A man that has no idea how to treat his women staff nor women clients. Horrible place, left a bit ago and im very happy I joined a new gym. Do not recommend.

I was a member of this gym for many years and very satisfied overall…read more It isn't one of the monster chains and therefore may not satisfy many people's needs in terms of size or hours (it is restricted in terms of size and hours because it's right in the middle of the mall), but I never had a better membership experience. The place is kept pretty clean, and the amenities are pretty good - plenty of showers, code combination lockers, and a fair range of hair dryers and freebie lotions and toiletry products. I found the price VERY reasonable, maybe partly due to the fact that I had qualified for a corporate type membership, but I also have to say that I was very pleased that with the passing of the years that I was a customer, I wasn't subject to any rate increase. There are several staff who have been here for years, and some of them are truly great instructors - I remember mostly Gillian (sp.?) for her spin and aerobics type classes. I would end up usually just making use of the machines to fit my schedule, and found them adequate - your usual treadmills, ellipticals, rowing machines, stair machines. They were generally all in good working order and well maintained. There are plenty of specialist staff if you want additional services. You do get the sales pitch for those when you get your complimentary services, but it's not too high pressure and the complimentary services are a good start to your membership. Most of all, I have to give this gym 5 stars for their service and integrity - including that point where you cancel your membership. (Not to mention, it was great having a stint of many years without the place going out of business, as gyms tend to do.) When I came in to do the final deed, it was the most painless experience (pun intended) a gym could offer - they promptly, efficiently, and with a smile, processed my paperwork, confirmed dates and amounts, and reassured me with an official slip in the event that there were any glitches with payments ending (there were none). I can't believe it, but it was a sad good-bye to this gym. I hope and pray that I can find a replacement that can fill its shoes. I would go back in a raised rate heartbeat.

When I walk in I like the fact that the staff are super nice :) very welcoming and friendly. The machines are nice and clean. Since I am not super strong, the weights are just right for me. The locker rooms are nicely taken care of and the guests here do wipe down the machines after they use it. Also the fact that it's purple and yellow makes the gym extra cute! If you go to the tables near the entrance they actually have free pens (purple ink!). My boyfriend actually has the black card which comes down to $25/month and it includes access to all plant fitness, massages (btw u need to try the hydro massage!), 50% drinks, and you can always bring one person in. My gym membership is worth $45/month at good life. Planet fitness is so worth it!

Hopefully rules/mindfulness can be enforced a bit more. Bring your own headphones because music is atrocious! Can't beat the price, though.

Very clean, and machines are in excellent condition. I loved the changerooms. They also offer competitive membership fees.

There are two facilities here that operate under different names. The first one is Primal Movement,…read morewhich is primarily bootcamp focused. Equipment: Good variety of equipment, with tires, weights, ropes (vertical and battle), kettlebells, barbells, dumb bells, sleds, etc. Good variety, though the equipment is starting to show it's age a bit. Regardless, it does the job. Facility: The bootcamps take place on the 1st floor, however there is only one shower, one bathroom and one change room. Also, if you are driving, there is a parking lot, but I'd be very cautious, as the road entrance is full of mini potholes, so drive slow, especially when it's dark out. In the basement, there is a fairly large MMA area with mats and heavy bags where they do kickboxing, Muay Thai, boxing and BJJ. Classes: I've done the bootcamp and kickboxing classes. The bootcamp classes are pretty typical and I think it's great if you want to lose weight or tone up. It may not be ideal if you want to lift heavy. The kickboxing classes are a good mix of conditioning and technique as well. Good cardio workout. People/Trainers: All the trainers/coaches are very nice here. They seem to be relaxed until it's show time and then it's time for them to get on you. Verdict: I think it's a great place to train if your goal is to lose weight, get toned, and get back into shape, however if your goal is to lift heavy, it may not be the best place because it doesn't have platforms (they use mats instead) and there are businesses below them. Also, I would probably recommend for any MMA type stuff as well. It's a good place, just one minor warning - be careful in their gravel parking lot. It has lots of pot holes. Not their fault, but the landlord should really pave that.

When I moved back to Toronto in December, I stumbled upon Primal Movement in my search for a new…read moregym to join. The owner, Thomas, was extremely helpful and encouraged me to come in a try it for free. When I went in, I was greeted enthusiastically by trainers, and by Thomas himself. The gym is spacious and has tons of equipment including ropes (undulation and hanging), prowler, turf, heavy bags, med balls, stab balls, TRX bands, resistance bands, free weights, squat racks, treadmills, bikes, cable machines etc... There was honestly nothing missing. SO I joined and I love it there. He doesn't require you to sign any contract, which is fine because nothing would make me want to leave! The highlights of primal that set it apart from other gyms are: - Variety (kickboxing, team training, personal training, brazilian Jiu Jitsu, yoga, beach training, open gym hours and I'm probably missing some). - Clean bathrooms and showers - It's never too busy - Lots of room - Friendly staff If all of that doesn't convince you, how about FREE PARKING in the back. I've met a lot of cool people at Primal and met a lot of fitness goals. I highly recommend checking it out.

Think Twice before JOIN Goodlife -- DECEPTIVE BILLING & TRAP-LIKE POLICIES…read more If you're considering joining GoodLife Fitness, please learn from my experience and think twice before signing up. What happened to me feels like a deliberate setup to trap customers into unfair charges. Here are the facts: On December 8, 2025, I submitted an online request on Goodlife website to Temporary freeze my membership until April 30, 2026. My billing date is normally the 9th of each month (CAD $116.52), which is exactly why I submitted the request on the 8th -- to avoid being charged. From that date onward, neither I nor my secondary member ever visited the club again. According to information on GoodLife's website, a frozen membership should cost only $10/month. Yet here's what actually happened: * Dec 9, 2025: Charged $116.52 * Jan 9, 2026: Charged $21.04 * Feb 9, 2026: Charged $69.56 * Mar 9, 2026: Charged $69.56 This is completely inconsistent, confusing, and clearly not the advertised freeze fee. When I called customer service on March 24, 2026， instead of helping, they gave me a series of very complicated, misleading explanations trying to justify every charge and ultimately blamed everything on me. They refused to refund any of the improper charges. The customer service representative just kept repeating many times: "We are not pay-per-visit, and our charges are valid and correct." That's completely beside the point. Of course, I know you're not pay-per-visit -- if I thought you were, why would I be paying a monthly fee at all? Their "reasons" were outrageous: 1. You must submit a freeze request at least 3 days before the billing date. This requirement was NOT clearly disclosed during the online process. 2. Only my primary account was frozen, not the secondary account. There was NO clear option or instruction online to freeze the secondary account separately. Any reasonable person would assume both are included. You charge me 2-persong together and you freeze us separately? This feels like a deliberate trap to keep charging extra fees. 3. Cancellation requires 30 days' notice. Meaning they will continue charging you for another full month even after you try to leave. This is not customer service -- this is predatory billing disguised as policy. I was so frustrated that I immediately cancelled my membership on the same phone call, but even then, I believe they will still charge me again due to their 30-day rule. In summary be aware: * Hidden rules * Poorly disclosed conditions * Confusing billing structure * Refusal to resolve or refund * Policies designed to maximize charges, not fairness This feels like a system designed to take advantage of customers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I was in the exact same situation with another brand name club. At that time, I was able to temporarily freeze my membership, and later cancel it without any issues. The process was much simple, transparent, and straightforward. I have never encountered problems like the ones I am facing now. This inconsistency is both confusing and frustrating. If you value transparency and fair treatment, Think Twice before JOIN from GoodLife Fitness. There are many other choices out there.
