The new club is fabulous. So many classes to choose from. I am writing to say how great the staff is. In particular Markus and Kevin. They call me by name. I recently lost a strap when I participated in a boxing class. It appeared that it had vanished forever. Weeks later, Markus saw me enter the club and called me over as my strap had been turned in. I had forgotten about it, but Markus had not! Kevin also calls me by name. Kevin answered my call to inquire about missing rings my daughter had lost. As there were numerous rings, he suggested coming in to check what they had. Again as I entered he asked if I wanted to see the rings. It is really nice to have that personalized touch, particularly in a gym who sees numerous members each day.

I saw all these broken machines in one day. Some of their machines left behind broken for months, and Especially drinking water filters defective which is a health issue. I don’t even know if this gym has a manager.

I have visited many GoodLife’s around Ottawa and this one is my favourite. It is a very comfortable environment and amazing staff. Especially, Kevin. Kevin is the main reason why I come to this specific location. He is so friendly and always greets me with a warm welcome. He is so friendly and is such a great motivator. He goes above and beyond whenever I have questions and need help with anything. I always want to feel comfortable when I’m at the gym and Kevin never fails to do so. It’s a shame to see him go because he is what makes this place feel like home.

I am posting on behalf of my partner. With everything that has happened over the weekend (lack of power, etc.). This location was one of the only locations that was not affected by a loss of power. I wanted to thank Kevin at the front desk as he was kind and courteous on the phone. When my partner attended the gym to take a shower, he kindly offered a towel when my partner does not have it on their membership and was kind enough to charge my partner's phone and power bank during this time. I noticed that Kevin was not just doing this for myself but for many others as well. Kevin was also very talented multitasker to be providing great customer service on the phone and in person! Thank you Kevin for being so thoughtful and helpful during a difficult time for many. I am sure many other members have appreciated it as well!

I called the other day to inquire about signing up. The person on the phone, Kevin, was very helpful with explaining the differences between memberships that were offered online. He went through the various machines that were available on the premise and advised that I had a potential corporate discount. He was very patient with explaining how I can verify my discount and made it easier to apply than following a cookbook recipe! I can't wait to start working out!

This is an awesome place to workout!!! Although it can get quite busy at times, usually around 3pm to 6pm. There is a large variety of machines and has everything you need. Even has a recovery room, hot yoga, and a fitness studio!!!!! It’s also open 24 hours so come by a 3am!!😃😄😄😄😃😃😁🙃😆.

Beautiful and clean gym with professional and friendly staff. The only downside is that it gets extremely busy in the evenings and sometimes you’ll have to wait upwards of 20 minutes to use a machine in the weight lifting area. Its particularly bad during the summer, since teens are able to workout for free and most of them spend time texting and chatting with friends and hog the machines. I recommend going early in the morning to avoid this :)

Recently joined this club and attended my first ever iRide class, this was definitely a unique experience. The cycling was intense but add on top the immersive environment, it took it to another level. I also had an opportunity to try the REGYMEN classes and it’s amazing how much you can burn within an hour. Week 2 still going at it and I appreciate the morning 6 am classes offered at this site. This gym is fairly big but easy to navigate within. All equipment and workout stations are organized and grouped logically. Staff are also welcoming and helpful, appreciate the overall atmosphere of this place!

There are a lot of choices for machines and free weights. The staff are extremely friendly. The lockers are clean and there are enough massage chairs. The only downside is the towels which are not absorbent at all. I’ve contacted management about a year ago and the response I got was that the gym gets their towels from a central location. It doesn’t alleviate my problem of trying to dry off with the equivalent of a tea towel. I’m sure this is an easily fixable solution if the desire was there to elevate the member experience.

I’ve been working out for 12 years. This by far is my favourite gym of all the places I’ve been to. This is the biggest Goodlife gym in all of Canada for those of you who didn’t know the fact. It’s pretty busy from 5-7 in the evenings. They have a lot of equipment to accommodate the huge crowd though. The equipment is great, well maintained. The changing rooms are clean, much cleaner than most other gyms I’ve been to. They have a nice spa. The massage rooms are great. The staff is super friendly and helpful. You can also get personal training if you want and they also have classes like power yoga. They recently started outdoors gym this year during the summer (haven’t tried it personally and is closed during winters) which inclines towards cross-fit or calisthenics type training. I’m very happy with my membership here and it’s totally worth what I’m paying for. Highly recommend you check out this gym.

