GoodLife Fitness North York Madison Centre

Everything great! However, please reconsider dismissing the old man with the vacuum in the facility. He literally came closer with his vacuum while I was changing my clothes, making me uncomfortable. Ive been coming this place for 1.5 years, but have experienced this more than twice.

Love all classes there! Best coaching team! It’s all the equipment needed clean and big! It’s got a pool and hot yoga! Love it

An alright go-to gym.
Every area except group fitness (and maybe hot yoga + m&b studio, i haven’t been there) feels pretty cramped. Underground parking is convenient.
It gets busy from 5-8pm on weekdays. I’d recommend avoiding this range or going on weekends.

Shoutout to my trainer Nesta, he was a great motivator while I had the money. I still go to the gym thanks to him.

Super bad customer service, rude and not professional at all. A very bad impression upon entry for the first time. They cab have all the equip and pools they want, if they have this bad service I am def not going!

I have been going here for a month now. I had Goodlife for the last couple of months but was scared coming here as the personal trainer is a bit pushy when selling their programs. Just relax on pushing the personal training programming on your consumers, as this can discourage them from returning, which happened to me. I understand why then to reach the sales goal every month.

But besides that, I love going here, and the equipment is clean and the towels too. The showers need to be cleaner in the women's changing rooms besides that. I highly recommend going here as it's open 24 hours a day. The desk people are super friendly and always answer my questions. Whoever is the girl doing the night shift until 6 a.m? You are doing a fantastic job preparing the towels for pickup and answering questions. Keep it up!

It's been a couple of months that I started with my personal trainer, Shahrooz, I had the experience of being trained by other personal trainers. Still can't find a more knowledgeable and patient coach than mine. He'll create a plan that matches your body and strength goals. Personally spoken, he's an inspiring coach. He's also on time and he's so flexible with timing. The best part is he guided me with nutrition, never been happier and stronger than now. I owe you a lot, coach Shahrooz

This is my 2nd go to the gym when I am too late for yonge and finch. It's great to have a 24-hour gym close by my place. It has a pool which is open most of the time. The main weight room is beside the men's change room. The top floor has a bench press and other free weight.

The pool is closed without any notifications to the customers so you have to come all the way to the pool entrance to see the sign. You'd think they would send an actually helpful email for once instead of the ton of spam they send us.
P. S. I didn't have a class. You should just announce a major shut down like that to the members.

I had the opportunity to train with SHAHROOZ as my personal trainer. During my training sessions, SHAHROOZ demonstrated a deep understanding of different exercises and their impact on specific muscle groups. He consistently tailored my workouts to suit my goals and pushed me to achieve new levels of fitness. His expertise in designing workout plans and providing useful nutritional tips greatly contributed to my progress. Highly recommend SHAHROOZ.

However, I had a somewhat disappointing experience when I felt pressured to sign up for personal training sessions by BOBBY. There were moments during my registration time by BOBBY with excessive emphasis on promoting and encouraging me to commit to long-term training packages. While I understand the business aspect of the gym, I would have appreciated a more balanced approach that allowed me to make my own decisions without feeling pressured.

I joined this gym a few weeks ago, and overall, I am surprised that the gym is well organized and the weights are typically put away. The members seem to be respectful in that sense.

However, my experience with the men's change room has been less than pleasant. The showers are disgusting and the smell of sewage is overpowering. You can even see flies all over the place, which is really gross. It's really unpleasant and not the kind of experience you want when you're trying to get ready for the day. Additionally, the steam room doesn't steam, which is disappointing.

To make matters worse, the pool has been out of service for over a week now. This is a major letdown, especially for those of us who were looking forward to using it. It's frustrating that this issue hasn't been resolved in a timely manner.

Despite these issues, I still think this is a good gym overall. It's just a shame that the change room has been such a disappointment. I hope the management can address these issues soon, as it would really improve the overall experience of the gym.

