GoodLife Fitness Ajax Harwood Plaza

No staff at the front which is quite concerning. I waited for 20+ mins at the front to grab a towel and still no staff. I understand this location does not get too busy, however, one staff should always be present at the front for various reasons. Also, the female change room is not very clean.

It’s a fantastic gym with lots of space and tons of equipment. I switched to this location because the sign out front says it’s open 24 hours. This only applies 3 days a week apparently. Little disappointing to find out they close at 6pm on weekends. Should take the 24 hour sign down since it applies less than 50% of the time.

I joined GL at the beginning of January 2023, after retiring from my career.

Goals were flexibility, cardio, and conditioning. I ended up doing boot camp boxing with Clark and due to the conditioning I won the slamball championship.

So far I have lost over 10 pounds, cut my insulin down in addition to lowering my average blood sugar.

Thanks to Cass, Kiki, Asheba, Mark and everyone who always provide su
ch a positive energy.

Thank you GoodLife

Great gym! Everyone here is so sweet and always ready to help out, would definitely recommend.

I love this gym. It’s easily one of my top favourite gyms in Ajax. The cleanliness of the facility is exceptional, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. It's always a pleasure to work out in such a positive and inviting environment.

This gym is the best gym I have ever went to. This gym community is so excepting every worker is awesome

Goodlife has a name and it delivers. This location especially amazing for three reasons-
1. It is located very close to my home, 5 minute drive.
2. It is a big and spacious gym. Tons of equipments and usually not busy at all!
3. The staff, they are just amazing!

I want to shout out to Katie (at front), who has always welcomed with a great smile, friendly attitude, and being on top of things! She helped with so many things related to the gym!
She is one of the best persons working there.
Thanks for your help Katie.

Thanks Goodlife for such a great experience.

Been going here for 10 years. This is my home Goodlife gym and my favourite of the Durham Region. Always friendly staff, excellent classes and great equipment.

What a great club to workout at. Very friendly and helpful staff. I renewed my membership with Asheba, who was most helpful explaining the packages that they have. I didn't feel pressured to sign up right away. Looking forward to working out here. Thanks for all your help Asheba!

Had several issues having accounts set up for my daughter and I. The issues were over a year apart, so my thought is that this is a very common occurrence (gym employee mistyped account number then the gym attempted to assess me a few because it bounced), they took money at the wrong intervals etc. The issues were resolved after several calls about each issue. Never had a problem with my other gym so not sure why Goodlife can’t get it right.

I joined in October after a long break! I am enjoying the classes. Fotini in body barre and Marta in body pump are literally the best trainers I’ve ever worked with. Even in a class of 25 or more people they make you feel like they are cheering for you. They welcome feedback, questions and comments and are very informative. Without these 2 I wouldn’t be at the gym as much as I am! Thank you Marta and Fotini and GoodLife

I live 5 mins away from the gym. People on the desk always greet with a hello or goodbye. Very friendly folks. I just wish that it’s 24hrs all week long, cause I have to drive to either Whitby or Taunton location ️

Great location! Staff is friendly. Gym and equipment are clean and functional. Great selection of classes and great hours. My go to location in Ajax.

Been a member for a few months now. Initially i was thinking of attending one of the newer GLs but this location is spacious, well laid out, clean, and the vibe is welcoming and friendly

In my opinion, they shouldnt have a 24 hours sign outside unless you know.its actually open 24 hours. This place is open 24 hours only mon to fri but closes at 6pm on weekends. To me this isnt a true 24 hours gym and as such should not be displaying or promoting itself as one.

Jess and Dru, the dynamic two (duo). They’re the only reason I come to this gym. Best GoodLife employees ever, GOATs, real MVPs! Keep up the great work you two!

