GoodLife Fitness Edmonton Brewery District

Nice gym. The hot yoga class with Allison was the worst class in my life! She was late and ranted for the first 10 minutes, she grabbed me forcefully a few times without asking first, the one time I almost fell over because I wasn’t expecting her to carry my hips(?). She was strict, it wasn’t relaxing at all.On the other hand, Samantha has the most enjoyable hot yoga classes! She’s always well prepared, on time, smiling and welcoming.

The lack of 24 hour service Friday to Sunday is infuriating. Please make this location 24 hours every night (especially weekends, when many people can work out later because they don't have work the next day). It's packed here during peak hours; the least that could be done is offering 24 hours every day for people trying to avoid that.

The facility is great for space, number of machines, members. But management can improve. Management is reactive to equipment damage/repairs and facility upkeep. Machines are not serviced regularly.Management waits until equipment is broken, then have to wait weeks at times months to get repaired and back operational.One example is Steam room, the steam room has been broken" before Covid shut down. Its still not operational. Management has know this for 2.5 years. But there is sign stating its not operating due to Social Distance requirements. I asked the staff numerous times when it will be operational

Just joined and Michael was so helpful! Made sure I got what I wanted and took the time to fully understand my goals. I feel welcome and excited to start my work out journey. Definitely the best welcome I have gotten from any gym.

Great Gym, Great Service! However the young ladies that work here are just terrible to communicate with when needing a towel, always busy socializing and will literally give you attitude whenever I go up to request towels after a hard workout! The Gentlemen there are the best and always very welcoming and helpful!

I have been a member at Good Life for 4+ years now, and I just recently moved downtown, so this is my new go-to location. Unfortunately, I am very disappointed with this facility. The space is beautiful and overall, the facility had everything to be the best in town. However, because the staff is super cold and unwelcoming, this is the worst location in the city!When I arrive, they don't ever say hello, or even make eye contact. I have been coming here for 6 months already, and the only time I was greeted was by the manager. The front staff spends most of their time talking to each other, sitting at the desk by the woman's changing room. I really do not understand why they are there.But what drove me to write a review after so long was the yoga instructor Allison! She is definitely EXTREMELY knowledgeable about yoga. However, teaching requires much more than simply knowing what to do or being an expert in the subject! I have recently upgraded my membership to engage in the classes that good life has to offer, and yoga has been something that I really wanted to get into for the longest time. My first class was with Alexander, which was SUPER wonderful (he deserves 1000000 starts). He engages with the class in a super non-judgemental way and recognizes that each individual there is at a different level of their practice. He corrected me in such a caring and delicate way and made me feel super welcomed. I am grateful to have such an amazing instructor.However, when I went to Allison's class, I had the WORST experience of my life. Goodlife fitness always promotes a welcoming environment for all types of bodies and all types of fitness levels. But this instructor, in particular, does NOT promote the goal of the company.I felt so constrained and disappointed with her class to the point where I am hesitant to cancel my membership. She screams and corrects people in such a shameful way. During her class, she only talked. She did not guide the class by showing us how to execute the poses. As a beginner, I had to rely on the person beside me to understand what to do. She even brought up language barriers. How she could speak another language if someone did not understand what she was saying. But simply telling people what to do when they're not experienced is not enough!It is the same thing as taking in a sedentary individual and telling them to go do a Sotts Press. For someone advanced, that might be super easy, but for the beginner, it might be challenging to understand what that is, even though they might understand what it is. It is still extremely important to know the proper format. Otherwise, an injury can happen!Allison is super RUDE! and to make up for that, at the end of her class, she says, If you guys don't like discipline

I've taken a lot of classes with Alex, and I've always loved them!Recently, I attended Allison's class (and it was a nightmare!!!). I suppose I could say that I feel pretty at ease doing hot yoga.However, I had the worst hot yoga experience with Allison.Allison used a tone of voice that was quite nasty and condescending while guiding the class. She instructed others verbally without modelling the desired stance. And would then correct those who were doing it incorrectly by screaming or shaming them.There was no music and she spoke the entire time. Instead of making me feel welcome, she made me feel foolish for not performing the positions properly. She touched me without ever asking my permission, which was quite unnerving. It was a very boring, uncomfortable and very wired class!. I would honestly give 0 stars for her class if I could!.

This is a good location and the windows all around definitely give the location life, especially in the summer. Nice open layout with a good amount of equipment. This is definitely the “socialite” location as you’re definitely gonna see members more focused on their outfit/appearance and getting the right lighting when they set their tripod up, to make a tiktok about the importance of fitness and how there are no shortcuts in the gym, followed closely by a trip to the change room for an injection they refuse to admit they took. The free underground parking is fantastic in the winter.

I have taken yoga classes for 5 years and enjoy taking classes regularly at this location. I attended a yoga class with an instructor by the name of Allison this week and found my experience to be extremely uncomfortable.Allison did not lead a proper warm up, called me out in front of everyone when I chose an easier modification to a pose, did not ask for consent before touching me or adjusting my poses, and all around made me feel judged and inferior. When I chose a more advanced option to posture she scolded me and made me feel embarrassed for challenging myself. All around, would not recommend this instructor.The gym however, is incredible. Management is of highest quality and I do enjoy taking yoga classes at this location with other instructors.
