😠 Someone here needs to explain to me why the paper towel dispenser located between the group fitness studio and the cycling studio is more bolted to the ground (4 bolts) than all of the plate loaded hammer strength machines combined. I'll wait... No where near enough adjustable benches and dumbbells... People often mention staff, equipment, great, good, clean, trainer, location, friendly, sauna, time,

    Someone here needs to explain to me why the paper towel dispenser located between the group fitness studio and the cycling studio is more bolted to the ground (4 bolts) than all of the plate loaded hammer strength machines combined. I'll wait... No where near enough adjustable benches and dumbbells for a gym this size. But don't worry there's 24 treadmills. Typically maybe 6 used max. I also need to know which design company thought that putting a towel hook at eye level on the inside of a shower door that swings was a good idea. I really wanna meet this person.

    Thank you for being 24hrs again! This is one of my favourite locations, it’s been around a long time and I’ve been coming to this location since 2011. This location has many machines and areas that aren’t found at other locations. It’s been renovated a few times and has a mix of old and new machines but all are in working order. Pool, studio, turf zone , massage chairs and cycle room along with GL standard equipment Parking you need to get a pass at front desk and display on dash, there’s plenty of parking both underground and outside. Staff since pandemic are new and younger but service is still there

    I wouldn't recommend this branch as other ppl mentioned coz " Trainer " who are college students looking, they are just wondering around at gym chatting with co-workers by the machines always and don't even pay attention to customers. Or just they don't know what to do I assume😅?That's really poor thing. They should be the ones who needs TRAINED by" Professional Trainer" at least once ,then they learn how to deal with customers . When I join this gym, there were many nice/friendly stuff and well maintained everything but I don't see them anymore those couple month I feel like I pay for college gym . Also one of reason why I decided to come here was punching bag. But it has been in maintenance for over a month . Guess the Manager of Dufferin n Finch branch does really good job so far.

    I have been visiting this gymnasium for several years. In general, there is everything to support yourself in physical form. But the technical maintenance of the secondary rooms suffers, toilet seats are often out of order, or problems with water taps, locker doors in the locker room are out of order. Massage chairs often do not fully function. There is a lot of dust on the lockers in the locker room, and on the walls and ceiling near the ventilation openings, drinking pots are often poorly washed, and the second heater in the sauna is constantly not working properly.

    Extremely unfriendly staffs who are don't know much or lie. I called about a free 1 day trial for my friend and they said it hasn't been available for weeks and that I must pay the $25 fee. However I had no problem booking the 1 day free trial for my friend at a different location after that call. When I called back again here to ask what the issue was, a different staff said they would make a pass for my friend this time. Either they are incompetent and didn't know until they saw it working out with another location or they lied. Not sure what's worse, but I know this is a location to be avoided and looked at.

    I just drove up here as I work in the area once a week and it costs 3.00 minimum to park and it's private, not green p. That's super lame, I live dt, and it's cheaper, and they only charge by the hour so my 45 minute workout isn't worth it. Bullocks.

    I’m not a big fan of the layout of this gym. It’s also incredibly busy. There are more than enough Cardio machines and a good selection of weight machines. However the free weight section is very small relative to how busy this gym gets at peak times. There are times where I can’t do workouts that I had planned to because of the free weights area is packed like a can or sardines. There are a good amount of plate loading machines, but not enough cables. There is one big multi cable machine that allows for a multitude of exercises. But only one dual cable machine that is available to non training clients, as the Free Motion dual cable cross is in the Personal Training area. There is a long turf mat which is a good size. Overall this gym isn’t the best. Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays at peak times are way too busy. I can’t imagine what it’s going to be like after New Years. On a side note: the free weights area smelled like urine when I went earlier this week. Not nice. Oh well, not every Goodlife Fitness is amazing. This one definitely is not

    This is my home gym. The staff are always friendly and greet you with a smile and a "hi how are ya?" This place is a little dated but it's kept remarkably clean, the changerooms are spotless and well maintained. Of course you will have some people who are slobs and don't like to clean up after themselves but there is staff in there all the time cleaning up after them. The equipment is always available and ready to go. My personal trainer is awesome who celebrates my victories with me. Parking is plentiful and if you go early enough they don't check the passes but later in the mornings I would highly recommend you get a pass from the front desk. One day or day one. It's your choice. Just don't give up.

