GoodLife Fitness Edmonton West Granville

The only real positives about this gym are the incredible staff and the cleanliness. The staff are friendly and professional, and the facility is well-kept. Unfortunately, that’s where the good ends.nnThe equipment selection is extremely limited, and the layout is one of the worst I’ve ever seen in a gym. It feels like the design was based on cutting costs rather than creating a functional space for people to actually work out. Machines and weights are crammed into awkward spots, leaving almost no flow or usability.nnOn top of that, the place is constantly packed, no matter what time of day you go even 10pm. With so few pieces of equipment, you’ll end up standing around waiting far more than you’ll actually be working out. It gets frustrating very quickly and makes the gym feel more like a stressful chore than a place to train.nnOverall, it feels like a “budget first, functionality last” type of gym. If you’re serious about training or value your time, I’d recommend looking elsewhere.

If I could give 4.5 stars, I definitely would. GoodLife Granville is a great gym overall — clean space, solid atmosphere, and a wide range of equipment. The staff are friendly and dope, which makes the environment even better. The only real issue is equipment availability during peak hours. It can take a while to get on certain machines, but if you go around 11 AM–1 PM, it’s much better. One small thing I wish they added is an incline plate-loaded chest press — that would be a great addition to round out the equipment selection. Overall, really solid gym and definitely worth training here.

Nice gym. Clean equipment. My only issue isn't with the gym itself, it just stays busy. Even if you arrive early in the morning, you're going to have to wait to use different machines.

I started training with Eric 2 years ago when I was ~154 lbs, inactive, and constantly dealing with back pain from mild scoliosis and sitting too much. I’ve never stuck to workouts for more than a month before, and this is the longest I’ve ever consistently trained. I was supposed to train with a different trainer but ended up with Eric, and I’m so glad I did.nnEric isn’t your regular trainer — he explains everything clearly, makes workouts enjoyable, and honestly feels more like a friend who keeps you motivated. Results came gradually my pace, not his, and now I’m just a few pounds from my goal weight. More importantly, I have more energy, less pain, and even started running for fun something I never thought I’d say! My clothes fitting better is just the cherry on top. The real win is feeling stronger, healthier, and more active.nnThank you, Eric! 100% would recommend him to anyone wanting to make a lifestyle change.

Great location, good equipment, nice staff. This gym does get very busy. There's a few pieces of equipment that this gym has one of that are always taken while other equipment is rarely used. Specifically, there is only one chest fly machine and only one close cable set. Additionally, there are only 2 regular bench press stations. I understand that space is at a premium at this location, but it feels like the upstairs space is poorly planned out. Equipment upstairs is rarely used, and there would be plenty of room to replace it with another bench press, cable station, chest fly, power rack and maybe even a few benches with dumbells. All in all a pretty good gym but could be better with more of the frequently used equipment which would also help it feel less busy.
