Gym is almost always overcrowded but so is every GoodLife gym. Equipment is very cramped. It seems nobody is cleaning. In the winter you have to take your shoes off and walk all the way to the change room which is exactly at the opposite of the front door, your feet will get wet and dirty. This is because they don't have a cleaning person anymore.The admins and the personal trainers are kind of suppose to look after the cleanliness of the gym. They are trying to save from everything and make as much profit as possible in my opinion, but this effects the quality of the gym. It seems like they trying to implement the Planet Fitness model of running the gym, but the problem is you have to pay way more than what you pay for Planet Fitness. This doesn't surprise me though. All goodlife gyms are kind of the same very good in the beginning and a year and a half after they drop the ball. Forgot to mention but when is raining or the snow melts on the roof the ceiling is almost always dripping and you have to deal with the buckets that they put to collect the water. At the end I would like to say that this is just MY OPINION and you don't have to agree with it. I also don't want to discuss anything with the management of any GoodLife fitness establishments, they can take this review as constructive criticism and improove the quality or not take any action. For the people that will ask why I keep going to this gym because I live right next to it and it is very convenient for me.

The Eagles Nest is the best place to train! It has the most friendly staff and extremely knowledgeable trainers! Very clean and never crazy busy. Highly recommended :D

It’s a clean gym with friendly staff. It’s on the smaller side. While fairly well equipped, there aren’t too many options. Equipment is somewhat crammed. The cardio area downstairs has a lot of windows but the weight training area upstairs is rather dark. Personal training area takes up quite a bit of the weight training area upstairs. Change rooms, washrooms and showers are very clean.

Compared to other goodlife gyms in ottawa, this one is very small. Not enough space btwn treadmills, machines are very close to each other, showers are not clean, and tiny locker room

Very large gym with a lot of great and varied equipment.

Peter is an awesome trainer and a very fine person. He really cares about his clients and wants to help them be the best they can be. I have been training with Peter for almost 3 years , can’t say enough about being inspired by Peter to stay the course! Thank-you

My child used this Gym prior to Covid and we called Gym to cancel membership during shutdown. Subsequently we never returned to GL and nor intended to do that. In Aug after reopen, GL send an email to let us know that they automatically renewed the membership. Unfortunately email was not noted and we still get charged monthly fees. GL store and head office claim that membership renewal are automatic "unless specifically requested not to" -- Not ethical practice as any renewal/fee charge should get written or verbal consent, not just throw out an email without any response, and continue to charge fees when customer has 0 record of using the facility. They could easily called the number on file to confirm renewal. Shame on Good Life ! Update: Filed fraud charge with my bank to start dispute process. you can justify your unethical practice all you want but it is fraud in my view.

This is a beautiful built and brand new gym. Two floors with lots to do and work on. The personal trainers are all super friendly. The place is always clean. I wish people would clean the machines after though, it's gross.

For gym goers, this is a «  get down to business » gym. The operation is run smoothly and the exercise areas are clearly marked off. If you need any help, the staff is always ready to help at any time. Hours are good by comparison to other gyms and the equipment is clean and well maintained.

Was a member with Goodlife for quite a few years, but got tired of their facilities. Most of them seem to somehow get leaks in their roofs which making the gym not so pleasant to attend. And there isn't enough lifting equipment/platforms for the amount of people signed up so you spend a lot of time waiting. If you just want the basics, you'd probably be fine but if you like to use the platforms and lift maybe try somewhere else.

Awesome staff and definitely one of the cleanest gyms in Ottawa. Has everything you need and more. Peak times are always a bit more crowded so if your like me sometimes try to avoid 5-7pm Mon-Wed, dies as the week goes on. Weekends except for the morning class rush are a great time to workout.

The atmosphere here is great. I really feel like there isn't any judgment at this gym. The personal training is fantastic and has really helped me in my fitness goals, and the facilities are in great shape and lots of equipment to use.

Had a really great experience with the gym. The staff members are welcoming as compared to the other clubs. This is so far the most clean gym by huge margins, plus you get the added bonus of great staff and trainers.

This is by far my favourite GoodLife (affectionately known as the Eagles Nest) in the city- the staff are friendly and knowledgeable- it is super clean- the covid precautions have been well adhered to. Even other gym goers are super here about masking and cleaning and keeping your distance.

Excellent facility, love the many different classes. Plenty of space and extremely well organized at ensuring all safety procedures and rules are followed, doing a wonderful job.