I use this gym mostly for weight lifting. The equipment variety and quantity is really good. There is enough, even during peak hours you don't have to wait. It is very spacious, illuminated and well ventilated. I also have a good discount via corporate membership. Perfect for my needs.

Great gym. A lot of amenities, can get very crowded, air conditioning can be funny sometimes, bring a towel. And the water fountain filters have needed to be replaced for a couple months now. Great staff. Super welcoming and energetic

I've been in gyms for 20+ years all over Canada. I've never seen any gym come even remotely close to being as busy as this place. I've been using this goodlife now for a month and it's insane how crowded it is. Otherwise it's a cool place though, I feed off of the energy of the 600 people around me.

The Hazeldean Mall location has it all. Clean environment and friendly staff help returning to this location easy. I don’t live in Kanata but the commute to the Hazeldean location is worth it because of their massive square footage, tons of squat racks and well laid out atmosphere. Shout out to an FA named Aaron. B, his friendly attitude, overall knowledge of fitness and willingness to help others is much appreciated!!! I also find anyone at the front desk to be welcoming, pleasant and helpful :)

I am writing this to say how amazing the staff is in this location. I was looking to join a gym and looking at options before moving cities. I visited the Goodlife Kanata location and met Kevin. He was super welcoming. When I explained him about my situation, he took the time to show me around and let me know about the corporate location in my new city. He also let me know about different classes to choose from. Thank you Kevin for being welcoming, understanding and providing me with all information I needed. Would recommend this gym and go look for Kevin if you need help, he is the best!

I've been doing personal training with Kyle Treurniet since Sept 2022, and I've had an amazing experience. He is incredibly knowledgeable, motivating, patient and kind. I absolutely love following along with his workout programs and value his feedback. Kyle is the reason I started powerlifting! He made me realize how capable I am and that it's never too late to start. By listening to him and incorporating his advice, all 3 of my lifts have greatly improved, and so has my range of motion!! I'm stronger, more confident, and in way better shape than I was when I first started! I'm excited to keep going and see where my fitness journey leads. If you're on the fence, just go for it! Invest in yourself and hire Kyle. You 1000% won't regret it!

I wanted to share a 5 star review for Russ, my personal trainer at the Goodlife. Russ helped me transform my body and life by pushing me to reach new personal bests with each session. I had lower back pain and mobility issues but with decompression and strength training, I am now fully relieved of any pain and tension. and can see and feel the changes in my life each day. Initially I thought I couldn't afford a personal trainer, and now I realize I couldn't afford not to have one. This was the best money I've spent on myself and I'm so grateful for the impact it had on my body, mind and soul. Thank you Russ!

Don't store anything in this gym. My coat was stolen in the middle of the winter, while i was visiting over Christmas, and I was told there is nothing to be done, sorry. No manager was called, and I was told that it's not in their power to check tapes. Absolutely atrocious. Police report has been filed. Edit: talked to the manager the next day, and was told he will look at the cameras, with lots of repetitive mention of how tedious is was. Thank you to him for doing that, as it is required if I had a chance at finding my coat. There needs to be preventative policies in place for this. I was told by the manager that this happens in every single club in the country and they are powerless. Build combo locks into the lockers to remove any barrier to locking the doors. Remove the coat rack which is just out in the open, or move it to where there are cameras watching. Put lockers where cameras can see them. Do something to protect the paying patrons at the gym.

I love going to this location in the morning before work when it is less busy. The variety and amount of equipment (including the impressive amount of squat racks) means I rarely if ever have to wait for equipment. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is good!

Very Professional Welcoming Gym located in the heart of Kanata. Highly recommended to Professional athletes , First responders , Army personal and average fitness enthusiasts. When switching from another gym I had a bad experience with I explained my situation and there hospitality was unmatched. 10/10 Best Gym in Ottawa.

My trainer Mike Macleod is everything and more you would expect from a professional trainer. For over five years I have appreciated Mikes many abilities, professional, thoughtful, focused yet he makes every scission enjoyable. Over time like many of us I have had injuries not due to my work outs but to everyday life, when you are active something is always bound to happen. Mikes unique ability is his through knowledge of body mechanics and how to set you on a path to recovery. This is an amazing ability which goes far beyond fitness training. It leaves me with a great sense of confidence in my daily activities. What a thoughtful and professional trainer, thank you Mike.

Awesome gym. I worked out here while on business trip, paying a drop-in fee and attending my fav BodyPump class. New equipment, good lighting, good atmosphere, very kind staff. I wish I could attend this gym more often.

