Reviews of GoodLife Fitness Sherwood Park Mall (Gym)

Alyssa Watson

Pros: good location and hours. Spin classes on tuesdays and thursdays are great. Other than that it's your basic gym with old, irregularly maintained equipment. Perfectly fine if you use the same equipment all the time but if you want variety this is not your place. Forget about helpful staff as they're never around or chatting about their weekends and tinder dates. Doesn't matter though, as there's so much turnover there's a fresh batch every 6 weeks. So why do I come here? Because it's close to my house and it's cheap.

I am so happy to be back. It's really clean. And nice worker's

Tyler

The staff are great, super helpful and very friendly but the equipment needs to be updated.

Christie Peregrym

Best spin classes. Choreographed & a tough 45 min workout. Definitely check out the other group fitness classes too.

When I first arrived at Goodlife I was a mess I didn't know what I wanted but I knew I had to get back to the gym. I met with some of the staff and Traylee helped me make the decision to join. It was by far the best decision I have made because that day I also signed up for personal training with Rachel Niemand I went from unfit and unhappy to having way more self esteem and confidence in myself and my ability to overcome obstacles. Goodlife and Rachel have changed my life and I look forward to every workout that will bring me closer to my goals in OCR racing as well as power lifting. Thank you to Goodlife and all the employees there that make every visit worth showing up for

100$ Sign Up Fee is Terrible plus Membership. They wanted me to pay 100$ to sign up and then a monthly membership fee. Paying 100$ for someone to sign my paperwork. I told them I wasn't joining because of this and their answer was, ok. Call us if you change your mind. With soooo many Gyms in Sherwood Park including just outside of the park and Millenium Place competitive rates this place is a joke.

Peter Abou Gharib

It's not a big gym but they do keep the facilities fairly clean and most of the equipment is working always. Because of the size it's usually busier in the winter months and I try to avoid it. All other days of the year is perfect.

My wife and I got memberships here in November of '16. So far so good, the gym is new, equipment is pretty good (only a couple of pieces requiring replacement/exhaustive repair). We like it because it's close to home, and it's never ultra busy.

Meet Reality

4 Squat racks, numerous benches (at least 4+), all sorts of cable machines and free weights, been going to this location for almost a year now and i've only had to wait once or twice to use a piece of equipment and i've only seen a couple out of service in this time for repairs. Decent showers, Steam room and Sauna and not insanely busy at lunch, definitely recommend.

R Sloan

Friendly staff, never crowded, lots of group classes, and a clean facility. Rates are standard ($50+ a month) and mall entrance is constantly out of order. 4 Stars.

Bryan Robbins

Holds the higher standard for goodlife gyms. I go here whenever I am in town

Royal Pleco

Nice gym

Loukas Wiebe

Calls themselves a 24 hour gym, came here 9 pm on a Sunday to find out its actually not, closed at 8 pm on weekends. What a joke!!! There’s no reason for it to be closed. Sad

Erin Gargus

This gym is very fun and nice to come to. The staff are very nice. One of the most fun parts of this gym is the Zumba class run by Michelle. Come check it out!

I recently decided to invest in personal training sessions and I am not disappointed! My trainer is Kaitlyn M. She is wonderful, knowledgeable and fun to work out with. I was hesitant to purchase the sessions as they were expensive, and I have had poor experiences and little success with other trainers at other gyms - but so far I have been able to see results and keep motivated while working with Kaitlyn. I am happy with my decision to become a GoodLife member and work with a trainer :) The gym is clean and there is always staff readily available to assist you.

Umer Shirif

Never to busy, and chill regulars. Very friendly staff.

Susan Krug

After re-opening, I needed to get a routine back and lose my Covid weight gain ????. The morning staff are friendly, professional and helpful. Since joining and consistently working out, I have lost 30 pounds!!! ????I feel better and I’m gaining muscle tone and my confidence has improved. Thank you staff and online booking to keep me motivated and showing up. I love the Sherwood Park location. ????

Scott Cochrane

I typically hit the SouthPark GoodLife, but this one in Sherwood park is close to my office so I'll hit it during lunch sometimes. The people here are really friendly and the gym has everything you need!

R. W. V

Did the trial membership. It is an ok facility, but the bikes are old, rowing machine needs a new chain, older machines that are at the end of their life. If I had to use it I would, but Adrosssan Rec center is a better facility as is millennium

Mrs. Adams

Best gym I have been to. I enjoy the classes offered as I push myself more than in the workout area. The teachers are very educated and really care about everybody. I enjoy the hot yoga during winter months. They have sauna/steam room as well. My favourite is the massage chairs if you are sore go give yourself a little "me time" the chairs automatically set for 20 min. They have tanning here to and an awesome spin class that is actually fun. They are always asking for feed back from us so they can constantly improve which a lot of places do not do. Equipment is nice and diverse. If you are thinking of joining a gym- join Good Life....everybody, any size shape you name it....it's Good Life!

