| - One of the bigger and I suspect more popular locations. The good news is that they have tonnes of cardio equipment. The bad news is that during prime iron-pumping time (i.e. after work), there's still a subway-line worthy crush of people to use the machines. There are plenty of classes, but I'll be what i am in workouts. A solitary man.
The gym itself is well-maintained and patrolled by hard-bodied trainers young and old, who aggressively push personal training services on you at every opportunity. Management supports this behaviour; they try to hook you up as soon as you sign on. I wouldn't mind checking in occasionally to ensure proper form, or introduce new exercises, but I don't need or want a drill sergeant hovering over me while I struggle through my last set of chest flies.
Change rooms on the other hand, a cramped, overheated and dark. A single bathroom is always dirty, and the showers scare me a little.
Goodlife is all smiles and customer service when you sign your contract, but murderous when you try to end it. It took me two months (non-refunded) to cancel at the end of my year there. For that reason alone, I won't be going back,
