GoodLife Fitness Winnipeg St James and Sargent Women's Only

Could have informed or sent an email to every member if they will renew membership or not. And explained it better during the membership process. And cancellation does not effect right away they still charge you.

The attendant turned off the lights on the far end of the gym while I was still there. This happened today at 850 pm. They close at 9pm. I think that's rude. I've been going to this gym for a number of years now and there were times that I'd finished my work out close to the time it closes but nobody has ever done that to me before. Otherwise I'd give it a 3.5 star rating.

Received a call last week from them because apparently someone put my name down as a referral. They caught me at a time where I was actually interested so I set up a time to meet with them today, which I had to post-pone for a few hours since I had to work. They said they would contact me about it. They didn't. So I called them again a couple times, each time they said the person I was supposed to meet would call me back soon. They didn't. Then I find out it's a women only gym. My name is not one of those universal names, and I do not sound like a girl (as far as I'm aware). So, I don't know why they would reach out to me in the first place or bother setting up a meeting time if I'm obviously a guy. Also, if I don't fit the requirements, they could at least just let me know, instead of making me wait a while before I found out on my own this was a women only gym.

My wife started going to this location and loved the women only feature. In the first 6 months she went religiously and got great results, she looked and felt great about herself. Her mother got sick overseas and had to go be with her for 3 months. She was told there was an option for suspending her membership while away. When she got back she found her automatic bank charges had resumed. She attempted contacting and communicating with the office about the matter and was told her circumstances didn’t warrant the suspension of her membership because she wasn’t a member there long enough. She asked for an extension of 3 months after her year contract and was denied. Because of this technicality and the circumstances with her mother, she lost interest in going. My wife wanted to resume her membership for the following year and I adamantly said no and bought her a home gym that we’ve been adding different equipment to as time goes by. Now we both work out, look and feel great without having to leave our home. When we are finished working out our shower towel change of clothes are always conveniently here. Ya, I spent 3 grand on equipment but it’s mine forever and I don’t have to feel stressed about missing a work out, going on vacation or missing months due to any kind of emergency and PAYING MEMBERSHIP FEES FOR NOTHING!!! MONEY FOR NOTHING (what kind of heartless business model is this world coming to) You’d have to be stupid to accept these terms. I recommend getting your own exercise equipment for the winter months and get out into the great outdoors for fresh air and good old style exercising like sit ups, pushups, pull ups, jogging, walking etc... Don’t waste your money, save it for the days when your gonna need it and just use your common sense Feeling good never felt so good when you do it for yourself.

I really enjoyed this gym, I lived just down Sargent and walked here daily! Lost 60lbs with the help of the ladies, workout classes, and equipment. I've recently moved closer to Centennial so I'll be switching gyms. Sad to leave :( thank you for the great atmosphere
