GoodLife Fitness Calgary Deerfoot City

This one star for this location is without an understatement undeserved. Any other negative review you see about this location, believe it and save yourself your time and money. The two people Ellie and Codie were memorable in the kind of customer service way you don’t want to be remembered. They were nothing but unprofessional and for the most part condensing. First off, it’s so unprofessional how Ellie came up to Codie to say, “these are ones I was talking to you about last time. ” That is the most unprofessional way she could handle that and made it very clear she speaks on others in the setting. I came with a friend and I was considering switching over from my last gym club 16 to GoodLife but this experience from this location alone was beyond degrading. The staff member named Ellie needs a touch up on her customer service treatment, she’s beyond rude and talks about others in an unprofessional manner. How they trusted her enough to get a job at a front desk talking to anyone is beyond me. If you think you will get new members, try putting Ellie more in the back away from people. If anyone asks me for a gym, I will personally make sure to pass on the word to anyone about the impression this company has left on me. Good luck getting new members with your attitude and staff members. If I could stop one member from joining this gym, I have done my job. Forget the promises they make, they don’t live by any core values or ethics here. Also I do not think Ellie works out at all, maybe she will be a happier nicer person when she starts:)

The Hot Vin Yin Fusion Yoga practice with Karen L, and Hot Yoga Athletic practice with Kelly Sandra J.are always fun and challenging. If you’ve never experienced yoga, all of the yogi’s at Deerfoot are welcoming and accommodating to all newcomers. It really is a lovely time to try Hot Yoga.

Here is the big joke.
No manager will ever get back to you. Ever person working here acts like they are gods gift. And you are fat lazy scum. That is how the staff treats people.
Golds gym is better.

Overall great place. The machines are often time broken and are under maintenance but it happens due to wear and tear. Some people at this gym just need to talk less and work out more. Had an instance where I started working out on a machine while waiting for this one dude to wipe his equipment but he was just talking to his buddy for my 3 sets while holding the wet tower paper. Pretty sure it dried up on him for how long he was talking. Had another instance where I wanted to use a bench and the dude was talking to his buddy for 15 mins before even equipping his weight to do his first set. In another instance. Good gym terrible members

I like going workout in GoodLife fitness, because you have all the equipment that you need to build your muscles, also there stuff are so nice and helpful, including there equipment’s are all clean and in a good condition I 100% prefer and recommend you to go there and make a move on building your body

Andrea's personal training style is a good fit for me as she pushes you to your own personal limitations and stresses the importance of being accountable and transparent. She was able to quickly troubleshoot concerns in my training progression and provide me with a custom workout program to suit my needs.

Her "can do" attitude has given me the confidence at the gym and I have hit many milestones such as identifying the importance of protein intake in conjunction with my weight training sessions changing my negative mindset with food.

In the 8 weeks I have been in my weight training sessions I don't find lifting weights as intimidating and Andrea pushes me to my own limits and we are both happy with the results.

She always checks in on my off gym days to see how I'm doing and even provides great food hacks and mindset tips to help keep me motivated and on track.

I encourage you to book a consultation with Andrea she is a great choice if you want to start your fitness goal journey!

Drop in visit to this location as I was in town for a wedding. Huge facility with lots of equipment, and friendly staff. No wait times for equipment.

Equipment is great. Staff are nice and helpful. Parking can be a pain though but that's not their fault.

Large location with decent equipment. Staff are generally quite friendly. Could have a little more variety for group classes. Specifically, more zumba times with different instructors (meaning new music once in a while! Rather than the same rotation of same songs) would be a bit more exciting especially during the popular gym times (e.g. Saturday mornings).

I do appreciate the new spin class, that was a great addition. Just wished there were more times.

I have had an amazing experience. I have been a member since September and thanks to the amazing classes I am reaching my fitness goals. I won't go into all of the details, but I wanted to upgrade my membership and the manager did a great job making sure I got the best deal! Hands down best service I have had at any gym.

I've gone to this location since opening and enjoyed it. Now there are a lot for machines that are constantly down for maintenance. Or don't even have repair signage on them. Just sit there broken. Gonna try a few other locations before changing gyms but maintenance is important.

EDIT: . Since this review a lot of machines have been fixed. Very excited to see the time and attention going back into the equipment.

Great gym! Great atmosphere! Has been my go to gym since 2016! Staff has come n gone throughout the years, but one individual, that stands out is Nabeeha, always greets me with a smile everytime I walk in, and she has good taste in shoes! Honorable mentions also go out to Ees and Elle! Thanks for the great service ladies! A+

Pros:
Having been to other locations in Canada, it was nice to see that the staff at this location were just as friendly and helpful when I had a question or needed equipment from behind the desk.

Cons:
Unfortunately, the space itself makes it difficult to get a workout done. For the location and sheer number of clients, they are in serious need of an expansion. The free weights section is always packed even when I go during a non-peak time. The cable machines are always in use as well. If you go for cardio or classes, this won't be an issue. There have been several times when I've needed to adjust my workouts because people are using several machines by keeping their towels or bags on/near them. Many of the men that use them simply don't clean the equipment afterwards or leave their paper towels on the floor.

The staff and cleaning staff, however, are great and do their best to pick up litter and swap bottles before they get empty.

I know this isn't location-specific, but $25 for a drop-in fee is ridiculously high. If you are a full paying member, it would be great to have a free drop-in on your account per month so you can bring a friend to try it out. For the price, I'm embarrassed to introduce any of my friends to this gym.

