Reviews of GoodLife Fitness Winnipeg Portage and Banting (Gym)

Victoria T

Started going to this location early February 2019. I love this gym so far! Staff are super friendly and helpful. Facility is kept clean and stocked. Machines are well maintained. Also has great airflow. 5 stars all the way!

James Cuthbert

The employees were incredibly upbeat, knowledgeable and helpful when giving an orientation to the club. Kasalyn was very easy to talk to and took the time to review what the club is all about. She even sat me down with a personal trainer to provide answers to all my questions. Great staff = great club!

Justin Hellman

I just changed over from Garden City to this one. Garden City made me second guess changing gyms, it was awful, disgusting. PORTAGE IS EXCELLENT! Clean floors, changing rooms. Friendly staff, excellent facility. Free wifi, great equipment, lots of room. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Nathan Simon

One of my favourite gyms in the city! Never too busy, always something to do. A lot of treadmills, and the massage chairs are awesome after a gym session!

Very clean, can get busy but otherwise a nice gym.

Steve Little

First time inside and I was greeted right when I walked in by the very polite staff and then got the tour from Alyssa and she was amazing talked with me about my goals and everything I wanted to achieve and I am glad to say I'm now a new member thanks to her and I can't wait to get started. Highly recommended

I am very impressed with the facillities at this Goodlife location. I have been to many of the Goodlife clubs across Canada and this location stands out amongst them all. Not only is the facillity kept clean and has exceptional equipment, but the customer service is also outstanding. The staff really make an effort to make this gym feel like home. Francois, Ivan, and Fatuum were several of the staff which I always see going above and beyond and they deserve recognition for their continous effort. I would highly recommend this gym if you are thinking about becoming a Goodlife member.

Josie Friesen

One of the best locations in Winnipeg. Newer machines, good layout & a great fitness class schedule.

Brian

Jay Barge

24 hours gym that closes at 8pm on Weekends :(

John Smith

The gym is fine but the restrictions are over and they still aren't open 24hrs like they advertise.

Jaineet Kaur

Good gym with friendly staff

Marina Havard (Marishinka)

Don’t feel excited going. Wish I got energized when I entered. However that’s my fault.

Gerry Proteau

This GoodLife gym is well equipped to suit the needs of most fitness enthusiasts. The free weights area is well organized with barbell plates stacked correctly with nothing left on the floor. Everything is neat, clean and tidy. The change and shower stalls are spotless. I’ve often found though empty soap dispensers in shower stalls. This can persist over many days in the same shower stall so it appears nobody is checking soap levels.

Kelvin Lai

Got a membership from Kasalyn, she was great! Super helpful and friendly. The meeting definitely wasn’t intimidating or pushy. We had good talks and she helped me figure out what I needed and could get out of goodlife. She even recommended the personal training which was suitable for my needs and goals. I would definitely recommend kasalyn if anyone wants to get a membership!

Alix Bauer

Great staff! Great equipment! Great atmosphere!

Marvin Janzen

Best gym in the city. Spacious with excellent air circulation. Large selection of free weights and machines. Too much equipment for cardio that is rarely even 1/2 utilized.

reid kennedy

amazing facility but the staff is really pushy to sell memberships to everyone repetitively, I even received a call several times after asking for my number not to be on their caller list. Otherwise it is a nice place to workout.

Thanos L

Gym is nice, just a little overpriced and they don't allow guest like other gyms do. They are also quite pushy when registering.

Biglow Woodcraft

Good gym, good clean change rooms, no Arc trainers. That’s too bad, I quite like using the Arc trainer.

Donna S

have been a longtime member of GoodLife Fitness for many years. I have continued to be a member of this gym simply because I really like how clean the equipment and change rooms are. especially with COVID-19, I like how many cleaning stations there are. I wish there would be more classes though, especially BodyFlow. That one is my favourite. Throughout my time coming h ere, I have mostly had positive experience with the staff. It's nice that they greet you when you come in and when you leave compared to the YMCA. I also wanted to give a special thanks to my friend Kacie, who has always been pleasant and does her job with a smile! Even with a mask Lol She has helped me many times with all of my questions. It's people like Kacie who make coming to GoodLife a great place to workout. Thanks for all you guys do!!!!

Janice Christensen

Friendly staff. Clean love the virtual fitness classes.