    Gym is a fantastic fitness facility! Their equipment is good, providing a wide variety of state-of-the-art machines for an effective workout. The pool is well-maintained, offering a refreshing and enjoyable swimming experience. The dry sauna is a perfect way to unwind after a workout, with its clean. Not to mention, the staff is incredibly friendly and always ready to assist, creating a welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend this Gym

    Too crowded most of the time. The sauna and the pool are almost always busy. Unlike other locations the sauna is coed, and I must say that the old lady who’s always in the pool 24/7 strongly believes she owns it and is very rude to people. Upon entering the pool she told me “you shouldn’t be here, there’s way too many people”. Only good thing about this gym is the sunshine that comes in:)))) enjoy!

    The GoodLife website says there is free parking here. Not sure if I'm just a chump, but I paid the meter anyways. I dropped by on a Friday morning around 10am. It wasn't too busy. Lockers are located downstairs. The locker and shower areas are fairly clean. From what I remember there was 3 squat racks and I didn't have to wait long to use one. The space does feel a bit cramped compared to the Vaughan location. Lots of staff working here and they seemed to take pride in ensuring equipment is wiped down and weights are put back. No lift platforms for deadlifts and power lifting. No Olympic bumper plates. With that being said, it's a decent gym and would be great if parking is 100% confirmed free.

    Nice gym. It is a big space so it has all one needs and more. Pool and sauna are a bonus :) Also not crowded so I can get my workout done quickly and efficiently on the great machinery they have available. Staff are friendly as well and it really has started to feel like home.

    5 stars for partnering me with Nagmeh as my trainer. She has made coming to the gym more meaningful and every exercise made with intention. She guides my form ensuring that every rep is super effective while monitoring my strength and capabilities. In the last several months, I feel stronger & healthier, both physically and mentally. She offers sustainable and ideal nutritional support as well.

    Very lovely gym with superb equipment and machines. Always neat and clean with most friendly attendants. However, some of your PT need people orientation and better customer service training. It’d also be great if can pay attention to customers who work out with improper gym outfits like slippers, gowns etc. Overall, great experiences personally 👏🏾

    Really clean, good space. If you like gyms where people actually workout and go after it then give this a try. But only this branch that I’ve seen so far.

    I've recently begun coming to this location. I'm mainly on the main floor (so my review is limited). There's a great layout of treadmills and machine, the only downside is there's not alot of squat racks which gets taken up during rush hour but that's understandable. Overall, nice gym! (Ladies, there's alot of cuties who work there)

    I started in November and all the staff are extremely friendly. The gym is very clean and has a lot of different equipment. I have personal training with Ardalan Ghodrati and he has been a huge help with achieving my goals. He takes training very seriously and the results show. I would definitely recommend him as a trainer.

    I am a returning costumer. I have sing up all my family, also some of my friends. One of my friend has no English. I have seen that one of the trainer is Turkish origin and we have requested him this way is easy for him to communicate. But it took 2 to 3 weeks but no reply. Finally i tell them to give us anyone, and Ardalan Ghodrati be come our trainer. We have been training with him since also i have sing up my son with him as a trainer. He is hard working and dedicated to his clients. He is AMAZING trainer. I am glad that i had him not others.

    third grade gym. Men’s changing room is the dirty. Reception desk staff are ignorant, rude and don’t know what they are doing. if you ask them a question they look at each other for answers. they are always doing their own thing at the reception area. Busy socializing with each other, especially on weekends there are staff knitting and chatting. There always no towel service available on weekdays and weekend evening. I stopped going to this gym, will not be going back.

    The sauna barely works but don’t worry! The entire gym feels like a warm and sweaty nightclub where you feel like you might faint at any point in time so who needs a sauna, screw AC right?? Mix that with the smell of random foods seeping thru the vents from the random/ sketchy restartaunts in the same building and you have a perfect combo. Oh, and the entire GTA loves to workout here at every hour of the day so have fun waiting 18 minutes to get a set in even at 11pm :)

    Good, clean facilities. I come here early weekday mornings and it's not very busy. In the afternoons it can get pretty packed. There's underground parking which makes it a great place for the winter, not having to walk through snow or change shoes. Staff turn over is as expected for the industry. Some staff are friendlier than others. I've been using this locations for almost 20 years now and don't plan to switch

    This is the dirtiest, nastiest GoodLife I have EVER been to in my life. I went to the washroom, and was blood with urine in the toilet 🚽 It was so philthy their washroom, and facility is despicable. I am beyond shocked 😮 people actually go here. Or that public health has NOT shut this location down.

