She made an effort to engage with everyone in the class and had a very uplifting spirit. Her positive energy had me feeling amazing even though I was struggling to keep up! It’s way harder than it looks! The gym is also super super clean.

    An amazing gym with a great staff who are both kind and approachable. The best gym in Oshawa by far! And if you are looking for a personal trainer i recommend Josh who was my personal trainer for a year, he is extremely kind, caring and will help you with whatever exercise need you might have, for example my knee had problems and Josh didn’t need to but he made a whole plan in his free time that he gave to me which has stretches and exercises and they have helped me so much, if you can pick a personal trainer I recommend that you pick Josh as he goes above and beyond and treats you like a friend rather than a client.

    I am a person who does not know how to exercise, and does not know what exercise is suitable for me. If I have back pain, I will go to massage, and if I lose weight, I will only know to take diet pills. But in the past six months, I was fortunate to know my first personal trainer - Jake. In addition to teaching me what exercise is, he also taught me the benefits of various exercises to my body. He is professional, he designed trainings which suitable for my body. Although each training session is not easy, every time I completed the challenge again and again. In addition to the improvement of my body and physique, I also have a great change in my mentality. I learned to complete it step by step for my target, It will eventually come to the goal. Thank you Jake, it's a shame I can't continue to study with you, but I will remember what you taught, I will keep it up. If a friend is looking for a personal trainer, needless to say who is a highly recommendation.

    Staff are very professional and actually quite friendly compared to any other Goodlife location I have been to. The location is decently clean and members seem to be adhering to the policies without any issues. Lots of equipment and usually don't have an issue trying to use or wait for the machine I need to use. I wish there were other locations in Oshawa but this one is great.

    This gym is great. However I really wish that they would bring back the FULL pre covid fitness classes. 9:30am weekday spots used to be Bodypump, bodystep and body combat. Miss those days and those classes.

  • 4/5 Dylan F. 3 months ago on Google • 10 reviews New
    Great for the morning workout, avoid this gum after 4 pm. Bunch of juicers that are upset when you are using the ONLY good peck deck there. Also lots of people that love to hog two machines at once. Other than that great staff in the mornings.

  • 1/5 Ahmad S. 3 months ago on Google • 6 reviews New
    Expensive, little distance between machine, close early in weekend, customer service take long long time to answer and they don’t fix your problem

  • 5/5 james b. 7 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    Great gym and usually able to get all machines. Only thing i would like to see is better lat pulldown bars, i find they are too thick. The stainless steel bars are alot better and a bit thinner making my forearms not as tired. Overall great gym

    I have been a member at GoodLife gym in Oshawa for quite some time now, and I must say that my experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I joined, the staff at this gym has always been approachable, friendly, and incredibly helpful. One aspect that stands out about GoodLife Oshawa is the professionalism and expertise of their personal trainers. My son has been fortunate enough to have Josh as his personal trainer for the past year, and I cannot emphasize enough how excellent Josh has been in his role. His dedication, knowledge, and commitment to my son's fitness journey have truly made a positive impact. Josh's approach to personal training is both motivating and inspiring. He takes the time to understand my son's goals and tailors each session to ensure maximum results. Josh's expertise and ability to push my son beyond his limits have been instrumental in helping him achieve significant progress. Not only is Josh incredibly knowledgeable about fitness and exercise techniques, but he also possesses excellent interpersonal skills. He has built a strong rapport with my son, making each session enjoyable and something to look forward to. Beyond the personal training experience, GoodLife gym in Oshawa offers a wide range of equipment and facilities that cater to all fitness levels and goals. The gym is always well-maintained, clean, and equipped with state-of-the-art machines. The staff members are readily available to assist with any questions or concerns, making the overall gym experience comfortable and hassle-free. In addition to the top-notch personal training and facility, the atmosphere at GoodLife Oshawa is incredibly welcoming. The gym fosters a positive and inclusive environment where everyone feels motivated and encouraged to reach their fitness goals. Overall, I highly recommend GoodLife gym in Oshawa. Their staff members are approachable, friendly, and always willing to lend a helping hand. If you're fortunate enough to have Josh as your personal trainer, you can expect an exceptional fitness journey filled with professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. GoodLife gym in Oshawa is definitely the place to be for a rewarding fitness experience!

    Whoever the manager is I think her name is Alex? She is amazing at helping where help is needed and has completely helped change my life for the better. She has guided me through all my obstacles and I would highly recommend this gym. Thank you so much for all your support and help. I hope you never leave!!!!

  • 5/5 Ayush M. 5 months ago on Google
    Good spacious gym. Has all the equipments you need. Make washroom/shower is a little dingy, not a big fan of the shower curtains.

  • 5/5 Joseph N. 9 months ago on Google
    The GM Alex was absolutely amazing and a pleasure to meet. I forgot the name of the front desk associates however, the team over at GoodLife Oshawa surpasses any customer experience I have ever received. Thank you for the VIP treatment and showing that you actually care for your clientele!