Mitchell McCallum

Not super crowded & friendly staff

Ivan Luong

Sometime it get really busy

Darla Lynne - DerboPhoto

Friendly & knowledgeable staff. Clean building and equipment. Great classes!

John Bagnas

This GoodLife is spacious and never too busy, you can always get on a machine. Recently they've added WiFi that is fast enough for streaming video which is a nice perk.

Michael Westwell

The manager refused to reply to formal complaints regarding the safety of this veteran and the members attending the gym during a heightened pandemic alert. Moreover, when asked for her supervisor's name and contact information, she refused to comply. Why does GoodLife Fitness choose to disrespect veterans? Shame on you. Dear Owner, if you don't know that I sent three formal letters of complaint to Manager C.Foster then she may be hiding them from you. During a pandemic, why are you forcing members to enter and exit through the same door without separation and protection? Why are people transiting through the gym without wearing masks? Your gym is unsafe. Your staff refuses to enforce government policy; why? Your gym should be closed down for unsafe health violations during a pandemic.

Andriy Luts

An awesome place, big and filled with top notch equipment. Waiting for 24/5 to come back

A&D .Ayoub

Great

ROB SAYS

Ok place to train, weights left and not put back. I watched staff just look at the weights and not put them back or make an effort to clean up. Men's change room was not the cleanest. This was during my visit, don't know if it's like that all the time.

Karissa Aguilera

Great variety of machines and lots of room inside

Stephen Cross

Great place to workout.

Tao Wang

Today I called to inquire if I can keep the corporate rate I used to have as I changed my job recently. The person who answered my inquiry advised me that it’s not possible and provided the regular rate for individual membership. After I honestly told her that I’d prefer anytime fitness if that’s the case as Anytime has better rate. She just hung up on me directly without any response even though I was very polite and thanked her for the help anyway. I’ve had a good impression about GoodLife grant park one and that’s why I called back to check. But she totally ruined the brand reputation by being so unprofessional and impolite.

Heidi Lochhead

Nice place, but way too much miscommunication. Causes alot of issues.

Emma Boyd

IVAN is so kind and really takes the time to get to know the gym members and encourages them to reach their fitness goal.

Viral Machine

Staff are friendly, but that's about it. No communication on managements end, and it caused nothing but headaches for me regarding my membership. Between the lack of communication, the turn over rate in the management team, and the over crowding, I'm happy to work out else where. Facility was always clean though and locker rooms were well maintained. It's not 24 hours though, they close on weekends. Be aware if you're like me and needed the weekend availability.

Ghost

Very new gym , and clean. It was nice to drop in. I will have to recommend trying this location .

Gaurav Sood

New and excellent

Mark X

Like the place

Chris Blackham

Love this gym, extremely friendly staff, new equipment that is well maintained.

Ravi Pathirana

Nice gym

Lexi Stone

Very nice. sometimes crowded. Lots of cardio machines, never a wait for benches. Very well kept and staff are very friendly and helpful. Music volume fluctuates, sometimes is too loud other times you can't hear it. Shower pressure isn't the best and it's a struggle to keep a constant temperature, but, all in all, best gym in the city.

Alton Watts

Love my morning therapy. Early morning workouts in a not crowded gym is the best.

Jas Man

The general manager kaylee is very rude and unprofessional

Rob James

Great gym, not overly busy

Ladine Moldenhauer

I have been attending this gym since it opened. I love it!! It’s clean, well maintained and easy accessible. I am one of the early morning crew since inception. All the early morning staff from the beginning make it fill like home! The crew has done a great job in providing a safe place to work out during this difficult time. I am looking forward to when we can work out without a mask!

Richard Chabluk

Love the facilities themselves, but these covid hours are not okay. We pay the most fees in the city and have the least amount of access to gym time.

Bob

Not the place it used to be. I was a corporate member for 10 years and now that I’m retired they want to charge me a $99 new membership fee? I asked management for a one day pass so I could try working out with a mask and see what that was like but they refused that request. I wouldn’t waste my time or money on this organization. Check out the Reh-Fit centre for a much larger free weights area, plus so much more. First class organization and it’s only a few more $ a month. An absolutely wonderful place.

Coach Anderson

Friendly staff and great atmosphere.I had personal training session with Mat and he is awesome.He was friendly and took his time to explain everything to me.If you are ever looking for a trainer he is awesome.

