GoodLife Fitness Calgary Canyon Meadows - Calgary

Hillary and Chris helped me out! Very welcoming and personalbe! Best experience I've ever had signing up at a gym

I just joined GoodLife last week to take Body Attack classes with Carla L and as a beginner to body attack I just want to say how incredible they are. You get such a full body workout that hits the very muscle you have in the body. I remember Carla from another studio and can now see this is what she was meant to teach! She has so much energy she brings to class, you can’t help but feed of it. Here knowledge of how th body should move is spot on, with pointers on how to do each movement and giving us options from beginner to expert so no one will feel left. The way she interacts with members is something you don’t see much of at other gyms. She greeted everyone with a big smile and knew so many by name. You can tell she really wants to see us improve or fitness and her encouragement no matter what you can do is so welcoming. If you are looking to take group classes I without hesitation recommend you take Carla L’s class, you will not regret it. Update: After what happened this morning I felt the need to add to my review. When I came into the studio before class Coach Carla and other gym staff were having a issue with the speaker, music and the mic were not working and nothing they did could get it to work. Instead of what most gyms would do and cancel the class, they got a mini speaker and went with out the mic. Coach Carla looked so upset and stressed when trying to figure it all out, but she just flipped a switch when the class the stared and left it all behind and lead an incredible class! She was so great and adapted to the situation and gave us an incredible workout. She came down on the floor with us and what I find amazing is her voice and instructions were clear, I could hardly say a few choice would out worlds not alone coach a whole class. Yes loud music is great but when something like this happens it shows how much people feed off Coach Carla and each other, no one left and everyone just did their best and made it a class I will never forget “Body Attack unplugged” Great job Coach Carla for making what could have been something bad into such a incredible class, all you had to do was look around at all the smiles to know how everyone thought of the class.

General Manager Gary in particular has always been attentive, fair and helpful every time I’ve dealt with him. I’ve been a member for over 9 years now. Sadly, due to circumstances (mine and GoodLife policies) I must leave my longtime fitness facilitator. Thank you Gary for your professionalism and understanding.

Pros: sauna, multiple convenient locations, good variety of equipment, friendly staff, no more yearly contracts, lifting platforms, womens only, classes. Cons: some of the equipment needs minor parts replaced, old massage chairs that do not perform well, would like to see hours increased, slightly more costly than other gyms. Overall a good gym and I enjoy going! Would give 5 stars if you get Hydro massage chairs ?

This gym is overall good. Lots of space and lots of equipment, though it can get busy. Some renovations are needed. This gym used to be amazing with some very good instructors and trainers. But they seemed to have lost the really good ones during the pandemic (odd exception). Which is a shame because they made this club a standout in Calgary. Having visited multiple clubs, I no longer feel that this club is any better or worse than any other Goodlife in Calgary.

I joined GoodLife almost one year ago, I was excited about joining a new facility. SOME of the staff are very friendly however there is an obvious clique of rude staff members who gossip about members. I encountered a staff member who struck up a conversation with me during a workout by which I made the mistake of mentioning I was considering my daughter joining too… he immediately took my phone number and began texting as to when I would be bringing her in to join. I hadn’t got a chance to return his messages and when I went in for my next workout … literally before I even took my shoes off he rudely told be to put my mask on. No joke. Hadn’t even made my way through the crossing. I couldn’t help but look around only to notice that the majority of people were NOT wearing masks wit the exception of a select few… I did feel somewhat offended from the abrupt aggression he seemed to have towards me. When I brought this up to the lady who happily took my money for myself and my sons membership plus training she blew it off and I thought it was over. Now, conspicuously shortly after this encounter my membership mysteriously ‘canceled’. I’m not kidding. I received a phone call about a week ago asking if I had canceled. I said no. Because I did not cancel. If I canceled I would say yes I did gears why but I DID NOT. Hilary asked me yo come in the following Friday which I completely forgot ( lot going on ) and assumably on my part this was a mistake on their end as I did not cancel my membership. Anyways, came yesterday for a workout where I was greeted and I would go as far to say bullied by two staff members who were rude, sarcastic, snickering at my disbelief my account read inactive. I was told ‘Patrick’ would let me in because he was being ‘nice. Unbelievable. Called in to twice to resolve the issue and was followed by an email stating since I missed Fridays date and my interaction with the staff members I was ‘ not permitted’ in. I have never in all my years been treated so poorly . I am still waiting for a call because I am also paying for my sons membership but I would say, extremely disappointing management and customer service. Never in my life have I been treated so inappropriately by a facility of this magnitude. I read some similar reviews about rude staff poor management. I don’t often take time to write reviews but this has left me do bewildered and confused I just can’t believe they run a company in this fashion. Just WOW.

Been going here for years now and it's a pretty nice place. Spacious, lots of machines and free weights. Can get fairly busy but just important to check how busy it is before going. Would give 5 stars if they had a standing calf raise machine.

I love this gym. Great staff. Helpful, easy going. Doesn’t feel scary to ask for things like an extra towel. Very clean and spacious. Good vibes crowd usually, no one has been pushy or rude. And people are good with masks. Clean locker rooms with great showers and a nice sauna. Went to one work out class- it was awesome. The group class room is huge. I used to live in downtown Toronto so maybe my standards are low but this place feels pretty high end for a goodlife!