  • 5/5 Kendra R. 10 months ago on Google
    Best gym I have been too. At first I was very hesitant to switch from my original gym to this one but I’m glad I did it’s awesome. All the staff are amazing and always so friendly. Jim is always super clean and well-kept

  • 5/5 Corey C. 10 months ago on Google
    The Oshawa GoodLife is the best location in the Durham Region in my opinion. I commute out of my area to go there as they have the best equipment and the layout of the gym it’s perfectly spread out. Every one of the staff are extremely pleasant, helpful and they care about the clientele. Very impressed, I intend to keep going there as always.

  • 5/5 Kingsley F. 10 months ago on Google
    GoodLife Fitness is outstanding! Impeccable facility, knowledgeable trainers, and a motivating environment. Modern equipment, friendly staff, and a wide range of group classes. The app is convenient for scheduling and tracking progress. They prioritize member experience with challenges and events. Highly recommended for all fitness levels. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! Also, Raq is the best!

  • 5/5 Maria D. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently rejoined the gym after a 3 year hiatus due to Covid. I decided to sign up for 7, 1 hour session after an initial session with Trainer, Ernie Mackean because I wanted to get reacquainted with the weights and form and make sure that I was actually doing things properly. Ernie was fantastic to work with, he is very knowledgeable, a great coach who pushes you enough to build your confidence while making sure that you’re comfortable. The way that he explains the why, how and how often are valuable tools that I will take with me going forward. If you are looking for a personal trainer, I HIGHLY recommend Ernie!!

  • 5/5 Dee G. 1 year ago on Google
    Love going to this gym. The atmosphere is so comforting with so many friendly people. The staff are top notch. I attend the RPM and Body Pump classes regularly as the instructors are motivating and encouraging. No judgement just accomplishments.

  • 4/5 Paula C. 2 years ago on Google
    Needs more hot yoga classes with instructors. I’m not a fan of self-guided classes especially since it’s the same price… I don’t get why I’d pay for a class without an instructor. Same with Ajax location.

  • 5/5 Roberto M. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been to majority of GoodLife’s gym in a Durham Region and this location is always the top club for me. The staff there are phenomenal and are always hard working. They treat you like part of the GoodLife family. The club is always clean no matter what time or day of the week it is. Any issues gets resolved right away and they don’t pass the buck to another club or head office. I have been working with Carm 2-3X a week since 2020 and she is amazing. She has tailored a workout regimen that works with me and my goals. Even through the lockdowns she kept me accountable to my goals via text. She is not just a trainer but a great person talk to. Always giving great advice or just hearing me vent about my day. If you need a reason to start working out there then hopefully this review is a start.

  • 5/5 Natalie C. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a great gym and location, this is by far one of the best layouts of all the gyms I've been too. The staff are always nice and professional, and they remain calm, even when obnoxious people complain about the procedures of the gym. I love that this gym is adding more fitness classes and times, as we continue to open further. The managers, Alex and Lee are so pleasant and always there to help their patrons.

  • 5/5 stephanie s. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredible group classes and instructors! I always get a great workout with a smile on my face 😁Everyone is very respectful towards each other in regards to distancing and cleaning their equipment after use, from what I've witnessed. The staff always greet me when I come in and leave, and the atmosphere feels so welcoming.

  • 5/5 Dani w. 2 years ago on Google
    I absolutely LOVE this club. This club has such an amazing staff, they are always so kind and welcoming. I really enjoy the atmosphere from the staff and members at this location. I am excited for the classes they have added to their schedule I am pumped to see more instructors as they do prenominal job teaching. 10/10 would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Keidre M. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a great gym! I love how welcoming it is. All the staff are friendly and respectful.

  • 5/5 MG F. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a great conversation with Jon over the phone about getting started on my weight loss journey. I've never worked out in the gym before, so I was a little intimidated on coming in, but he assured me that he would guide me every step of the way. Jon greeted me at the door coming to my appointment. He was super friendly and knowledgeable. He introduced me to a personal trainer and booked me in for a session for FREE! Overall, great experience, amazing staff and clean club! Super excited to work out would recommend 10/10!

  • 5/5 Meghan J. 2 years ago on Google
    This is my favourite gym to go to! Staff are really nice, gym is very clean and everyone is always so helpful and accommodating. Their group classes are amazing and they have such a friendly environment, I always get such a good workout in while having fun!

  • 5/5 Nnolika N. 1 year ago on Google
    I just want to take a moment to say that this location is phenomenal. The staff here are very courteous and always have an active presence on the floor. The GM and AGM do an excellent job in promoting a positive and caring club culture and it can be seen throughout all of their interactions with their team and members. On top the amazing culture the club is extremely clean! On numerous occasions I've witnessed Alisha detail cleaning and sanitizing the machines. Out of all of the Goodlife's in Durham, this is hands-down the best location!

  • 5/5 Eric B. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful and knowledgeable staff. They went out of their way to give me a great experience and Brianna was able to help me settle a past balance from 2018 after I had a knee injury and wasn't able to continue my membership. Flash forward to today and now able to set up a new membership without costing me anything extra. I'm really impressed with the staff and highly recommend seeing Brianna directly if you get the chance. She was always very friendly and getting me acquainted with the set up of the gym and programs. I can't say enough good things about this gym. Very spacious and clearly new equipment, clean. Everything you could need in a gym.

