GoodLife Fitness Richmond Hill Bayview and Hwy Seven For Women

My name is Maryrose and I had Nikoo Jamshidi as my personal trainer since November 2022.She is truly amazing and knowledgable in her craft. She has helped me in so many ways: gaining strength, losing weight and having a positive outlook . She has also shown patience and concern for my over all well being( mental ,sleep and nutrition )She has made going to the gym fun by giving me a variety of work outs including boxing which I really wanted to try.Looking forward to more sessions and definitely will recommend her to my family and friends.

Nikoo has been my personal trainer at GoodLife since 2019. When I first came to Nikoo I was significantly overweight. I had never worked out before in my life and was very scared to get started. Nikoo eased me into teaching and helped me sort out my diet. She kept tabs on me and always adjusted both the training and diet to suit my tastes and assess what was working and not. She used her background in psychology to help my health both physically and mentally Nikoo is a phenomenal trainer - a literal magician as I like to say. With her I lost over 20 pounds within 4 months. I felt happier, like someone was vested in me looking and feeling better. I dropped almost 4 dress sizes. She is a five star trainer. However, I am taking a star off and will not be returning to GoodLife because of the bureaucracy rampant with dealing with this organization. Anything you need from them is like pulling teeth and there was a lot of passing the buck when trying to get something resolved. This was especially apparent during the pandemic when they gave me a lot of trouble about putting my personal training on hold. Their policies are restrictive, punitive and of course they have access to your bank account so they can just go ahead and take money out. Given how much you’re paying for personal training, this is excessive and for that reason I have little motivation to come back despite loving my trainer.

The receptionists are very rude. They are constantly talking on their personal phones and never greet people or have eye contact when someone walks in the gym.The personal trainers put their water bottles or iPads on several equipment at the same time to prevent anyone else from using them. Given the fact that this is a small gym, I anticipate some understanding from the trainers.I was using a bench and had to step away for 3 minutes. (I had my bag there) When I came back, one of the personal trainers was using my bench and told me to move to another bench as her client needed the space beside the chair. I found that extremely rude and inconsiderate.I have been to other GoodLife locations and have never seen anything like this.

I've been going to good life for 7 months, i wasnt really good at working out and keeping a good diet I decided to get a personal trainer, nikoo has been helping me constantly to get closer to my goal and ive never had this much progress, im a type of person that quits after 1 week working out but nikoo helped me to have a better relationship with food and lose weight the right way. She's super friendly and fun and it has made me love working out and going to the gym.

Still pretty good if you want to go there to work out by yourself. The atmosphere is not bad either. I had a not so pleasant experience with their PTS program and management when it came to my personal interest and satisfaction.

Management here is not interested in developing this location. Years ago this gym was packed with classes & amazing instructors. Group classes were so much fun esp Zumba. The current schedule is pitiful. Barely any decent evening classes. The one Zumba class is packed (instructor is great tho!) & It becomes a health and safety issue for everyone in the class. They need better management of this club & more variety in classes. What happened to newbody/Zumba/Zumba strong/shabam etc? There used to be so much variety. Cheap cost cutting by GL. Charge outrageous fees but provide fewer classes

I love this GoodLife location because the staff is friendly and it is a very cozy environment. Nikoo is my personal trainer and she is great! She is very knowledgeable, supportive, and accommodating to my needs. I would 100% recommend her :)

I started off a 12-sessions program with Nikoo as my personal trainer.And let me tell you that in this short amount of time, she changed my life. All of Her efforts, determination, her support, and most importantly her compassion made this journey so easier for me! After each session I would feel amazing even though the workouts were tough, but it all felt so good when you see results. She cares deeply about her clients and she’s very careful regarding each workout, to make sure you have no pain or discomfort. I highly recommend that If you want results…then Nikoo is the one!! Thank you Nikoo!!
