Reviews of GoodLife Fitness Calgary Northland Village (Gym)

Todd Taylor

Low lighting and good range of machines. Treadmills are often broken or not in good working order though.

Rashik Hassan

I have been going here for the past 1 yr. Friendly staffs and people. They keep the place pretty clean.

Naim Kermouni

Wonderful staff and great service. I highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to have a "GoodLife" !

Fred Benedict

This is a very good location. It's not too packed and the people here are great!

Alex B

The wonderful young lady at the front desk (Alex) provided a great customer service experience and represented the company properly.

Emily Allan

My go-to GoodLife in Calgary. Not as busy as other locations, and they have decent equipment.

Wont let deadlifts. My buddy trains there. He just said he was harassed for doing deadlifts. Thats really dumb. Doesnt management know that telling people not to deadlift heavy could inhibit the lifter and cause them injury and they sue the place. I will NEVER set foot in a place that allows other members to complain about people lifting heavy. Maybe just remove all the weights and just have cardio machines, but then thats not a real gym. I would rather die than lift in a gym like yours with that atmosphere. Zero stars.

Tetra Stahr

Not because of the location but the service. My boyfriend and I had to sign 2 bills of sale because of a price that the person advising us told us. A great place to work out!!!! And we love the orientation we got from one of the nice people. But when signing up I think it's so stupid if you make a customer pay for a problem you caused. It's just a principle of kindness

Kim Bennett

I've been going to this gym since the end of April, and the staff here are amazing! They get excited everytime you nail a new goal and everyone there knows who you are! I brought some family in one day to meet my trainer and they were impressed with how nice the staff were, they didn't feel intimidated at all. I love that even if your having an off day they rally around to help you remember your wh, and remind you how far you have come! I bit the bullet and got the training package and could not be happier I did! It's hard to feel worth that level of financial committment but 3 months into it I don't regret it. Corrine has been an amazing addition to my life and encourages me and pushes me, and most importantly, even though I usually want to hurt her for what she makes me do, she makes me laugh and keeps me going.. she has really helped me find my strength and confidence and pushes me just the right amount. She is helping me do things I've never been able to do before, and helping me live the life I always watched others live. If you want a place that is welcoming and inspiring and feels like home check out Northlands, you won't regret it!

Jonathan Dykeman

If you are looking to workout before going to work - don't go here. The 5am open time is basically a suggestion only. This morning was the pinnacle with waiting from 5 am until 6:05 am when the guy finally showed up to open. Also, as noted the showers are always broken and the steam room too.

Steve

love the experience here. should be open longer.

Likely the most mediocre of all GoodLife locations in Calgary. Hours are ‘family’ friendly. They are opened late on weeknights but expect them to be closed or closed early around any holidays and they close early on the weekends. Their lockers are small as compared to other locations. They have a couple of benches for bench press. A ladies only section with a few machines upstairs. In terms of equipment they have everything you need for cardio or weight training. They have a room for classes for those who are interested in that and a room for kids to play.

Sabrina Wachter

Dina is my favorite! She is such a joy to see everyday

CPT MEME

The staff is great always super friendly and helpful with any questions I have. The gym is a good size with a good amount of equipment the lighting is perfect for me (might be a little dark for others) the sauna and showers are nice aswell

ruby beauty

North land Village staff are absolutely amazing. When I wanted to put my account on hold, I had no problems. When I wanted to start back again, I had no holds and started right away. People don't bother you and your free to do things your own. As long as it's safe of course.

Tahir If

I think this by far is the greatest Goodlife no matter how packed it is you always get to work around . I feel they have the most equipment then any other good life in Calgary including free weights and machines. Don't get much interaction with the staff but as long as I get to work out and reach my goal I am fine with that. One good thing that its dark and you actually focus on working out which eliminates all the selfies boys. Extended hours on the weekend could help.

Ramin Radmand

Super good gym, and on top of that Jannah is very friendly and willing to help with whatever she can + gives you motivation to keep pushing!!

Parsa Honarmand

Best gym in town! I’ve been a member for a few years and love everything about this place. Jannah recently helped me with unfreezing my account and she’s super helpful around the gym!

Oscar Bahr

Good gym with great people but no olympic weightlifting platforms?

Amy Oliver

Everyone is always willing to help you. I walked in wanting to work out, and got the knowledge that I've been wanting from someone. Everyone is willing to reach out and give you a hand. The rates are good and it is a clean and pleasant gym to be at. Love the hours too! Sam and Sarah helped tons with getting me started. Thank a bunch ladies!

selmabayern 10

Untrained staff and terrible customer service.

Gary Wes

First day back, had a great workout. Staff have done an amazing job to make the gym safe. Thank you

will boese

Great gym nice workout equipment good service from staff excellent trainers all around good environment

Dan Ng

Of all the Goodlife in town, Northland’s associates are by far the friendliest of all, especially Sarah and Janice. They are always welcoming and knows that I’ll need my towel before I even asked. Weight plates are well organized and you often seen associates checking for paper dispensers and sanitizers. Too bad Northland closed on holidays.

A MF

I came in to this gym to get help with training. I've always been lost when it came to figuring out how to use the equipment. With my trainer, I lost a total of 35 lbs so far. The convenience of this location makes it really easy for me to commit and I love all the gym goers and staff!

Ana Woo

Nice gym, elegant in design, but it can get very busy and crowded by the 3 squat racks. Equipment is placed very close to each other in that area and most of the gym

Billy T.

This one star review is a reflection mainly on the app. Soooooo bad!!!!!!. Can’t even book a gym time. Secondly, this place is pretty run down. Lights flickering everywhere like I’m in a damn horror movie. It’s especially annoying while on the bench press. Flickering so much, thought I was about to have a seizure.

Beth O'Connor

Malori is awesome!!!

MZ

Been a member for over 3 years now. I have been to almost every single Goodlife Gym in Calgary. Every Goodlife you walk in, you get to see some very friendly customer service excluding this locy. As a corporate member, I have never been this much disappointed with how the staff talked down to me. I forgot to make a note of the guy at the front desk. Next time I walk in, I will make sure to edit my review and add his name here. Just as a side note, if someone is a member with you for over 3 years, offer them a little courtesy. If someone asks for a towel, you don't have to act like they have asked for your life , every corporate membership has it included. May be a little bit customer service training is needed in specific at this location:(

Paarth Kelkar

Boris was really helpful in signing me up and setting me up to succeed!