  • 5/5 Cameron Mountenay (. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff always helpful and even know me on a first name basis. I'm an avid group fitness participant and seeing the manger (Alex) participating in class is something I rarely ever saw in the 9 years I have been a member. Alex has a great team and truly cares about her members. The instructors at this club are by far some of the most experienced dedicated and fun people I have ever met - Meghan, Nikki, Andrea Jenn have all come from other clubs and along with Alex have created a great group fitness culture at the OC. Thanks

  • 5/5 Lee W. 1 year ago on Google
    This gym is one of the cleanest ones I’ve been in! The staff are polite knowledgeable and have answered all of the questions I’ve had! In my opinion you should really come and experience it for yourself you won’t be disappointed

  • 5/5 Ali B. 1 year ago on Google
    Just joined!! Had haider sign me up he did and amazing job explaining how everything works I was a happy customer. If you are looking to work out without the gym always being packed this is an amazing location for that as they have tons of the same Machines so you can always find what you are looking for :)

  • 5/5 Susan S. 1 year ago on Google
    I am having an AWESOME personal training experience. I signed up for a year of training with Jake! I had an injury that was really draining my energy and pushing me further away from goals. Jake is super supportive, knowledgeable and professional. I am healed , pain free and I managed to avoid surgery and more aggressive treatments! He taught me the importance of patience and consistency! I can’t wait to set some new goals now that Jake has helped me over this hurdle. I highly recommend this experience for anyone who needs support, accountability and results!!!!!! Thank you Jake!!!!!

  • 5/5 Dezirae R. 1 year ago on Google
    The GoodLife fitness in the Oshawa centre mall is the cleanest facility I’ve ever been to. The staff is very nice and friendly and were very keen to answer any questions I had. The staff member I had helping me is named Brooke and she made me feel very welcomed. I will definitely be attending this gym more regularly!

  • 5/5 Brayden L. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been coming to this location for years, and it’s because of the amazing cheerful staff that’s always supportive at the front desk, the space is big and clean, many options available and I love that it’s in the basement so the weather doesn’t jeopardize the quality of my workout. On days I don’t feel like working out I force myself to come just for the social aspect as the encounters w the staff, they’re full of energy and encouragement. Best GoodLife I’ve been too 😁

  • 5/5 Jennifer R. 1 year ago on Google
    The Oshawa centre GoodLife is a second home to me. Every morning I look forward to going to the gym and getting to see the beautiful smiles and positivity from the incredible staff. Best GoodLife staff I’ve encountered. The entire team is always welcoming, kind, and ready to help you with whatever success you are looking for! The team work so hard to keep the gym clean, and I mean very clean. I love the the Oshawa Centre team. They make my day, everyday! If I could give them 10/10 I would!

  • 5/5 Sear S. 2 years ago on Google
    Well-equipped workout place. TYLER was very informative of the brand, gym and excersizes. He gave a very good presentation and tour. I went for a quick look but ended up with lots of information about what I could get and how much to pay. It is fair!!!

  • 3/5 J W. 4 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Facilities are clean with every machine you can think of. Staff are friendly for the most part, though some more than others. There is one worker that seems to be more concerned with socializing than doing his job. He won’t bother greeting you or even acknowledging you unless you’re a bro or a good-looking woman (he devotes extra attention to those!) The rest of the staff are usually very kind and will make an effort to say hello and goodbye. He really needs to do better.

    I had the most amazing experience here the gym is clean, the staff are great!!! I started this membership I believe 2 years ago and a year ago for the purposes of my career I was pursing I decided to do the 12 month training program. My Trainer was Jake and he was the absolute best he works with you and pushes you to always do your best and never makes you feel discouraged if you don't finish the set. What matters is you were able to push yourself to failure in the set and that speaks louder. He is dedicated to helping you reach your goal whether it be strength, weightloss and etc. I just got in to my career and I owe a large portion of that to him he got me physically able to preform the duties of my job and I will continue to carry on what he has taught me to my future sessions at the gym. As well looking at my before and after photos while working with him I never thought I'd see my belly shrink that much in one year.

    For me, the best parts of this gymnasium are twofold, location and historically, the staff. The location is at the Oshawa Centre and the gym sits under the mall, accessible via a huge underground parking area, great in the winter and safe! The staff have also been a highlight over the last couple years, especially the girls at the main desk Kim, Christine, Denise and maintenance person Alisha. To me, these people made it a family atmosphere, like a team spirit and I always look forward to their relaxed encouragement and friendliness! I should note that in the fall of 2023 there appears to have been a change in management and direction, and from my perspective, not necessarily a good change. The place and personnel seems less happy, the vibe less familiar and somehow like staff is walking on eggshells. I know they have lost several employees since the change and new employees have made no effort to make me or my workout pals feel welcome. I sure hope they don’t loose more especially the A team I mentioned above! I have worked in a toxic environment in the past so I hope GoodLife Canada can get this great gym and it’s great team back to its happy place before my next renewal!!
