I am beyond impressed with this place!…read more I moved to Calgary from Vancouver looking for a gym with flexible hours. This place offers 24hr FITNESS and TANNING. It is staffed during the day and early evenings which means you can make an appointment with a trainer, or have questions answered. Rob, the owner, is AMAZING. He really makes an effort to get to know all of the members, and is incredible at building rapport. ALL business owners could learn from him! Also, the staff is incredible. All very friendly and nonjudgmental, ready to answer questions pertaining to health at anytime. The other patrons of the gym are also very friendly. Ages range from late teens to early 70s- I never feel out of place or uncomfortable. This gym offers a variety of cardio equipment (you NEVER have to wait for a machine), has a weight circuit, a large free weight area, and a mid-size 'studio' area. Also, for those who tan, it offers one tanning bed which is NEW and LARGE. I work shift work and tend to be a night owl, sometimes THE ONLY time I have to get a work out/tan in is at 3am- this place TOTALLY meet my needs. For UNLIMITED tanning and Gym access I pay around $63.00, without the tanning it would be about $18 less- VERY REASONABLE. Also, they offer month to month plans so you don't have to sign a contract if it's not for you. I urge anyone who is considering joining a gym in the SW to stop in and take a look around, if you awesome fitness amenities don't win you over the friendly staff totally will.

Hands down, the friendliest, most caring team of fitness professionals at this location. When…read morethere was an error processing my membership this team came in to make it all right again. Every time you step in to the gym at this location, one of the trainers will greet you. Every single time. They make you feel comfortable and like you belong there. And you'll always be able to speak to at least one trainer during staffed hours. You never have to wait around to speak to someone about a concern or general fitness. If you're looking to join a community made up of competent and caring individuals committed to your health, go here. The morning crowd (both trainers and gym-goers alike) is exceptionally enthusiastic and pumped! Which is helpful at 6am on a Monday morning.

I recently joined this location of GoodLife. The gym itself is decent - solid equipment, enough of…read moreit and they have recently renovated. If you know what you are doing at a gym and have your own plan, this location is probably good for you. There is a lot of parking and its easy to get to. The waste bins are sometimes overflowing despite a lot of people working there but otherwise things are fairly clean. Do not....I repeat....do not....invest in their LifeChanger analysis or personal training. My "LifeChanger" analysis was actually point blank wrong in several spots, which I pointed out and they did nothing to address it. They have a "special scale" that measures body fat, weight and more and it was off by over 10lbs (even against other scales in their change rooms). The report is designed to make you feel negative about your health, regardless of your fitness regime coming in. I think it's a tool they use to further push their personal training. And let's talk about that. I bought a three session intro package. I am not new to working out and I was clear on what I was looking for out of the package. My trainer, while friendly, was clearly being driven by some sort of corporate sale mandate. When I politely declined to purchase more sessions giving my exact reasons as to why, he kept spewing sales pitches at me. To the point of being offensive and discouraging. Basically I wasn't committed to my health unless I spent thousands a year on their packages. Because people aren't successful if they work out on their own? Seriously. I did learn a couple of good exercises from the trainer but it certainly didn't offset the bad feelings and pushiness I encountered. I know it wasn't the trainer - he was just doing what was corporately expected of him. I brought my concerns to GoodLife and was told I'd receive a call. That hasn't happened yet. Fitness is and health important and they way they treated me as a new member makes me sad for people who might be discouraged and disheartened by their tactics and stop trying to better themselves. I can handle a sales pitch - they just need to know when to back off and not affect the existing business relationship