I came here ONLY for the pool and every other GoodLife fitness have their pool “under maintenance “

Cons:
1 - Paid parking - I parked 2 hours and paid 12$ parking ticket - the front desk told me it’s free parking upto 3 hours but I was charged after 2hours. If you don’t know say you don’t know - do not give incorrect information Inspite of multiple people complaining about parking fee/ ticket
2 - Mens change room is massive but the towel bins are overflowing
3 - Steam room agin ‘under maintenance’
4- I bought the “ultimate package” for access to pool, but seems like anyone can walk in and use pool and there are no checks? I’ll let management confirm their stance as to why would I pay 1k+ if everyone can get same facilities?
Pros:
1- Friendly staff
2- one of the very few gyms with pool facilities
3- clean and lots of equipment

I am a Goodlife member and I am satisfied with it. However, this afternoon I visited this location for the first time and brought my friend as a guest. To my disappointment, the staff did not let my guest in. “Noah-sales supervisor” explained to me that “he has been working there for four years and ULTIMATE membership BENEFITS were considered EXPIRED for MADISON location since 2020. He further explained that I was misinformed about my membership benefits by sales person at the location I signed up for it! He asked me to pay $25 for my guest to access this location. ” Now, my guest had an LA membership, I visited LA two blocks away and was greeted with a welcome and smile! We did workout at LA, no problem!
I ask the manager for Madison location, if this was an example of Goodlife members being treated poorly here. Or else, Ultimate membership are in fact considered expired for them? Thanks,

I stumbled upon this gym because it was the only one open on a Stat Holiday and I’m glad I did! Being inside a corporate building, you’d think it’s dark and dingy but It’s easily the best Goodlife Fitness gym I’ve ever worked out at - side note: I worked for GLF many moons ago for about 6 years and have been to many GLF gyms across the country. The layout of this gym is a bit odd because of the walking to the free weights area but let’s get real, you’re here to exercise! This gym boasts 3 separate cardio areas, 2 separate free weight areas, 2 separate weight machine areas and a good size turf zone! This is all not including the Personal Training area either which is a great size also with its own free weights section. There is more than enough of every single piece of equipment imaginable. This gym has more multiple squat racks, bumper plates and more than enough smith machines. It also has a hip thrust machine that I have never seen at any other gym before. Admittedly, I have never been to this gym during weekday peak times, but I can imagine this gym has more than enough space and equipment for anyone and everyone. I only go weekend mornings and it’s never busy. Class studios are also all very good sizes and seem very popular. Staff is also very friendly and greet people upon entry. I highly recommend this gym to anyone

Excellent staff, instructors are great. Love the classes.
Female’s change room and shower stalls needs improvement— drains are regularly clogged.
Just check the amount of dust bunnies on the stairwell between reception area and change rooms.

Queena is an amazing trainer, I think she is one of the best trainers in this gym. I highly recommend her to all of you.

The pool is closed until further notice. You'd believe they would say something but here I am traveling for an hour, changed in my swimsuit just to find myself standing in front of a closed door.

This is my favorite Goodlife location! This location is now 24 hours again:) some people may not like the layout because of the extra walking required but I like how things are spaced out. I like having my own space. Classes - the body pump, zumba, yoga are all very good too. The instructions are enthusiastic and will work you, if you follow all their steps. Parking is now 3 hours everyday and any time so that's a big plus too!

I absolutely love Madison Goodlife.
The gym itself has multiple of all the equipment you could ask for.
The instructors for group fitness and yoga at this location are superb. They inspired me to fully turn my life around in regards to my physical health. I have endless thanks to give Luda, Olga, Mojgan, Kerry, Min, and Assata.
The staff at this gym are some of my favourite people too. I have so much love and respect for all of them and they are always so kind, going above and beyond whenever anything is asked of them. There are really too many names to mention here but I have to give one special shoutout to my man Daniil.