Janelle Kenny

Mixed feelings. Good hot yoga. Efficient personal training communication. Expensive. Hard to contact head office.

Jennifer Eckel

Goodlife knows why.

Samantha Romaine

Had a gym membership here. Had to pay over 300 dollars to buy out my contract. The staff are really rude and try to push personal training on you whenever they talk to you. Your better off getting a strathcona county rec pass.

Jeff LeMieux

Awesome atmosphere and staff!!!

Anna

Love how it is a private gym, equipment are up to date & the place is very clean! I love having the ladies private gym when the open area is packed

Sean Relph

Wonderful location!! I have been to many Goodlife locations across the country and this is one of the better ones. Very clean, staff are friendly, the vast majority of the machines and weights are in excellent condition and the layout is very well thought out. Well done =) On a side note, today at 3pm Sept 14, as I walked in from the mall entrance I scanned in at the turn style and got buzzed through and as I turned to walk to the change rooms a girl barks out an order at me to come scan in at the desk. Voice full of hostility and contempt. Definitely did not make me feel welcome!! Dropping to 4 star

Jordan Tougas

Meh! The gym is super nice. Not fond of the Womens only area because it’s super hard to keep both centres clean and the tanning beds don’t get the light bulbs changed if ever

Malinda Chanyi

The group classes are great. Nice, clean gym.

Tina Smith

Not as intense and packed at this location. Loved it

Geoff Chevrier

This space used to be a library. It is not well set up. It is long and oddly laid out. Group classroom is a long way from any other equipment. Equipment is similar to other locations. If you live in Sherwood Park then it will meet your needs however not a location to go out of your way to.

Christopher Fletcher

Best gym in Sherwood park!

Monica Lafleur

Very clean and the staff always say goodbye when I leave

VP kalia Kalia

I always find the gym and the change rooms really clean, and since I’ve started to take the group fitness classes

Honey Randhawa

Ain't crowded

Sylvia Moores

Our first time to this Goodlife....we loved it! Great equipment, clean and very friendly staff.

Daniel Harper

This and millwoods town center are my recommended locations for semi serious lifters. A lot of squat racks and Sherwood location has a gym made deadlift station. Great staff, with the majority working out in the gym so upkeep of equipment is moderate to high.

Mountaingrl

This gym has a lot of great work out options. The classes are great and the place is very clean. I would have gave this place a 5 star however there is this one girl at the front with brown hair that I find to be very snotty and rude. I also don't like how they have a male that enters the women's change room or how they have one come in to clean the women's section. There are quite a bit of women working there that should be taking care of those kind of things. It is called the "women's section for a reason".

Emily Woodhouse

I come here almost every day, the staff in the childcare room are amazing! I always find the gym and the change rooms really clean, and since I’ve started to take the group fitness classes I’ve always been satisfied.

K P

Haven't been back to GoodLife in a few years until now, but i have to say the whole vibe has changed for the better! staff is welcoming and very educated, they don't make you stay in a contract anymore, very clean.. all around great experience. Colton helped me sign up and even followed up with me to see how i was liking my package so far, made sure i didn't have any further questions, seems like he really cares about the customers/service. :-)

Steve Bommassar

Bright and clean. Friendly staff.

Tyler Cox

I'm from Calgary with no goodlife in my area so I don't go enough to justify a membership, but I'll happily pay the drop in fee. Best gym I've ever been to :)

Karina Deslauriers

I would make this a higher rating but I'm upset that you guys are not 24/7. The only reason I signed up for GoodLife was because the Snap fitness here was foreclosed and i used to live in Spruce Grove with the 24/7 Snap. Never had issues with an unmaned desk or facility at snap. However you guys are great with cleanliness and the facility is well laid out and a good size.

