GoodLife Fitness Georgetown Sinclair and Guelph

One of the busiest gym around.
Less spacious not matching standards of goodlife gym at all

Excellent location. Always clean & spacious enough to get in an incredible workout. What separates this location is the staff. Their front desk employees are professional, welcoming & authentic. A special shoutout to front desk employee Tristan who every time I attend the gym he greets my self and others with an authentic welcome & smile.

Due to employees like this is what inclines me to recommend this location and the overall brand of GoodLife.

Thank you!

Everyone is friendly. The place is clean and has most machines. Even a new rack and cable machine was added recently. Great gym.

For about 10 years I've been going to this gym. Staff is always really great, place is clean. I like the sauna and just overall good vibes. The studios are well maintained and the personal trainers never feel overbearing or rude. The machines are recently updated which is really nice too. Tommy is a great manager too and consistently say hi to new people and regulars. All in all a great gym.

I have been going to this gym for a while now and have always enjoyed the gym as a whole. However the gym has made recent changes to make it even better! With the new machines in the gym it really helps out on peak hours. With already great staff, awesome management and now new machines this gym is the go to place.

Girl working at reception Holly made me cancel the membership.
Worst costumer dealing I ever seen.
Rude, not professional, anti sales.

A gem of fitness excellence! Lovely staff, top-notch facilities, and exceptional service. Clean and well-maintained with state-of-the-art equipment. Diverse fitness classes, skilled instructors and a welcoming community. Reasonable membership fees. Highly recommended!

Coming from Mcglaughlin Goodlife these location has a way better atmosphere and more respectful gym members. Yes it's not the biggest but overall has what everyone that goes to a gym needs. The staff is very polite and always greets there guests with smile.

Even though it's smaller and has fewer machines coming from the Mcglaughlin location that is massive just overall these location is much more relaxed and doesn't feel as chaotic even on there busy times.

The only good thing about this gym is the variety of equipment and the 17.5lbs free weights. If that's the only thing you require and you enjoy uncalibrated, outdated machines this is your spot. In addition to that selling point you have treadmills that don't incline, step climbers that seem to be constantly out of service, grip handles on machines saturated with glue as if it was a home job getting your hands black and sticky, a rotating straight bar in desperate need of WD-40, toilet height in the women's lockers made strictly for women 6'1 and above so you can dangle your feet while you tinkle and the pure body oder and lack of proper ventilation when busy is horrid. I don't think they have EVER done a deep clean of this gym since it's existence. This GoodLife is absolutely the filthiest gym I've ever been to, it truly is disgusting. They also have a serious theft problem and I'm sure with the little cameras that they do have they probably have the pixel quality of Minecraft. Also if you enjoy appearing warped from the torso up just move to the second mirror beginning from the left side of the free weights and don't even think about deadlifting 6-8 plates, you'll further bend the already bended cheap quality bars. The photos posted below from another poor review are just the tip of the iceberg. To be honest, this gym doesn't do poorly for money so it blows my mind they can't even hire private cleaning staff like Anytime Fitness does (currently closed) and I'm devastated that they have shut down even though they didn't have a verity of equipment the place was spotless and the only reason I signed up for this GoodLife was to come, use a few machines, and get out. The new hip thrust machine just isn't going to cut it. The three young blonde ladies that are always working are fantastic, as well as Caleb and Jake PT. New tall guy manager seems chill, could smile more. I feel like this place has an insane turnover rate for staff which is probably a management/owner issue and I can see why and the rate of pay is probably garbage too. I bet the owners never show face in this gym or interact with their staff which is a HUGE red flag. Your better off driving to a different big box gym. This concludes my review.

My 5 star review goes to the manager Ryan. I injured myself at the gym (100% my fault) and Ryan’s customer service, care and empathy was incredible. He truly went above and beyond to ensure I was ok and taken care of. Thank you Ryan!

