Goodlife Health Clubs Carindale — Local services in Brisbane City

I do not appreciate the fact that staff at this gym use the facilities to film content for their own social media. I was just trying to do my workout on the 24/08 (around 0800) when I saw one of the female PT's was setting up a phone on a tripod. This PT also seemed to require another PT who is trans to 'spot' her with a feeble weight to do seated shoulder press. Goodlife has enough posters around stating that video and pictures in the gym are prohibited. However, when you want to film content for your Instagram or OnlyF that rule seems to not exist. If your PT's want to film themselves in underwear using gym equipment, they should use their own gyms. Not the equipment of their employer and get in the way of patrons who are trying to use their membership.

I am consistently tired of the adolescent boys and girls who just come to 'hang out' at the gym during peak hours. They take up space, do nothing other than consume oxygen and make the gym appear to be a school playground. Additionally, of a weekend, after hours, these same adolescents let all their friends into the gym through the after hours exit. I hate the fact the men's change room is generally pretty disgusting with its smells and has no ventilation going on in there. You cross a wall of odour and have to inhale the scents of dozen's of 15 yr old guys whose definition of a shower is a spray can of Lynx.

The equipment, especially the pin loaded stuff is old and poorly maintained. Almost no-one unracks their weights particularity around the squat racks causing consistent trip hazards. People just leave benches in the path between the smith machines and leg press, thus blocking the way. The music is nauseatingly loud, the staff that I do see on the floor do very little tidying of the area and seem to have little regard for their workplace. The gym has a distinctly unprofessional atmosphere and I have reached the point of where I am unwilling to tolerate...

APPALING SERVICE:

My husband and I went to this gym to have a look, it is 30 minutes from our house so we wasn't sold on signing up as members on that day. We were told that we would need to fill out the membership paperwork so we could have a look at it that day. We completed the paperwork and was told that we are signed up for a 10 days free trial period in which we could cancel at any time before the 10 days are up just by a phone call.

We called 3 days later and said that we would like to cancel our membership as we hadn't been able to get out to the gym as it is too far, we were told that we was not able to do that as we are locked into a contract.

We called the head office on numerous occasions and they never once returned our calls, we then called the personal trainer that we signed up with and he assured us that everything will be okay and that he would be able to cancel our membership for us.

We receive a call back 2 days later advising we would need to come into the gym to complete a membership form, we went into the gym that afternoon and the guy behind the desk kept us waiting there for 20 minutes as he didn't;t know which form we needed to complete. He found a cancellation form and asked us to complete it and if it wasn't the correct form he would call us the following morning, otherwise the membership would be cancelled and we would not need to worry about it.

3 weeks later the gym debited $70 from our bank account, so now we are in the process again of trying to get in contact with someone from Go Health Club to explain what is happening, which may I add, we are having no luck with.

In short, DONT SIGN UP FOR A FREE TRIAL HERE! IT HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTE...

The only reason I like this gym is cos the times I go (usually between 10am- 1.30pm) there’s a few less people than peak time so its slightly more possible do a workout and have room to do so.

The good stuff kinda ends there. The dry sauna is NEVER WORKING - this is a big draw card for a lot of members and it’s never functioning, which is so frustrating. The paper towels, cleaning sprays and/or antibacterial wipes are NEVER stocked. Yet they want us to maintain hygienic training conditions. There is a lack in the weights of smaller dumbbells (
