Just had a bad experience with a trainer 1 of the 2 times I was here. I was walking up to an empty rack that was clearly empty with no water battle, phone, clothing, or any indication that it was taken. Trainer shouts from across the room running towards me with his client "DUDE.this is TAKEN, we're USING IT" which threw me off guard. I understand they are trying to super-set but the way I was approached was super unprofessional in my opinion, especially coming from a staff. I just moved to rack over rather than creating a huge fuss about it.
No other complaints, just an honest review in hopes to help promote gym positivity.
If you're looking for a top-notch gym experience, look no further than GoodLife Gym! This gym is truly exceptional, offering a wide variety of equipment, classes, and amenities to help you achieve your fitness goals. But what really sets GoodLife Gym apart is the outstanding personal training program, led by the amazing Kurtis.
Kurtis is an absolute gem of a personal trainer. He's incredibly knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition, and he has a gift for motivating and inspiring his clients. With Kurtis's help, I've been able to make incredible progress in my fitness journey. He's taught me so much about strength training, cardio, and nutrition, and he's always there to offer support and guidance when I need it.
But what really sets Kurtis apart is his kindness, empathy, and genuine care for his clients. He's always quick to celebrate our successes, and he's a great listener when we're feeling discouraged. With Kurtis's help, I feel like I have a true partner in my fitness journey, someone who's rooting for me every step of the way.
Overall, I can't recommend GoodLife Gym and Kurtis's personal training program highly enough. If you're looking for a supportive, empowering gym experience, this is the place for you. And if you have the chance to work with Kurtis, don't hesitate - he's a true superstar and a credit to the GoodLife Gym team. Five stars all around!
Love this GoodLife. It is clean, has many classes, never been a struggle to get on equipment, has a heavy bag, tanning beds, and the most friendly staff, Candice always welcomes me with a cheery disposition. You should not hesitate going to this gym.
Just did BodyPump with Annie on Friday morning 930am. So awesome! The entire experience made my day from being greeted at the door, to cleanliness of the gym, to the wonderful conversation with the GM who was hanging at the front desk being present for the members. Great place, great class, great experience!
This place is just a flat out terrific gym! I’ve been to many gyms in my life so I have the experience to compare. I’ve now been here for about 6-7 years. The staff in general are great and very friendly, and there is such a broad range of equipment on the floor (much of which is unique and not likely found elsewhere) that I can change my routine a hundred times and never have it feel repetitive. The most important thing in life is your personal health because this will allow you to be your happiest in every other domain. So, if you’ve been sitting on the fence, get off it and sign up at this gym. And when you do start, don’t stop. Make it a lifestyle choice, combined with proper eating!
By far the best gym in Barrie! The members and staff are super kind and friendly, I’m always excited to walk through their doors! Not to mention those 2 good looking gentlemen who work there with such immaculate hair, fitness never looked so good!
It's not a bad gym. 4/5. VERY busy at peak time (but that's gonna happen with the new year, new me people).
The people who go here are all very chill and respectful.
The wifi sucks. You can facebookmessages and thats it. No streaming music, etc. (But likes it's a given to NOT work at most gyms. Should be working out and not on your phone).
Has everything you need for beginners to advance gym goers.
Staff: Normally friendly (saying hello or good bye at the door).
Washrooms/locker rooms: the lockers could use a clean. There a little dirty.
Parking - ZERO parking when it's busy. (But what do you expect). They have over flow parking. But you gotta climb over a mountain of snow to get to the building cause they don't clear the side walk from parking lot to parking lot. So it sucks getting snow in your shoes and having cold/wet feet trying to go to gym. (BRING your snow boots. Lol).
One of the best locations I’ve visited with exceptional customer service towards members. Alanna Kirley helped me out right away getting me a membership along with helping me set fitness goals to be able to get in shape for an upcoming wedding. The location is incredibly clean along with updated and state of the art machines and weights that provide a lot of variety to keep my workouts fresh and fun! I’m definitely looking forward to trying out some classes here too.
I have visited other gyms and other goodlife locations but none have compared to this one. Embracive staff, very community driven, inclusive, there is always an event happening and the vibe is just right
My favorite gym in Barrie! The staff here are incredibly friendly and the gym is always clean. There is a great selection of equipment, especially squat racks!
