Reviews of GoodLife Fitness Calgary Canyon Meadows (Gym)

Eduardo Monjaras Medina

The best attention I have ever received. Really good prices, the facility is in very good conditions. More than satisfied.

J Evans

Good selection of machines but it gets very crowded after work with not enough free weights available

Ronnie Coleman

I got a few problems with this gym.. 1. The management needs to stop hiring young staff members/students who can only work certain hours during the day, they need to hire staff members who can actually work over night and keep the gym open 24hr hour Fri-Sun because i think its pretty inconvenient that the gym closes at 10pm on Fri and 8pm on the weekend..... 2. It seems to me that whenever a piece of equipment is broken it takes this Goodlife 3+ weeks and even months to replace/fix it, again.... inconvenient. 3. The water fountains by the washrooms especially the one on the right always seem to be broken and those are the main 2/3 this gym has. This Goodlife is usually pretty quick on the repair, but the very next day the fountains break down again....Pretty inconvenient especially to someone who's getting a good pump that now has to walk all the way by the treadmills to get a drink of water.. 4. 85% of the music this specific goodlife plays through the TV/speakers SUCKS! The music is very slow,not up beat and not motivational to help people get that little extra boost and energy in their workout/pump. I wouldent recommend this specific gym to anyone untill these issues mentioned above^ get fixed..

I’ve only been to a handful of gyms in my time, but I feel comfortable saying this is the best one I’ve gone to. For me a gym is a gym as long as it’s clean and has the equipment I need, both of which this one does well. What really sets this apart, at least in my experience is the staff. Right from the get go they treat you like a valued guest rather than just another number on a screen. When I joined I was free training session that can either be just something where they answer basic questions and show you around or where they can outline what personal training is like. I decided to give it a try for a few weeks and they hand selected a trainer thought would work best for me and they did so very well. They signed me up Karlo and let me tell you I accomplished and learned more in 2 months with him than I did in the years of workouts I did before the pandemic. Karlo is another example of how great the staff is here, he knows how to motivate and bring a smile to your face when you’re really feeling the burn.

John Bender

Great gym. The assistant GM Hillary helped me out with my membership plan. Her & her team did a great job! Impressed with the service & answering any questions I had.

Rob Chambers

Overall good. Some of the staff could be more engaged with people when they walk in to the gym. Good equipment and decent monthly dues.

Fabio Silva Oly

My best gym in Calgary, high ceiling and great light and amazing staff

Peter Moholi

My fav place to work out. Clean and good staff

Michael Natividad

It’s Saturday Aug 25th 7:20 and the gym is supposed to be open at 7:00 today. There’s about 20 cars in the parking lot with people waiting for the gym to open. Unacceptable. I have to be at work by 8:30.

Conrad Taupert

Excellent knowledgeable staff

Kris V

Overall a good gym. Tons of equipment, but like most places it's packed at peak times. Though I've never had to wait more than a couple of minutes for a machine or the weights I want to use. The staff do need to enforce the "no dirty shoes past the entrance" policy more often. In the winter it can get gross in the change rooms.

Irana Bez

This plase is falling appart???? roof leaks all the time Equipment is out of order often Men constantly working on site in ladies room ...? Why isn't it fixed yet Good Life ?!

Arvin P

Edit: Changed my rating from a 4 to a 5. They recently added new lifting* platforms. They're great! I encourage more people deadlifting heavy to use them. They're not noisy and obnoxious ;) *Edited

I recently returned to GoodLife after being away for a year due to covid disruption. I'm very pleased with health measures Canyon meadows GoodLife has put in place: Mandatory mask wearing (paper masks doesn't interfere with my light to intermediate level work outs at all), clean equipment before and after use, staff cleaning, only 37 ppl at a time in the massive club, booking 3 days in advance with measures to ensure ppl don't take advantage. Also restriction of light to medium intensity suits me fine as I have a year of fitness to catch up on anyway. I felt way safer working out there then other social activities like shopping at Walmart or other retail outfits. Thanks GoodLife!

John Neary

friendly staff

Chelsea C

Very inviting and clean space compared to some other GoodLife gyms. Great staff, always so friendly and willing to help.

I've been going to this location for about 1.5 years now since moving to the SW, it's pretty easy to get to and there's always ample parking. As you probably know Goodlife has a number of contract options, prices are competitive and payment options are generally what you see with other gyms. One thing I do like with Goodlife is you're not limited to just the one club, you're also free to use the other ones in the city; depending where you are on any given day this comes in handy when you want to squeeze in a workout away from your home gym. I also have a corporate membership that gives me nationwide access, this has actually been very nice for when I have done travelling within Canada, beats paying $10-15 for a drop-in! One thing I was very impressed about, was when my fiance was unable to workout due to a medical concern they were very helpful in putting her membership on hold without a ton of paperwork or red tape. I also love the hours of this club as it's 24 hours on 4 days a week which is awesome for getting in an early workout and beating the crowds! I've found the staff to be quite friendly in general at this location. I haven't used any of the personal training services so I can’t comment on that. With your membership you also get group classes, I've only done one that I quite enjoyed. I can't comment much further on these, nonetheless these are good to take advantage of as these would be costly externally as an independent class! So now for the nitty-gritty, the gym and facilities itself! This gym is very large and they have a lot of equipment which is a huge plus! However, it can also get very busy and frustrating at times to get on the machine or piece of equipment you need. My recommendation is to avoid peak hours (right after work, 4:30-7ish). This place also gets hit harder than most gyms I've been to during the "resolution rush", that's the time of year when gyms are busier than usual because of New Year's Resolutions. It was honestly a nightmare for the month and a half after New Years to be there during peak hours... But like all gyms, people eventually give up and acceptable crowd levels resume around mid February ;-). When the gym isn't busy it's actually quite nice because it's spacious, bright and there's a lot of equipment. I've been to my share of gyms and this one is definitely better equipped than most with up to date weights, machines and cardio! Sometimes the music is blaring a little too though. The biggest negatives for me would be the crowd and the cleanliness. The crowd varies a lot: lots of fit and athletic, some roid/juice heads and also a fair bit of beginners. Despite what category you're in you should never feel discouraged, because showing up is half the battle and puts you ahead of those who never try! This club also does have a very small women's only section for girls wanting more privacy, as well as a private training area upstairs if you sign-up for personal training. My issue with the crowd is that the majority have AWFUL gym etiquette! People rarely ever wipe down mats and machines after use which is gross. Far too many don't unrack their weights or fail to put them away so you're left guessing is someone is using it or simply tripping over it. As with any gym you also have people who are a hazard on their own with throwing weights and doing other things improper. The staff could also do a better job cleaning, doing maintenance and cleaning up after people (re-racking weight, returning things to where they used to be, refilling paper towel and tissue paper, etc) I used to work at a gym and it's not a glorious position, but it makes the environment so much better for the people who do follow good gym etiquette. I think signs/reminders about gym etiquette help as well rather than just putting it on the TVs. Overall, one of the better gyms I've been to. The people without gym etiquette is what ruins it from being perfect.

