Frequently asked questions.
We are committed to making each and every visit to one of our clubs comfortable
and stress free.
Today, more than seventy percent of our members are women and seniors who want nothing
more than to work out privately, at their own speed, wherever and whenever they
choose. We have created a comfortable environment so they can focus on being happy
and fit.
Still not convinced GoodLife is for you?
Let us put your mind at ease:
I’m uncomfortable exercising with men around.
Many of our locations are women only locations so that our women members can feel
totally comfortable exercising.
Many of our coed locations also have a women only section in them.
Many female members who felt the same way as you when they started found that once
they actually worked out, there was nothing to be intimidated by or uncomfortable
about, because everyone was there for the same reason - health and wellness.

I don’t know anyone at the club.
Our Customer Service Representatives are there to serve you. Whether it’s
giving a smile and a hello, a pat on the back for coming in and working out or a
daily chuckle, they enjoy getting to know our members.
Many members have found that our GROUP EXercise classes are a great way to meet
other members. Exercising with a group is all about being a part of something special
and having a sense of belonging. When you feel you belong, you feel energized and
good about yourself and others. Eighty percent of our members can’t be wrong!
When you do your first Fit Fix Orientation, you’ll do it with five or six
other new members. This is a great way to meet others who are starting off just
like you.

I feel that everyone is fitter than I am – I can’t work out here.
What you may not realize at first glance is that the person you see on the treadmill
who looks fit may have been working very long and hard to get to their present fitness
level. They may have lost 50 pounds. Instead of looking at the members
around you as intimidating, look at them as inspirational.

I’m much older or younger than a “typical” member.
You may not have age in common with other members, but one thing you do have in
common with every single member is your interest in personal fitness, which is much
more important than a number. We welcome members of all ages. Diversity is a beautiful
thing.

I’ve never exercised at a club before and I don’t know where/how to
begin.
That’s what we’re here for. At GoodLife we make it easy for you to get
started. We’ll set you up for success right off the bat.

Health risks – I don’t think I can work out safely in a club because
of my health.
Sometimes exercise is the best medicine. If you have health risks, we recommend
that you work with a Personal Trainer, who will design a custom exercise program
that is specific to your personal health risks and fitness goals. They will work
with you one-on-one to give you the care, attention, guidance and motivation you
need to exercise safely and effectively.

I don’t have the time to attend a gym
Our Fit Fix Circuit is perfect for members with very busy schedules. With just three
30-minute sessions a week, you will be able to take care of your cardiovascular
fitness, strength, flexibility, stress reduction, weight control and overall general
health. Most clubs are open seven days a week to fit into your schedule. Some clubs
are even open 24 hours a day. We also offer child-minding services to help
you achieve your goals.

Joining a club is too expensive
This is a myth. Actually, our memberships work out to be about the same price of
a cup of coffee a day. A Membership Coordinator will be happy to speak with you
to discuss our different membership options.

I really don’t know if I want to join a club/switch clubs right now.
The best way to find out is by taking advantage of our "no-strings-attached"
Free Trial Membership. This way you get to experience
all of the great services we offer and make a more informed decision.

I’ve never attended a GROUP EXercise class and don’t know which one
to try.
Just ask an Associate and they’ll be more than happy to recommend a class
for you based on your fitness goals, or click here
for class descriptions and information on getting started.
BodyPump, BodyFlow and Newbody are great classes for members who would like to experience
our world-class GROUP EXercise classes for the first time.
All of our classes are multi-level so both beginners and experienced exercisers
can enjoy the same classes.

I’m not sure what to wear and bring to the club.
Wear comfortable, breathable fabrics such as cotton. Many members prefer cotton
shorts or pants, and a cotton t-shirt. There are also many breathable fabrics designed
specifically for exercise (available in our GoodLife pro shop or at our online store).
Wear comfortable running or cross-training shoes with good support. We recommend
that you always bring a lock, water bottle, sweat towel and headphones. Our change
rooms are fully equipped so you’re more than welcome to bring a change of
clothes and products to get ready right at the club. Towel service is available
as an add-on service at many of our clubs.