NEEDS TO UPDATE HOURS FOR HOLIDAYS AND SUCH. The worst for this. I saw a bunch of people go there and have to turn back today (Sunday before family day).

The Goodlife App makes it easy to schedule group fitness classes in advance. Shout outs to Shannon’s Tuesday/Thursday spin classes at noon, Tiffany’s Monday Bodypump (weights) class at noon, Mia’s Tuesday/Friday 9: 30am Bodypump classes. Also, Carmella’s Saturday morning (8: 15) spin class is wonderful. All of these spin and Bodypump instructors make exercise fun and challenging. Natalie’s Tuesday night Combat class is always, always, a good time.

If you want to see big changes, please go to Sarah’s Grit Strength and Cardio classes on Saturday mornings. She will change your life. There is also a great community in that group.

Also, I’m not sure how long it will last, but there is an incredible group of yoga practitioners, and they are all amazing. I recommend Hot Yin with Misook on Tuesdays, Hot Vin Yin Fusion at lunch on Wednesdays, so good, and Hot Yoga Athletic on Monday and Wednesday evenings with Kelly.

Oh, and Hot Barre is amazing. Too many good classes. Honestly, I’ve rarely had a bad class. The instructors that Goodlife contracts with are energetic, organized, and they communicate what is happening, so you never feel confused.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would, don’t know what’s worse the staff or the broken equipment.
Manager is a straight tool and the personal trainers don’t have no respect, if you wanna be harassed by staff and accused for something you didn’t do, then this gym is for you.
To the personal trainers there’s maybe 2/3 decent ones, but there’s a few who need to real advise there communication skills and respect peoples space. Worst location in calgary. Would recommend this gym to anyone who wants to be harassed.

Since I rejoin again at first I did not know if I needed a pass then I got working at the ace casino and had a deal so I said why not give it a try won't hurt I work out a little but hope to start my personal trainer soon the one thing that makes good life standout is the staff they want to make sure you get the best Time there they want to help you and make sure you are comfortable in the beginning I had a billing problem not only did they help me to explain to also teach and help me understand why they where there for me every step of the way they never let me go and made sure I was ok that what makes this good life stand out so if you're looking into getting a membership make sure you sit down with the friendly staff and they will help you pick the best plan for you they will also show you around give you a nice startup bag to help you get started they are one of the biggest location lots of stuff to do take it from me so what are you waiting for get on down join a happy family

I have been a member at Deerfoot city Goodlife for over four years. The staff is professional and friendly. Many of them go above and beyond to help members and clients with their fitness goals. For a 24-7 hour facility, it stays on par with cleanliness and is staffed well during peak hours. Kody is a great manager always on the floor spending face-to-face time with members and having fun with his team. Although, parking can be a challenge during peak hours. On the plus side, cobs bread is couple doors down. Have a scone after a hard workout ;)

I have been working with Andrea for personal training at the GoodLife Deerfoot City location for just over a month now. Honestly, it has been amazing. The results that I have gotten in this short amount of time are unbelievable. Not only am I looking better, but I am getting stronger and just feeling more confident. Andrea has played a pivotal role in helping me stay consistent and focused on my health journey. She has gone above what expectations I had for a trainer.
She put together a workout plan for me, including the days I don’t workout with her. She is always available to text for motivation or questions. She always checks in throughout the week and weekend to make sure I am feeling good and getting enough rest, especially after a particularly hard workout. From our first session, she has made me feel so comfortable and didn’t make me feel ashamed of how much I really needed to get in shape.
Andrea knows when to push you to get that extra rep in, but also knows when you need to stop or have a quick break. She is a great trainer, and I am looking forward to working with her in the days to come.

Friendly, and usually able to access the machines and weights I need without a wait. Wish there was more parking!

I have been working with Kyle Boudreau for several months now and I could not have asked for a better trainer.
Kyle is amazing, not just as a trainer but as an individual! Not only does he push you to be and do better, but he is very accommodating with my busy schedule and is always there every step along this journey. He cares for his clients physical and mental health which is rare to find nowadays.
I would 100% recommend Kyle to everyone and anyone.

I have had Kyle B as a personal trainer for the past several months. Every session has left me feeling more confident and stronger than I was walking in.
Kyle is knowledgeable and has a keen attention to detail, he always takes time to watch my form to ensure we limit risk of injury. He is also ready and willing to modify if needed, to make each session a success.
Kyle is both tough and will push you to your limits, but in a safe manner where you not only are getting stronger but learn proper form and posture. He is extremely encouraging and motivational.

Amazing gym and even more amazing workers! What amazes me the most is one particular person working there.

So basically I have just re joined this gym and I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the fantastic service I receive from Nabeeha at the front desk. From the moment I walk in, she greets me with a warm smile and makes me feel welcome. Not only did Nabeeha help me sign up for my membership quickly and efficiently (couple months ago), but she also took the time to answer all my questions about the gym and provided helpful advice on my fitness journey. Nabeeha is friendly and courteous, but she is also incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. One day I was feeling down because of my lack in results from going to the gym and needed someone to talk to. Nabeeha noticed and asked how I was so I vented to her and she took the time to listen to my concerns and provided thoughtful, effective solutions to my problems. What's more, she was patient and never made me feel rushed or unimportant.
Overall, I am extremely impressed with the level of customer service Nabeeha provides. She truly exceeds my expectations and I feel confident that I made the right choice in joining this gym. Thank you for your dedication and hard work, Nabeeha.
