Goodlife Health Clubs West End

Had high hopes for this gym, but so far it seems worse than other gyms in the area. Missing a lot of essential machines and even basic equipment such as exercise balls and a close grip handle. There's only one set of fixed weight barbells which is under a TV and next to mirrors. I have to duck under the TV and squeeze between the rack and mirror just to get one. It would be nice if there was another rack of barbells at the other end of the gym.

Overall a nice gym but it lacks fundamental equipment in the weights area. For instance there is no cable lat pull down machine. I do at least 3 different exercises on the lat pull down and there is no substitution machine for the cable lat pull down machine. And there's no cable row machine either. Again I do at least 3 different exercises on the row but there is no suitable replacement machine. So that's around a quarter of my work out that I can't do there. There's no safety pins on the squat racks so I'm only working out at 80% capacity and there's no easy way to get my heavy plates on and off my bar when I'm deadlifting because they don't have the right devices. There's only 3 benches in the weights area. I'm glad I get there at 3pm because by 4pm the weights area starts to get really busy. It makes you wonder whether the person that designed the gym has actually ever used one.

It's moderately busy but has sufficient equipment.nThe two main negatives for me are:n1. No saunan2. Poor layout of cardio/weight equipment (easy fix though)nPositivesn1. Great parkingn2. Next to harries farmsn3. Cheap membership

So excited to have my gym and Pilates all in the same place at a very cost effective price. The space has a beautiful feel which definitely helps motivate me! And the Team is Amazing!! Great Job Goodlife!!

This gym is well equipped. Since I sign in it, I come here almost every day after work. But today I forgot to bring my towel, when the staff came to ask me, I did a apology. I already feel very sorry about that. However the staff is very rude, and told me if I do not bring the towel next time, she will cancel my account. As a customer, this makes me feel very unpleasant. I don’t need to be threatened, I will cancel my account by myself.