Bill Harmson

Canyon Meadows has gone above and beyond to keep people safe from the virus. Cleaning all the equipment after each session and asking that all patrons wear a mask upon entry. Can't wait for them to completely open.

Laura

good gym, has an okay female only space...staff is a little pushy with their sales pitches though

Jack Brodie music

It's a good gym. Can be pretty busy and hard to get machines/ equipment but the equipment, facilities and classes are all good and staff are very friendly.

Kevin Anderson

Decent fitness place with a good number of programs. It's what you'd expect if you've been in any other GoodLife Fitness locations.

Bryce Bowness

Well run facility with professional training staff and friendly front end staff. Ruben who works at the front is always very friendly and greets you like a pro. Future manager there.

Marwan Saeed

Welcoming Stuff. However, it’s always I have to pay attention to Friday, Saturday, and Sunday hours. That being said, I don’t see any difference from other 24hr GL locations.

colin Welling

its good enuf for me to go every day lol

Ana Woo

Always seems quire packed, but it's a very large fitness center with about 5 squat racks, lots of cardio, a women only section, sauna, tanning(extra cost), 3 massage chairs, and lots of free parking

Terry White

Great gym, very clean. A TRX rack would be great

Tyler Tocker

Nice gym. Prefer going to one on 130ave cause they have a pool and hot tub.

Brendan Kish

The whole upstairs is reserved for people with trainers and there is only about 10 treadmills which are always full.

Ted Natividad

Overall, I am satisfied. Just some staff at the front desk have negative energy. Don't address members well. Just a simple gesture or greeting would help but some don't care.

Recovery Motivation

Awesome place to unwind and workout. Lots of room and equipment. Decent people and staff are super friendly

Olga Vines

I have recently joined this centre and I am very pleased with my decision.Plenty of fitness classes to join and very, very welcoming and encouraging staff that makes me feel I belong here. Love it. clean and pleasant.

Pedro Haguiara Porto Alegre

Good overall facility. Good staff. Very inviting atmosphere. Except I had once incident happen to me when someone broke into my locker (busted my lock open) and went through my backpack. Fortunately nothing was stolen, however I am not comfortable using the lockers anymore. The staff gave me a new lock, but said they could not do much more than that (besides filing a "attempt theft" into the system).

John Erk

Clean and lots of cardio machines

Catherine Siegbahn

I love the staff and the layout of this club. It's also very accessible and parking is plentiful, and FREE!

Sean Lundy

Very large location. This makes it easy to use machines even during peak hours. The only downside is shorter weekend hours

Rolland Gombert

They do not give out buddie pass's and they call themselves a gym... What they do offer is high pressure sales, even for your friends whom are from out of town and not interested in getting a membership. Cost of drop in is $15 I regret leaving World Health Club

Bronson Horning

It's an awesome gym! They have all the machines anyone could ever want fantastic for bodybuilding!.super clean there's a lot of room to stretch and tons of cardio machines.

Alex Xavier

This place really could use a little updating, but not bad

Tyler Schroeder

Turn the AC on, it's cooking outside and cooking in the gym as well...

Calgary Painters

Love this gym! Clean and open. Could use a few more benches ????

Brayden S

Never had a problem here. Friendly staff and overall clean and well maintained facility. I like this location and the good life by 130th the best

Trevor Kulyk

One of my favorite Goodlife's. Large facility with machines and free weights for all styles of fitness. This location has 2 tanning beds!

Alberto Rauda

Gets a little busy; but I'm always able to finish my workouts within a reasonable time.

Nilanka

Lots of equipment, friendly staff, lots of space to workout.

ymstar1

Love it

Randy Maurer

Great place to workout

Richard

Good gym, locations everywhere. This one is nice.

Ahmad Hamed

Not happy with their staff. Made me pay $15 for a day pass without disclosing their online options. They had 3days passes for free and 14days for $14. If someone at the front told me about these options would have been convenient for me and many other people that want to try this place out. Instead when i called them, the supervisor says we are not required to tell anyone coming in for a day pass. What does that tell you? Greed had limits

Mike Wilson

Great staff, equipment, classes and child care! All of the staff a very friendly. The child care workers are amazing! The class instructors are helpful and awesome! Pump class has helped shape me in very little time.

Twyla Walker

When visiting this location I went for a tour and was asked about my fitness goals. After I specifically said I said that I didn't want to focus on losing weight, and instead wanted to build strength I was asked how much weight I wanted to lose. I chose another gym. Also it took a long time for the phone calls and emails to stop.

