GoodLife Fitness Calgary Stephen Avenue

One of the fanciest GYM I had been at, golden paint, luxurious stairs, and a big safe, made this place very unique, opened on the old Montreal bank building. Great location, 1 block from train and enough space to train.

Overall not a bad gym. Tight quarters in some areas, including the free weight area which only has up to 75lb dumbbells, and feels quite congested if there’s more than 5 people in that area.Some of the leg machines have been broken for months now which makes it tonight to get a good leg day in, as there’s already very limited squat racks and leg presses.Also the hand dryer in the mens change room has been broken for months, overall just not in a hurry to fix things

As a visitor from Toronto, this gym was an attraction of its own during my visit to Calgary. Apparently this was a converted BMO - still has the original vault and fixtures which made working out here really fun.Especially liked the touch of keeping the 60s vibe on the signage. Only downside was that there wasn’t a ton of new weight equipment (like the padded lifting platforms) in other gyms.I worked out here post vaccine passport so the gym wasn’t busy at all (lol).

Logan - Had a really great experience with Logan! We just arrived from the UK for a few months and Logan was kind enough to tell us about the gym as well as the local area. He told us about activities we could do, landmarks we could visit and most importantly showed us through all the gym equipment and helped us feel really comfortable with the first day in the gym.

[UPDATED!]First of all I love this gym and all my next comments is wishing to see this gym betterNo1. No hack squad machine which I believe it’s important.No2. Dumbbells are up to 75lb!! I believe we need more at least up to 100lbNo.3 shoulder press bench is only one!!Other than that everything this is awesome, the gym is so clean, well arranged all the time, trainees really know what to do.I love it.

TL: DR - good location + hours + staff, worth upgrading to Premium Membership, aesthetically the nicest gym you will ever go to, clean location.

Fancy! One of the most opulent gyms I've ever visited. Excellent location.

Awesome gym with friendly staff. No shortage of equipment and the location is amazing. The interior itself is so unique. Will be sure to visit again when in town.

I had training with a lady named Jennelle for 7 sessions and it was great. She was very nice and patient teaching me what to do. Not only in the gym but also writing down so I could see visually on what a month would look like doing exercises on a weekly basis repeating it.

UPDATE: Manager contacted me directly and apologized for the inconvenience, her empathy towards my situation is commendable, she promised to train her staff to discern better a situation like the one experienced, after explaining the reason why they do not allow not members to use the facilities, she sided with me on this one as me and my mother did not represent any threat to the employees, members or the facilities. Her customer service surpassed my expectations and I'm thankful for her call._____________________________________REPLY TO THE OWNER: if you truly want to find a solution to this, find my membership in your data base with my name and last name as shown here and contact me directly.______________________________________I decided to post a review merely due to an unpleasant incident last night and I will proceed with an honest review of this specific location. Location wise is absolutely central, convenient and very clean gym, I moved from WG +15 and it's definitely an upgrade, really love the heritage look and style, other members are friendly and focus on their workouts, but this specific location has way too many cardio machines, people are constantly lining up for the squat racks, barbell benches and other non cardio equipment, the staff in general are very knowledgeable and ready to help the members but they lack a little touch of humanity, the incident was that my mother needed a washroom urgently and we were rushing to find one (after 7 - 8 pm there are no places to use around the area), so I thought to go to my Home Club (this location) who was a few steps away, and I proceed to politely ask the clerks for help (who btw know me, have seen my face constantly, and I was even having my gym tag on my hand), I begged politely if they would let me scan and let my mom use the toilets for a quick pee, that she needed it urgently, they refused twice even after begging them and stating that she could not hold it anymore, after they refuse access I left incredibly disappointed and very upset; the lack of compassion over the only members bs" it's beyond me