    I am working out every morning over there and I should say that I tried many branches, all of them are totally good but this one is something else, especially the people who are working over there.. they are amazing people, In addition to that everything is clean and in order all the time. I really suggest you try this branch of Goodlife.

    I had a training session with Ali today and it was great. He is very encouraging and has a vast knowledge of his profession. If motivation, flexibility, and a personal approach is what you are looking for, then Ali is the man for you!

    Spacious and bright. Good variety of equipment (especially at the turf)… Not one of my favourite GoodLife locations (I go on weekends) but must single out one amazing staff member at the front desk-Zahoor. Zahoor always greets members with a smile and one gets the sense she would go over-and-above to help someone. And, no…no relation. I just think a great staff member deserves to be recognized.

    Alyse at Good Life Fitness is a customer service gem! Despite a busy day, she greeted me with a smile, made sure I felt welcome, and offered assistance with a genuine, friendly attitude. Her outstanding service truly made my visit memorable, and I'll be recommending this gym thanks to her exceptional care. Alyse is a star! ⭐

  • 5/5 Eduardo R. 2 months ago on Google • 6 reviews New
    I've been coming to this gym for a very long time. The main reason has been because of the fellow customers and the sense of community you truly feel here. Most importantly because of staff like Nicole M and Micheal N. an example of this is when Nicole was away for a time a true void was felt by all the regular patrons and her absence truly felt. The've both throughout my time made consistent efforts to accommodate not only their clients but also regular patrons of the gym. I highly recommend it but mostly because of staff members like Micheal and Nicole.

  • 5/5 Arnon H. 7 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    This gym is fantastic! it's super clean, has top-notch equipment, and the trainers are like family. It's not just a gym; it's a supportive community that keeps me motivated. With flexible hours and great results, it's a solid five stars!

  • 5/5 Bonita B. 2 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    5 stars for my trainer, Naghmeh! I’ve been working with her for 5 months and I’m seeing the results I was aiming for. She pushes you to go beyond what you think you can do. She also provides a lot of good advice on nutrition to enhance your workouts and health overall. I would highly recommend her if you’re looking for a good trainer!

  • 5/5 Bahar M. 1 year ago on Google
    I am using this gym for about 1 year. I really love the atmosphere, all athletes are pro and no one bothers u while u are working out. Clean towels are always ready and the equipment works perfectly.

  • 5/5 Joe M. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a great facility to work out at. They have modern gym equipment, they always strive to provide a clean and comfortable environment for the members. I appreciate the Goodlife staff and effort they put in... always ready to answer questions or quick to say hello ! great hire in Linna ! Keep up the good work everybody :)

  • 5/5 NASER E. 2 years ago on Google
    This location on dufferin and finch is on of the best good life branches in Toronto because of it’s nice staff and the best manager they deserve 5 stars that I gave them

  • 5/5 Dunstan S. 2 years ago on Google
    Seriously,you guys are the only reason why I still keep my GoodLife membership. Staffs are really nice and friendly. More importantly they never harass me over the evil mask mandate. This gym should be the perfect example of how a real gym should be. Salute. Don't let me down.

  • 5/5 Olatunde O. 2 years ago on Google
    It's always a fun experience coming to this facility. The staffs are professional and hold their members with high esteem. A clean fitness facility is very important to me and this gym is top tier . My personal trainer, Ali, has being really helpful and he pushes me to become better each time i visit the gym. It's a fun experience coming here.

  • 5/5 Joelle J. 2 years ago on Google
    Great gym with friendly and responsive staff. All the equipment is cleaned and sanitized after each use. My trainer Ali is exceptionally competent, highly motivating, knowledgeable, professional and dedicated in helping his clients achieve their goals. I highly recommend !

  • 1/5 Hanna s. 11 months ago on Google
    I came back to gym after a long break, the personal trainer that they have they do do not have any commitment, so embarrassing. They just charge you and you are on your own with no commitment. They come late no show up without informing.

  • 4/5 Mehran F. 1 year ago on Google
    Does not get as busy as other locations during the peak hours and it has a convenient and large parking lot. I gave it 4 stars because this location does not have a jacuzzi and I sense the mold smell in the showers.