Jan Jik

Good

Gurpreet Singh Jhamb

Great orientation with Patrick today. Very polite and professional.

1MC

Is a good place to workout. May be need some people there helping or giving general information about the equipment. But in general is ok.

Rob Roosemalen (DemolitionRob)

Lots of equipment. Easy access. Open 24h 4 days a week.

Nilton Barros

Two months trying to cancel my membership. They want to test our patience to the last limit. They say that only one supervisor can cancel, but the problem is to find a supervisor. They ask for a thousand excuses in front of you, but when you leave, things remain the same. Ten days ago I spoke with Supervisor Viktor thinking that my problem would really be solved, but it was not. Today I spoke with Joy and I hope he has the competence to solve a simple problem of bad administration and customer service.

Matthew Page-Hanify

Typically I'm pretty happy with this location.

Neil George

Awesome atmosphere to work out in. Staff is helpful and friendly. Clients are respectful of others. Gym is well organised and clean.

Nabl

Spacious GoodLife fitness

Janine Meek

Staff are nice enough. Facilities are good. Classes well attended.

Kristina Zach

Great gym. Ok hours. I get up really early so Monday morning workouts are never possible for me because the open at 5am from the weekend.

Tyrell Scott

A big Goodlife with lots to offer...but this one can get really busy.

Dany Salesse

Worst customer service

Kylie Morin

I have been working out at this gym steadily for over few years now and I love it. They have been great with keeping up with Covid procedures. They sanitize and clean hourly and have set up more cleaning stations and sanitizing stations for member use. The staff is also amazing. I attend some of the Les mills classes regularly and I love them. Its a great way to stay accountable and get a really awesome workout in. The instructors are really personable as well. Anna and Marlene are great and make me look forward to each week of workouts.

Craig Whitrick

Got big here never thought I could!!!

Oscar Nilsson

Large and not to busy. All the necessary machines and more. Lots of spinning bikes, treadmills and a good area for doing sit ups and such.

Stephanie Recnik

I love the gym and this one has different equipment

Freddy

Although the staff are great and much of the equipment is up to date, it seems like this location’s user base is getting larger than the facility can handle. Even outside of peak times, it can be difficult to access the equipment due to crowding. There are a lot of rowdy dudes taking up space and disrespecting the facilities, so the locker room is usually pretty filthy, and I wouldn’t use the sauna here again. Having the adjacent supplement store is a boon, though, especially if you forgot something for your workout.

Kade - R.H.N

Great facility

C P

Love this gym! Clean and open. Could use a few more benches ????

MapleFreedom

Good equipment and good staff

Nabeel Mahamood

My go to GoodLife in Calgary. Great staff and such a big place that you never feel crowded.

Sahiba Speaks

This place played a great role in my healing. The management is amazing. I was treated with respect. And I am thankful for the space that contributed to my well being that made a huge difference in one visit. Good people that run this place.

Jeff Mikolajow

The staff are friendly and greet you by name. I like that ????

Brenden Moore

One of the better good life facilities I've been to. Clean and lots of space between equipment and I can (almost) always get a machine when I want one. Pretty good chance at least 1 shower won't be working though.

Evan Durnin

The personal trainers at this gym are super helpful. I work with Alex and he is very knowledgeable and helpful on all fronts. The gyms is huge and has every resource I need.

Ana Vafadar

There's two instructors I love and I attend their classes regularly just because they're the best! Aleen for CXWorx and Carol for RPM! They're not just there to show how they do a routine but to give a comprehensive explanation of every move and make everyone's personal experience unique in order to reach your goals! The childcare ladies are awesome as well, my kids love it here!

JesterJay 71

The worst customer service EVER, I was told my contract was month to month, I was very clear to the girl at the counter when I signed up. Cancelled it in August and now they are charging me $150 cancellation fee and sent my file to collection that now calls me 2 times a day, every day. I should of read the contract in full but I figured I would trust the girl at the counter would not F**K me over. But I guess it is Good Life's business model to screw people over and miss lead customers when the cant afford the memberships any more. I will never EVER recommend this place to anyone !!!! and will go out of my way to make sure people know how they will get treated at Good Life. BTW who needs a gym, Go play outside in natures gym, ITS FREE !!!!!!

Tim Friesen

Excellent facility. Top notch detail to Cleanliness and Pandemic Protocol.

Yolanda Saavedra-Campbell

Love this place

Erik Jos

Thank you so much for Excellent customer service, from Taylor S.! Your employer is lucky, to have you,in your team!!!

K Fremont

Great gym

James Zou

Was on a family plan for over a year paying $20/bi-weekly. When my cousin cancelled his plan, I was hoping I would still be on the family plan. I received an email Friday at 1am saying $40 was due from my account since I hadn't been back to this goodlife in a month. However, when I showed up I was told I needed to pay $76 ($20, + $20, + $36) which made no sense. They basically switched me into the most expensive plan without telling me and provided me no options? Absolute robbery. TLDR; $40 overdue from a month of not going to the gym assuming I was still on family plan, they decided to charge me the regular $36/bi-weekly without notifying me.

Sarah Johnson

The instructions are knowledgeable, especially Carla!

momo

not 24 hours... why????

Creative Mindz Center

Great place for a workout

Al Chan

Its nice club setup here, alot of open space, and the equipment is well maintained.

Kevin Ledding

Nice that the personal trainers have their own area to train in. Too bad they use the rest of the equipment too.

Michael Yeung

Spacious , cleanest, friendly staffs a place you want to workout everyday !

Brittany M

Best GoodLife location in my opinion from all the ones I’ve gone to. The place is very clean. Staff is very helpful and there is a lot of room to do your own thing. Not overly crowded ether. The location is just very well put together and visually appealing as well.

