| - Hey YOU, that's right puny little girly maan.....hear me know und listen to me later. Dis review is going to be tiring und gruelling, BUT if you stick with it and listen to ma words, its going to PUMP you UP!
......(Shakes head), whoa, weird Arnold Schwarzenegger black out, too much protein for this juice monkey. Lets leave the stretching portion of this review alone for a second and get into some cardio to warm up...
I've been a Goodlife member for about 4 years now, and have been using the Aurora location for little over 2 years. It's located on Bayview Ave in Aurora just north of Wellington (in the Cineplex/Sobeys plaza). Its a new-ish location and the staff has done a pretty fair job at maintaining both the equipment and the facilities.
Speaking of the staff, I find the staff here to be #1 in terms of friendly and informative. Any question or concern I have ever had has always been addressed and answered in little to no time and with a smile.
"Pant pant pant pant".... Gasp... Ok, (swallow) so now that we're warmed up were gonna start to hit this review pretty hard with some power sets where we are gonna look at the facilities and the classes.
As I mentioned above the facilities here are really well kept, although my one MAJOR complaint is the small size and related number of facilities/machines available. On a busy night you cannot get a proper work out in as many of the machines are occupied by people who like to "look" like they work out and spend 1/2 their time posing on the machine and flexing in the mirror. Also, many other Goodlife locations offer amenities such as hot yoga or a swimming pool - this location has neither. I feel like in planning this location they didn't plan it out very well at all.
Moving into the classes, Goodlife does offer a full schedule of classes for different people at different levels. I recommend starting with Body Pump, its a great full body work out in under 1 hour and you are sore and tired by the end BUT it teaches you the basic moves and body areas to focus on when you are ready to hit the floor on your own. One note is that I've never been able to take part in a spinning class because again their is a lack of available space for new comers (the regulars have the bikes all booked up).
GRUNNNNNTTTTT----STRAAAIIIINNNNNN----YARRGGGHHHH!!! Great power set, PHEW, well now were just gonna start to cool down now, let me tell you about a few other things this location offers that are kinda cool.
Personal trainers - some are great while others have been not so good, I recommend Dave or Dan, they've been at this location awhile and these two guys are tops in my books
Child care - while there are no little Kris U.'s running around at this time I know that many busy parents take full advantage of the child care centre here - a great service offered so Mom and Dad can stay in shape.
Other - They also have tanning booths, saunas and a pretty decent selection of Protein shakes and drinks for purchase at the front desk.
Well, thanks for working out with me today guys and gals, I think we made some serious progress, but until next time ....
Keep fit and have fun :)
