GoodLife Fitness Halifax Barrington Place

I have been to four GoodLife gyms in the HRM now, and Barrington is by far the best of them.Firstly, it is the cleanest and most organized. The male locker room and gym itself is always clean. Staff are always doing their best to keep that way. If the paper towel dispensers are finished, staff are quick to refill them, if towels are left behind by patrons, staff clean it up in no time. Staff also make sure weights are not unevenly distributed between machines. One staff even polishes the nooks and crannies between dumbbells!Lastly, the staff are the friendliest. From day one and beyond they have made me feel like I am welcome. Special shoutouts to Nyun, Abby, and Emma. Y’all the goats.

Despite being in the basement and attached to a hotel, it’s a good gym and I usually find a free bench or squat rack most of the time. In fact, it’s ultra-convenient because the hotel doesn’t have a very good gym.

These guys have been absolutely amazing to us.Liam, the young man working the front desk has been such a blessing to our family unit.We were affected by the flood and have no proper cleaning water still, and he's been our main go to Ina time of need.We essentially just need to be able to shower and get clean, and he's been so helpful in allowing us to use the showers and stay clean.It's people like this that give me more hope in humanity...We do intend on getting setup with a membership soon, but it's just been a tough spot for us at the moment, but we are eternally grateful for the kindness that has been shown at this facility..It's clean and the staff have been absolutely amazing.They deserve recognition for their kindness.To the management there.Please make sure that man gets some sort of recognition or raise.Something.He's made your facility look morally amazing, and it's only drawn us into wanting to participate further and jump on board with them.Thank you for all the great things you've done for us!!

After they decided to get rid of the free range chest machine I decided that gym no longer slaps and I’m joining the ymca until they rectify this.

The machines are all squished together due to its small floor plan. Always have to wait for machines and weights. Opens late and closes early

Decent gym overall, equipments are relatively new. However the operating hour is one of the worst I have seen from Goodlife fitness.

Hidden gem downtown. Small, but never busy, and free of the posers and socializers who dominate the other locations nearby. Bright because of the windows overlooking NSCAD, and sometime enjoyably distracting people-watching out the windows when grinding away on a bike or treadmill. Very helpful staff.

Very friendly staff, A large clean gym with everything that you need

After years of attending this gym it just gets progressively worse. No tanning anymore, reduced hours about 20% from pre-pandemic. Rearrangement appears to have lost out on equipment. At least add a hack squat? I think it’s time to look elsewhere.