Sheryl Spencer

I find the staff totally kind and polite, there is a lot of equipment and classes available. I really love the sauna, and there is a lot of cardio machines you can use, for variety. I love going to this gym

Lewis Nchotindoh

Giant 'warehouse' with every possible workout equipment you could ever wish for. Good vibe and atmosphere.

David Montgomery

Back working out after post covid! I can tell this team has worked hard to make our gym experience safe, which is appreciated. Hillary even kept me up to date on the gyms status and reopening schedule, and how the new app procedure works. I know the new regulations are tough on these businesses, so thank you guys!

Bea Dekker

So getting tired of the elitest trainers. They hog up the equipment, don’t clean up after their clients, have a dedicated floor they don’t use. It’s mostly clean

Kimberly C

I like this gym alot! Ive been going to a few different gyms in the south and this one in particular is my fav. The only thing about this gym i dont really like is the amount of sad looking people that go here. Its a buzzkill sometimes when your training..

Christina D'Angela-Matte

Mark the manager was an amazing help fixing my membership and was very knowledgable!

Christine Maurette

I took a free month to figure out if I wanted to join and realized that this is the type of gym I've been looking for. They really push the personal training but I'm not into that, and I'd been cautioned by a friend that the personal training gets even pushier when you start so I stay away. The classes are AMAZING and that's what I go for. The instructors are fantastic - not bottom of the barrel like at the YMCA or city facilities where they can't pay their instructors. I hope these instructors get paid well as they are truly fantastic. One of the massage chairs has been broken at this location for a month - hopefully that gets fixed but that's minor compared to the great classes!

Mike Moulson

Great.

Jason C

It's a good life. Pretty jam packed on the reg like any goodlife

Pe M

A good place to work out.

Winner_reviews

I find the night staff here to be extremely rude and like to gossip about other members while they’re working out. I think management should take a thorough look at who they’re keeping accountable at the front desk in the evenings. I sure would not hire any of these employees.

Adam Q

I've had consistenly bad experiences with staff members at this location. They're usually rude and apathetic. If you can avoid this location, I would strongly recommend doing so.

Stian French

This gym is pretty nice.

Bader A

I dont not recommend signing up with Goodlife Fitness, the staff and management are bunch of unprofessional lil kids. When i asked them to hold/cancel my membership due to moving out from the country for work purposes they asked me to find someone when i did they made my life a living hell. I brought someone to take over my contract as they requested but failed to mention to me that "THEIR POLICY STATES THAT THE PERSON HAS TO SIGN A MINIMUM 1 YEAR" I had 11 months left on a 2 year contract. I personally was disappointed on the way they treat they're members. Funny thing i referred over 4 ppl to the gym and what do i get out of it. Nothing.. Calgary should have some sort of rules for having those business under control. Shame on you.

Julio Davila Valle

My go to place for my weekly fitness

Spencer Campbell

Not the best gym but does the job as it's on my way home.

Togue

Best time to go in is in the mornings between 7-10. Really easy to get a parking spot and the machines/weights are usually available. Staff is very friendly! I've been going here for years!

Sylvia Moores

Very friendly staff and clients. The only con was the lockers were a bit too small for a large gym bag, purse and jacket. I will visit again.

Rose Woodard

People here are always ready to help. Change room is always clean too!

Dani Bray

I love this gym because it is always clean, the staff is very friendly and they have a nice women's area. Gets crowded right after everyone gets off work but if you go on off times you are pretty much guaranteed to get the equipment you need.

Lionel Foxcroft

Pretty big place, mostly what you would expect. The one thing that I've noticed that they don't have is a punching bag.

Kyrissa Dunford

Even during busy times there are always machines available. The locker rooms are always clean and the staff are courteous. The classes are fun and challenging. I suggest it to anyone.

Kris “Kris” Woytowich

Its a fairly average gym, the staff are friendly and the place has good upkeep. It can get a bit chaotic in the mid to late evening so plan your workout times accordingly.

Scott Walsh

Its been The second time now that I go to front desk and ask if there is any tanning available and they check the book and say it’s open so I go to get my glasses and when I come back they say that a co worker is in there now. How is it that a co worker who has not booked a appointment can bump a paying customer??? The men’s changroom is disgusting with urinals always broken and full, after this experience today I will be looking for a new gym

L Johnston

Awesome gym.

Fiona Gregory

GoodLife has done a great job getting people back to the gym & dealing with COVID. They have created clean individual zones for both in class & workout areas so social distancing can be observed easily. They are cleaning each area after each workout before the next group comes in. The booking process is not difficult. Staff has been great & very helpful. Hilary K & Reuben! Kudos.

Iris MacKinnon

Prime gym with extremely friendly staff. Weekend hours could be better

Olsi Murataj

I trained with a guy named Edgar and I gotta say it was a nice experience. He took his time showed me through the exercises and was very helpful until I got everything down to the proper way. He showed a lot of dedication, as he would spend his spare time writing plans and ideas which made my life much easier because I would just follow his routine and wouldn't have to worry much about anything else. Definitely would recommend!

Tobi D.

Spacious. Has lots of equipment

Recording Studio

I like the location, but wish the staff would tidy up and not sit in the office behind the front desk talking and playing with their phones. Fill the sprayers, pick up equipment on the floor, check the soap dispensers in the showers.

Jerry Chen

Lots of people go there, big gym

Michelle Talbot

Don't love the women changing room. Machines are well maintained.

Ilia Merchine

I love this facility. Staff is friendly and helpful, always clean and equipment in working condition. The only downfall is that it is very busy during business lunch hour and sometimes you have to wait for equipment or adjust your routine.