Jorge SV

This is the ideal place to work out and relax and there is a ton of thing to do. Rhe other congrats is that u have to be a member to enter and becoming a member is no cheap but its worth it

batoul al-chaer

I attended this gym to improve on my physical and mental well being. I then met with Dina and she helped me set up a membership that was most suitable for me and my needs. She is such a kind hearted individual and i look forward to working out here especially because of Dinas warm hospitality, and true concern for her clients. Thank you Dina!

Wei

always have space

Chris M

Good gym with a decent setup of equipment. Decor inside isn’t very modern but you don’t worry about that when working out. Front desk staff always seem nice and friendly too.

Catherine Siegbahn

It’s a good location though its age shows…

Phil Morin

One of the few venues in Northland Mall actually worth visiting, this is an old Gold's Gym and it seems much of the equipment has been unchanged. Compared to the other Goodlife locations I frequent, the equipment & ambiance leaves something to be desired, though the location is very convenient. Now, pre-registrstion is available to secure a workout time slot and it works pretty well.

Alia Bownes

Friendly staff been a member for years

Adil Dhanani

Quiet and clean. But it's dark in here. Will definitely come here to workout at peak times because it's still emptier than my main gym.

Sarah Lambert

Although it is a large facility with a studio and a variety of equipment in both the co-ed and women's area, the maintenance and general attention to detail and upkeep at this location is just the worst...especially for individual equipment and facilities that they offer. There are cardio machines both in the co-ed area, as well as the women's area, that are still not fixed many months later ( TV won't turn on on the same elliptical machine since April, 2015...) and consistent problems with both the female and male steam rooms working properly. My husband has stopped using the men's steamroom even when it works, because the smell is just so awful and pungent (not airing out at night). You tell the front desk and they say they will have someone look at it, yet nothing happens ( I am a regular so you can see the lack of follow up). I find the staff to be helpful only to an extent--most spend the majority of time chatting with eachother at the front desk, sitting on the counter top, chatting with other friends at the gym, and letting individuals who they 'know/are buddies' in without scanning. The seem to do their job only as far as they 'need to'. I am SO looking forward to going to a new location in the near future.

Roya Pr

Boris is very helpful in helping the members to get the right membership.

Juan Rojas

Needs more squat racks and at least one should pad for squatting...

Rae McKenzie

Worst experience ever. I was stoked to attend a class at this Goodlife because it's close to my home and because of my great experience in my "home GL location". Mistake! I'm new so already a bit nervous, don't know this location or where things (think lockers, class area, etc) are located and was treated like I was an imposition - asked too many question I guess. I attempted to attend a class but when I was given no help in where to go, how to get set up (I hadn't done a Barre class before) and could find no one to help me I ended up leaving. I said goodbye to the same gal at the front who "greeted" me, she was so completely wrapped up in what she was doing to bother to look up. I can honestly say, I won't be back to this location unless I'm really stuck.

Max Callem

I'd like to work out here if i get a student discount

Tonya Macgillivray

Love the gym and the staff have been nothing but helpful and friendly to me. My trainer Tory has the patience of a saint with me while still holding me accountable to my health goals. I have been to many gyms and had several trainers and this is the first time I've had success. Thank you so much.

elen nicoli

My first time at Goodlife Preston. I have been in Essendon and Coburg as well but need to admit Preston is exceeding the standard rating. The space is new and very well organized with professional welcoming staff member. Thanks !

Alex Xavier

Dirty, old and out dated.

Akshay Jejurkar

Most of the staff is great. Can you fix the following though: 1) an exhaust/ventilation fan for the men's washroom? The whole locker room and showers stink when someone is "getting freshen up"? 2) men's shower curtains are torn, a shower caddy in each stall? These should not collectively cost over $100 3) cold water in two stalls yesterday though folks kept tap running for over 5 mins. A plumber visit would be nice. Can the head office approve these expenses for this location? I am sure this location makes enough to spend these amounts ?

Matt Foster

Love working out at this place! A friendly, clean, and all-around great gym.

Life according to Mags #fitmagnesspro

I have been going to Northland for years now. I’m the last year I moved and now live closer to Deerfoot City location. The two don’t compare. Northland always felt like family and all of the management and staff are amazing and super friendly and really take the time to get to know you. Boris always helped out whenever he could and really went that extra mile for the clients. I think I need to make that extra drive and go back to Northland.

Mia Ostere

I love Goodlife Fitness. I hesitated going for the longest time for the fear of being judged, and I went in and everyone is truly amazing. My personal trainer, Nathan, is fantastic. He's helped me so much. I'm kind of kicking myself in the head for not getting a membership sooner. But as they say, better late than never

theneeg

Good gym but sauna doesn't work very well

Kevin Brandt

Awesome trainers, excellent managment. They all are super helpful and help you create a program to meet your goals. Nice gym to be at

Shaun Driscoll

Good weight selection. Kind of dark in the free weights. Friendly staff. Kind of small as well

Ahmad

Staff here are friendly, but you should stay away from GoodLife in general. Goodlife functions using contracts that they lock you in with, along with including hidden fees on top of the monthly payment. The equipment here is falling apart. Many grips on the weights are stripped to the metal. Better off going to a local gym or building your own home gym. Staff are the only save and grace for this place.

Travel Travel the world

I have been going to Northland GoodLife fitness for many months now & I am very pleased with the staff, especially Dina who signed me up for the club membership is an amazing lady. She is hardworking, honest & cheerful. I wish her best of luck for her future endeavours.

Peter Francis

It's busy, but never too busy. The facilities are kept clean (the showers could use some work) and the staff are usually around to help if you need it. If you have towel service, you have to ask them for a towel which is annoying. They should just give it to you when you walk in... Also this gym isn't bright and harshly lit. It's dim, but not dark. Great on the eyes. I like it a lot. This used to be a Gold's Gym and they kept all the Hammer Strength equipment, which is dope. If it was open 24/7 I'd overlook the dirty showers and give 5 stars.

erin matthews

Love this gym. Great staff, too. Nice atmosphere.

gursharan singh

Had wonderful experience. Dina is best person, she is really helpful.

