GoodLife Fitness St. Catharines Martindale Women's Only

This is by far the best GoodLife gym I've ever been to. I live in Toronto and have been to about five different locations in downtown here and I've also been to one location in Calgary; in terms of the variety of equipment and workout space, and the quality of amenities and the overall space, this gym just does everything right. It has plenty of squat racks, bench presses, pulley stations and a pretty big space for free-weight lifting. The gym is inside sort of like a warehouse space with a high ceiling, which allows for good ventilation; even in summer, this place is kept at a good temperature and it feels good doing cardio here. The staff there seem friendly enough and they do a great job with the upkeep; both the workout area and the changing room are typically clean, even during busy times. The only complaint i have is that they seem to be keeping the pool closed for awhile; I've been there multiple times over a span of four months and the indoor pool was closed every time. They should at least be transparent about when they expect the pool to reopen with the members. Otherwise, this gym is pretty perfect; I'd be happy to pay a premium to go to a gym at this level of quality where I live. I always look forward to working out here whenever I'm staying in St. Catharines and would happily recommend others to check it out too.

Cindy, Pump & Core Class instructor at St. Catharines' Bunting & Carlton location is spectacular. She is always so positive and encouraging. I love that despite the number of times that she teaches the same class program, she always continues to incorporate reminders. Whether it is about bracing the core or letting you know where you might be feeling a bit of the muscle tension, I always feel as though she cares about client safety and well-being. The best is that, though I don't love to work out, I always feel better about giving it my all thanks to Cindy. Keep up the great work and such positivity. Ryan's Step class is so much fun. He makes you actually look forward to the workout. He is super high energy and makes you want to work hard, give it your all to keep up with him. In his class, you are so busy concentrating on the next step combination that you forget that your heart rate is in cardio peak. He prefaces the next combination with small reminder gestures in advance that ensure that you will never miss a step when changing to a new combination. Thanks for always smiling through the workout. It helps to keep me feeling charged up and working hard!

Great gym and what I like about it the most is how consistently clean its. I also like how weights dumbbells and plates are in their proper spots and not mixed up all over the place. I noticed that staff consistently walking around checking on that on top of the cleaning. This creates a sense of pride to be part of this clean gym so I noticed most people clients put the plates back, clean and etc. Keep up the good work guys This is my new home gym since I recently moved to the area. By far, one of the best 3 Goodlifes I have been to across Canada.

Ryan is the best! He makes attending a BodyJam class that much more inviting. I adore the class but Ryan makes it that much better. He makes sure to personally greet and chat with the participants, motivate us throughout, and entertain us with his amazing energy. Going to class feels like going over to a good friend’s house. Thank you

Cindy’s Group Fitness classes are the best at the gym. She keeps the energy high and is very motivational. She leads by example through her accurate technique to ensure members safety/form. BodyAttack, RPM and Pump/Core are her classes. She is the reason I am back at GoodLife.

Best gym In the Niagara region, their staff is friendly and helpful. They have a women’s only side which i love, gym is always clean. They also offer lots of classes that are fun!

I would like to give a huge shout out to Brandon Code! In the last 5 months I have been preparing for a Bodybuilding competition. It hasn't been easy, Brandon has supported me, made me smile, found my keys and has gone out of his way to help me and guide me through the last few months. His smiling face made the tough days better and I was always guaranteed he would make me smile or laugh. Goodlife is lucky to have him on staff and he is now my forever Friend and favorite GoodLife employee!

This place is awful. Unprofessional management, underpaid and overworked staff, and the quality of the gym equipment is nothing better than you could find in a gym that's half the price and has half the members crowding the weights area, which doesn't even have any dumbbells over 100 lbs. Lol. If you're serious about lifting weights, don't go here.