I cannot give enough praise to the Justin, the manager at this location. He is always looking out for members and his staff, ensuring everyone is happy. If there are any problems with equipment or damage in the facility, they are quickly fixed.

Ps. They have the best steamroom. Treat it with respect and stay blessed.

Today I visited this gym, Mariami introduced the environment, equipment and membership price to me, she is very professional, very patient, she is excellent!

Decent GoodLife but you already have had a workout after going to the change room and back because you have to do like a marathon to get there. Huge gym with everything you need so it’s got it’s pros and cons because everything is far apart. Not many choices in the area so we need to appreciate what we have.

The gym and the amenities are good.
Important: this location like others promote free parking (3hrs + 15mins to leave the building), however, incase you end up paying for the ticket due to some glitch (as it happened in my case) the stafff will not help in any way. They will ask you to talk to the building management. My question: Why keep your members lurching? I bring my car because you promote free parking. It's your responsibility to ensure i don't pay a dime in the alloted slot that you promote. The least you can do is keep reimbursement forms. Atleast a notice saying that goodlife will not help incase you pay for parking within the alloted time of 3 hrs (mine was 2 hours btw).

Why one star less? Later.but first, I started personal training consultation with Bobby and he sounds very knowledgeable and experienced! We did 1-2 days of workout and he’s really good at understanding a person’s strengths and weaknesses and works towards it. He also breaks down nutrition and styles of training. After my consultation I started personal training with Shabnam and even though she’s new, she clearly knows what she’s doing. She immediately understood what kind of workouts would work best for me and I love the pace of the training. Before I come in, she’s ready with notes/schedules so that we don’t waste any time! She’s super friendly and gives out a great motivating vibe. One star less because the pool was pretty dirty. There was hair floating everywhere, and I spotted lots of green patches at the bottom corners of the pool. A lot of people were swimming without caps so I think that should be mandated for hygiene.

This is my favourite GoodLife location in all of the GTA. The facility is always clean and organized and I never have trouble locating equipment. The staff is beyond friendly and they go out of their way to make sure that you have an amazing workout- the front desk employees are always pleasant and the GM makes himself available to all of the members of the club. The group fitness instructors are very knowledgeable and the pool is also very well maintained. The environment is exactly what I look for at a gym and I strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a fabulous fitness experience!

If you are coming to this gym for a trainer I highly recommend Shabnam! I can't say enough good things! She's incredibly dedicated and passionate to fitness in general so expect that you'll get the same passion for your health journey. She has been incredibly attentive to my fitness goals, and super organized and motivating in our weekly workouts. If you need some motivation and someone to train along I highly recommend Shabnam!

North York Madison wouldn’t function properly without the amazing customer service reps at that gym! There’s this one team member, Orris A, who’s literally hands down one of the best employee, he’s very reliable, hands on with the company and someone I look forward to seeing when I come to the gym. I’ve been a GoodLife member for over 6 years and Madison just feels like home!

The gym is big, but it is distributed over different levels where you have to keep going up and down and it is too pricy for that.
Staff were friendly and nice.

I was just there and met a very unprofessional front desk, I was planning to sign now.
I think they have to understand what is meant by i have 15 min.to final decide it and now.

Generally not over crowded but lots of machines require maintenance. Between squealing joints, and broken tv controls such as headphone jacks that are completely broken off many of the machines need updating. The WiFi also generally doesn't work. You can connect but there is rarely an active service.

Every day. I don't believe the advertising saying I lost 40 pounds in 4 months.not true for anyone.

Love this location, go there all the time, BUT they have huge problems with WiFi which is crucial for me. I wanted to do some exercises from a special app, but couldn’t because there was no internet. I told that to a lady on the front desk, she said she restarted it and it works on her phone. She said there is a problem in my phone, suggested me to try a new phone however I’m sure it’s their problem because my phone works perfectly. Also my friend had the same issue too

Amazing location, multiple floors to workout on including a swimming pool. The gym is very well kept and most of the customers are polite.

