1 Star - Very Poor Customer Experience I am a Black Card member, and my experience at the Scarborough Golden Mile location has been very disappointing. During one visit, I spent about 30 minutes speaking with staff regarding tanning access. Despite meeting the requirements, I was denied without a clear explanation. This felt like a complete waste of time and very unprofessional. On another visit, I was in the middle of using a machine when staff told me to stop because they wanted to clean it before leaving. I asked to finish my set since all other machines were occupied, but I was told to get off immediately. I could not complete my workout. This shows a lack of respect for members and poor service overall. I am now seriously considering canceling my membership, as the main reason I joined (tanning access) was not provided. I do not recommend this location. read more

"The machines are so close you could literally hear the next person's breathing and the music on their headphones!" Been a member at this gym since Covid. The location is conveniently located next to dollar store and no frills. I could complete my workout and buy groceries at no frills before returning home. There is also ample fee car parking at this Eglington squire mall. The club is also 24x7 with its own entrance accessible any time. The gym also does not feel claustrophobic like the Kennedy Fit4less which was literally a basement converted to a gym. This gym is well ventilated and feels spacious with it's high ceiling. Recently they have upgraded and added almost every equipment you could think of including the staircase machines. There are enough change rooms and locker stalls. The workout equipments are also maintained in good working order. Now for the not so good things. There is no water station, only a vending machine which sells water bottles for like 3$! Recently they upgraded and cornered off an area for the privileged Black members. This caused them to move the machines much closer together for the regular members. The machines are so close you could literally hear the next person's breathing and the music on their headphones! I guess Covid would not approve this change, cause there is a high probability you could be smothered in your neighbors' sweat droplets! Ewww! Did I also tell you the gym gets super crowded on weekday evenings. Yearly fee is running in excess of 240$ and they keep increasing regularly. I detest coming to this gym but there is no better option in this neighborhood. The LA fitness at Eglington and Warden is another big crook. read more

Yet a new Fit4less location! It used to be a GoodLife gym once upon a time. One thing you must keep in mind is that this gym is located in the basement of the building. Thus, chances are you're not going to have much reception. But do you really need to be texting if you're working out? More so on the environment of the gym, some may find that it can be stuffy. However, I find it to be tolerable because it rarely gets crowded.. and I LOVE IT. Less people means more accessible machines, racks etc. The free weights room is a lot colder than the rest of the gym because they crank the air conditioning! (It's much appreciated when you're sweating buckets) If you've been to other Fit4Less gyms you may discover that there isn't any water fountains... THIS LOCATION HAS ONE! In summary, by far my favourite fit4less location because it's never crowded, environment keeps you focused on your workout and the water fountain!! read more

After paying for the 'black card' membership I still can't use the hydro-bed or massage chairs because the gym is unstaffed. I have tried waiting around in the morning but the staff is often not in at 7 am. Today May 9th I was there from 1 pm until 2 pm & again the gym was NOT staffed so I was unable to use the massage chairs read more

Now that most New Year resolutions have faded, I decided to engage myself for the better but with a budgeted plan squarely in place. A recent flyer brought me to this place after I signed up online for a one year basic membership with no contract. The only commitment was a $44 sign up fee and $4.99 every 2 weeks for 26 weeks. That's all! Now, the trade-off is you get no nonsense access to a 24 hour 7 days per week gym; banks of small lockers (..bring you own lock), single change rooms like those found at clothing retailers, no showers, and a community coat & shoes check-in area. No nonsense rate includes classes, cardio and strength equipment usage only. Members signed up for the Black Card Membership get additional privileges; tanning, massage chairs, half priced drinks. This is a $10.99 fee or $6.00 extra over my basic membership. Time to start my workout now... read more

Great gym my only complaint is that staff need to regularly use fresh mop water to mop change room floors. The stench of dirty mop water after the floors have been moped in the change rooms stick to your clothes during and after work out. read more

Terrible gym at Scarborough location inside Bridlewood Mall. inhave been to many different branches of fit4less in different provinces of Canada and this branch is by far the worst of all. Very rude, aggressive and impolite staff. read more

place is dirty, and the air venting system is never on in the place always stinks of body odor .. when they originally started charging the 49.99 for a cleaning fee, i thought it was a joke as no one ever cleans this location, i guess that's why they changed the ( cleaning fee ) to an ( administration fee. ) to stop the complains regarding the dirty location. - GOLDEN MILE PLAZA - i recall going to the East York mall location after work each night late and always seeing cleaners there every night.. the - GOLDEN MILE PLAZA - location going there for years and i have never seen a cleaner there once. i alway use the same machines and for the entire time since day 1 i look at the same white 1 inch piece of cotton thread every night without fail. only reason i continue to go is that it 3 minute drive away . read more

