When I needed to cancel due to…read morepermanent move to USA and requested a refund, the business promised multiple times to issue it but never followed through, starting September 2025. I had to escalate this to the Ontario Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement (File No. CAS-118402-S3D3H). Only after government intervention did the owner, Chris Mulchinock, agree in writing to send a refund -- but as of 01-21-2026, I still have not received it. See attached screenshots for documentation, including the government case confirmation, and the owner's written commitment to refund. This has been ongoing for months. If you're considering this gym, be aware that getting your money back may be extremely difficult. I will continue the path for the refund, and I will update this review if and when the refund is actually received.

He cares about his students & takes his time to make sure that we are doing it correctly so that we don't waste our time and to ensure that we do not injure ourselves. He is very high energy which feeds off to the rest of us & we feel energy moving through us while doing his Combat & Pump class. Even before entering the group ex class & upon entering the gym, I am always greeted with a friendly and warm smile from Prabhjot! He always makes me feel welcomed, listens to any questions or concerns I have with care and he is just such a nice person to be able to see and interact with the moment I arrive at Goodlife. I love my chats with him! The one small complaint I have is the Recovery Room that has a couple of very good massage chairs in it. That room is always busy and it is very difficult to get access to one of those massage chairs. People don't care and will keep it on repeat even though they can see that others are waiting for the chairs. It would be cool if there can be a scanner attached to it somehow to start the machines based on your membership and can only be scanned a specific number of times within a certain time. I can't speak for any other areas in this location but I do notice that it is an extremely busy location during prime times such as after work.

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!

I definitely got my butt kicked at Unionville Fitness. I was here as part of a Yelp fitness event…read moreand the owner, Shabiha, was so kind to have set out a boot camp routine for us. We were divided into groups of 4 and there were about 4 stations around the gym. We were to do designated exercises at each station for about 30 seconds, then move on to the next station. We would rest for about 30-60 seconds after one circuit and then repeat. We did push-ups, lunges, shoulder presses, bicep curls, burpies, and a whole lot more. I was sweating pretty hard by the end of it. The gym itself isn't very big but it has plenty of equipment. It's brightly lit and very clean. It's not really a place to just drop by and do your own workout. It offers boot camp classes or one-on-one training. I think it's a great place to start if you're easily intimidated at big name gyms. A gentleman was helping Shabiha during the boot camp class and he kept encouraging everyone, and gave awesome pointers on how to modify an exercise to make it easier or harder. I would consider coming back for the boot camp classes.

I thought my LA Fitness membership would get me in. It had never failed me in the USA…read more Unfortunately, LA Fitness memberships doesn't cross borders. As soon as I scanned my barcode, the alarms went off telling David the manager who was there that morning to inform me that my membership was not good at his club. Interestingly, even though my membership was not valid at his club, David was able to look at my membership profile and see that I am a longtime LA Fitness member and was able to allow me to workout at his club. This Markham club was comparable to the Diamond Bar, California club that I normally workout at. LA Fitness considers this club a Premier Plus Club...whatever that means. My regular premiere club and this club were basically the same, except mine in California provides towels for me. It was less fancy than their Signature Club in Irvine, CA, where their headquarters are at. They had treadmills and ellipticals that were equipped with a TV screen for you to watch. They had free weights and machines. Most of the equipment worked, not like at some of the other clubs I've been to. The club seemed clean. Paper towels and sanitizer were available. No towel service at this club. The parking lot was adequate. I was able to find a spot. It's a good LA Fitness gym. I still don't know what a premier plus club is. It sounds good, but, it is no different from a regular premier club in the USA. Thank you David for letting me get my work out in.

To what Mayfair has responded - they are shifting blame towards the members. As this is not an isolated incident; the apparent authority of a membership services employee* and the clubs subsequent failure to take accountability for the loss of their members is extremely disappointing.

To my surprise, during this month of July, Mayfair was almost filled with students and swimming lessons through the day and members' right as a member are severely compromised. When I try to book a lane swimming this morning, there was almost nil openings until after 7 p.m. I think this is a serious breach of membership's rights under a contract for services with the club and someone should start a class action to seek a partial refund of the membership fees. I look forward to responses from members that will echo my grievances.

This isn't my regular gym, I come here about once a week to see my trainer…read more It's a really good facility for serious lifters and gym goers. This gym is definitely constructed more for people who work with free weights, on platforms and in cages, however there is still some other stuff to work with. It's a very nice place, there's a big open space in the main area and a therapeutic corner for clients with injuries and whatnot. There's also a nice waiting area with a view of the gym incase you get there early or your trainer is running behind. The gym itself has a lot of awesome things that I incorporate in my workout, however some of these things my regular gym doesn't have which can be annoying- not many things though just TRX straps and battling ropes- I'm sure there are a few more that I can't think of! This gym does do memberships as well but I believe the majority of the people who come here either see trainers or are a part of classes- they do some pretty awesome looking boot camps. There's also a cardio room with a few treadmills, bikes, ellipticals and a rowing machine, and a straight line track. Oh! and a humungous tire for all you hulks out there. Definitely a good gym, a little randomly located but there are a lot of great trainers working here and it's a great place overall.

Extremely disappointing experience…read more I've been a member for a while, and the overall experience has become extremely disappointing. The gym consistently fails to open on time, despite having advertised operating hours. This has happened repeatedly, sometimes by 15-20 minutes, and it's incredibly frustrating to show up expecting to work out only to find the doors still locked. On top of that, the gym is frequently dirty and poorly maintained. Equipment and common areas often don't feel properly cleaned, which is unacceptable for a facility people are paying a membership fee to use. What makes the situation even worse is the management. Communication has been inconsistent, and the attitude I've received has often come across as rude, dismissive, and inconsiderate. Rather than taking legitimate concerns seriously, issues are often downplayed instead of being addressed. Members are paying for a service and should be able to expect basic things like a gym that opens when it says it will, a clean facility, and professional, respectful management. Unfortunately, this gym has repeatedly fallen short in all three areas. Management needs to take member concerns seriously and actually address these ongoing issues instead of dismissing them.