The staff at the front desk are mean and very rude, but ANIL literally deserves a raise I think that every gym should have a guy like him I’ve never met someone as helpful and as friendly as him. He helps you with your workout, gives you tips, talks to you in a “family” way not as a staff which is great! I love going to the gym but I’ve never loved it this much.
My favorite gym in town, I work a lot of nightshifts but when I have time off you'll find me here. I have to give credit to Aneal! Whenever I come to the gym, I see this guy sorting weights/keeping everything clean and running smooth. He's friendly, always working hard, had to give him a shout-out for the work ethic. Makes Goodlife a welcoming place.
I go to Goodlife Barrie for the Les Mills fitness classes. Each and every one of instructors at this location are phenomenal. They are incredibly knowledgeable, easy to follow and very motivating. There are a good variety of classes to choose from as well as the virtual option during non class times. From the moment you walk into the gym and are greeted with a warm welcome to when you walk out with a friendly goodbye/see you again soon, all staff are happy, friendly and welcoming. The gym itself is very clean and have excellent protocols for health and safety. I highly recommend this gym and have been a member for more than 10 years. (I did take a break one year to try another gym as it was closer to my home. I quit after 6 months and returned to Goodlife. Goodlife is the only gym if you want the fitness classes.
Hands down, best choice I’ve made switching to Goodlife (Barrie) VERY friendly team who make me actually want to go train. I look forward to walking through the doors and always feel amazing when I leave. One person that really stands out is staff member Shakira. She really took the time to make me feel comfortable and made signing up very easy. She always takes the time to say hi and ask how I'm doing. Goodlife is extremely lucky to have her.
About 6 weeks ago I went to GoodLife to talk about switching gyms from planet fitness. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by this amazing woman Shakira. She immediately took the time to sit down and talk about my past and my future goals and was insistent that I could get to where I want to be. She set me up with an amazing trainer Cameron. Over these past 6 weeks I have noticed some significant changes in myself. Everyone at GoodLife is always supportive and full of energy. I decided to start telling my friends and family about GoodLife and now have a group of 6 people that love it here. If you are thinking about going here…. DO IT and I would highly recommend talking to Shakira as she has done nothing but good things for me since I started.
This is location is my favourite! Staff is super nice, I enrolled in the personal training session with Jaspreet. He was awesome to work with he gave me tips and tricks to get the most out of every workout. I’ve been going for a little bit and am already seeing a big change in my energy levels and body. It’s great! I feel 10 years younger!
By far the best gym in Barrie. If you haven’t already tried one of the classes- YOU SHOULD. I’ve been weight training for almost 10 years… let me tell you I have never pushed myself harder than I have in a BodyPUMP class. High volume strength training combined with cardio, good music, great people, and even better instructors. Lots of modifications available for those who need them. An amazing workout for all fitness levels. I also want to say thank you to the amazing staff who are always so welcoming and keep our facility clean. I can’t wait to see you all again for my next class.
Well for starters the place is huge, It never seems busy but it is. The staff is exceptional, always friendly, approachable and helpful. The gym has everything you need from multiple pieces of equipment to trainers and classes of all kinds. Some weight droppers but that’s my own pet peeve.
I came into GoodLife a few weeks ago, looking to continue my fitness journey. The moment I walked in it felt like home, the greeting was very warm and welcoming! I had a sit down with Shakira who was absolutely amazing to talk with! She showed me around the gym and introduced me to the team at GoodLife. I signed up for a 7 pack with the personal trainer Carter. He is very knowledgeable and I’m learning something new every time I workout with him! Excited to excel in my fitness journey here at GoodLife!
Love working out at this place. Make sure you ask for this lovely lady 'Shakira' if you are looking to enroll at GoodLife Fitness Barrie. Overall the whole Staff is amazing.
Literally the best gym around! I’ve tried so many gyms, nothing compares to Goodlife.the staff is so friendly, the place is so clean and spacious, overall 10/10!
It was such a great experience today with the showcase BC release 91. Thank you to the front desk lady for her warm welcome and the rest of the staff that had a good inviting environment. A big shout out to the two BC instructors Carrie & Chista for their engagement, cueing and performance. The whole class was on fire. The energy was flowing in all directions. Thank you Goodlife Barrie club for the amazing experience I had today. I will definitely be back for more!
