It's a love and hate kind of relationship, me and Goodlife @ Markville. It's a great place but when I used to go (2-3 years ago), it was just so packed. I really hated parking here because I would be competing against shoppers AND the people who work out. It took me so long to find a parking spot that I felt drained before I even entered the gym. It's a little better now because people are heading towards the Goodlife by the Cineplex.
Do I like this location? It's not bad, one being that the classroom is bigger. I like how the layout is wide and no poles are blocking my view of the instructor lols. The equipment is relatively new, and staff are generally friendly. It's honestly a pretty convenient location and my family can wait for me while shopping (though that rarely occurs). This location always has towels, and that's a plus. I hate it when gyms run out of towels because they are "being washed". Dude, I come after work, you must know it's your prime time!
The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because the instructors aren't as skilled as those in downtown. They don't go through the techniques, just completes the session, tries to hype the class, and repeats. I prefer when instructors actually provide feedback on correct postures. Getting hurt in a gym would be the opposite of what I want.