JEN - At the front desk is a great way to start your workout! Always friendly with a "Hello your name and a good morning " when you enter the gym. It maybe goodlife's flagship location but most of the equipment is old and in need of replacement. Often there are multiple machines down at the same time.

I visited this Goodlife from Toronto. I'm very impressed with this facility . Equipment was available even if it was busy. Plenty of lifting platforms. Lounge area, hot yoga and the functional room looked really good. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I have a service dog with me and I have had some trouble with other Goodlifes, but this location is fantastic . Keep up the good work

Lukas has been my trainer over a year and his performance has been excellent. He is very attentive, knowledgeable and great to work with. Lukas has motivated me to the point where I am achieving my fitness goals.

Great place, new outdoor training area is beautiful and refreshing. Staff is very helpful. Trainer have good knowledge and help the customers when required. All the machines are new and clean environment available. Sometime there is line up for massage table especially for hydro massage. Washrooms, bath station and locker area is very neat and clean. They also have services such as tan, spa and yoga. Hot yoga is must try for everyone at least 1 session is available for everyone for free.

Huge facility with a wide range of equipment. You could also find massage, sauna, tanning rooms and much more. Huge shout-out to the staff and crew for keeping such a large gym clean throughout. Great job!

I recently signed on for 12 months of personal training with Robin and am very pleased to say it has been amazing so far! She is very experienced/knowledgable and has made my first month of training a very enjoyable and motivating experience. I am already seeing great results not only physically but mentally as well and I cannot wait to continue the rest of the year under Robin's coaching.

Ended up switching gyms bc of travel time, these guys made it way easier than expected. I’m used to a lot of haggling, not at all here. Aaron was extremely nice and helpful! Staff here genuinely just want to help and make sure everyone gets a good workout experience. If I ever live nearby again I’ll definitely be back. :)

It was my first time going to a gym and Sam was incredible help! He made our sessions really enjoyable, super informative and encouraging :) I came to the gym to start a regular routine and he provided me with tons of useful information on how to get going and workout with proper form. If you're looking into one on one sessions with a PT I highly recommend Sam!

Great location at Hazeldean. Welcoming and helpful staff/management. Busy but not too crowded. Personal trainers are great and knowledgeable, I see Mike Level 4 trainer. I highly recommend him as a trainer due to his professionalism and ability to communicate his training knowledge -Explaining and showing how to do the exercise properly prior to you doing it. He watches your form during the exercise and also corrects your stance during the exercise being done if needed. Very happy over all with the experience at this location😊

I went in to check the place out for the first time and had an amazing experience! Brenna gave me a tour and helped me set up a membership. She was fantastic! I also spoke with Peter, head of personal training, also amazing! They were both encouraging, enthusiastic and welcoming. Plus the location has a “Mind den”, if you have a busy like style or just need some quite space this spot is a total dream.

Very friendly staff. I signed up there recently, and dealt with several people, all of which were friendly, and made my sign up process easy. I was given a nice tour of the gym and even got a free workout to try it out (loved it). Very big gym, lots of machines to chose from, solid equipment. If you're into squats/cleans/deadlifts and other power lifts, they have the weight plates that are coated in some sort of rubber and they have platforms in front of each rack where you can do your lifts.

Great gym and staff over all. Kept cleaner than other gyms I've been part of. Julia ( manager ) is the best. Always there to help. They have everything you could want and more. Lots of squat racks and smith machines as well as bench press. This is always a hardship at other gyms as they have limited numbers and you are always waiting. That's not the case here.

Great vibe! It's a really nice gym, huge. Just a bit crowded and it would be awesome if they increased their group fitness class (like step/attack). Great gym though, I love the atmosphere! I drove up today and it made me smile to see so many cars in the parking lot for this gym on a Saturday morning!

Good equipment and big place. While signing up a new membership a staff promised 1 month only deal and will be cancelled afterwards. When spoke to manager about this, he says there is no such deal and he is least bother to address my issue and top that he replied saying that he will consider this as feedback and let higher management be aware. Staff is there to just great people, keep environment clean and when real challenging situation arises, many are not trained/capable of handling the situation.

My daughter and I have both benefited from the expertise and support from our personal trainer, Lukas McKinnon. His extensive knowledge allows him to personalize a unique workout plan for each of us. He is motivated, reliable and has a wonderful sense of humour. He is a true professional who makes it easy to push yourself. Highly recommended!