James Carter

This gym has the worst child care I've ever had to deal with I have a three-year-old child and they can't see him to take care of one child that is too bad older ladies in this gym they can take care of kids but I don't know what happened today but I give it the worst time review in the city

Greg Knight

Lots of room and plenty of equipment to choose from

Cara Sauriol

It's got everything I need for a good workout and the staff are stellar. My big complaint is that the lockers are tiny and there are not many benches in the locker room. The cleanliness was sketchy - I think that the cleaners are either doing a better job or have been replaced. I do enjoy going to this location.

Travis Anderson

Brought my girlfriend in this new year to see if she could get a membership. She got a 3 day pass and kept asking to talk to someone and get her signed up. No one talked to her and no one has called. She used a 3 days and doesn't want to pay daily. Very poor customer service. They reached out and everything was fixed. Thanks for making things right guys!

shady elyas

I had a free 4 week pass for Good Life Fitness so I went to the Canyon Meadows branch to use it. The assistant branch manager was extremely rude and refused to let me use it. Not only that but he didn't offer any other promotions or ask me to join. He clearly indicated he did not want me there and left before I was finished discussing this with him. I have never received such terrible customer service before and would advise everyone to never join GoodLife Fitness.

Tracey Anderson

I attended Pump class this morning, instructing was Carla. This was my first time under her direction, and I'm more than impressed. She has such a relaxed way about her which makes for a better flow. She would easily explain each new set, while paying attention to the members in the room. With every muscle group, she offered an alternative to what we were presently doing, and gave the reasons why using different types of weights can be beneficial. She has a calm, encouraging, supportive way about her. I left the class feeling amazing! Im looking forward to the next time I attend Pump, I'll be experimenting with a few techniques she suggested during class. Music choices were fantastic as well ! Thank You!

Lucas Pope

lots of space, good spacing between equipment, clean and friendly staff.

Raven Lau

Great gym,good service and have lot of place to workout

christina walden

Worst experience ever! I was seriously considering making a switch to good life to workout at the same gym as my boyfriend and wanted to try a free trial. Janice decided to take my ID to get me in the computer while we started our workout but refused to give my ID back. She explained that today was a free trail regardless of what I choose. During my workout a instructor candice stopped my reps when doing crunches on the floor and had a client move right behind me. I had to move to continue my reps. Multiple stations were missing paper towel to clean equipment and equipment was placed so people could walk behind you and interrupt your reps. I had to wait 10 mins to receive my ID back from janice at the desk. Making me even more upset having my ID with held from me. I explained the bad experience to janice and told her I just wanted to leave. She was quite pushy and aggressive with stating if I didnt sit down to talk about memberships that I would be charged today. I asked her to sign me up to a 3 day trial. The next day I got a email stating I would be charged $26 for the visit. It is a sad day to have a a bad experience and then be charged for it. Do not go to this location!

Keith Spielman

Honestly, after the manager told me she thought I was weird for not signing up after I told her that I didn't want to sign up, I knew the 1 week trial was going to be more than enough of my time with Goodlife. I understand that business is business, but it isn't the customer's fault if you don't sell your product well enough. A soft sell is better than pissing off a customer and them not coming back.

Peace of Nature

I love this location. Its always super clean and the staff is very friendly . I live in mckenzie and I go out of my way to come to this location.

mark middaugh

Yes it's a gym it's OK that's about all I can say

Bryan

Lots of equipment, friendly people, only complaint is the changeroom is small. Best goodlife location in Calgary in my opinion

Max Li

My friend forgot his card and had no ID and he was let in. I forgot my card and had no ID and I was not let in. He is white I am asian btw so they might be racist.

Tyler Dowse

So many amazing people there, that goes for the members and also staff. Made so many friends and it truely helps for motivation to go to the gym! Highly recommend ????????

Dennis de Dios Family

Was just going to do a quick workout at lunch time but they do not allow kids to sit on the couch by the waiting area. Really a 9 year old boy not allowed in the waiting area away from the exercise area itself? And do you really expect a 9 yr old boy to go into your child care room? Bad experience. Their excuse is the insurance they have. Again there was even an infant in a carrier in the waiting area yes with a parnet ofcourse you cannot let the baby be alone but a child who knows how to behave well not allowed. Disappointing.

Kevin Forsythe

Good life Fitness is a great gym to workout , staff is very friendly and helpful. There are a lot of fitness classes to suite your every needs. Gym is always clean and equipment are always available.

John Idowu

Neat, good system. Adherence to social distancing as well

Bliss

Staff are doing a great job of keeping the facility clean and safe for everyone. The booking structure seems to work really well and most of the members are doing there part to keep things running smoothly. The smaller group allowances seem to facilitate the social distancing pretty well. I think there could be a couple more hand sanitizer stations added as well as a couple more towel/ spray stations for wiping down equipment. Friendly crew at the helm, always great to see Hillary smiling her "hello!" when I come in. Overall good feel, good energy, goodlife. ;) René

Patrick Leung

Very good selection of exercise equipment available. They have everything I need. Great location.

Viacheslav Serdiukov

Convenient location with plenty of parking. Pretty similar set up with the other locations. Might use a bigger building as it gets fairly crowded in the busy hours. Stuff is very friendly as usual

Michael E

Staff is friendly, but compared to the other goodlife gyms, this one sucks. Other ones in calgary have swimming pools, steam rooms, hot tubs and even registered massage therapists at one of the locations off of deerfoot Trail.

Paige Mckenzie

They don't take cash, and one of the ladies that runs the front desk is an idiot.

Barry Smith

Great facility but you'll probably end up with a parking ticket. If you park in their parking lot good luck

Jeremy Ingersoll

This gym is one of the best in the city. The staff are very friendly and helpful and they have lots to offer when it comes to equipment, classes, personal training and much more. I would highly recommend this to everyone as I know they would get a great experience. Even those with families they have a service to watch your children so you can work out! By far the number one reason I go is because of the staff and management team, very helpful and really want you to be happy!