  • 5/5 Noel R. 2 years ago on Google
    During the 20+ years as a GoodLife member, I've visited a lot of clubs. In the past I used to go to this club a lot, especially when I lived in Toronto, but stopped due to the state of the change room, shower area and late night thefts, which I personally experienced. Now that I my work takes me to the city again, I had the chance to return to this club. What a difference! Don't know about the theft issue, but the change room and shower area are in much, much better condition. Left over weights are being put back by staff and I've noticed that sanitizing and social distancing is really promoted here. Not sure who the current manager is, but what a difference a change in leadership makes. What a wonderful surprise - thank you GoodLife!

  • 5/5 shiva r. 2 years ago on Google
    Definitely the best one. Super friendly staff and well equipped machines make it a perfect recommendation for work out.

  • 5/5 Mark G. 2 years ago on Google
    I am a regular member at this club and very dedicated to the Centre itself for the quality equipment, professional staff and the cleanliness all together is impressive. Shout out to Zachariah (Zac) for running such a great team of staff and Fitness Centre. He puts Goodlife to a great standard. Further shout out to Nicole, Nik, Ali, Zahroor, Brandon, and to the many staff not directly listed; thank you for all that you do. The membership expresses regularly how much you are appreciated. By far the best Goodlife gym around.

  • 5/5 david g. 1 year ago on Google
    Great gym and equipment. Friendly staff. Clean and very nice layout. Plus sauna and pool. Open 24 hr, which gives me the opportunity to start my workout 5:00 AM before school.

  • 1/5 Abdulaziz H. 1 year ago on Google
    Don’t sign anything before read it very carefully as they would tell different things than what written in the papers. My PT was amazing. Everything other than that was the worst experience ever. Staff and money. This place is extremely expensive and they always push you to level up to pay more money. I get it. It is business. With all means you mean nothing to them other than money.

  • 4/5 Herna M. 2 years ago on Google
    It's good gym to people who cab afford it .it's way too expensive for me but for me who has money go for it . It's an amazing gym it just doesn't git my pocket

  • 5/5 Korede O. 2 years ago on Google
    My regular go-to place for workouts. Well maintained facility and equipment and there are a lot of Gym equipments sufficient enough to accommodate active members for gym usage.

  • 5/5 Anna �. 1 year ago on Google
    I like this gym because it has a big group fitness space, and scheduled with some of the best GoodLife classes (zumba, dance, body balance, sculpt and tone, flexible strength). This location is always clean and well managed. Nicole and her team are always pleasantly great everyone in and out. This gym is always a good place to go for exercise, recharge, and relax. My only disapointment was - got a $30 parking ticket!

  • 4/5 Sheldon P. 1 year ago on Google
    Less busier than the other Goodlife’s in the area, some of the equipment are old and needs to be updated. Warehouse look and feel. Air conditioning is nice and chilly on hot summer days, music is not too loud- which is perfect since everyone has headphones these days, locker’s are spacious and has a swimming pool as well. Do miss the sauna at this location.

  • 1/5 afshin t. 1 year ago on Google
    Was The best branch before covid19 But when i bought membership this branch was 24hr while now a days until 11. If they do not want to come back 24hr should lowering the price for old members.

    Gym review: It is a great facility with top equipment and friendly staff. Personal Trainer Classes Review: A year ago I had a goal to get in shape but very limited knowledge about exercising so I decided to train with a personal. I was paired with Vladimir, he not only taught me how to train correctly but also changed my lifestyle. I learned to eat healthy, drink plenty of water, and love the idea of going to the gym regularly. I am healthier, my immune system is stronger and I feel better than ever. Now a year later I am 16 kg (35 lbs) lighter and toned-looking. I am extremely satisfied with the results and forever grateful for him as my personal. He changed my life completely.

    Compared to some other GL locations I’ve visited, this one is cleaner, bigger and has more equipment and facilities including a swimming pool and sauna. I signed up for personal training and was paired up with Naghmeh. My time with her has been incredible! She tailored a program just for me and modified it when I was recovering from a car accident. Every session with her has been challenging but enjoyable. Her personalized attention to my form and enthusiasm create a motivating atmosphere. Beyond the workouts, she also offers valuable insights into my nutrition to help me reach my fitness goals. Thanks to her, I definitely feel stronger and more confident about working out in the gym now.

    Niyousha is awesome! She’s so cheerful, positive and pushes you to become your best self. I thank God i have her as my PT and i look forward to my sessions each week (the highlight of my day). Highly recommend