I am new to the whole fitness lifestyle, and I was welcomed with open arms by Shakira and then introduced to THE BEST personal trainer, Jaspreet! I have an absolute blast in every single training session with Jaspreet! Not only is he enthusiastic and personable, he has also taught me so much about proper form, and how we are working different muscle groups at the same time. I came into GoodLife looking to get stronger and do a handstand and we are tending to both of those goals every single session. He is very knowledgeable and super patient but also pushes me to do my very best. I appreciate him so much and GoodLife Barrie has literally changed my entire outlook on working out.
Very welcoming and friendly staff. Facilities are clean. Even the gym members themselves have better vibes than other gyms I've been to. I always feel very motivated here. First staff member I ever talked to was Alanna and she made me feel so comfortable discussing my fitness habits and goals. I also had personal training sessions with Cam. He's very knowledgeable and patient and through all he taught me, I feel better equipped in my fitness journey and the pursuit of my fitness goals.
Switched from LA to GoodLife and I honestly couldn't believe what a difference it made. If you think all gyms are the same like I did, than I urge you to come to GoodLife, because the service will knock your socks off, the front desk staff is always very friendly and the guy who sold me my membership, Aaron, was incredibly friendly and even showed me several pieces of equipment that they have at this gym compared to LA. Whoever's in charge of this place keep up the good work!
As a beginner and a first time gym goer I was very nervous to start my fitness journey. However all that anxiety was completely washed away when I came to GoodLife, the space is so clean and the staff are super nice! One of the fitness advisors Aaron sold me my membership and answered all of my questions thoroughly, even now when I’m confused or unsure about something I know I can go straight to Aaron and he’ll give me the information I need. 10/10 couldn’t be happier with my experience.
Great staff! Personal shout out to Alanna Katherine Aaron and my trainer Kyle this is the best GoodLife across Ontario … I have been to them all! This team and place rocks!
I look forward to going to the gym every day because of the amazing staff at the Barrie GoodLife. Recently started working with one of their trainers Cam, I leave every workout with a nasty pump. The front desk staff are always so friendly and welcoming. Alanna is there every time I go in and is always checking in with me to ask about my workouts. I’ve been to every gym in the Barrie area and GoodLife is by far my favourite. I would recommend this gym to anyone looking around, you won’t be disappointed!
Great amenities, clean, and good space. Unfortunately I had an unpleasant experience with an employee named Aaron at the front. Being new to this location and first week into a Goodlife membership, I asked if its possible for a quick tour. I was told that they only do tours for new members and it is a (and I quote) weird thing to ask. He then proceed to say everyone is also busy but he can show me around. I would also like to mention that he was playing YuGioh card games on the work computer screen which I could clearly see while he was “busy”. At this point I declined the offer and said I would show myself around. I understand it isnt a problem but I found his choice of words and attitude unpleasant. I went back to the front after changing and asked someone for Aarons name. Dorothy was able to ask me if I had any concerns and I let her know of my latest experience. She then took the time to come find me and show me around the gym. She was very friendly and I appreciate her kindness. I would love to give Dorothy a 5 star review.
Update: I was approached by Dorothy later on and was told to stop by the front as Aaron would like to apologize. He apologized and said that it is his fault, he was just caught off guard at my request but he is sorry. I thanked him for his apology but did mention that the gym can be an intimidating environment for some people so it would be nice to not feel judged.
The goodlife in Barrie is amazing! The group fitness instructors are some of the best I have ever seen! The clubs attention to cleanliness and safety through this whole pandemic has been a welcome sight and they still manage to keep smiles on their faces! Having been a member for quite some time it is clear that the new management and staff have done an incredible job to turn this into a welcoming, clean and inclusive facility! Their diverse staff brings a positive change to the typical “goodlife image”. This location is breaking down barriers and I wish there were more of the same:)
The place is really good for people and I worked out there for long time, but many times in men's washrooms some people leave toilet not flushed behind which I find to be very disgusting. Overall place good but good luck after Covid 19 if people will ever return.
I used to go to this gym for years specifically for the 24 hours & girls section. This gym is very outdated and not much had changed in the 5-6 years I had been going. Machines would have ruined seats for months and the carpet in the girls section would always reek of sweat. No WIFI or towel service. Go to any other gym in Barrie and there is WIFI. In the past few months I had decided to switch gyms to LA and could not be happier. This gym is dirty and not cut for the prices. Currently getting a way better price where I am for the quality of service & overall gym / atmosphere.
