GoodLife Fitness Toronto Bloor and Park

Love this location, it does get really busy at times. I love how clean it is, the lady who cleans is very polite and a hard worker, thanks to her, the women’s change room is always clean and never stinks (I’ve had bad experiences at some other locations). Staff at front desk is very friendly as well, I would like to point out David, I feel like he goes above and beyond; everytime I’m there, I see him working, he’s on the floor often as well, putting away the weights and etc, he helps keep the place nice and organized.

The gym is spacious with lots of equipment and quite busy. It’s a little old but has a good vibe and the staff are decent too, but one thing that makes it terrible is the cleanliness and the associated stench. The dumbells and bars are sticky and smell terrible. I haven’t seen anyone clean the handles like other goodlife locations do. I hope this gets addressed in the future until then my review remains.

Im going to this gym about 7 years now, they are nice and polite, but there is one Coach work there, his name is Asim!
He is really really really rude person! He is aggressive and unprofessional!
Please stay away from him, definitely good life management should to ask him about any proof of mental health!
Asim is very unprofessional!

I used to love this gym, great staff and good vibe. Convenient location, I could get massage and use tanning bed and I used to pay $50 monthly which was great, but the equipment and quality is changing everyday, there is no massage or tanning bed now and it get less day by day. These were the advantages of being member of Good life but now it’s turning to a basic gym you may just go for workout and nothing more, staffs are welcoming and that is what keeps me going there but I need much more for paying 90$ a month sometimes there is no towel so you can’t wait to get your shower if u r in rush.not sure if I keep my membership if quality of Good Life doesn’t change or get worse.

They hired this new cleaner who’s not only super creepy and stares at people when they workout but also cleans their equipment AS THEY’RE WORKING OUT.

Jasmine was so helpful and nice when answering my questions about putting my account on hold. Such a sweet girl with a beautiful smile

I don’t usually review especially to say something negative but this time I have to do it because the sauna and steam room have been broken for over a week and nothing is being done.
I had surgery on my foot and after workout I like to stretch it out on the sauna but there is always problems with their sauna or steam room.
The staff is pretty nice but the place is not well kept,

It's a great location, nice staff, good equipment and 3 floors. 4 stars and not 5 because the steam sauna is barely if ever working, and despite flagging this issue on multiple occasion by myself and others, it's not resolved. This problem sustained for more than 2 weeks now. When is maintenance done? Otherwise, pleasant experience overall.

The gym is decent. Could use some more equipment.

Although Victorio is excellent and definitely deserves a raise and/or promotion.

A lot of space and good quality machines, but I have no clue why they have so many treadmills (which I have barely seen any people use in my one month at this gym) and only THREE squat racks. The machines are kept all over the place and not organized in any cohesive manner. Decent place to workout but need to change this because most people come to this gym to lift weights.

This has to be the worst Goodlife ever for locker room thefts. Turn your back or walk away for 4 seconds to wash hands and poof shoes and track pants gone. Who steals someone's shoes. Older shoes and needed to walk home. Track pants hanging out slightly of a lock locker. OMG this place is nuts. And the first time while having a shower someone stole my dress shoes for work. Unbelievable and really low of someone.

No hot water in shower for now 2-3 weeks! Water damage ceiling tile and looks like a wall by the stairmaster has mold. Dont go there! Wish management would do something about all of theses issues!

We wont go back at all. They try to fraud us! Due to Covid 19, we havenot go back since last year. However, the case is still going up, we decided to cancel the membership. However, they said we have to give them 30 days notice, but we didnt. So, they charged us whole month membership fee. The worst thing for this is we could call their customer service number, its always so busy, and they hanged up our phone call. There is no way to cancel my membership but pay them.

This gym gets absolutely rammed. The free weight area has low ceilings and not the best ventilation. It’s primarily dudes and it generally stinks. The floors are divided a little and the machines are a little dated. There are only about 7 benches in the free weight area and not much room to move around or do your own thing in a corner somewhere. There are a lot of classes so that rules out using the rooms most of the time. I can’t even go here during the week as it’s way too busy. The plus side is that there’s a steam and sauna and the staff are friendly. GoodLife gyms in generally are overcrowded so I guess it’s not that unusual but going during the week after 11am or on weekends is frustrating.
After cancelling my membership months ago, I was just billed more than my original monthly fee by 3x.

I have done a few personal training sessions with Cherise, and had an amazing experience. Cherise is definitely on the top 3 best personal trainers at this location. She is super energetic and positive. Cherise understands her clients needs and challenges, which is so helpful when starting a new workout routine.

Thanks for your hard work Cherise!

This gym is the best for working out during this pandemic. Only 30 people can workout each hour and the staff are really nice too and they keep the club well sanitize, credit for them specially the manager Danilo! Well done guys!