A bit crowded environment, which sometimes leads to qeueu for sets. However staff and personal trainers are very friendly. The ventilation system sometimes is not able to neutralise the odour. I would give it 2-3 stars overall

Worst center. They won't stop deducting money when you want to cancel. And they charge you even after cancelling your membership. Never go there.

THERE ARE BETTER LOCATIONS OUT THERE
1, the staff are really rude, especially when you ask for a towel.
2, this gym is located in a convenient location, so expect lots of people any time of the day and week. As such, there will be wait times for machines even though this is a relatively large location.
3, the machines and equipment aren't very new, but they are in decent condition.

The Best Ride Classes by Marc Espinet! Marc's Classes are just unique. He makes every Rider, new or old, feel welcome and part of the group. He challenges you and pushed you to go go go.and the music is just amazing!

Spacious and nice staffs. However could get jam packed between 5-8.
If you can avoid those times its great here

I cant believe it i fell for a #DeceptivePractice by this company. I signed up clearly indicating this is going to be my suplementary fitness class and i need punching bags. The day 1 i went to use it a very nervous staff runs to me and says we are not allowed to use it because they got insurance problem. FYI #GOODLIFEFITNESS, An intentional act or omission in the course of trade or commerce that has the tendency or capacity to mislead or create the likelihood ofdeception.
Thanks god i was on 3 day free pass.

Great location. They have everything I need. However, they had a perfectly designed sauna before the renovation. It’s just a regular one now, nothing special. Also, their pool repairs take forever. Still, good to know that they take care and maintain the place. Also, never had issues with the staff.

Worst place to invest your money on your health.coz they just need money.just go across the street lot of better options available.

Friendly staff and well maintained equipments. Up and down of stairs inside of the facility is acceptable, and it's an actually perfect rope-skipping area.

Good gym in good location. Happy it's 24 hours. Very good staff. Would recommend coming here if you live in the Sheppard/Yonge Area.

Parking is super tight underground but this location is great. Always well maintained and aesthetically pleasing due to renovations

This location HAS the worst customer service ever! I spoke to Peter to talk about memberships and to try out the facility (since there was a 3 day free pass). He was really pushy and made me feel uncomfortable when I told him MULTIPLE times that I would like to check out the facility and get a feel for the gym FIRST. I wanted to try out the other gyms in the area as well, I wanted to see which is the best fit for me but he proceeded to try and get me to sign a contract right away. His tone changed when I told him this (you know, I can't just sign a contract and pay hundreds of dollars RIGHT AWAY) and he suddenly became rude and hostile. Needless to say, it took me two minutes to realize that I will NEVER be coming back and will be signing with LA Fitness instead.

They decreased the free parking time limit from 3hrs to 1 and a half hours.

After you get a parking ticket, it takes time to drive in, find a parking, walk through the building to goodlife, walk to change room, change, and then do the same thing in reverse when leaving. You have to leave yourself extra time to get out on time or else you’ll get charged for parking.

This leaves only 45 mins for a quick workout, without time to shower or use other facilities like the sauna or pool.

I can’t see myself going back here unless they give their patrons more time to park. It’s not a great experience trying to rush yourself, when you’re there to better yourself.

Great location! Friendly staff, machines get really busy at rush hour (after 5pm). It would be nice to have more classes options starting at 5: 30. Other than that it's pretty good!:)

The personal trainers could train all of the areas, and we cant use the exclusively for personal training area, even when they are not using the equipments.
Extreme fitness were way better.

I am a member since 2015. So today I was going to the 6: 30 PM class. Totally forget the the membership expired 2 days back and since i live in the same building i didn't have my credit cards on me. I told them i will pay for it tomorrow but let me attend the class. Big NO in a very condescending way. Really guys you know how to treat your loyal customers!

Btw guys you literally have competition across the street. Better customer service is needed

Best gym in town! Power lifting platforms, Yoga, Hot Yoga, group fitness, pool, and amazing personal training. The staff are awesome and extremely helpful!