Free Bird

Needs to open earlier on weekends, needs a larger dumbbell section with more dumbbell benches (only 4), needs more power racks( only 4). The circuit train section takes up as much space as the dumbbell section but I have only seen 3 people ever use it. Staff is pretty cool, its clean and well designed despite having 60% of its floor space designated for cardio equipment.

Fiifi A Markin

Nice

Victoria Lara

I had a terrible experience today. I went today for the first time, got there around 5pm, worked out until 7:30pm and when I went to the women's lockers to get my stuff which was all locked up, I realized that someone broke into my locker and stole my wallet!!!. When I went to the front desk to report the case they made fill out a paper work and just said that they were sorry, no guarantees of anything, they were blaming the type of lock I used, they could have recommended me the right type of lock to use when I signed up for my membership better!!!. I found out that 6 more people had the same terrible experience tonight. I am not going back to that place at all.

Ruth Fredrek

Daniel has been an excellent trainer. I am a runner & hiker but have never done strenght training. As well, I am over 60 yrs old and he understands the varying needs of an aging body. I hired a trainer to help prevent injury when running, but the experience has given me so much more! I feel strong, am more toned and feel more confident and empowered. I have committed to a year of personal training but will conitnue for at least 2 years. An amazing experience and I highly recommend Daniel at Northland Goodlife!

Michelle Hillman

I put my membership on hold in Nov and it was later removed without my approval or notifying me. So I was charged multiple times on my account. When I went into the branch was told I would very likely receive a refund and that was GoodLife employee's mistake for the initial error. Later I cancel my membership and explain the excess charges. I am told they are my fault and that I should have noticed sooner. So its my job to continuously check my account to make sure GoodLife actually did what they said what they were going to do? Then he believes me but there is no way to prove what my actual intentions were, even though I never once try to go to the gym when I thought it was being held. Having conflicting employees tell me two different things in regards to my hold, blaming the customer, and saying that I need to prove their mistake is really unfortunate. I am glad I cancelled my membership.

Jessica Hawley

Super nice friendly staff, but not enough open equipment. Beyond social distance spacing, like 10' between machines. And the free weight area boxes were closer than comfortable.

Perla M

Filthy, dark and dingy. Cancelling your membership after it has expired was like pulling teeth. BEWARE...THEY KEEP WITHDRAWING FUNDS FROM YOUR ACCOUNT IF YOU DON'T ACTUALLY GO IN TO CANCEL!!

Linda Adams (ikonikBeauty)

The staff at this location is incredible! Jordanne is such a passionate and caring person. If you’re looking for results and a great personal trainer, she’s definitely your girl! She has so much knowledge and is really dedicated to helping you with your personal goals. She is so understanding and considerate of your needs rather than just doing what she thinks is best. Definitely one of the best trainers I have come across. Boris was also extremely helpful in a difficult situation. His positive energy and enthusiasm was actually what got me motivated to start coming back to the gym, after about a year off (COVID). He truly goes above and beyond to make sure he is helping you meet your goals and happy with the service. I have been at this gym nearly every day since I restarted my membership and i am so grateful for the positive staff here.

Bryan MacLeod

Great staff

Strat Mc

Solid equipment, well laid out, and the staff at this location are super nice! Especially Dina, very friendly and goes above and beyond to ensure great service and accommodation.

Joel Goosen

It was good for a while and now their customer service has gone way down since I started going here 4 years ago! The facility is old and there are always roof leaks. Their pricing is way too high for what you get! GoodLife charges way to much for what you get compared to other gyms.

H Dhillon

Dina was great setting me up with my membership. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Helped me feel comfortable with my choice to go back to the gym.

Bogdan Seria

I came here with my brother and Boris helped us through the sign up process, gave us a tour and answered all of our questions, and made sure we were comfortable. Great place overall, excited to start working out here!

Michael J. Reed

Great staff, well equipped with free weights and machines. Cardio equipment is diverse and covers many different exercise requirements. Some benches are showing wear and tear with rips.

Sharon Ball

great culture and energy ♡

Brittany PW

The best Goodlife not only in Calgary but Western Canada in my opinion! Not to say the others aren't great, they are - but the staff at Northland is just beyond incredible! Amal is a complete star and always happy to help with anything account/motivation/anything related and Luis is the best trainer that has ever existed hands down. Everyone else there is always sweet and friendly as well! The atmosphere Boris and the rest of the team create and maintain is really just the best. They also have a ton of fun classes, the equipment is always clean and quick to be repaired and serviced and the price can't be beat! 10/10

Hannah King

My boyfriend and I wanted to join goodlife! So we walked in. We got the pleasure of meeting Dina! She was amazing, so funny and personable. She is also hilarious. We felt like she actually cared about us and what our goals were etc. I highly rec. asking for Dina when you go in to sign up! :)

Brad Warren

It needs a reno, but the staff more than make up for it. Best GoodLife in the city.

Hailey Tanguay

It resembles a gym from the 70s. Very plain colors regarding the walls. Nice gym over all tho

Ralph Mousseau

This is the best fitness club on earth! The staff is amazing and I've met some equally great people who are members. It deserves another star!

alt-hey

Had the pleasure of signing up with Wilmar today at the Northland location, he was very helpful and receptive. The facility looks great and the staff were all very friendly (not pushy like other gyms). Can’t wait to start!

Catherine Uy

The response from management regarding the broken stereo in the group x room is unacceptable. Members have been complaining of this for a long time. Things have gotten worse in the past 2 weeks. Classes are being held from instructors’ phones. The least they can do is to purchase a portable speaker. Members take their time to attend a class but has most have been cancelled at the last minute due to this issue. They need to replace the system now!

Ashley Jay

Boris is great, he's very friendly and energetic! A great welcome in to the fitness world!

Sara Mucciacito

I've been going to Goodlife for years and never had a problem! The trainers are always nice & I feel welcomed. But for some reason at Goodlife Northland theres one trainer who consistently HARASSES me and the people I work with. His name is Paul B. He has reposted posts we've made from instagram calling us stupid/saying we have no idea what we're doing. I find this EXTREMELY unacceptable considering we're all at the gym to improve. Goodlife's trainers should NOT be making their clients feel inadequate or uncomfortable... especially by seeking them out to attack them on their personal social media. If you're looking for a positive trainer, Paul B isn't the one for you!

mitch bronster

Crag the trainer pushes me hard!