I started my personal training with Shokouh 5 months ago and so far I am extremely happy with her. She is very kind, nice and supportive. Training with her does not feel like working out. I reached my goal and she tells me I can do better. She believes and cares about her clients and always makes sure they get the attention they need. Overall, this GoodLife fitness location has been great. The staff are friendly and always happy to help.

For me, the best unit at GoodLife Bloor and Park. Organized, clean and with excellent classes. The staff are very friendly and always help with whatever is needed.

This Goodlife location has - by far- the best customer service I have encountered. I have been a member of goodlife for a couple of years and recently wanted to change gym locations. Kali gave me a tour of the club and was very informative and kind. It was a great experience! So happy to call this location my new work out spot! Thanks again Kali!

I have been a member for 10 years. I rotate three locations: Bloor Park, Yorkville, and Manulife. I basically chase Pump and Combat classes on these three locations. Totally recommend this location! Its the cleanest one, and noticed new paint colors 2. Compare to the Yorville and Manulife locations, the Bloor Park Goodlife is the cleanest one.

I had the pleasure of working with Nash (Instagram: nash.umardin) when I was his manager.
Nash consistently demonstrated integrity, empathy, and exemplary service to help his clients achieve their desired fitness/health outcomes.

Nash will over deliver beyond a standard fitness consultation to help you set your appropriate fitness goals, and get permanent results.

Not only is he a Fitness Manager but a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist. It’s obvious that he also practices the lifestyle he preaches and consistently challenges himself in his own fitness endeavours.

If you’re a member or looking for a leading fitness/health expert, don’t hesitate to say check in with Nash. You’ll regret why you didn’t connect with him sooner! He may be a big muscular guy, but he’s a cat person. In between sets you can share a nice aw or lol watching cat videos. In short, just an all around great person to chat up!

Sauna and steam room at this gym are NOT CLEAN. The machines are OLD. But at the same time the membership is EXPENSIVE comparing to other gyms. Also after I cancelled my membership and asked them TWICE if there would be no charges and they confirmed it, they charged me for another biweekly period next day. Overall going to this gym was a BAD EXPERIENCE.

The gym is kept clean and has a variety of equipment and programs. The staff is friendly and courteous. The hours could be extended on Sat and Sundays but besides that its a solid gym

I love my training sessions together with Gaby. I am clumsy at the very beginning, and it took us quite some time to do each exercise right. Gaby is sometimes strict with me, but also makes me feel comfortable. That's why I am making progress while at the same time don't feel too much pressure. She tried every method to adjust our training, until finally I can make progress steadily. Now my body fat had decreased greatly from around 32% to around 24%, and my strength grows a lot. I look much much slimmer although my weight doesn't change much. I have a better body structure, and I am quite satisfied and proud of myself. I am much more healthier both physically and spiritually. The training session makes me more confident and happy. Thank you Gaby! I will miss you.

The layout of this particular location is strange - spread over 4 (ish) stories, and with some odd repetition of equipment across them (e.g, you'll find treadmills and ellipticals both on the first level and the fourth). Some may find this annoying, but in some ways it makes the gym feel less busy and if something is occupied on one floor it may be open on another.
Overall lots of great equipment here and a friendly crowd; the only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that there is no platform, or even non-octagonal plates, so I choose to go to the nearby Manulife Center to deadlift.

I started my fitness journey this January at this location. Everything is great so far. I took help of personal trainer for the first six months and every dollar spent is worth it.
This location is not the best in the city but definitely an extremely accessible location and they keep updating the equipment frequently. There is minimal wait time.

However, yesterday evening (labor day), somebody broke into my locker and gone through my stuff. I lost my lock and a twenty dollar bill in my wallet. The management didn't even bother to respond to my formal complaint. This is absolutely ridiculous management and didn't expect this from Goodlife.

I'll still be going here as it is very close to my home and work but will definitely use bigger locks. I had very high respect for the staff here but it won't be the same after this incident.

I can always rely on this Goodlife location having a reasonable level of activity at all hours of the day, resulting in 0 to minimal equipment wait times. The staff here is also extremely friendly, always ready to greet clients and say goodbye. The only knock on this location is that it’s somewhat challenging to access the first few times, as it’s located within a residential building.

I’ve had a few sessions with Kris now and I’m feeling great. I feel like I’m working out with a friend and I’m learning a lot. My form has already improved a great deal.

This location is always clean and the staff are very polite and helpful. You know when you go somewhere and the employees insist on finishing their conversation before they help you? Not here. No matter who you are, you walk in and they’re happy to speak with you.

TLDR; this location is the best.

They advertised that breakfast wraps are $6, no other information or limitation listed on the ads. I bought a signature chicken wrap, I was charged $9.05! I asked why it’s not $6 plus tax, she said the $6 is only for after 3pm. But this is NOT being specified anywhere! This store lies to their customers. I won’t go again!