Mohammadamin Amadeh

Great experience. I was heading from Edmonton to Ottawa. I just stopped in winnipeg to go to the Gym and get some fresh air . It was 1:00 in the morning and I had bike in the back of my vehicle and I forgot my luck which was stopped me to do my workout!!! One of the employees '' Rafeal'' in front desk offered me to bearing the bike in while I am doing my workout. Now, not only I have great experience from this location also I have great memories from winnipeg in my first time visiting here. Thank you so much Rafeal you have a Great sense of humour

Do not deal with assistant manager Jessica. She is unwilling to help and is not assistant manager material. Brad is great.

James Metcalfe

Went to this location for 1 month but was charged on the account for 6 weeks. When you try to cancel online it is not enough to cancel within 72 hours of the payment date. So you can’t get your money back. On top of that, customer service was rude and condensing about refunding that money.

gurbahkshish lail

Please open 24/7 soon

Rhoda Rachel

Love this place! It’s very clean, staff is very helpful and friendly, they have reasonable rates, sometimes have giveaways, open a lot of hours. And if you’re hungry from the workout, it’s next to superstore- you can even hear the group exercise when you’re shopping there, Lol!

Hassan Zeid

GoodLife is a great place to get your fitness goals. I signed up for a membership there last week. Great service! ???????? Kriti at the front desk answered all of my questions. Really good staff.

Mark24XX

I enjoy going to this gym. The equipment is nice staff is friendly. Only complaint I have is that the squat rack area doesn't have very good air circulation, I find it gets very hot in that area if its a hot day out. It is better in the other areas of the gym tho. This place doesn't seem to get too busy and everyone seems very respectful of the gym cleaning up the wieghts after themselves and not being loud. I also like that it is connected to superstore so you can grab some groceries after your workout.

Chad Posthumus

Great friendly staff and equipment is always open!

Been going to this location for a couple of years now... Dropped a pair of headphones on the ground within a minute of arriving and scanning my card... within another minute I realized I had dropped them before even jumping onto the machines. As I went back to the desk, I noticed a gentleman heading out in an urgent matter. I looked around for the pair but couldn't find anything. I approached the front desk and they stated nothing had been turned in, in the last few minutes. I looked around and could not find them (all within a few minute time span). I approached the desk again after my workout and again they confirmed nothing had been turned in. I left my phone number and name in case they did end up finding them. Now, onto the reason for the review. I just got off the phone a representative. After explaining the situation, I inquired whether we could look at the camera feed, as I had a sinking feeling, the gentleman who was leaving in a hurry had picked them up and left with them. I was hoping we could use 1 of the multiple cameras in the building to take a look at the feed assuming we could use the Timestamp of the person entering and leaving the building (all within an hour time??). At the point, the representative proceeded to give me multiple reasons why, "looking at the feed" may not been helpful. First it started with identifying the person as they "do not "keep records of timestamps after cards are scanned in. Then they explained the camera video was blurry and probably be hard to determine anything. Then they explained they had a lot to do and wouldn't be able to get to it asap, which is fine, but the fact it was brought up as a reason not to look at the camera...then they explained how the reporting system they have is not setup for this type of thing?!? Again, they listed several reasons why not to look at the camera...giving me the feeling they just did not want to deal with the situation, whether it was time consuming or not. If there was some sort of decent customer service, or even empathy about the situation, the "investigation" would have been started and played by ear...when in fact they gave me every reason they could not to help me... I understand it was my fault for dropping them, but I expected some sort of help or understanding, or at the very least to look in to it without giving me reason why this wouldn't work... Super disappointed Also, another thing Goodlife (or this particular location) does is turns off the TVs 15 minutes before closing...not a big deal but the few times they have done this, the representative wouldn't even acknowledge my presence, but simply turn off all the TVs (could have left mine on) but I understand they have closing duties, just a little weird to do this one duty when it would take the 30 seconds before leaving the building...but I disgress.

Been here over a year!! Love it! Friendly staff! CLEAN!!!

I love this gym so much. It's always amazingly clean, staff are everywhere but don't invade your space. If anything needed maintenance you wouldn't notice because it's taken care of so quickly. The showers are always hot and they offer towel service. The lockers are massive, I've shared one with 3 friends and we still had room (in the winter).