Cole Verschuere

Good gym, hours are garbage especially on weekends

Stewart Martin

Clean gym. A lot of heavy duty plate loaded equipment (used to be a Gold's Gym I think). Many hard core enthusiasts frequent this facility.

Waqas A

I like this gym, very polite staff.

Jawsty

Overall GoodLife has great machines and equipment. Sadly some of the staff ie two in particular one male and one female are absolutely rude and disrespectful. Their attitudes is a serious turn off. Other staff are curtious and helpful while these two are completely ignorous

Karen Crapo

No motivation to work out here. The women rok out area is small and some machines were broken the few times i went (i work out at the GL close from home but since I work at university I thought this could be a great opportunity for me workout before driving back home).The group fitness classroom looks small and their schedules are not great for those working regular office hours (8 to 5) since most of the good classes start a bit earlier than that :/

Neal Sanche

Good, friendly staff, and well maintained.

Beau -

Mask policy (despite the law) is NOT enforced at all. Place is PACKED mid pandemic and staff watch all the people without masks. “Tough guy” don’t wear masks I guess?

Gary De'Ath

My "go to" location. Men's change room is a little tight, but is always clean and they have a great selection of music and good equipment

Justin Pruss

It's a good gym, can get quite busy at the 5 o'clock rush, but always friendly staff.

Matt

Best Goodlife fitness I've ever been to. In Canada. As for the woman only complaints, there are woman only facilities as well if ya don't like the one at Northland ???? No punks No hogs No bitching Straight old school workout ????

Moustafa K.

Boris is an absolute gem. Thank you for a great experience. Will be signing up with the wife next week.

Anthony Gumulzynski

Good equipment. Doesn't get super busy. Locker rooms are a little small, there is plenty of lockers just not a lot of room.

Malkom GRAVE

The vibe in this club is amazing! The staff is very friendly, the personal trainers are the best in town, I definitely recommend it!!

ryan williamson

If you like working out in the dark this is the place for you!

Cassie Potrie

A personal trainer, named Corinne, pretended to care about my progress and now when I try to talk to her she ignores my messages and calls and she wont give back a book I let her borrow. In my opinion she was very misleading, not trustworthy, and is a thief! Will never go to this gym ever again. One of the personal trainers is very manipulative and ruined my gym experience! Very unhappy and want my book back!

Maryna P

Sarah who teaches Yoga class on Thursdays and Monica who teaches BARRE are exceptional instructors!

Nicolás Vanegas

This location is by far my favorite!!!

Crystal Rhyno

Good location but dirty, dark and cramped. There was a disposable razor in the free weights area. It's pretty old but you would think cleanliness would be a priority.

anmol sehgal

Boris is a really good person! He took time and efforts to explain everything in the facility. Very easy going and super honest. Thanks Boris for such a warm welcome in the family.

Gaurav Gupta

Very helpful and professional staff.

Prit Patel

I'm a regular at Goodlife Northland and it's my favourite branch in the city. Jannah, Sarah, Maya, Finn as well as the other staff make my fitness experience enjoyable and worry-free on a daily basis. If I need something, all I have to do is ask nicely and they welcome my requests with open-arms!

Jason C

Pretty standard

Kate Thomson

Boris is the best.

Zachary George

Has huge selection of Hammer Strength equipment and 100+ lb DBS And has tanning

Alexander MacDonald

I have been working out here since 2009 when It was still Golds. The machines are awesome. A major variety of hammer strength you won't find in other gyms. However, the air quality is not the best. Not to mention it used to be an old theatre, so the lighting is terrible. Would rate it higher but the air and lighting is kind of a joke. It wasn't that bad back in the Gold's days. But it's good enough to go hammer a good work out. Its like working out in the Batcave. It's only perk over beacon Hill and deerfoot is that it has more cable machines, other than that deerfoot and become Hill have more squat racks etc.

Margot Bernardy

Love the staff here, always friendly and acknowledging everyone. The gym overall is easy to navigate and always clean.

Kyle Hoffert

Wouldn't let us try the gym to see if we'd want to sign up...

kab kbaas

Okay place to workout

Jessie Zanutig

Went tonight for "All Terrain" class -- horrible instructor!!!! She was cold and unfriendly, didn't seem interested in the class at all, had poor form bouncing all over her saddle, terrible club music and her class was completely unchoreographed. This is the worst group fitness class I have ever been to... I will stick with Les Mills as the instructors have to be much more qualified than her! Goodlife should not allow her to teach -- she is tarnishing their good image. Never ever again...

Kyle Chau

Nice and clean

Derek Maydaniuk

Met with boris for a intro tour, he was great and enthusiastic and very helpful.

Sasha Anguelkova

Love this location: it's much smaller and more intimate. The staff are all amazing and super friendly. The variety of classes great! Barre Class, Yoga are my fave.

Crystal Cheung

My go to gym! Have everything you'll need. Staff is great, they don't bother you or try to stop and sell you. Can go in, do my own thing and leave. People are friendly here and sharing machines never seem to be a problem

Tolu Oyeniyi

Great facility! And for all those teens out there, they have teen fitness which is free during the Summer.

shad T

Great gym facility and knowledgable staff, especially Dina. Dina is very Helpful and very knowledgable and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to be fit!!!

NFL 341

I found the staff and management of this establishment professional and friendly towards their customers. You don't see that often in gyms around the country or ever. The gym was properly hygienic with enough employees to make sure the workout stations were properly sanitized before being used. The customer service is well executed for new customers. Especially from an employee named Jacqueline! She was great at describing the equipment used in the gym, hours, and social activities to be done at the gym. Definitely recommend her for advice and membership applications. I love going to this gym!

Morgan Dempsey

Equipment is not well kept, cable grips are very hard to locate or "stolen"... And the locker rooms are ridiculously small. Staff have expectation for customers to accommodate them, they workout during busy time periods and expect customers to put their weights away for them while they go around give customers advice.