Lolo L

So I have been called and called to go try there gym 2 times a day 10 x a week. So Idecide to go with my friends and brothers to try them out SINCE THEY KEEP TELLING ME 7 DAY FREE PASS.

WAS GONNA GIVE THE A ANOTHER SHOT AND TRY THEM BUT REALLY WHEN THEY KEEP OFFERING DEALS AND OFFERS KEEP YOUR WORD AND DONT WASTE ANY ONES TIME.

I have been a fan of Goodlife Fitness for many years, especially my home club Canyon Meadows. I especially love the group fitness classes and the friendliness of the staff and other members. Today was my first day back after many months away and I was very impressed. The gym was clean, staff were masked, the equipment was well spaced, and all distancing protocols were excellent. I loved booking my class in advance and I hope the booking process stays in place permanently! The Bodypump instructor Carla was excellent, welcoming, and kept class health and wellness a priority. It felt great to be back at a gym that I love knowing I am safe working out!

Henry Kee

Really disappointed that it is taking you almost 3 weeks to re open your facility after it was deemed safe to reopen on June 12th, 2020. Other gyms have opened way sooner than you!!! You had ample time to prepare your facility during the lockdown and yet you are unprepared. Not acceptable!!!

Jeff Doran

Best customer service ever. Ruben, the man who manages this location, is fantastic and always takes care of his guests! We love this location for the high ceilings, good equipment, and wonderful membership!

L L

Karlo is the best! If your looking for a personal trainer to push you, educate you and motivate you - he is your guy. Karlo knows his stuff and it is apparent that he is super passionate about helping people. I don't usually do reviews but felt compelled as my experience with Karlo was awesome. The rest of the staff have also been amazing in the short time I have been going to this location. Also - if your into spinning, you need to do the class with the male instructor. Not sure his name, but he was awesome as well. Great music and made the super tough ride - fun!

Damion Tesla

Love it here

Wendy Dempster

Can't say enough good things about how everyone at Canyon Meadows GoodLife is handling the reopening with Covid. Totally impressed! I wouldn't go if I wasn't - the way the classes are booked online and the timing of them - we all have an hour to do our thing which gives the crew time to clean and disinfect for the next grouping to enter. They work so hard to allow us to get our workouts in. Very grateful! I feel confident and safe, thanks to all you guys for your hard work! :-)

bonjovirocks09

Thank you for all you do to keep everyone safe and healthy. I appreciate the friendliness and how organized the use of the gym has been set. Bodypump class is great. Carla is amazing!!! Love her energy and engagement.

Sam

Good gym the staff is friendly lacks in a few pieces of equipment but most gyms will lack in one area or another with equipment. In my 20 years of training there is always a sacrifice with something, but it's a solid gym the meets most everyones needs.

Joe Strang

Great gym. Big, lots of options

Nokiah o

Good, clean gym environment. Helpful and supportive gym instructors.

Jacob Groen

Good gym. If they have any problem it is that their change room and lockers are too small.

James Langton

decent gym. locker rooms pretty small and narrow, especially for busy hours. Could get some more benchs and better free weight area. overall not bad. would go to again.

Mark S

Convenient location with plenty of parking. Pretty similar set up with the other locations but is not busy at nights.

Calgary Radio

Close to home, been using it since 2010

Melanie Belisle

Firendly service, affordable and they have all the equipment you would need.

Matthew MacDonald

Forgot my mask today unfortunately. The mask mandate started again a couple days ago. I asked for a new one so I could train and I was told that I was “already given one” and questioned about its whereabouts.. I’m not kidding. At this point, I decided I’ve been paying GoodLife $30+ bi-weekly for the last decade and if I can’t get one more 5 cent mask so I can train, you guys can cancel my membership. Well sure enough the membership is now cancelled. I waited to speak with a manager inside the front of GoodLife (without a mask) for 20 min so I could explain why my membership is now cancelled. The manager then offered to sell me one for $8.95 or I can’t train at GoodLife. If I had of received a mask when I entered the gym, I would still have a GoodLife membership, I certainly wouldn’t have forgotten my mask again, I would’ve been able to workout, there would have been zero conflict, and I wouldn’t be spending time writing a review about horrible customer service over something that had such a simple solution. This is example A for how to not run your business. Don’t waste your time or money at this location. There are plenty of other gyms in the city with much better personal, who care about your health and are much more deserving of your money.

Chanel Chalifoux

My favorite gym except it's ALWAYS busy here no matter what time you go. Only reason I rarely go here

Tim Chmelnytzki

Great Atmosphere and the Staff are Incredibly Friendly. My Favorite location to work out at.

Jon Cromwell

I go here for convenience of location to home and C-Train; that is all.

Aaron enns

Nice gym

Jesus Rocks!

Large workout area, but small change rooms.

David Scott

Not to busy, front end staff has always been friendly

S Web

Asked 3 employees and a manager when the bulbs on the tanning beds were last changed and I got the same response from all of them "Oh, a really long time ago.." On top of the beds not being up to date with their bulbs they are never properly cleaned. I clean the bed every time I go for a tan. So all in all I barely get a tan when I go and I clean the beds myself.. why am I paying for this? So glad I signed up on a 3 month contract.. not!

gustavo vasquez

Should be a 24 hrs gym. Not any other good life that close around

Katie N

After 6 or 7 years as a member, I am unable to utilize the gym due to medical reasons. My account has been on hold, but in order to cancel, they are charging me $46. I was planning on re-joining in the future, but never again.

Hillary Kubinec

Awesome club!