Clean facility.
A big thank you to Bree who helped me when I renewed my membership. While she explained all the benefits of my membership, she was also quick to recognize that I'm the kind of member that prefers to work out by myself (e.g. No classes or personal training) so she kept the introductions short and simple. After a follow up courtesy call, where I had mentioned it would be nice to have a second box jump to be available to members outside of the private training, Bree was fast to jump on the suggestion and provided the feedback to management. Couple weeks later, the new box jump was on the floor (she even made sure to pull me aside at the gym to let me know!). I saw a few other members enjoying it today. Thanks Bree!

It’s pretty ridiculous that I pay to go to this gym but am unable to select ANY time slots because they all book within ten seconds. I understand with the pandemic that safety measures are in place, but this is just ridiculous. Try lowering the amount of times people can book per week to allow EVERYONE a chance to go. It’d make for a lot less stress and a lot more happy clients.

I prefer this gym to both of the Goodlifes in Pickering, I find the gym has a much better selection of equipment overall and is much more spacious. The staff are friendly, not intimidating and seem to be very helpful whenever needed. I would recommend giving this place a shot if you're interested in getting into shape.

Amazing staff working on Thursday lunch, thanks for the free water bottle. It made my day. Keep up the good work.

Has great equipment for a small location. Women's only section is a bit tiny, but it's acceptable.

Stinks like body odour. Could use a revamping. My biggest issue is the salesperson who said a family member can join in and get the same plan as me, with an additional one time registration fee of $40, and then went ahead and charged $100. She said things changed (new year), but if your reps make a promise, it should be honored. It was only 2 or 3 months that went by and they were overcharging for the "new year's resolutionist" crowd.

Good Gym, but.

The gym itself is good, and the location is great (that's what initially got me interested in going. Well, that and getting in better shape). The layout isn't as bad as some people make it seem. They have several rooms for classes, and the rooms can be used by you if there is no class running.

They offer you a "free fitness evaluation/hour with a Personal Trainer" to "help get you started" (more on this in a bit.) I canceled my membership initially because of an unrelated problem, and was going to sign back up. HOWEVER, the personal trainer that did my initial "free fitness evaluation/hour with a Personal Trainer" ruined the entire gym experience. Unlike other gyms, this "free fitness evaluation/hour with a Personal Trainer" is not actually set up to help you, it is used to give you a high pressure, high guilt sales pitch for hiring the trainer running the "free fitness evaluation/hour with a Personal Trainer". (To put it in perspective, I've had lower pressure salespeople when buying a car.) The PT was way too pushy day of and clearly knew it because he asked me (after trying for 20 minutes to get me to sign up for his "plan"), and I don't like to offend people, so I played it off as if it was okay, thinking that would be the end of it. I agreed he could call me in a month and see how I felt then. Of course he called me two days later saying there was a "special promotion" and I could save 5%! He actually called me twice in one day! Leaving me a voice mail during work hours, and then calling me at dinner time to "see if I had decided anything". This after I cancelled my membership, something he could have seen if he spent the 30 seconds to pull me up in the system.

Now I know some Personal Trainers are professional and great at what they do, I just feel that that was lacking here. For one, it looked like he used the same plan with everyone, didn't really sound confident in what he was saying, and full out did not listen to my goals or what I was looking for. On top of that, he was fully expecting me to be okay with paying over $8000.00 a year for a workout plan I could get online (that's where it looks like he got it from).

I'm even more annoyed at this all now because I can't go back to that gym without expecting to be harassed about signing up for plans. Which really is disappointing as the location is less than 5 minutes from where I live.

The oddest layout ever! They make so much they could renovate. It's a one longgggg area with no sections.just odd and uncomfortable. Everyone is in everyone's face!

24 hour fitness club. Really good vibes here. Prices are in my opinion expensive, however can you really put a price on longevitity and feeling great) ?

Cheaper then lifetime but always super busy and a lack of squat racks is annoying since I swear some people camp in them

Awesome gym and staff. I highly recommend Stefanie Lesperence as a Personal Trainer, her knowledge and hand on approach are fantastic!