Excellent gym, 24/7 hours is super convenient for people with busy schedules like em, excellent facilities, and courteous staff

It is one of the nicest and one of the most convenient locations in the Toronto area. Machines are properly maintained regularly and the staff is helpful with orientation to new machines/exercises. Gets a little overcrowded during evening peak times so please make sure you plan ahead. I love that this location is 24 hrs.m/

BEST GYM IVE EVER BEEN TOO! They were very friendly when I signed up, and the personal trainers helped me alot with my workouts. 5 stars

Registered online and got phone call from 1800 number to get a 7 day free trail pass. Even got email confirmation regarding the pass. I Went there and stuff did not know what was happening. Then some one said he would be with me shortly. He then found thousands of excuse not let me sign up the free pass but introduced me their personal training program. (I know whats happening there: commission) He gave me a very hard time and didn't let me in even once. First said it's safe to have a trainer, get the 7 session training package. Second said why not try 4 session training package if 7 is too much. Third said dont waste time on registering again after 7 days. Fourth said im not qualify because i registered this location before like 2 year ago when it was still under construction and I didn't even come. Left and would never come back. (Why the heck u can't tell me either in the phone or email that I can't get 7 day free pass? And wasted me at least ONE and HALF hour plus gas)

Maddison Goodlife is one the best managed gyms in the neighbourhood. The staff is super friendly and it’s open 24 hours!

So many good memories!

This is one of the top gyms that I have ever been to! Great selection of equipment and space is very well designed; has a spacious and lively green zone. Well maintained and helpful staff.

I went for a tour of this place. Amazing facilities with a pool. I just did not feel the place so did not join.

Best GoodLIfe! The trainers are amazing and really sociable, the place is clean and have a lot of different classes that are always good ways to train. Will recommend it 100%

This gym has friendly front staff and knowledgeable trainers. I have been very happy with my experience in personal training here. The trainer has helped me and my husband get in the best shape of our lives. I highly recommend getting a trainer if it fits the budget.
Gym equipment is not the newest but they continue to get upgraded throughout the year. It can get quite busy in the evenings.

By far my favorite Goodlife location. I love that its 24hrs. However, it does get very busy around 5-6pm.

One of the best GoodLife locations. Gets a little overcrowded during the busy times but has a good variety of machines and free weights. It has a yoga studio, spin classes, a pool, steam room and other amenities. Frustrating that they run out of parking sometimes but once again only happens around 6 during the weekdays (busiest time). If the steam room wouldn’t break down all the time I would give it 5 stars. Monthly rate could be cheaper but still a great location and will continue to go to this one over others.

Spacious gym with a good variety of equipment and friendly front desk staff. The locker rooms are clean and not too crowded. I love the layout of the gym. You get a good warm up just walking from one end to the other! Best of all, there is free underground parking and it is open 24/7. Worth a visit ;)

I never regret sign up for Goodlife, it’s a life changing decision! I’m happier with my body shape now!

A nice location with a good selection of weight lifting equipment. They recently renovated the place and it looks amazing. The steam room and swimming pool are great perks but it can get quite packed at times. The parking is also pretty limited and the steam room breaks down occasionally. Would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a gym in the area.

Got kicked out form the equipment because I am without a trainer IN A FULLY EMPTY GYM ON A FAMILY DAY by a none uniformed “trainer” who apparently doesn’t have to wear uniform because it’s his/her day off! They don’t know how to talk to customers what’s so ever, and when they lack arguments they call more employees to attack you! Very rude!

Special S/O to overnight employees! Always welcoming and happy!

The gym equipment and the classes offered are arguably the best in Toronto. LA fitness does not stand a chance compared to this goodlife. Everything is super clean too. They really gotta hire staff that have an IQ of above 70 and don't pretend "they run the place".

This is a great gym, staff is friendly and they have all sorts of equipment for all your muscle groups and cardiovascular needs.
