I registered for a 3 day free trial through their website, so I could get a feel for Goodlife…read moreChermside and I ended up signing up the next day. That's how much I liked it. Goodlife gym in Chermside has been open now for about 5 years and is still going strong. Being located in the shopping centre has its disadvantages, especially with the parking situation at Chermside, but I can walk from home in about 20 minutes and I think I'll avoid driving there on weekends to avoid the parking nightmare. The rooftop parking near the gym entrance is actually not too bad during the week, as most cars tend to avoid this tucked away corner of the rooftop. The gym itself is pretty damn swish. It is really huge. Rows and rows of cardio equipment, all in pretty decent condition. All the machines have TV screens and you can watch one of the many stations playing or you can plug in your iPhone or iPad using the plug to watch or listen to your own stuff. There's a ladies-only area too, which has a few cardio machines, pin weights and free weights. It's nice to have this little space in case the guys in the main weights area intimidate you. All new members get a free training session with a trainer, who goes over your goals and puts together a workout plan. You get another session every 8 weeks to review and update your workout, which is a nice feature that many chain gyms don't offer. Goodlife at Chermside have just started offering Home Memberships, which is a cheaper weekly rate but means you don't have access to every Goodlife around Brisbane. But you can always upgrade your membership later on, if you need this access. The timetable of classes is pretty impressive too. The summer timetable has 43 classes and 12 cycle classes over a week, at various times throughout the day from 5:45am to 7:45pm. Both the cycle room and the class room are really large, so I think you would always get a spot even during peak time. They also have a sauna and steam room, and have child-minding services from 8am to midday every day except Sunday, and 4pm to 8pm on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. A new feature is the TRX Suspension Training, which Goodlife in Chermside offers. Most of the trainers are now TRX qualified, and you train in small teams.