Wuff Wuff

Most of the staff are sassy, rude and pretty terrible at customer service. Why I still go here? Definitley not for the people that work here haha. Wish I could rate 0 stars for customer service.

rock on

Good gym, but lots of equipment always broken. It takes forever until something gets fixed. 2 out of 4 stairmasters are broken almost for a month now. 3 treadmills are broken for a week and even hand dryer and couple showers are broken for really long time.

ziyad Aboobacker

Cleanly Maintained and good service.

Travis M

Overall it's a pretty good gym. Staff is friendly and there is alot of space to find your own spot. Only real complaints would be that the building is usually way too hot but staff have said they are unable to control the thermostat locally (so strange), and about every 2 months one of the water fountains will be down for repairs, which has been on going for 5+ years and just leads to a little congestion at the other fountain. Other than that its great.

Lynn Jobe

It was great to get back to see the friendly faces at Goodlife - Canyon Meadows yesterday. It felt good to be welcomed back by Hillary and crew at the front desk. Lucas Rajcic, my personal trainer of over 3 years, designed the perfect workout to ease me back into the groove. He always knows what I need and cheers me through the sessions so I leave feeling mentally and physically charged. Happy to be heading back today for more!

Steven Ross

good gym, very busy after 5pm on weekdays

Ryan Vescarelli

Great gym. Great equipment. Great people. Great vibes haha

Evelyn Chivers

The big annoyance is the people who run ahead and throw towels or water bottles on the spin bikes to reserve their spot. The go to another class first and want to ensure they have that special bike ahead of those of us who line up. They usually show up late and leave early and this is NOT FAIR. The new members get discouraged as these hogs don't think they have to line up. The classes should be on a first come first serve basis and the doors closed until the class starts. I have mentioned this many times and the suggestions is ignored. Please take a look at this and set up something so everyone has the opportunity to use the bikes/. On a positive note, the classes are excellent.

Emma Jones

Haven't been here in years, love the renovations that have taken place. Will come back here regularly now :)

Aeden W-M

Really great place to get fit, take classes and generally have fun! Memberships are required but if you know someone who has one you can ask them to get you a 3 day free pass! They also 3 massage chairs. They also offer personal training.

Jose Orland

Challenging to get out or end your contract. “Expected gym behavior”. But a great facility & staff.

Milo StaKic

Really good gym for working out. However my only very, very, very important complaint is MAKE IT 24/7!!!!!!! It closes at 10 on Fridays, and 8 on Saturday and Sunday!!! That's insane!! I can barely fit 1 hour in at night on the weekend because of the moronic closing time. Eventually, the fact that this gym isn't 24/7 is the reason I will cancel my membership along with my buddies. However if they make it 24/7 I guarantee their popularity will go up in the surrounding communities. The need to learn to put clients before employees and realize our schedule is more important than theirs if they wanna keep their members.

jeff drapeau

My training place love the atmosphere

Alnoor Manji

Great

Amy B

I love this gym. Great staff. Helpful, easy going. Doesn’t feel scary to ask for things like an extra towel. Very clean and spacious. Good vibes crowd usually, no one has been pushy or rude. And people are good with masks. Clean locker rooms with great showers and a nice sauna. Went to one work out class- it was awesome. The group class room is huge. I used to live in downtown Toronto so maybe my standards are low but this place feels pretty high end for a goodlife!

Sheri Miller

Always get a personal hello and goodbye. Very friendly and personal staff. GoodLife should be extremely proud of their team.

Nick Horvath

I’m always here- best gym In the city for a GL. Good equipment, and good atmosphere / members.

Cullen Dancy

It's just a money grab where they don't care about you! You'd think with all the staff standing around at the front they would be able to hire more than 1 janitor (who's actually very nice). You need to sign up for a minimum 1 year and unless you sit down and sign more papers they will continue to charge you after the 12 months are up with no warning (the salesperson I talked to actually told me otherwise at the time of signing). Partly my fault for being naive but still very shady business practices. Usually no parking, very busy, and you get a very unwelcoming feeling when you're in the gym. I recommend you take a look at the Trico Center as it's leaps and bounds better than Goodlife-- higher quality equipment and you even get access to a steam room, hot tub, and pool.

Paul Brown

Today was my first visit to this particular gym, I took my 3 year old boy with me to play in the Jump program for the first time. The man on the reception waived the $5 fee for jump as I said it was my boys first time, I thought this was a good deed. I left my boy to play in the Jump area whilst I worked out, when I came to get him about an hour later he was busy playing away. On the way home I was asking him if he had a good time, he loved it and I am definitely going to be taking him back to Jump regularly. It was busy (Sunday morning) in the gym but everywhere was clean and tidy.

Terry Luften

Good location with ample parking. Clean equipment !

Joseph Sinjar

Bullshit gym, these guys dont run gyms they are scam artists. Was in a contract 250$ to cancel gym memebership. Tip1- never sign up for a gym that makes you sign contracts.

Lificy Lourance

All the staff are really awesome!

Michelle Wagner

I love the classes here. Body attack is a great full Body workout if you only have an hour. Carla Saturday morning has great energy and keeps you motivated!

Dennis Goodvin

Nice place, like the machines, friendly staff

Joshua Seens

I have been a member here for over a year and used to really love coming in; however, the quality at this gym has been declining. The gym itself is usually relatively clean and they have gotten new equipment such as power lifting stations, but simple supplies like cleaning spray and paper towels are always empty and members have no respect for the gym (not racking weights or wiping down equipment). Another negative is that it has just gotten way too crowded to enjoy a workout, it's almost unbearable. I find I am either always waiting for equipment/space or just missing parts of my workout so that I can fit my workout in. Goodlife should consider another gym in the SW because the city just keeps expanding south, the next closest alternative is 130th or McKenzie town, both of which are busy and small comparatively and a considerable drive.

