GoodLife Fitness New Glasgow Aberdeen Shopping Centre - New Glasgow, Nova Scotia

no P.

Decent range and amount of equipment, lots of space, good atmosphere, friendly patrons and helpful staff. Generally clean and maintained well.

Sadly over the years some things have been lost from the membership and never came back: showers and sauna being 24/7 (which is available at some other GoodLife locations even during unstaffed hours); I think there was some... human mess someone made in Truro years ago that seemed to have prompted that policy, but I guess the upside is that the showers and sauna are clean. Sometimes staff leave early as well, which means both are shut off before the expected times.

There used to be group fitness classes included with membership as well which took place with great, local instructors. It was helpful to get into different kinds of exercise when unfamiliar, and they were helpful in adapting to different needs and experience levels.

Given the things lost I'm not sure the current membership offer is worth it vs having had a grandfathered plan. I guess that's on corporate, not this location or its staff- I suspect the other issues relate to corporate pinching pennies despite the gym and its staff performing well.

I am new member. Came in for a brief workout before 8 Saturday no staff on hand normally this would not be a problem however after my workout I discovered that there was no water in the men's showers
Plus there is no staff to ask for an explanation another customer in the change area told me that there's often no water before a certain time of day
This seems rather peculiar but as I cannot get hold of any staff I cannot confirm if this is a fact
After my workout I had to return home to shower as a results this added an extra 45 minutes to my day not a very good experience
However a number of people have said good things about and having only been there a few times I think it is probably an overly good facility

PS Sunday June 29th came in for a workout at 10:00 am still no showers in the men's change area I was able to establish that they do turn the water off in the men's change area when there are no staff on duty this is a little bit biased since there is water available in the women's side all the time be that as it may the fact that it was 10:00 a.m. and there were two staff on duty and still no water is enough that I am done
This was a temporary promotion and I will not be getting a full-time membership
The fact is that this is primarily a woman's facility which is fine unfortunately there don't seem to be any coed or male facilities in New Glasgow
There is a gym over at the public recreation Center that's where I will be going from now on

Good gym for small town. But wifi and cell reception is absolutely horrible. I had to go out to my car just to post this review.

I'm extremely happy with my experience at the Goodlife in New Glasgow. Each time I have gone to this gym, the staff have been friendly, approachable, and helpful. Beyond this, my experience receiving fitness training and guidance from this gym have been amazing. As an arm amputee, I felt limited in my capacity and understanding to safely utilize upper body equipment. Trainers Nathan and Noah have found so many ways for me to adapt much of the equipment, as well as introduced me to a variety of techniques that I can safely do independently with one arm. They are thorough, inclusive, and extremely knowledgeable!

The staff here are very positive and helpful been coming here for years now! Showers are closed on weekends which should be addressed some equipment needs to be updated and repaired the weight section is dominated daily and if you want to feel comfortable and safe you need to go night when its less busy and its not advertised as a safe space which should be pushed for a Co-Ed Gym! Its a great alternative to the wellness center with its 24HR option and women's section. The club is a bit behind in the times

The cleanest gym. Staff are very approachable and friendly. I like working out in the morning not too crowded. The best gym in town!

I’ve had the privilege of training with Nate at GoodLife over the past couple of months and our sessions have completely changed my life for the better! Nate has helped me overcome an old injury both physically and mentally and I am now in a place where I’d never expected to be (and so soon!). I have not only overcome my past injury but I’ve also started building my strength back tenfold. Nate is so incredibly knowledgeable, always a good laugh, and makes every session feel fun and fulfilling. Nate’s programs are catered to suit you, your abilities, needs, and goals, making each session feel like a step forward. I could not recommend Nate and GoodLife more for anyone looking to improve their fitness and health x

I started training with Nathan Fleming at the end of January 2022 and have made an amazing life change and transformation with his guidance. Nathan is very knowledgeable and has addressed all my physical issues and I've reached a fitness level I never thought I could attain at this point in my life. His personality makes my workouts fun and I look forward to each session. I highly recommend anyone looking to change their lifestyle or to increase their athleticism to work with him if they can get on his schedule!