For the price you pay.. it's literally a bang for your buck. It has all the basic equipments you would see at any other gym and it will do just the job to help you with your goals! It can get quite busy sometimes due to the price and times. Early mornings and late nights are the best (not packed) read more

I wouldn't go to this place even of they pay me. Dirtiest place in the city, where is health inspection when you need one ?.The attitude of person working there (male ) is turning people away.He is acting like he hates to work there. This place lost my business for sure , no thank you . read more

This is my backup location. It's perfectly useful for my purposes. It's got the cardio, weight machines, and free weights. Two tanning rooms. No showers, no fountain. Your standard Fit4Less location. I don't care much for the lack of following policies by the staff, though. Often when I get there the door that requires a pass-swipe to gain access is wide-open so anyone who hasn't bought a membership can come on it and take up machines I am paying to use. They almost never check membership cards for tanning (free for higher tier members, additional cost for lower tier clients) again meaning anyone can take up space I am paying for. They could also do with a little more attention to refilling the paper towel dispensers. The door at this location is the worst part. There is only one entrance with a two part door. You swipe. It opens slooowly. You step into a tube. It closes slooowly. You swipe again. The second door opens slooowly. Finally you are in, 30 seconds later, getting dirty looks from the five people waiting on the other side to get out. The Lawrence Square location has two entrances where the doors have handles so you can open at your own speed once you tap the card. They should look into that. read more

Good value for your dollar. Free tanning beds. Newer equipment. But NO WATER FOUNTAIN ?!? Easily the most annoying thing about this gym. read more

Really like this place. It's basic (no showers, sauna, classes, instructors) but what they do have they do really well. All their equipment is brand new and great quality - cardio equipment: they have two types of elliptical machines, stationary and spinning bikes, treadmills, and rowing machines. There are 4 TVs with closed captioning on. There is no headphone connectivity to the TVs. - the 30 minute workout circuit is well apportioned with various machines, 2 additional TVs, elliptical and cycling machines read more

For $10/month, and 24/7 access... how can you go wrong? GoodLife owns Fit4Less I'm pretty sure. I Used to have a membership here... Amazing value. All the equipment is brand new and the staff were friendly and helpful always. It was cool to see them work out as well, made them more approachable and it felt less stuffy than other gyms. Well maybe that's the wrong word to use. In the *literal* sense, the gym was pretty stuffy. One downside is the lack of ventilation there, meaning a musky smell and sticky air all the time. It actually looks and sort of feels like a factory in there. But whatever, you're there to pump some iron and leave. There is SO much equipment to use, and they have a 30min circuit routine for if you're pressed for time but still wanna get a solid workout in. If you're not the type to shower at your gym, then this basic membership is sooooo worth it. I remember for a little extra a month you could also get unlimited tanning and access to massage chairs. But that's a stupid offer, fake tanning is BAD FOR YOU. Oh and if you're a girl just letting you know this gym is about 90% male and some people are ultra weirdos so keep that in mind if you're working out past 11pm read more

Honestly don't wast you time with this gym... if you serious about working out this it not the gym for you just low graded gyms with minimal amount of people to answer a phone call. Plus when you try to cancel after a year of commitment they still try to rip you off for two additional month. I feel better at LA fitnes, please if your seeing this. avoid before they scam you too. read more

I use to work out at Premier Fitness but that business was a debacle that didn't end well, read the review on my page for more details. In my search for a new gym, I was looking for a gym that wasn't too crowded, had all the basic cardio/weight machines along with a decent amount of free weights and didn't cost me an arm and a leg each month. So my friend recommended a place called Fit 4 Less owned by Goodlife Fitness that was only $10/month and open 24/7. I didn't believe him, so I went to check it out for myself. The deal is legitimate, the basic plan is $10/month with a one time $25 joining fee with the option of cancelling anytime as long as you buy out the remainder of the annual fee. Essentially $5 is taken from your bank account every other week. Pros: 1. A fair amount of new cardio and weight machines. Fair amount of free weights with dumbbells ranging from 5-75 pounds. 2. It's open 24/7 but it's only staffed Mon -Fri 7am -10pm and Sat -Sun 11am - 4pm. 3. Really affordable. 4. Not too crowded. 5. Ample parking. 6. Owned by Goodlife Fitness Cons: 1. Open 24/7 but not staffed 24/7. 2. No classes (i.e. spin classes, yoga classes) but that's how they are able to offer such cheap monthly rates. 3. No water fountain and tiny washrooms with no showers. It's really really basic. Essentially the gym is perfect for people who are looking for a good workout and not looking for any extra amenities. read more