Farzad M

I should say generally it's a good place for working out, not so busy but Steam room most of the time doesn't work and no paper towel! It's easy to handle these but management guys don't care

Crupplin

2 days in. Already love it.

callen stevenson

I enjoy the facilities and It's not overly crowded.The staff are enthusiastic and friendly at the gym. The front desk receptionist finn is the greatest, the small conversation we have is always fun. Overall the gyms great and The staff are always willing to help. Would recommend to friends.

Sukhpal Jassar

Dina is so fun and full of energy! Thank you for helping us sign up and doing all the leg work. Sign up was hassle free and the facility itself has lots of stations and space.

Catherine. Robillard

Needs upgrading for sure but it's the people and the staff that keep me going to this gym.

Kenny Slaney

My favourite gym it's basically a bodybuilding Mecca

Abu Talib Shaikh

I went for a gym tour yesterday and I was given a super detailed tour by associate Dina. She is so welcoming and has compete knowledge of what she is doing. Also she has a great sense of humour. I can’t wait to loose some pounds at good life.

Saige Mclachlan

Always a fantastic experience here - you get greeted by name and really made to feel like a member of the GoodLife family. Sara & Jannah especially really go above and beyond for us, we love to come here it’s our favourite gym in Calgary!

Jenna Kane

The reason why I love this place is because you don’t feel like your being watched by others, each section of the gym is quite separated for the Co-ed, I also love how they have a separate women’s section. Always friendly staff!

nuk nuk

This is the branch that has the dirtiest shower area. Most of the showers at men’s are not working properly. The hot water and cold water are not combining properly. The shower stalls are not being scrubbed and they’re nasty. The corners looked moldy. The janitor is not doing a good job on maintenance, he just fill up the soap and that’s all. They should fix all the showers, renovate or something.

Scott Jacobs

They make you wear a mask working out

tausif ahmed

No Personal Trainers around , almost always no cleaning.Paper towel dispensers always empty. Steam room is not working since March 20,2014.Neither receptionist nor manager knows what is the fix or what is the ETA for steam room to be up and running.Poorly managed place. Half star only. I will not renew.

Andrew Deitsch

Boris was amazing help and I really appreciate everything he did for me! Be sure to come check it out and ask for him

Tessloach Riek

Jannah makes my time at the gym more enjoyable, she is always so helpful especially when you need a spot. Extremely friendly and She’s also hilarious. It’s always a wonderful time when she’s there!

Xuewei Meng

Great place with plenty of equipment. Staff are very friendly and nice. Especially the trainer Jordanne. She is absolutely upbeat and thoughtful. Also very knowledgable. Hurt my knee when I was running and she took time to help me sort out the cause and gave me advice on recovering. Definitely a lovely person.

Joshua Agarwal

Boris was very helpful and friendly, highly recommend this gym!

Trevor Portsmouth

I would not recommend this club.

Céleste Cousineau

(Translated) I have been once for moments. I met the handsome Boris and Stewart. Super pleasant and courteous. Good service ! (Original) J'ai été une fois pour instants . J'ai rencontré le beau boris and Stewart .super agréable et courtois. Bon service !

Katie Kraft

It's a big, clean gym and the staff are friendly. Wish more care was put into the women's area. There's some disorganization when trying to book a trainer. Either no one calls you back or they book the wrong time slot or book you with someone on holidays. They should change their scheduling system.

Stef F

This is the best gym I have ever been to, the staff are amazing and really care about the people that go there. The trainers are knowledgeable and the front desk staff make a point of making everyone feel welcome. If you are nervous about going to a big gym I would say start here for sure.

Eric Hawker

Not 24 Hours.

Wayne Kerr

It gets the job done.. but lighting in there isn’t the best. And it’s always crowded. Would much prefer going to Deerfoot or beacon as it’s a lot more bigger and not feeling like you have to share equipments during covid times

Matt Bergh

Amazing experience

Michaela Dragon

Gym is okay, old equipment and super dim for some reason. Staff are nice but definitely the oldest and smallest GoodLife

Khurrum Bajwa

Boris is awesome and didn't leave out one detail!

Stephanie Stevens

Love this location! Fantastic/friendly staff and clean facility.

Claudia Maydaniuk

Boris was energetic, encouraging, and helpful!

Patti M

Monday/Wednesday pump class is a great workout! Allison G is an awesome instructor and makes sure we are all working hard and safely reaching our full potential. ????

Patrick Leung

Great group of personal trainers, plenty of equipment for you to choose from. Plenty of parking spots since it's located in the mall. Convenient hours.

Patrick Yu

This place hasn't seen updates like many other Goodlifes. If you're deeply into the gym bro life then this is still a good place to lift. Many find this location intimidating because of the layout.

SimBo Henderson

It’s hard to work out when u have a flickering light in ur face making you have epilepsy seizures when u trying to max out a bench. Can somebody change the lights???

Malkeet Johal

Excellent gym with a good selection of free weights, cardio machines and cable machines for weights. Staff are super friendly and always want to help and the manager is super cool and friendly.

Vivian Lin

I love this location Goodlife. All the personal trainer knows regular cleints' name by heart. They are full of humor and make exercise fun. The staffs are very friendly. :)

J Baillie

I have been a member for many years and appreciate how meticulous Good life is about keeping members safe. I am extremely happy about the new rules about members requiring vaccination certificates to use the facilities!

Rish Kum

Loved the equipment in there. Lighting is bang on for showing off those shoulders and biceps. Sara was super nice when she showed me around the gym. She seems all smiles and laughs. Staff was very respectful and gym was clean. Definitely a place where I would lift daily.

Amanda Knight

The staff are all so sweet. Kendall at the front desk is beyond amazing! He is so pleasant and helpful. He is always very kind and sweet to myself and my children. Also very nice to look at, certainly helps with the ‘fitness brand’. He has gone out of his way on many occasions to help with technical issues in the group fitness room too. I hope this young man gets the recognition he deserves. He is a rare gem in the customer service industry.

Hiba Mousa

if i could give zero i would ! for months im trying to cancel a membership and they cant do it ! Every time i got a promise that a manager will call and im waiting for months!! VERY VERY bad services !!

Ashley Gusztak

Very had to cancel membership.

Nate Betzhold

My home club. I enjoy the space!

Amanda Staniszewska

Equipment needs some updating. They also need to make the workout area slightly more spacious so you're not stepping over everyone. Staff is super friendly.