Beatriz Liliana Montes

I pay a full one year membership for Goodlife Fitness Sherwood Park Exclusive back in March 2018, during several visits to the gym I was told by the associate-receptionist that I have to submit my bank information, at the same time, I replied that I did not understand why I was required to submit this information when the main reason to pay in full was precisely to avoid any payment coming out of my bank account. The response from the associate-receptionist was that either they will take a look at the situation and have a solution for me, or either it was a requirement from the gym to have in their files. On Saturday March 9th, 2019 the associate-receptionist say loud and in front of other several other costumers, that the gym will do collections on my name as they did not have my bank information and I was short in 4 dollars in my one year full payment, I offered to pay the 4 dollars and she replied that the gym will still do collections, then I asked her to cancel my membership to what she replied that they will have the manager to talk to me after my workout. During my conversation with the Goodlife Fitness sherwood park location manager I explained what happened and I show her the payment receipts done in March 2018 for the cost of the fees plus the full year membership. She recognized that it was a mistake at the moment of the enrollment and my membership and it was showing a biweekly payment instead of a full year membership payment. I still canceled my membership. During a whole year I was told the situation will be amended and this never happened, during a whole year I had to keep and carried with me the receipts to prove that I have not done anything wrong, during one year I patiently wait for someone to take action and nothing happened, now I feel very disappointed, upset and disrespected. I cancelled today my membership with the promise that no collections will be done on my name, I personally feel responsible to communicate to other people what happened to me at the Goodlife Fitness Sherwood Park location so far the worst experience from a recognized gym.

Farah Khokhar

THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE WORLD. The people here have no idea what there doing, its better to just shut the gym down lol.

Craig Stirling

Not great value for the dollar but no other options in Sherwood Park other than Millenium now that WHC is gone. Does the job as far as a gym but lacks the appeal of some of the newer GL facilities around Edmonton. Personally dislike the location and would prefer a stand-alone facility like Ft Sask. As one of the oldest Edmonton area locations it sorely requires a major Reno. Spin bikes are junk with bent cranks and pedals, squeaks and wobbles and the room is not large enough to accommodate weekend classes. Staff is pleasant and place is clean. Management get your capital budget in place and spend some money jeesh.

Mikayla Battenfelder

Since I've started working here in 2017, I've been able to work with a wide variety of clients which has been an incredible experience. The members are very friendly. The staff is great!

Logan Fields

Evertime I've been here staff has been excellent, professional, and very helpful. Lots of machines and weights, and the gym is always clean. Would recommend anyone to Colton as he always makes sure my experience here is the best

G McMullen

This is a decent club to workout at. Rarely busy in the mornings that I go, evenings are busier but nothing like other Goodlife’s. Lots of benches, could use more squat racks. My only complaint is that the few mornings that I go to this location on my shift change, there is always a personal trainer there training his girlfriend(between clients). They occupy the squat rack for nearly an hour, taking long breaks, chatting and flirting. Not professional at all if you ask me and poor gym etiquette especially when there’s only 2 racks. A few of my buddies have pointed them out as well. Management should deal with this as it’s frustrating if you just want to some squats or rack pulls in 10 min.

Brett Gregoire

Great lower traffic location

Krystal Fluker

Friendly staff!!

Stoney Burke

Double billed on July 10 2020. No rational explanation given - no fix applied. Cancelling membership immediately.

Rahul Yadav

Decent gym right next to mall

Tracy Lance

I applied for the one year membership, and I loved it in the beginning until, after the one year mark you would assume that your membership would cancel automatically. However, they kept charging me without my knowledge for the next 10 months. I was given a number and called several times, but nobody bothered to answer, and was robbed of $600.

Haley Dunwoodie

I have been coming to Good life for 5 months now, the experience has been great. The staff are always very welcoming and friendly. When I come to this gym I feel like I am coming to see friends, which makes workout more enjoyable.

Teresa Potter

I would like to acknowledge Molokai, one of the workers there. He is a genuinely nice, person - very very helpful and always a smile on his face!!!

S Randha

Yasemeen is the best motivator I have come across at any GoodLife location. I look forward to my workouts knowing she is working because she is so encouraging and supportive, not to mention beautiful ????

Kerri Pangrass

I’ve been using the app to book gym appointments after they reopened. I cancel any appointment I can’t make it to, or want to reschedule. I’ve received cancellation confirmation emails every time, yet I got an email stating I’ve “no-showed” two bookings so now I’m banned from booking for 7 days... I contacted goodlife & even sent photo proof of my cancellation confirmation emails 4 days ago but still haven’t heard anything back, or had my ban removed. Such a joke of a “business” as I already pre-paid my month & now don’t even get to use it regularly thanks to THEIR mistake.

Elise Kaefer

I forgot my water bottle at home and asked if I could purchase a bottle of water from the front desk (water fountain closed due to covid) . The clerk told me they were for members that refer new members only. So I was about to head into an hour long class with no water. No vending machines around. Pretty unprofessional to deny the purchase of water to your patrons at a gym..

mitchell hauer

Mediocre gym, sure makes you miss the world health.

Kes Authenac

The people are great to deal with and are very helpful and the girls here are smokin

Mateo Gudelj

Amazing location, staff, and never too busy!