This is where the most of my days start – GoodLife. I could not be more grateful of having a gym in a such a small community, where most of the people stay connected and involved, therefore sometimes it’s a challenge to raise the voice and get someone who truly cares attention.
Even with the limited space this gym has the most dedicated Instructors, Personal Trainers and Front Desk Staff: BIG thank you all – your above and beyond extra miles are well noticed – you are the best.
This is one of only few reasons why its 2 stars review – the staff keeps the feedback well above the water…
Few of my concerns:
- gym’s cleanliness. I have been coming to Georgetown’s, Sinclair and Guelph location for over 5 years and member of GoodLife for over 10 years, and its never been as dirty as for the last 6 month. It almost looks like cleanliness and the feedbacks keep being ignored. The workout machines are as clean as they can be, since most of the members clean them before and after the usage, however general area, mats, change rooms, bathrooms are too much to handle, attached photos for reference. Is this what comes with gym’s membership – a new responsibility of maintaining cleanliness?
- someone to manage and care about this location. It almost seems that the management rather cares about the excuses then handling the issues. Not sure if that’s GoodLife’s policy or something that is tolerable – we can’t have both: either excuses or results. All it takes is to walk around the small area and look what’s not right: maybe some repairs are required, the spray bottles are empty or out of paper towels - it’s not that hard. Really don’t have to wait until someone points out well known problem. It is also important to seek for feedback, I am sure that would help to improve the relationship. Questions and Actions.
We really need someone who truly cares about this location and I am sure to be not the only one who thinks so – it’s a small community, we stay close…
In general despite few concerns, which I am positive can be resolved (Questions and Actions), this location helps to bring people together and highly contributes to well-being.
Cheers,

Not enough equipment, never been open 24-7 but paying for it for yrs now and says they are open on holiday Monday but drive there and it’s closed, time to look for new gym, used to be better a few yrs ago

It is a small gym, staff members are polite, courteous, and helpful. I went in there for a quick workout, it wad a positive experience nonetheless.

Friendly staff, lots of equipment for whatever you're into. I especially like the rowing machine. There's a blood pressure machine along with sauna, tanning bed and booth and they also offer chiropractic treatment. I like the massage chairs and the latest inclusion of free wifi is much appreciated!

Ive been a Goodlife member for almost 15 yrs. Ive been coming to the Georgetown location for the last 5. I can honestly say the Georgetown location is by far the best Goodlife around. All the staff are extremely professional. Brittney the manager is great. If you are looking to join a great Gym this is definitely the one.

I’ve been to many gyms in my lifetime and I can definitely say without a doubt this is the best gym I have ever been to, the staff are friendly and always go above and beyond for their members, the gym is constantly being clean, and the atmosphere of the entire environment helps motivate me during my workouts. I would definitely recommend this gym to my peers.

Lovely staff and great members️Very clean and very spacious, I used to weigh 150 lbs of fat but now I’m 150 lbs of pure muscle ALL THANKS TO THIS GYM. Buy PT it’ll change your life!

We spoke with fitness advisors, Adam and Talha at GoodLife Fitness in Georgetown before deciding to take the plunge. They are both well- informed and understand your needs to direct you towards the right program. Both of them were courteous and friendly and instantly made us feel welcomed to the gym. It was impressive to see how the team at the gym are also taking every precaution necessary to ensure members feel safe from COVID-19. The gym tour was very helpful as they took us through every section and explained how we could utilise those sections as part of our fitness journey.

I’ve been a member of this gym for over a decade. The staff is outstanding, the fitness staff, the maintenance crew, and the custodian staff. All fantastic.

Professional and cordial.

They have performed above and beyond during the pandemic keeping the clients informed and the facility clean.

A special acknowledgement to the gym manager Brittney Whelan for maintaining this professional atmosphere for the past 10 years.

Outstanding Team.

I would like to thank the management team for their hard work keeping us safe. I saw first hand today dozens of people being turned away for not adhering to the provinces new Covid guidelines. When I thanked a staff member he replied “thank you, but it’s my job” but I disagree with him. It’s not his job to take abuse from people that are not following the guidelines. If you live in Toronto, Ottawa or Peel stay there and do your part. I hope the good people at Goodlife continue to do this difficult job and keep Halton safe.
Thanks again,
Cheers
Brian

I had incredibly great customer service from the assistant GM Adam Gould. Thank you for your help!

A bit small and for whatever reason is the only GoodLife I’ve ever been to that doesn’t have wifi? It’s 2020 people.