Jessica Oppenhuizen

I have very mixed feelings about goodlife. I trained with Luis and he is incredible and a lovely person and now a friend. I cannot say the same for the fitness manager that has been anything but helpful. Goodlife head office, provides the worst customer service ever. They have breached our contract for personal training multiple times. As much as I have enjoyed training with Luis, the bad experience outside of his training has just been too much. A big reason I wanted to join a gym was to feel a sense of community and destress, the stress has piled on because of these issues. When my husband and I first signed on, we were told that our contract stated we could freeze our account multiple times so long as it never surpassed 6 months total. We signed up because of this since we had a lot of stuff going on including our wedding and honeymoon. Unfortunately we also got very sick on our honeymoon which made us tighten our pockets. We called goodlife to extend our freeze and they said no. After multiple attempts of trying to get this worked out, I ended up putting a stop payment to buy myself some time since the fitness manager takes weeks to reply or just doesn't show up to meetings. Now Goodlife headquarters is calling me telling that no one is going to help me and if I don't pay they are sending me to collections. It's not that I dont want to pay, I just cant pay right now, that was the whole purpose of allowing freezes. So final story is... Joined fitness to relieve stress but Goodlife has caused me stress and breached contract. I just want out, as a company, they don't care about you like the commercials say. The trainers are great especially Luis but not Goodlife.

Raymond

Great place to workout. Lots of cable towers. Yeah some of the machines are broken and the steam room. Paper dispensers are empty but I'm there to workout and sweat out on cardio machines so no big deal.

Stephanie G.

I love this gym. I prefer the slightly dimmer lights as compared to your typical blinding florescent lights. The staff here are SO friendly and welcoming, I find it is an older location but most of the equipment appears quite new and in great working order. There is alot of cardio machines and 2 rowing machines which I love. It doesn't get super busy here which I love. I can't wait to use the new sauna after work outs to help me relax and hopefully get some life back into my dry Calgary winter skin. Overall I love this location and am glad I started coming here.

Hannah Chernos

We had a wonderful experience with Dina. She was friendly, personable, and enthusiastic. We felt welcomed every time we arrived. We will be sad to see her go!

Angela Melendez

This gym has zero air ventilation, or air conditioning. This has been going on for several years, and the recurring answer is that its "being worked on". Group exercise classes (RPM, BodyPump) keep getting replaced for lower intensity classes like Zumba or Barre. There are no alternatives, and was told to go a location 15 minutes away if I wanted to attend my favorite class. I used to go to this location 3-4 times a week, now I go once a week. Is the most disappointing location in the NW, and am seriously considering cancelling my goodlife membership altogether just because of this single location.

G.B. S.

Keep the hammer strength don't turn into the rest of the goodlifes

Nick

Great service from Jannah, Sara, Boris! Love the team ,love the atmosphere

aliya taha

the staff is amazing, friendly and welcoming. Dina, the fitness advisor is extremely knowledgeable, warm and always makes everyone feel comfortable and welcome when they walk in. she is always a friendly face and never fails to make me smile. they definitely hired the right person to do this job because she is amazing.

Tim O'Malley

Cannot say enough good things about the staff here. Tod, Nate and Amber in particular. Love my gym!

Chantal Vogel

Boris was amazing. 10/10

Mike Kiss

The place is a dump compared to every other Good Life Fitness. The locker rooms are also falling apart. I can't wait for this place to get bulldozed.

Mike Borhot

Such a great place to work out and the environment/staff is amazing. Dina especially is one staff member who’s always been so helpful and I can’t thank her enough for all the hard work she does!

Cailyn M

I had the experience of dealing with Jacqueline, she was very friendly and when I purchased my membership I did not feel pressured to do so. She made sure I had all of my questions answered before hand.

Laura C

Excellent customer care, the manager (Boris I believe his name is) was very helpful and kind. Not pushy or ingenuine at all (which I feel sometimes comes across in gym employees). He just genuinely wants to improve your experience. The facility itself is excellent in terms of equipment, however they could improve the brightness of the gym. Sometimes I feel it's pretty dark, compared to somewhere like Beacon which is much brighter (improving the atmosphere). For women who receive harassment or creepy behavior from men should report it immediately to the employees. I don't feel this is understood well enough by women because that is one of the best ways behavior can change or your experience can be improved. I've experienced several harassing moments at various Goodlife gyms which I think is hard to completely avoid at any gym. Last comment for Goodlife in general - really frustrating that the only form of payment has to come directly from your chequing account. They say it's to "lower credit card costs for members" but it's really just a money grab so they can pull more money and charge a fee when I forget to transfer money over.

Justin Villeneuve

I really enjoy working out here, the staff is friendly and Craig has greatly improved by running technique for my upcoming half marathon. Training is a lot better when you have someone who knows they are doing.

Brian Manzano

Dina was very nice and friendly. Her humour is off the charts!

Jaclyn M

Love Allison’s bodypump classes!

Jeff L

Pleasant staff but iffy cleanliness (especially in evenings) and terrible maintenance. The place has noticably has gone downhill in last 6 months. Burnt out light bulbs and missing ceiling tiles everywhere. About 1/3 of cardio equipment doesn’t work properly. After 5 ellipticals I gave up on finding one with a working tv and incline adjustment. At least they have working wifi.

Ali Alotaibi

Dina at GoodLife Northland village was super nice and helpful. She spent an hour with me explaining how things go with the membership and answering my many questions.

Danielle N

I love this gym. The staff are friendly and I highly recommend getting a trainer if your like me and don’t really know what your doing or if you wanna take your training to the next level. Craig is awesome. Best money I’ve ever spent.

Liam Burke

The operating hours during weekends are too short

Cynthia Yan

2019 Dec 30 is the first time I came to here. I gave 5 stars cause the reason followed: 1. The receptionist guy who has green eyes is super nice thoughtful introducing the club facility and policy; 2. The club fulls of all sorts of facilities meeting your exercise requirement. Although some of them a little bit out off fashion, all the facilities were maintained in great status and placed neatly and tidily. 3. Some people complain the light in there, but I enjoy it pretty much, the soft dim light make me feel calm relax and more focus on my exercise. 4. The amazing design there is they have a women exclusive exercise area at the second floor. In there, I found two exercise facilities more updated than in the public area. What a female friendly place! 5. Women bath place is clean and water is adequate. Glad to explore a fantastic fitness club near my residence and definitely will be a regular.

