It's in the…read more'whitby date night' plaza so very busy plaza with people that don't care for the pedestrian crosswalk. Seriously, not one car stopped while I was trying to cross. Even an emergency service vehicle didn't give one fuck about the pedestrian sidewalk. C'mon. The gym is very nice when you step in, the front desk associate was nice and it generally looked like a very well maintained goodlife. They had a huge empty floor full of every machine, a turf, squat racks etc. On the same level, they had a salt water pool with a whirpool AND a outdoor basketball court. Amazing. If you go upstairs, there are more machines, cardio and more power racks! Ugh, a powerlifter's dream. There's also separate rooms for stretching etc. Changeroom is also beautiful and clean. Very well kept etc. For the record, nobody has ever tried to sell me personal training at any goodlife so I never had that problem everyone's complaining about.

After all the closures and reopening of the clubs due to Covid, its hard to keep track of when your…read moremembership ended. So I was finally ready to go back. I called the Whitby Centrum location, dude who answered the phone confirmed in 2021 I had logged in ONCE. I had paid for my membership for the full 12 mths, and he said it was ending at the end of May 2022 but "to call head office and they will extend, since they are doing it all the time bc of Covid" So I called. YA RIGHT. They dont care! They wouldnt do anything to extend my membership, and even acknowledged I only signed in once in 2021 and had paid in full but it was 'my responsibility' to know when my membership was ending. Ok ya, on a regular year I would accept that. But closing opening closing opening over and over over two years, sorry, I - much like others Im sure - lost track! But instead of pressing a few buttons in the system to extend my already paid for membership, head office said no. Ok, so this review does not speak to the people at the actual location. First, my trainer, Sarah G - amazing. I loved going to her. She made my workout fun. She was always sending me emails with nutrition and workout from home tips during Covid. She even went to bat for me and spoke to her manager about the above. Unfortunately, as in most cases, if head office says no, then... I never really dealt with any other staff, there were a few other trainers that Sarah and I would talk to during workouts and they were all friendly and funny. Everyone was really nice. So the location and staff itself - 5 stars. But Goodlife as a whole - not so much.

I hadn't been to any gym in a few years & this is a great one to get back into it. The LUNK alarm is interesting although I don't really see a need for it in this gym it's a pretty laid back environment. I do however think they should install a LURK alarm for people who are sitting on equipment on their phones or just "Lurking" and not really working out. I'm joking mostly but overall it's a good experience

I had a very unpleasant and shocking experience visiting their Whitby location today. I went there…read morewith my husband to switch the primary user's name to my husband. But their staff member was extremely rude in his conversation and said that if we do this switching again he would initiate the investigation into this. We asked why he was saying this as this setting was earlier updated by someone from their staff and we don't have any such access to their application. He was not trying to understand this whether it was the application issue or the staff's. Another member told us not to use the gym after the conversation. We have made all the payments and not sure why we were not allowed to use the gym and so rude treatment was given to their customers. I haven't found any Customer Care also for the customer grievances. Anyhow we will cancel our registration and I advise all the existing or future customers to be cautious as, if this can happen to us, this could happen to anyone else.

The staff at this location are so friendly and knowledgeable. They offer advice with no pressure to sign up for personal training sessions. All the regulars are also super friendly. One star penalty for the men's bathroom not being as clean as it should be. Also sometimes the hot tub is down, but lately it's been good. I highly recommend this location. Bonus is there is a farmboy next door to pick up healthy food afterwards.

It's alright. They…read moredo not put in much effort to ensure that people are wiping down their machines after use. I see so many people walk away without cleaning anything. I feel like a loser when I walk in and clean the machines/mats before and after my workout for this reason. It also wastes a lot of my time, personally. The music is awful. They have this equipment in the centre of the main floor reserved for personal training sessions. You can use the equipment, but if a session comes to push you out, that's totally fair - I understand that part. It's rarely used, anyway, though. My other thoughts, personally - if I was signing up for personal training, I would not want to be on display there in the centre of the room. Showers are absolutely terrible, if you want to keep any items dry - you cannot. Every single shower will spray onto the outside of the shower, so it's always wet. The floor is always slippery, water pressure is very scattered and aggressive. No shelving in the showers - they are awful. The pool, sauna, and hot-tub are rather fantastic, I will say. Hot tub and pool are closed on Monday so a third party company can come clean them. I like that they do that. There are no classes after 11am on Sundays. No classes at all on weekdays after 7pm. This gym could very well be 24 hours, and it's not. There are a few broken machines. The free weights are a stinky jungle after 6pm on any day - not even just weekdays. Weekend hours are only until 8pm. Overall, it's a good gym. There is plenty room for improvement. Oh the juice bar just re-opened after a 3 year hiatus! Expensive, so I haven't tried it - but it looks like a very promising menu.

I'm going to assume you know about CrossFit when I write this review. If you don't visit,…read morewww.crossfit.com. CrossFit Oshawa is run by Kevin and Cam, who are the primary instructors/coaches. I joined in August 2012 not knowing a thing about CrossFit. Its January 2013 and I am down 25lbs, my waist went from a 40 to a 33, and I need to have all my suits tailored to fit me...and I feel fit, alive and healthy for the first time in a long while. The Box is well equipped and the coaches understand and enforce CrossFit principles. Lots of friendly people and generally a great vibe. Very welcoming and while CrossFit to the uninitiated is intimidating, I feel this Box is a place that could help you move past. They've grown in size over the last few years and expanded their facility. If you are obese (I mean that in literal BMI terms) ask Cam or Kevin to work with you through an onboarding program. You dont want to get injured and some of the stuff can be taxing, so onboarding may be right for you. No showers or change rooms. Mens and ladies washroom, so you can change there. Lockers for longtime members...I believe there is a waiting list. Limited parking near door on busy days, but the lot is sizable so really not an issue.

This was retro fitted from the old Premier Fitness which went under. So I was happy to be back in…read morethe new digs. It's all that you would want. Lots of equipment, I mean lots so your not stuck waiting to get on something, which is a HUGE plus for me and others alike I'm sure. You don't see the staff around much which is good and bad if you are new, good cause no one is pressuring you on sales or getting you into a personal trainer, bad cause I have seen on a couple of occasions new people showing up to the desk with no one to greet them and left standing there for 5 or so minutes if not longer. The only downside I'd say is the pool. It feels it's saturated with Chlorine, I mean more then most. I'm swimming and I already feel dry in the water! lol But there is no taking away the great gym it is. Clean, lots of equipment, and thankfully it's nice and low light upstairs, I hate the blaring bright lights of gyms lately, they make you feel your in a big cubicle and I end up wearing my shades indoors. It's not a fashion statement, I just don't like feeling i'm on display! But this gym does what others should. This will always be my gym.

Beware: Ongoing Billing Scam…read more I signed up at Ultimate Fitness in Bowmanville about 3-4 years ago, and it's been a nightmare trying to cancel. I've called over 15 times over the years to shut down my membership, and each time I was told it was canceled. Yet, the payments kept coming out every two weeks. I even had to switch banks and consider legal action because they continued charging me -- even going as far as changing the name of the charge to avoid detection. This place is a scam. If you sort the reviews from lowest to highest on Google, you'll see I'm not alone -- hundreds of people have experienced the same shady billing tactics. Meanwhile, they bury the truth under a flood of suspicious 5-star reviews. It's obvious damage control. I personally know a couple lawyers now involved with this situation. Do your research before you sign up. This gym is not worth the stress, the money, or the dishonesty.