Strangely, there are no reviews for this Goodlife location, and only one review for the city…read more Typically, chain-gyms can attract a lot of attention on review sites. That being said, if you are interested in shopping around for a club, and are considering Goodlife, Google for all the information you can and make an informed decision. I can only review what I have personally experienced. Pros and Cons I'll start with the good: This is a modern location featuring top of the line, new equipment. There is an emphasis on keeping the equipment in top shape, and I've noted this location just replaced all the bikes for its spinning classes. This is a nice touch - many gyms take in the 2nd or 3rd hand gear offloaded from clubs like this one. Some older gear isn't even ergonomically correct, and can lead to serious injury. Example: the old school Smith Machine. Sadly, that equipment typically ends up being used somewhere. Physically, the floor space of this gym is quite large, and includes a daycare, a smoothie bar, and dedicated personal training & women's only sections. During the core hours, fitness class schedules are running pretty much around the clock, with the usual range of strength/cardio/stretching. The gym is not typically that busy in the later evenings, and this location is now open 24 hours a day (Mon-Friday) to further ease the load. That's great for shift-workers or those who want to go for a jog at 2AM (?). Monthly pricing was pretty competitive when I joined, and did play a factor in my decision at the time. Generally speaking, the physical location & space, equipment, and services, all cover my basic requirements. Gym-time isn't a social event for me. I simply want to go work out, then get out. This place serves its purpose. Now the negatives: 1) Contracts. Goodlife still has them. Generically speaking, I have decided that, going forward, I will no longer sign a contract with a gym. Month to month, or prepaying a set period--such as 3 months--works for me. To me, contracts are a pretty questionable requirement. Not everyone's life is 100% consistent year by year. Lost your job? Found a better gym? Need to relocate? If you DO need to break one, you can expect anything from additional fees, to phone calls from a collections agency. That means negative online feedback, and I can't see that being worth it from any gym's perspective. Instead, I would much rather a gym focus entirely on keeping the customer happy from one month to the next, so they never want to leave (unless life dictates it). 2) Second: payment options. I was told I could only do automatic withdrawals from my checking account. Many people do not approve of this practice, so it can be make or break for some. Personally, I have not had any issues, so I'll restrain myself, but it's a topic you can spend some more time Googling on to get up to speed. Its important to understand what early termination means for contracts as well as personal training plans that you agreed to, then bailed out of. 3) Pricing is reasonable, but they would definitely love to sell additional services like personal training/fitness classes. This is where the real margins are. Some gyms will bundle some of these services with your base fees, so ensure you are comparing apples to apples. 4) Finally, the evenings could use more "maintenance staff" at times. In Summary: many physical positives about this place. Contracts and payment methods knock off a couple of stars, but I'd have no issue adding them back on IF these two things were corrected.

After having a wicked time at Bungee Workout for a Yelp event, my friends and I finally managed to…read morebook ourselves in for a full session last night. Man this is SO fun! Not to mention a hell of a workout! The staff is so friendly and welcoming, which is awesome. After signing a waiver, you're given a pair of neoprene long shorts to put on over your clothes for extra padding. Then you enter the room and get harnessed up and attached to a spring on the ceiling. And then the fun begins! You're taught how to take a step back to stretch the Bungee to use more kinetic energy so you can really fly! This is a total full body workout, which is surprising, but there's lots of arm work to go with the leg work. It's really not that hard and you don't need to be terribly coordinated - trust me, if I can do it then so can you! I've never smiled through an entire workout before (actually I've never smiled while working out cuz I'm not someone who works out for fun).

They refused to refund the 418$, even though they confirmed i had canceled April 3rd, and they didn't actually cancel my membership until May 27th. Do not trust this place. They're after your money and couldn't care less about your health and well-being.

Downtown gyms are really horrible. Just let me get that out first. I finally chose Anytime because they ARE NOT/DO NOT HAVE: Absurd prices, crowds, Iinitiation fee, activation fee, towel fee, pushy sales people. What do they have? 24 hr access, towel service, individual shower rooms, awesome trainers that know you by first name, yoga studio with video workouts, tvs, good looking people, and free parking. All downtown. Yes, it's true. Good amount of cardio equipment, and more weights than you can imagine. My gym buddies have also commented that they have more machines than most locations. The shower and bathrooms are also really new and clean, no gross tiles with the weird swampy smells, and rusty metal stuff. and because it's on 1st street, you can grab a bite just about anywhere along this street because you had a great workout and you deserve it! It's been sort of counter productive for me, but I assume I'm the only one with no willpower.

If this gym were not so inconveniently located for those coming from downtown after work, I'd…read moreprobably still be going. I've only tried the CrossFit classes here, but they also offer various martial arts such as Muay Thai and Brazilian Jujitsu. The facility is divided between a very large floor mat sparring area, a full sized fighting octagon, and a functional fitness area for CrossFit (pull up bars, barbell racks, jumping boxes, etc.). The men's "change room" consists of a small semi-closed off cluster of lockers in the main gym area. The women have an actual room. Being located in an industrial park, there is plenty for parking. The CrossFit classes at this location differ from the others I have tried insofar as they tend to be consistently focused on constant high rep, high intensity intuitive exercises (e.g. box jumps, kipping pull ups, push up pyramids, crunches) and a few barbell moves. This is in contrast to some other CrossFits where you can spend a significant portion of a class working on developing a particular "functional" movement like a headstand, barbell combos, or some kettle bell manoeuvre. If you're looking for an efficient calorie burning, stamina building workout class you can dive into without much of a learning curve, try this place.

I'm excited to see my son progress and gain strength and stamina for his future in criminology. My son has taken advantage of their cross/cage fit classes in the morning.