I truly love this location. I frequent GoodLife's all over the GTA due to my employment and I can say without hesitation that this gym is by far the most clean and has the most friendly staff. Both before the COVID19 closure and after this gym has always greeted members with a nice smile, been open to feedback, friendly and they take pride in the condition of the gym. Some equipment is a little outdated and it would be nice if they replaced some of it with the new stuff you see in the newer clubs but I know that isn't up to the general manager. Manager has been there a while and seems to know a lot of people by name and is always making conversation with people out on the floor and her staff do the same. Overall it is run well and I enjoy my time here. Keep up the good work

Went back to the gym today after the 4 months of COVID closure. Wow! So impressed with the cleaning & set up. Very efficient check in process, lots of signage. The group fitness studio is really well set up for the modified class sizes & required spacing. But what I loved the most was seeing all the staff back at work and you could tell they were happy too. For anyone complaining about the new “book your workout” system, just try it. Honestly I felt so safe in the gym. Sad that it has to stay so empty at this stage but no issues parking.

I had been training with Mike Aancheta since last year and he was amazing. I originally started with just a trial run doing some of his martial arts training and ended up loving it. I continued with him at least once a week, sometimes twice. He is super motivating, patient, and does a great job pushing you to go beyond what you think you’re capable of. I was feeling progress after each week and his energy and knowledge helped me see my potential and got me hooked. I can’t wait for quarantine to be over to start training with him again!

The staff is very friendly. The parking lot is very busy on Monday thru Wednesday from 5 to 6pm so I now park across the street in the Shoppers parking lot. Sometimes they run out of soap and paper towel so they have to go and buy some. It's a nice place and I've been going there for many years now since I live in town. I highly recommend this place.

The gym is very good and has lots of equipment. The personal trainer Liam is fantastic, Jamie the manager is also good.
The one thing that didn’t allow me to give five stars is the crowds at times is overwhelming.

Parking lot and gym is far to small for the amount of traffic this gym gets. And dont break a machine here because it will never be fixed or replaced

This gym is not 24/7 false advertising, the equipment there is not the best but the stuff is vary friendly.

The equipment needs to be updated and there needs to be more of it. Not just one of each. Also repairs take an awfully long time. It would also help if patrons of the gym actually had some etiquette and wiped down equipment after use.

Good gym but I joined up believing the 24 hour sign meant 24/7 but only opened 24 hours on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Also, same equipment and facilities as Fit for Less but 3 times the price.

I recently have been doing personal training with Mike Ancheta and I would highly recommend him to anyone. He is so understanding of how people are different and how different things work for their body. Whenever I was concerned about something he would talk to me about how to do things properly and always made me feel more comfortable. There where times when I thought I wasn't going to be able to do something but with Mike's encouragement I would try and he was usually right. He is an amazing trainer and person, he definitely helps his clients hit their goals.

I wish there was a minus option in Star ratings. No Wi-Fi to start. Like what year are we in no Wi-Fi at your local gym. Very small and for a small gym important to keep things tidy which this gym does not. Im disappointed in general I will not return to this location

I worked with Mike Ancheta for two years and he has always been incredibly professional, personable, reliable and dedicated to my fitness plan. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is dedicated to continuing to work on their personal fitness with a positive, encouraging trainer.

I cannot say enough about Mike Ancheta. His Fascial Stretch Therapy sessions have improved my mobility so much and alleviated any muscle and joint tightness from exercise and sport. The sessions are targeted to my needs and the stretches are gentle but effective. Mikey really goes above and beyond for his clients. My husband and I can't thank him enough for all he has done to support our fitness journeys.

Pretty tidy and awesome staff! I had an accident and injured my finger, and Summer and another staff member went above and beyond to make sure I was okay, even though (I think) their shift was over. She even brought me her personal frozen veggies to use as ice for my finger. The rest of the staff are always friendly too. Love that there are olympic plates to use.

Great place, staff is exceptional and place is very neat and clean. Robyn has been exceptional customer service, and I highly recommend newcomers to speak to her or one of the reps over there to guide you through the starting process.

Came here while I visited from the states. It's s good, clean gym and the staff are super friendly. Made me wish I had a gym like this where I'm located. Only slight downside is it can be a little tight and machines are somewhat condensed together. Other than that it's great.

This isn’t a bad gym. I do like the hours and the people are nice, but there is a serious lack of equipment here for such a premium gym.

Never joined gym before, was nervous at first. Caitlin was great and answered my questions, PT Troy showed me machines and how to use them properly.the staff are friendly and encourage me to keep at it so I can meet and maintain my goals.

All the equipment however never see a cleaner and the smell of feet is always there. Make sure you wipe your equipment.