Xeno403

The facility is great but it's hours aren't very good. If they turned this into a 24 hour location it would allow those that go to school and work a chance to go to the gym but unfortunately that's not the case so it is very difficult for me to schedule time to go here.

Andy Lim

I have been a Good Life member for about 15 years. I have visited most locations in Calgary and this location is by far my favorite. This is mainly because of the staff. With the recent world events many industries had to work harder for the same pay and often with less appreciation. The staff here are always friendly, hardworking, patient and accommodating. There is one staff member whom I would like to acknowledge by the name of Cristina whom I would always catch in the corner of my eye working non-stop, cleaning up our messes and putting away our heavy weights because others are too lazy. I am very grateful for what everyone does here to keep the place open. I've been working as a RN during the pandemic and after the 2020 lockdowns I feel very privileged to have a place that I would deem as my therapy from the pandemic. Thank you -Andrew @nursesonbikes

Tori S

This is my favorite Goodlife location in the city but there are a few things that confuse me: The free weight area is crowded with obscure machines people rarely use. All that needs to be there are racks, benches and weights. There are also waaaaaaay too many treadmills/ellipticals. It's a big gym but the space is poorly organized.

Shawn Li

Dina is awesome

Fadi Aldaheen

Amazing and knowledgeable staff! Everything is clean and organized!

Magdalena Cieslak

By far my most favorite gym. Been going here for years. From lovely greetings at the front desk, to polite and friendly staff and of course awesome members. Malcolm has been nothing but supportive and helpful whenever I had questions. Luis is an amazing trainer who really truly knows his stuff and is a world class Bobsledder. Tory has the patience of a saint and you can really tell that his clients love him. Jordanne friend and an amazing trainer and super friendly and upbeat. Craig is a great fitness manager and very attentive to people's needs. To me this is not just a gym it's my 2nd family and I truly feel at home here.

Barry Nicholls

Sure, this gym is a little old and dated....but so am I. Its exceptionally clean, equipment is well taken care of for the most part. The staff is great and always welcomes me by name. I go there every day and wouldn't change that. I have heard about people breaking into lockers a few times, so buy a decent lock just in case.

Amir Tabibi

I Personally never write reviews, but I don't really recommend this club, 99% of the other clubs are way better. I realize there is a mask mandate and they are level yellow or whatever. I have nothing against wearing a mask when I have to. Today I was moving literally about 5 feet from one machine to another and nobody and I mean absolutely NOBODY was weaing a mask moving around the gym or anywhere really, well since I was moving literally 5 feet to my next machine I figured to just keep the mask off since no one was really close to me. one of the PTs told me to "put on your mask when you're moving around here" with kind of a rude attitude. I completely understand, but when there are about 20 other people without one AT ALL maybe you should tell them too hey? My entire workout I did not see him go up to anyone else. There even was another PT who was training someone who wasn't wearing a mask at all. Anyways, not a horrible experience, but I honestly recommend other goodlifes in the city over this one. I will be sticking to deerfoot from now on.

Aliya Conrad

Boris was extremely knowledgable and helpful! Gave me great advice regarding my areas of concern and was super accommodating given my restricted availability. Definitely recommend checking the gym out if you're thinking about it

Meena D

Older machines but still a good gym. Gets packed pretty quickly

Dan Reid

Poorly maintained equipment, filthy facility. PLEASE ban cellphone use!!

Riyah Karingal

Denny is very personable and listens to what his clients wants but still pushes them to be the best version of themselves.

Taylor Laurie

Boris was very helpful, polite and friendly. Great customer service

Roe Gerona

This gym is great, lots of equipment and classes to choose from, also has a women's area where you can workout with no worries. Overall this gym has good atmosphere, very friendly staff and even the people that goes to this gym are friendly. Staff are always ready to help as well which is amazing ! Great management

Stephen Bowen

Bo is the best, all the time.

D N

Best gym in town

Dean Lowe

What an amazing club. I have been a member since it opened and when Amber was appointed GM the club got even better. Amber is a seasoned professional manager and she has a positive influence on all of her staff who are friendly, caring and they go the extra mile to ensure that ALL members are treated well. Great to see happy upbeat staff. Keep up the great job all of you!

Bokani Lebogang

Northland gym!! Boris sold me on gym. I have never felt like working out as much as I did after talk to him. I’m definitely gonna go beast mode.???????? Can’t Wait for the results. Motivation ????.

xxx xxx

I am very impressed with the new manager handling issues at the gym. Very professional and very athletic. He treated his guests/members with fair and dignity! I encourage members to comment about this man who do better and best every day!

Sean Turner

Staff is amazing and its variety of equipment is best in the city, couldnt ask for a better gym!

b n

First four cardio machines I tried going on were broken. It seems to take forever to get anything fixed. But the staff are really nice!

Brenda Luk

Looks fun to work out I have never been there.

James Morgan

Great equipment and even though it’s outdated in design the people that work there are very welcoming. It’s very well managed.

Grace

Great gym, Dina the fitness advisor was an extremely kind individual who helped me set up my membership in a timely manner, because of her I look forward to coming to the gym to see her friendly face!

Omar Elmurshedy

Really good price and friendly staff/trainers especially amal

Justine Soriano

I’ve been working with Denny for quite some time now and I just have to say that he is an excellent Trainer. The knowledge and techniques that he can offer is just outstanding, I can now confidently go to the gym and say I know what I’m doing and I know how to use the equipment properly. Denny is very personable and demonstrates the potential to do more for his clients, and this differentiates him from someone that is just doing his job. Kudos to Denny and the Northland Team!

Chelsea Skogen

I’m a member at GoodLife and decided to go with my boyfriend to the yoga class here, they charged him 26.00 bucks for entry even though he was with me a member here. Yoga class was okay but 26.00 bucks for just a yoga class in a gym not even a proper yoga studio is ridiculous. Don’t waste your money just go to a proper yoga studio. Definitely discourages a person to bring a friend or significant other.

Wiley Reid

steam room is constantly broken they get it fixed for about a month and then it shuts down for another 2 months. I don't understand how they can't get it fixed the management must not care at all. the equipment in the gym its self is pretty mediocre but not terrible, hence the 2 stars instead of 1.