The place is somewhat good for the amount of money you spend But I have experienced four major problems at this location. First the place is starting to get packed, you have people coming in groups and taking machines for 30min plus. Next, after 10 pm when the staff leaves, more and more groups of people come at the place lots of them are not even members. It is pretty easy to pass the security door sometimes guys even use the staff entry and ring the alarm. So if your hopes are crushed if you plan to train late to avoid the large croud and have the equipment available. My third issue are the security doors who dont work 3 out 10 times , sometimes you are traped between the security doors and if you come after the staff leave the only thing you can do is praying that the system unlocks. Finally the equipments maintenance is getting worse everyday you will see 3 or more machines out of service everyday. But hey you only pay 10 bucks a month read more

This is as cheap as it gets. You want a gym with minimal costs on a monthly basis. This is it! This is a 24/7 gym located in the Golden Gate plaza which is connected to a giant No Frills location in Scarborough. The closest intersection would be Victoria Park & Eglinton. The gym is very close to the Scarborough LA and is in very close distance to two Goodlife locations (approximately 5km). It serves as a no frills basic gym with cardio equipment and free weights. It's run under the Goodlife banner and the equipment looks to be about the same as a Goodlife facility. Just rebranded under this banner. The two price points are $10/monthly paid upfront on an annual basis + a $25 joining fee (this fee is ridiculous. Akin to a normal gym's admin fee). You can't share your pass with anyone at this level. It's probably better to get a $20 membership and split it with someone close to you. Coworker, Spouse, Friend etc. It's pretty spacious considering the location. Has a wide array of cardio equipment as well as weights. The weight section is considerably smaller but there are enough weights to get a good dumbbell workout in. It can get crowded at times during peak hours (4pm - 8pm M-F) THERE ARE NO WATER FOUNTAINS! Yes, you heard me. This is such a health hazard given that people could be dehydrated from working out. The only water source is from the taps in the bathroom which in and of themselves are tiny. One stall and one urinal in the mens washroom. The staff are friendly enough and do go around checking to make sure the paper towels are well stocked and the gym is in workable order. There are no classes, no private studios and they charge insane prices for water and drinks. Can't complain given the price. The 24/7 aspect is fantastic and allows you to be in control of your gym use. There is a lot of parking given the No Frills and mall in which Fit 4 Less is located. Nobody really puts away their weights here. This is a problem but a lot of gyms have this issue as well. The gym is not the cleanest so definitely bring a towel of your own and drape it across all the equipment. You don't want to catch anything nasty. All in all, you get the Goodlife treatment at Dollar Store prices. Great value. Highly recommend. read more

I use to go to this gym i enjoyed it but the amount of men who would come up to me to flirt was becoming more often that it disturbed my work outs. So now i go to the one in north york centre and it is a good peaceful gym i would recommend this one in eglinton only because it is 5x bigger then the one in north york. read more

Was already an active member. Renewed my membership early in 2020. My wife renewed a couple of weeks before everything closed for covid. Upon reopening the restrictions were/are such that we informed them via e-mail that it wouldn't work for us at all. We pay our memberships in full so we asked for a refund with the intention of rejoining when things were normal again. We were told that their policy was a 30 day waiting period to process refunds. That's fine, we would wait. After way more than 30 days I went to their site to ask if the lack of communication was an indication that they had no intention of offering a refund. The site now has no e-mail access. How convenient. What they do have is a message that says any NEW members would be allowed a refund with the 30 day waiting period but loyal already existing members would be offered no such consideration. Keep in mind I was barely into my year that I paid for and my wife who paid a couple of weeks before it closed didn't even get there once. That's an absolutely disgusting way to do business. So they would rather steal our membership dues for the year and forfeit all future years (because I will never go back now) instead of offering a refund and collecting dues for years to come. Greasy, shady, disgusting, immoral, etc. I will tell as many people as I can about this shady "business". Great marketing. read more