Doug McCarthy

The entire team here is pretty excellent and makes this place welcoming and feel like home. That being said there are two ladies that stand out above the rest and have made this place an exceptional gym for me. Emma, is a machine, she is constantly working at cleaning and placing the weights and items back where they need to be. The ones that often get so carelessly forgotten. She really goes out of her way to make this a safe environment for everyone. She was also the first person who remembered my name when I started going there, I know it sounds small but it really made this place feel welcoming especially when I was brand new. Cassandra is the other lady, who goes out of her way to make this a good experience for me and the other members, always friendly and always caring. Making sure I'm stretching and not injuring myself. I look forward to going here, and it's always that much better when these two are working! Both exceptional, the rest of the staff is great too but I can't thank these two enough! No gym I'd rather work out in. Cheers!

Rob Wyton

Busy, busy, always busy......

Shelley Bots

Love this club! Always so clean and well maintained! My favorite place to workout whenever I am in Sherwood Park for sure!!!!

Robin

They’re buying 5 star reviews. The gym is highly commercialized, constantly interrupting their already poor music choice with ads for their own gym. Some of their personal trainers need personal training. I do not recommend seeking service from this gym if you’re new.

rob c

Left my water bottle here and came back to get it they threw it out?? Who does that??

James Shipley

Not super busy, most machines have duplicates so less wait time. Big fan.

Chintan Purohit

I called them as i needed some information regarding membership... The lady told me that someone will call me back shortly... I never received a call back from them... Totally unprofessional behaviour to say...

Maxwell R

Great child minding and yoga classes. Womens only area is well equipped and always up to date

Karina DesLauriers

I made a review about a year ago. I wish this gym was 24/7 not 24/4. Often the machines are busy, or broken. The staff is really friendly and informative, and a lot of the members are really nice. But there's a lot more selection of equipment at different locations so I find myself drawn to other locations more often.

Sarah Mc

I stopped in for a day pass while visiting Edmonton. The gym was extremely clean, staff was cleaning every machine after each use. masks were worn properly by all staff and members.

Caitlyn Short

This is my Gym. I love it here! Very friendly staff, classes are great. Women’s only section is very clean! It has hot yoga and tanning. It’s great!

Sheena Walters

I love that this location as it's next to my work. The equipment is alright, although the placement of some machines has me changing up my routine.. I love that this location has a steam room as well as their sauna... but I don't like the hours of operation at all Why say you're open 24 hours when you're only open 24 during the weekdays and you're closed weekend nights. I work until 11pm every friday-sunday and I can never workout after work because this location is closed... friendly staff though!

Gabriel Martinez

Clean, great service.

Travis Smith

Outdated and lacking basic equipment (eg. No deadlift rack or assisted pull up) so super disappointing for charging the highest gym rates in Sherwood park to never upgrade or maintain their gym. trainers are expensive and unknowlegable compared to private and other gyms and the corporation is just trying to make money, no care for personal gym experience!

trev christ

nice staff looks like a clean environment and equipment looks like it is well taken care of. wish they kept to the advertising of 24 hr. fitness gym like what the sign says out side. price are high compared to competitors but you are not locked in and can leave anytime you wish. Wish they had something for the out of town worker who only intown for a week or less but general use for average joe good option wish they could negotiate options for the 1 percent who may or may be intown for a day or 2

no cake

Very busy and has a lot of equipment that a lot of places don't have

Martha Ventrose

Nice big gym to workout at great mats and nearby my other home

S. Hughes

Nice and quite from 6-7am. Dressing rooms and showers are always clean. The streching area could be bigger, it is a small 3m x 3m gym mat in the middle of the machines. The staff are always friendly, even early in the morning.

Leslie Cuthill

Clearly the staff need to be trained to all be on the same page. Called a month ago to see when my yearly membership is up with intentions to cancel. Was told the date and the girl told me I needed to come into the gym the day of to cancel. The day comes and go to front desk and they tell me she told me wrong and I still have to pay one more month. Not impressed. Bunch of kids working there.

Corinna Turner

Disappointed in the Personal Training Program. I paid for 3 sessions to have my trainer go through the equipment with me and set up a work out session that I can then do on my own.....which was agreed on. The last session, we sat down and she tried to sell me more training sessions. But when I told her that I didn't want more sessions with her, she told me it would be much harder and would take me much longer to reach my goals without a trainer. So of course she never did set up a training schedule for me or share any nutritional info with me...but I thought that is what the 3 sessions were originally for? and don't get me wrong, I get it, this is how she gets paid, but having her say I wont reach my goals? I figure I can google a work out schedule and set myself up without any help from her and keep the additional $500 per month she wanted me to spend, but her attitude was terrible. I was up front from the beginning, informing her these 3 sessions was all I wanted. I didn't get much out of my 3 sessions that I paid for, I am disappointed about that. I will however continue going to this gym as it is clean and close to home....and I will reach my goals!
