I'm neutral at this location because on some days its great, on other its not.

Here is a lists of problems
- Dumbbell weights only go to 75 LBS
- Car parking is only for 2 hours, by the time you get up to the gym and changed and how busy it is all the time, you run the risk of having to pay for parking if you go over by a minute.
- Very snobby clientele which I've caught just treating the gym... more

Pros

If you're an early morning gym goer, it's not too crowded - I never really struggled to get a piece of equipment between 6.30 and 8am

Good location - if you live in LV it's extremely handy

Free Parking - 2 hour free parking underground

Good Classes - enjoyed the variety, the instructors and the timetable. Only criticism is that the classes get way too packed sometimes which meant... more

I was very reluctant to try this GoodLife location as I heard it was always busy and people were very pretentious because of the Liberty Village clientele and staff service was non-existent, but I was happy I gave it a try.

The only reason why I tried this location, I owe to a bodypump instructor from the Richmond/John location who indicated after one class that he taught spinning at this... more

Alternative training types different from those offered at Goodlife Training - NOT WELCOME. Received a professional insult from a trainer whom carried himself as a spokesman for Goodlife Fitness. It was further expressed that the facility was geared more for those and only those who resided in the posh and glamourous region of Liberty Village. Anything from outside that cozy little affluent... more

Way overcrowded with little respect for the members needs in this sense. I have walked out a couple of times as it's a constant scramble to use anything. Not fun !

Horribly packed gym with useless machines all packed too close together to boot. Got a corporate membership through work for only the remainder of the yr-renewal Nov 01 never gonna happen!!!! Been 4 times at diff times of day/night. Walked out 3 of the times unable to train due to a mix of too many ppl/equipment that sucks so in spite of being creative just cannot get my hardcore workout done.... more

PROS: Great location, free parking, tanning beds, child care, good equipment, and good group classes.

CONS: way over crowded, like mentioned in other reviews it's almost like a club scene, with the exception of a few the staff are super stuck up. Scanning your card apparently is a hassle for them, they rarely say hello or goodbye, they walk around like the own the place and you actually have... more

Great gym, while there is one entrance (that i know about) the lay out wraps right around ending in the group exercise room so there is equipment and work out areas all around. There is plenty of natural light coming into the gym and the second set of cardio equipment are right next to and face the windows. The area could have been cleaner, however, which is why I've given a 4/5.

This gym is more like a club where everyone is fashionably dressed and mostly yuppie hipster crowd.

However I do like all the natural light and that everyone is on the same floor, ie changerooms, weights, cardio machines, etc.

It's also 24 hours with free 2 hour parking so that's a major plus.

I tend to avoid this gym as it gets really busy and you get lots of "working-in" with strangers but... more

A good gym. However, some equipment is not maintained or repaired as often as should be, and it is jam packed at peak hours.

I reluctantly joined this gym after my previous one KWF closed down and it was between here or 99 Sudbury.

Okay so like any big chain gym, this place gets busy after 4ish. Like so busy you have to line up to use the running machines and weights and busy changing rooms with used towels all over the place.

If you love this gym (as I do), you can thank George MacPherson for that. Having worked with him before, this guy cares about every detail. With my office 5 mins away, it's ideal for my 1hr tuneout from the world. Great staff and members (many of which are real estate clients of mine now also).

I went to this Goodlife instead of my favourite one at 137 Yonge St. because of all the good reviews. The staff at the front desk were very friendly but I find they are at all Goodlife locations. It was a bit confusing to find the change rooms since you have to walk through the cardio area and past the machines which are located in a glorified hallway. In fact, the whole gym is a glorified... more

I had a tough time deciding the review of this place.

I may be spoilt from past gym experiences. My gym in Halifax was new, all girls, flat screens everywhere, very clean, easy to get to any machine you wanted.

Then in Burlington I go to a whomping big goodlife. Lots of machines and equipment, and its also very clean.

Good life at Liberty, is ok given its location. They do provide validated... more

I love this gym, probably one of the nicest Goodlife facilities out there (and I've probably been to at least 10) But it's a real hit or miss with the reception staff. Some are uber friendly but there is this brunette with bangs that always looks absolutely miserable and annoyed whenever I ask her questions.

The Gym looks much bigger from the outside. Inside it is basically an O-shaped tube with equipment aligned along the way. In the middle are changing areas.
Unacceptable busy during peak hours (5pm - 8pm), especially early in the week. It is impossible to follow a trainings plan. You have to adapt to what is available and still wait at some stations.
Even the free weight area is full most of... more

So I took the plunge and joined a gym. I'm a fluffy guy and I really needed to keep my heart ticking so it was almost a no brainer for me to join. Picked this one because it was down the street from my place. I've been coming here for almost a month and a half, and even though I keep my cool around my friends by pretending that going to the gym is a chore, I absolutely love it here.

This gym is not in my neighbourhood and dropped by last summer on my way to Joe Rockhead's Climbing Gym but I have since been here a few times. Compared to my home gym (GoodLife Eaton Centre North), this one is 5 stars. Layout isn't the best but the facilities and equipment are terrific. Nice aerobics room, great machines with personal tv's plus plasma tv's in the front. The only gripe I would... more

This is part of the natural progression... Food+Drinks+Love of fashion = I Need to go to the gym!

I have a gym in my building but I was intrigued about taking classes.
Right off the bat I was impressed with this club. To put it bluntly it's pretty & convenient:
* Spacious change rooms
* Large open windows overlooking Liberty Village
* Open 24 hours
* Grocery store next door (also 24-hours)

Goodlife Liberty Village is a fairly good gym.

Equipment is in good condition, the locker rooms are kept reasonably clean, wait time for machines/weights is not too bad. The location is great - close to transit, grocery, LCBO, etc.

Most people at the gym tend to be polite (letting you work in on machines). Busy times tend to be early in the week after work and afternoons on the weekend.

I am now a regular at this gym. I moved to it from Fitness One when I got a new job and the corporate deal was really good. I love how you can watch TV while on the cardio machines and there is even a row of elliptical machines and treadmills with their own personal TV on the display unit, this particular row of machines also look out on the rail tracks and the skyline of Toronto, pretty nice!... more

So this is my gym. I've been a member of four different Goodlife's since 2003 and this one is my second favourite of the group. The only one that topped it was an expansive complex in Burlington that took advantage of the fact that it was in Burlington where all retail locations are double the size of anything in Toronto. So that's not really a knock, though as the always iron-pumping Samantha... more

When I first walked into this Goodlife, the 'hallway' concept freaked me out a bit. I was coming from a gym with lots of open rooms, and this gym is totally divided into sections. Still I joined, and dropped a ton of dough on personal training (gah!), and don't regret it one bit.

Despite the bad rap that some big gyms get, the staff here are great. They've got great orientation sessions if you... more

This Liberty Village Goodlife is a pretty decent location. First off, it's huge -- it definitely has more machines than the average location. There are a couple different areas so the traffic is dispersed throughout the location. They also have one or two rooms for group exercise classes -- I haven't been to any at this location yet, but they seem to be pretty packed in the evening hours so I'd... more