S Sarkar

Great gym I have ever worked out in Alberta!!!! Very clean gym-cleaned by 2 nice people every night. I consider Northland GoodLife as my second home. Staffs are very helpful, enthusiastic and off course - fit and energetic. Personal trainers are knowledgeable, motivational and very cooperative.

Alonso Palacio

If you are looking for amazing classes that help you stay in shape and tone your body, search no more. Come to this gym! My instructor, Sarah Whiffin, is a superb instructor and I highly recommend her. She definitely makes the class engaging, fun and easy to follow. Go and try one of her classes (LM Body Pump&Core or SB Barre)…You will never regret it !!!

John Thomas

Love this gym

Cameron Price

Dina was and always is fantastic to see. So welcoming - love it!

Eunice A

Dina was warm, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She takes the time to get to know you and tries to make a connection with you. Definitely would recommend Dina for advice and membership applications as she goes above and beyond to meet your needs :)

Mikasi Allen

Haven't had a bad experience here yet! Staff are laid back and generally very nice! Especially with the unnecessary mask mandate that shouldn't be in place in the first place.. being laid back is good in this sense!

Penny Willison

With covid ,restrictions and lock downs ! Not worth it at all

Sunetra Roychoudhury

Management and staff are extremely rude. If there are mask mandates you are supposed to give masks not charge 10 bucks for one. You can easily break or lose one. Its not we are against masks we even have our vaccine passport updates. Other gyms are giving out masks. Absolutely disappointing for bein lg one of the ‘top’ gyms of Canada.

don juan

It's free If you walk in through the back, (mall entrance). You can go through the front entrance after 6 pm, as they are low staff and no one checks if your slick you can just walk right it. I save over 50 bucks a month doing this, I recommend you try it it works.

Rena Munchrath

This location is by far my favourite! The staff here are so friendly and always smiling when you come in! Thank you Northland Goodlife for having such amazing staff!!!

Jennifer Fryk

This is by far my favorite good life location. They have so many options for Zumba (which I love). I haven't had an instructor that I don't like. There is one gal, Michelle, who is currently in training, when she has her own class me and my daughter will be there for sure, she is fantastic!! The yoga class we went to was one of the best I have been too. I believe the instructors name was Robert. If you can take his class I highly recommend it I only have 2 complaints. 1) the sauna takes FOREVER to heat up. I've never actually had the chance to use it when it's hot. Last time I was there someone suggested to turn it on BEFORE my workout so that it would be hot when I was done. Well it was already "preheating" when I got there and had probably shut off halfway into my workout meaning we had to start from square one again. If they could do something about their automatic shut off time that would be awesome 2) The hair dryers there suck. I tried them and they are so under powered it would have taken at least an hour to dry my hair. It's not a huge deal it's just one more thing I have to pack.

Joshua Smandych

I went in to cancel my membership and they didn't put the paperwork through so they countinued to charge me. I didn't notice for a couple of months and now they refuse to give me a refund because they lost my paper work.

Jerry Zhou

Love working out here

D S

Unlike 130th there is enough parking and equipment so you don't have to wait.

Dylan Langford

Chill place to get the gainz

Sel

Connor, Malika and the manager are all awesome!!! Great service

Sarah Whiffin

Northland Village Goodlife truly has the best vibe! Run by caring, fun management and equally amazing associates. Really has the 'family' feel when it comes to their members. The club and studio are all clean and tidy in these restricted times. 10 out of 10!

Halina Poszwa

Hello, I just like to comment on a great job of yoga instructor, her name is Renee. I attended her class at 11 am on Sept.5, 2017. She used different techniques than other instructors. The movements had the flow and were easy to follow but I noticed that I used mussels which "I didn't know I had". Thank you Renee, I appreciated your class a lot!

Natalie Blouin

My boyfriend and I love this gym. It’s got everything you need, even a women’s only section! The staff here are so friendly, especially Maya and Stu. They seem to know every regular by name. They make it seem like a little GoodLife family, such a great environment!

Shivi Logge

Good gym for working out and very nice staff. However One trainer I believe her name is Malori was not very nice to me and my friends and acted very pushy other than that, great experience

Daniel

I’ve been to most of the branches in the city and this one is by far my favourite. No matter how far away I am I will make the commute to come here. The staff here are EXTREMELY friendly and laid back which really adds to the workout experience. Maya and Jannah are very helpful and are always going around giving words of encouragement when needed. I fell in love with the atmosphere at this gym and all the factors piece together nicely to create the perfect workout environment. 10/10 would recommend and I’m sure I’ll be coming here for a long time !

Ibrahim Elma

Sara and Jannah are the best motivators! They make my time at the gym way more enjoyable! They are super funny too!

LeeJon Billard

For what the facility provides, it is an average Goodlife. In all honesty, you guys are the "Forest Lawn" Of GOODLIFEs in the city. The gym and equipment is sufficient, the facilities however, well, lets just say that its a huge pain to come to a locker room where the steam room never works, the showers are all installed incorrectly (Some temperature knobs have been reversed), the curtains are disgusting, the soap dispensers are empty, need I go on? I can't help but wonder what the girls locker room looks like if the guys is this unkempt. I've been going to the Deerfoot location more, just because its run much better. FIX YOUR FACILITIES.

Stephen Simpson

Boris is the man, make sure to ask for him!!

Joyce Adams

I recently left Vivo to try Goodlife, Samantha set me up with my membership and helped ensure I was taken care of, my membership was easy and way cheaper than any other place iv been. My favourite part is that it isn't completely open there's lots of cozy areas to get comfortable and do my own circuits without feel self conscious. Samantha especially took the time to get to know my goals and where I want to be fitness wise, overtime I come in regardless if she's busy she takes the time to greet every customer. Keep it up!

Dina Karamitsanis-Taha

What an amazing, knowledgeable fitness team! Craig the Fitness Manager corrected my squat in 10 minutes. It has made a world of difference for me! Feels so good!! A team that really cares and it shows!!!!

Allan Soffo

Best manager to talk to is Boris very great person with a lot of intelligence about working out

Kamaha Lionel

Boris delivered the best customer service I have ever witnessed. Great vibe!!