Kevin Hnatiw

Large gym.friendly staff. Clean workout areas. Only downside is the small men's locker room

m f

A lot of broken items all over the place. Even towel dispensers are broken for weeks at a time. Often times you come in and there aren't staff at the front entrance, glad I have towel service I can't use.... The only thing it has going for it is that it's close to home.

Ulises David Moreno

Love it.

Andrew Johnson

Big place. Lots of machines, but really busy too.

Emilio Tumato

Really shady gym. Will over charge you whenever they can and lie to you face about it

Pari Kim

Great place for gym and exercise Also the trainer is pretty good

Tim Davis

Mask natzis!

I have been a member for several years but have decided to cancel my membership. It seems that the Canyon Meadows location has a real problem getting responsible staff to show up on time for their shift to open the facility according to their advertised hours. A couple of Sundays ago they were late in opening and have a sign posted apologizing to the members ensuring that they have taken care in ensuring this doesn't happen again. This morning they were to open at 5:00am and once again no one was there to open. There was 30 to 40 cars in the parking lot waiting for the doors to open. So many of us work out prior to going to work as this is the only time available in our day and this becomes a huge issue when we can't work out and shower before heading to the office. I was a member at World's Health before coming here and not once was there an incident where they didn't open on time. I guess it's time to check them out again.

Sara McGomery

I visited this location last week and got a pass activated that a friend of mine gave me. I was super nervous to go as I had a terrible expereince at the spa lady next door a couple of months ago but my friend dragged me in. I met with kelsey and I cannot say enough good things about my visit. She sat down and made me feel so cared for, gave me a tour around the club and offered to do my first class with me. She even gave me a gym bag (even though I didnt sign up yet) because I didnt have anything to put my stuff in. I havebeen in twice since and every time the staff at this club are suoper friendly. Will be signing up for sure next week when my pass runs out.

Lucas Power

Amazing facility with amazing employees. Whether it's the fitness manager, trainers, or the front end employees, you're sure to feel like part of the family. Oh and lots of equipment/racks

Roberto C

Awesome availability of hours to exercise and great diversity of equipment.

Lisa Ventrudo

It’s so great to be back at the gym! From customer rep extraordinaire Hillary Kubinec, to their extremely thorough cleaning regime, I feel safe and happy to be back at Canyon Meadows!

A

First day back, post pandemic measures. The friendliness, the new way of working everything was really well done to ensure a clean, safe gym. Kudos for taking the time to plan and execute fully. Goodlife clearly considered that a lot of gym users aren't wiping down fans. Just maybe order a couple more sanitizer bottles for rotation and check the tape is off all the new paper towel. Overall impressively well done.

David Shilson

I just joined GoodLife last week to take Body Attack classes with Carla L and as a beginner to body attack I just want to say how incredible they are. You get such a full body workout that hits the very muscle you have in the body. I remember Carla from another studio and can now see this is what she was meant to teach! She has so much energy she brings to class, you can’t help but feed of it. Here knowledge of how th body should move is spot on, with pointers on how to do each movement and giving us options from beginner to expert so no one will feel left. The way she interacts with members is something you don’t see much of at other gyms. She greeted everyone with a big smile and knew so many by name. You can tell she really wants to see us improve or fitness and her encouragement no matter what you can do is so welcoming. If you are looking to take group classes I without hesitation recommend you take Carla L’s class, you will not regret it.

Binh Nguuen

There is no stand up calf machine

aaron henderson

Fitness chop shop!! I had 16 sessions left with my trainer then they fired him without letting me know. I called the manager she said I had 16 sessions left and would call me back- that never happened. I call and am fit to be tied with this place so I want to cancel my membership they checked on my sessions and some how they said I no showed for them so asked to speak to the manager but guess what she was no longer there as well!!! So they ripped me off of 16 personal training sessions and charged me $99 dollars to cancel. Kelsi Forman good job at running this location!

M L

At this gym over 8 years now. Since then I don’t think any one has cleaned the showers….. Roof vents are always plugged in dust and grime. Always a heavy amount of black mildew on the tiles and shower walls. Along with the gum people leave around the soap dispensers that never seems to get clean out. Think such a big company would be able to afford some basic cleaning supplies. Lockers are busted up and most latches are held on by a under sized deck screw. Roof always leaks during the rain or melting during the winter. Few years back they move a good chunk of the main floor machines upstairs for personal training only. Really created a back log during busy hours. Your a large company. Spend some money on maintain and cleaning you facility. Gym over all is ok. Free weights are always cleaned up and maintained. Staff are always friendly.

Duane Hostland

My fav Goodlife in the city

Chad Murphy

Club is okay. Equipment is run down in comparison to other locations. Not enough flat benchpress. In particular, the treadmills are old models that shake, rattle and roll when I have used them. Treadmills are particularly important in a health club to me since I'm a runner so this is a big letdown.

Rebecca Civitarese

Nice womens only area! You can access it right from the womens changeroom. Constant group classes to join and a large workout area

Eli Wolfe

Started working out here just over a month ago; absolutely love it here. The staff are super friendly and it is motivating just to be there.

Jai MacQ

Great people

Jimmy D

they resolved my complaints so they at least deserve credit for that

Beth Moses

I’ve been going to Goodlife fitness for 7 years. I like to attend different clubs in the city but Canyon Meadows will always feel like home. Since covid, the management has done a fantastic job ensuring cleanliness, accessibility to classes and trainers, and has made it feel like home once again. They have hired dozens of cleaning staff and are always around to ensure social distancing is happening. I feel completely comfortable back in my gym! Thanks to Rob and his crew!

Vinci Wang

Goodgym, clean and friendly staff !

nyagwen chol

It's always busy but, you can still finish up your workout, everyone at this gym are more focus on the workout. So it's easy to move from equipment to equipment.
