GoodLife Fitness Burnaby Metrotown

If you are looking for the gym with full facilities and large, it’s the right place for you. I like that they have general sections and women section. The location is great, only 5 minutes to Metrotown. I like coming here.+++++++However, it’s my personal problem that I met. I used the personal training. I selected 1-year contract and in that time the PT told me that it’s only $500 cancellation fee. Then something came up with me during the covid, I had to cancel but I needed to pay $1163. I feel unfair to pay the full price because I was deceived about the cancellation fee. Then I still have 4 sessions left for the personal training.After I cancelled the personal training, the personal trainer NEVER reply to me as before. I don’t want to waste my money, as I have 4 sessions left I want to be training. I feel so upset.Overall: I like the facility of this gym, but it’s very poor management. I feel so disappointed even though I like the gym so much, I will cancel my membership after clearing this problem.I want to warn you to DO NOT USE the personal training otherwise you may face a problem like me.

I had a great experience with a trainer here. Trainer asked for my workout goal and time frame, constructed a solid work out routine, along with many knowledgeable fitness tips during the sessions. Trainer does not waste time on any routines that I do not prefer. Each workout session was great, fun and fried from him pushing the max out of me.Really recommend Joseph the trainer here. Solid guy.Gym itself is great. Lots of facilities. But may get crowded during rush hours.

On paper this should be a very good gym. Good location, large space, and nice staff. But it’s the placement of equipment paired with the shortage of equipment to match the volume of customers. This is a busy gym, and they waste so much space. 1/3 of the gym is filled with cardio equipment which is barely used. A very small free weight section. A large personal trainer section which is barely utilized, with a lot of that equipment being desperately needed by all the people going. The personal training area has too many squat racks, with not enough for everyone else. There is a large transition area towards a female only area. The transition has a few pieces of equipment for stretching and that’s about it. It could have been used for more free weight area, which again is very needed. Would not recommend this gym in its current state. There are better GoodLife’s.

Honestly great gym, good environment, great community.Management is a problem. The facilities maintenance is lacking and slow. The glute bridge machine was out for 2 months, they could easily fit 2 there in case it goes down. But worst is that they only have 1 hack squat and it's been out of commission for 3 months going on 4. Again they can fit 2 of these in case one goes down.I hope they're saving to buy 2 new ones, everyone in the gym is displeased with this.I'll happily change my review if the facility was taken care of better

If you like crazy busy gyms and stalking people for their machines, then this is the gym for you. I stay at the Element hotel every month for work and I use this Goodlife because it's conveniently in the same building. I wish the drop in fee wasn't so much, but I was given some free entries, so I can't complain. I like the staff and lots of fit people.

Location is the king here. The machines are in good conditions.More number of sanitisation stations are required. Sauna has been in maintenance for a quite a long time. Better the authority close it. The gym could have been planned in a better way, to accommodate more stretching and free body workout area. Gym looks pretty full in busy hours, even without using all the corners of the facility.

Convenient location and friendly staff. I’ve been coming here for years. My qualm is the club is very very busy, especially in the evenings. Early mornings and super late nights are not too bad. When it’s busy, you have to wait a while to use machines, and most people hog them while on their phones not budging for 20 minutes at a time. Good luck ever doing bench press (I’ve removed it from my chest day because it’s impossible to get on one). They need to set time limits on machine use and make some sort of no cellphone policy while you’re using the machine because people will text and instagram for half an hour while there’s a line up to use a machine. Not cool. Either that or add equipment that’s always in short supply. The Edmonton goodlife’s are way bigger so even when it’s busy you don’t have to wait.