Equipment sucks, I've had squat racks fail on me with weight loaded multiple times. No water fountains. Hardly any equipment, and of the equipment that is available at least 3-4 machines are out of service. Out of service machines remain broken for weeks at a time. Ive been to gyms of the same price with infinitely better service. read more

Lots of space, lots of cardio machines. The place can get crowded in the afternoon. Beat time to go would be early mornings and late evenings. Can't go wrong with $5 bi-weekly. It's a great deal. read more

This gym is great until you have to cancel because of covid 19. They didn't communicate with me that cancellations had been moved from in-person to online. I attempted to cancel online but so far they have charged me twice and I have heard nothing back from the company! I would never recommend this gym to anyone - they steal from you and hide behind their email to do it since there is no way to call their head office! read more

The idea behind this gym is great - bare bones fitness centre at rock bottom price. There are lots of machines, weights and free weights but there aren't change rooms, showers or classes which is fine. The main problem for me is that nobody puts away their free weights and they are left lying around and the weight room is extremely messy. Most times when I go in I feel like I spend a good amount of time putting things away, I can't stand to be around a mess. This is also a safety hazard and the staff members should be putting things away on an hourly basis if they are not going to enforce putting weights back. Also I do not feel like the gym is cleaned very often as there is often piles of empty water bottles on the ground and dust everywhere. The machines are not taken care of very well either. Since this is owned by goodlife I would think that they would like to maintain their fitness centres even if this is a no frills type experience. No water fountain in a gym? I understand they want people to purchase water from them but that is also a safety concern as dehydration can lead to significant issues for people working out. read more

This review is more for their customer service team who are amazing and very helpful! Wish they had an easier way to contact them but I figured it out and got results. Those staffed within the facilities do not have any authorisation to help with anything account related. Not even the managers there so if you need any help, message fit4less through Facebook messenger. It takes long for responses but you get results! Thank you fit4less for caring!! read more

Not good!!! No water fountains! No Showers! Small room 5x5 for change room! Bad air circulation! Imagine lots of people working out and some don't even wear shorts and they don't wipe off their sweat off. You better get ready to go change in toilet stalls since no proper change rooms build!!! Or, go to toilet for drink of water where person before you went for #2 and you use the same nobs to get drink from. I have been going to many gyms for past 25 years and this gym at this location was the worst gym I have been at!!!! You get what you pay for is what Management told me when I talked to them about all these. Not professional at all!!! :( read more

Rude staff and not a kid friendly environment!! Kicked our kids out rudely. Wanted our kids to wait in the mall and not inside at the guest table where we can keep an eye on them. Our kids were not using fit4less facilities but just entering the premises. They have no signs indicating this and it is not in there policy. Talked to corporate and apparently they gave me an interpretation of another policy about who can enter that are not stated in their written policy and told me that WE should go somewhere else. Our Kids are 11 years old and by no means would I let this corporation impose restrictions. Here is their policy. Now I remind you they are not using fit4less they just entered with us their parent/legal guardian. Sending this to the Star next to write my displeasure. A minor is anyone 17 years or younger. A minor can only use Fit4Less as a 4Less member. A minor can only be in the club during staffed hours. For a minor to join Fit4Less they must bring their parent/legal guardian into the club with them to register. A minor cannot purchase a membership online. read more

Fit4less is a leach. My contract had ended 6 months ago and upon checking my bills i noticed they had been charging me past my contract end date. I called them to ask about this and the manager said "we sent you an email asking if you want to continue, and if you do not reply we automatically continue the contract and keep charging you monthly" upon checking my email i had only received the joining notice (believe me I searched for it). When I asked them if there is anything they can do as I havent stepped foot in the gym for several months, they flat out said no. Fit4less is a leach. read more

I'm looking forward to getting a membership at one of their locations this Friday, but I can't seem to figure out whether they have a boxing punching bag or not. ?? read more

Beware of your posessions. I had mine stolen right from the locker. The managment dismiss it as "not our responsibility". No paper, no soap in the washrooms. Machines can be broken for weeks. Really pathetic, espesially the stealing. read more

this company has horrible customer service. i recommend going any where else if you can.

you get what you pay for, cheap equipment that keeps breaking, most of the staff is good but few have are really unhelpful, and that annoying revolving door! read more
