This is becoming one of my favourite GoodLife locations. It's accessible directly from the subway,…read morewhich is a big plus in the colder weather and for the sake of convenience. There's also plenty of parking for commuters and everything is located on one level (unlike the location at 4950 Yonge). The locker rooms are brand new and the club itself only opened recently, so it hasn't yet acquired the musty aroma of some of the other locations (like137 Yonge St). The place is jam-packed after 5 pm on weekdays, but weekends and mornings are not bad at all. I almost never take classes at GoodLife, but if you like Sh'bam, you should check out Steve's Monday class because he is fabulous! I love that all the equipment is on one level and better organized than other locations, so if someone is using something, you can adapt your workout without having to make a big detour. There is also a Starbucks and Tim Hortons right across from the entrance, so you can get plenty caffeinated before you nail your workout. OR you can buy baked goods after your workout, which seems like an even more popular choice.

I ended up joining this gym, and it has been great. Best gym I've ever been apart of.read more

Now on to my trainer Asad: have you ever woken up the morning after an intense workout and thought to yourself "my very existence is causing me pain right now" - but like in a really good way? Yeah that's me after every session with this guy. He kicks my butt in the best way possible. The great thing about him is that he makes working out fun as hell. There hasn't been a single session where we weren't cracking jokes and having a good time. But the BEST thing about him is that he really cares about your goals and he pushes you to be a better version of yourself. I once made the mistake of telling him that my program felt too easy. I have never regretted saying anything so much in my life, because the next day I came in and I was sweating buckets within the first 6 minutes. He's the guy you LOVE to hate. The one you can't wait to swear at under your breath as he's adding more weights to your trap bar, not to ruin your life (as you most likely will be thinking in that moment), but because he knows you can do better. The one that encourages you to push harder and be stronger. The one that makes you go for that last dreadful lunge even as your legs are collapsing under you, because he refuses to let you give up on yourself like that. He's not the trainer you need, he's the trainer you deserve. So he'll kick your ass. Because he knows you can take it. He's a vigilant mentor, a faithful spotter. A great trainer.

This gym is owned by a married couple, Alayna and Jonathan, who are amazing and passionate at what they do. I've never been a keener on working out, but Alayna always keeps me on my toes with the different sets of exercises that I find an hour can easily pass by. She's well-versed also on eating and has a background in dance so there's a number of things I can go to her with if I have any questions. The Bad: None! They've been very accomodating even when I had busy work schedule. Their positive attitude had definitely helped those early morning workouts a lot more pleasant =) The Overall: With a variety of equipment and fun and creative ways of getting my butt into gear, I always look forward to hitting the gym now. Just a 5 minute walk up north from Lawrence station, it is very convenient to get to especially since I prefer to TTC than drive. Revisit: Been going for the last 3 months and will definitely keep going. They also offer 60, 45, or 30 minute sessions so it's flexible for my busy schedule.

Put simply, Alex and his team get results and me life tools needed to succeed - simple, practical and realistic nutrition and fitness tools. Alex matched me up with trainer Joseph Park. Joseph knows his stuff, is a good motivator and coach, and our personalities worked well together. Sometimes I hesitate to recommend services and products, but Housefit is an easy endorsement.

His life is all about client's success and results and he helped me lose significant lbs while I was training with him. I was so impressed with the results and soon my husband, best friend and sister-in-law trained with him with my recommendation - all of them left Alex with happy results. I left Toronto for a new job and I truly miss training with him. He is not only a motivating trainer but also an amazing person. If you're frustrated with continuing failure in weight loss and ready for a life-changing experience, go find Alex and his team!

As soon we walked in, I got a very uncomfortable vibe from the woman who runs the place. It honestly felt like she wanted us to leave, and didn't want the business. She told us that we would have to wait 10 minutes before she would talk to us, and kept peeking out a door to see if we were still there. After 10 minutes she briefly described the classes, but seemed annoyed that we wanted more detail on the classes. We got no tour, and basically a shrug off. It felt like she thought we were not in shape enough for her classes. This was a hoity toity woman, in an up tight gym. I do not recommend this overpriced and snooty gym to anyone!