I guess you can call this a high end gym, it is in a nicer building, and has both a sauna and a stream room.

I opted for a trial membership at the gym for 45 days and I was told by the representative that if you like you can take a package and continue.

I showed my interest in cancellation of my trial membership couple of weeks back but instead of cancelling the membership I have been charged to my account and no cancellation.

This is very absurt and disappointing and feels I have been cheated.

I want refund on my account that has been charged to me asap and cancellation of my membership.

I have email again to you members email ID.

The staff at Bloor Park are warm and welcoming. I am always greeted with a smile and they have always been helpful answering my questions. While the decor is a bit dated, it’s very clean and well taken care of.

Thank You Goodlife for giving Hands Of Gold Spa, the chance to show your clients who we are. We came and provided FREE Neck and Shoulder Massage. The response was Great. We loved coming and showing everyone something different; we will definitely be Back. Goodlife is using the opportunity to get New Businesses Through The Door with more potential Clients. If you are a new, small business, this company is great with assisting you. Don't Hesitate to ask questions and take advantage of some free Service.

Thank You Goodlife
We Hope To See You All Soon!

Tl;dr: wacky, with several half-floors, old machines, impoverished amenities.

What was this gym before becoming a gym? A carnival? Who knows. It certainly feels carnivalesque, discovering this quasi-hidden gym buried in a residential building. It’s funny in a bad way, fecklessly traipsing to and fro, struggling to locate the staircase that leads you to where you wanna go.

Up-up? Down-down-up? Up-down-up? Square-circle-ex? Who knows. Maybe that’s part of the workout, like a mental workout, a memory game. The women’s change room is on the first floor, the men’s on the second. Why? Just because!

Even when you get to where you’ve wanted to go all along, you’ll realize it probably isn’t what you imagined:

Though usable, the machines are dilapidated and sad; the essentials (dumbbell rack, free weights) are sparse and cramped; there are only two squat racks, both geriatric and tucked away in a corner; benches sparse and constantly commandeered.

If all you want is cardio, you’re in luck! If you haven’t already learned from the fantasia floor plan, this gym has cardio: there’s a trove of elliptical machines, various step-climbing devices, a good row of treadmills on the first floor.

I haven’t been to this gym often enough to assess peak times and off times, but I can imagine just from the low ceilings and tiny change rooms and miniaturized saunas and narrow half-staircases that this gym gets cloying effortlessly.

Could be worse. Could be a lot better. I wouldn’t frequent this gym by choice—unless a clown with a knife were chasing me, in which case this broken landscape would perfectly complete the funhouse experience.

Honestly not as clean as other locations. You can definitely do a full workout here.

They need better signage because it took me forever to just find them.

On the west side of Park road north of bloor you'll find a condo residence entrance. That's where you'll find the elevator to get to the goodlife.

This is a gym and a museum at the same time. They have towels older than the country, brought by the first nations. It's one of my favorite things about this gym, you not only get to see these artifacts but also use them and feel how tough life was back then. Truly remarkable!

Update: Their employees are just bullies, let alone customer service. Don't take them seriously

This location has super energized and engaging personal trainers/staff. Over the past year, the energy has definitely changed and is even better than before! There's been some new faces and I can't say I love gyms that are busy. Ever. But it's probably a sign it means it's good. The members that come here are all engaging too. Really like this location! Everyone is helpful and goes out of their way for you. It's a 4 floor gym. Perfect for leg day! Lol.

The front desk staff is rude to the core. There is one black guy on the desk (not chris, chris is the only good staff member who is firmt for service industry). This black guy is rude and argues with yoy for taking a towel when u have paid for it. You will usually see him sitting on the massage chairs meant for members while members wait. Fire this guy for sure along with many others if they cant be polite

3 weeks into the gym, at 8 Park. Have a wonderful personal trainer. Already see a positive difference, feel more fit and light

Have advised the front desk several times and have filled out a Maintenance Request in the Corporate Site for the stand up tanning booth as there are several bulbs burnt out. No one seems to care. As a corporate member, you would think that someone would at least respond or provide some feedback on my comments. I will probably transfer my membership to a different location where I feel more valued.

It can be a bit confusing to get to. You can get to it from the inside by going upstairs from the food court, or from the outside on park street. It shares the same entrance as the condo residence so you need to buzz in.

Staff are friendly, and they have two massage chairs at the front.

This GoodLife has 4 floors, with change rooms on the 2nd. A bunch of stairs - but I guess if you’re trying to work out this is good. I haven’t seen any other elevators to get up to each floors so there might be some accessibility issues here.

They have a hot sauna and a dry sauna, and since I’ve been going it’s fairly clean.

Staff at the reception could take a bit of training, they are just plain rude. The trainers like Brendan D could use lessons or two in good manners.
The Facility is dated but conviently located.
