Cancellation policy adds additional month to membership
Contrary to Consumer Affairs Victoria guidance, this gym adds a 30 day cancellation policy to their month to month membership - adding an additional month of fees to the agreement. Be aware that any agreement you make with them, will add an additional month of costs beyond the agreed contract.

Money driven club!
Me and my girlfriend signed up for the gym recently and found out one week later that they had charged us each $150 on top of the weekly membership payments.
Apparently the $150 charged was for the ADMIN FEE (which they have neglected to inform either of us at the time of registration) and PERSONAL TRAINER program (which we made sure at the time of registration we were not interested).
I was fortunate my bank app notified me earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find out I was actually on a program.
Huge disappointment! Would definitely not recommend...

Prahran GoodLife
Only after your money don't even follow the rules of the ACCC.
Take your money and then change the service they provide. Purposely vague when selling memberships or other services. Take your money and then never provide the service and refuse to refund a service not provided.
Also consistently dirty and broken facilities and no aircon and fans that are never switched on above the lowest setting what a rip off!

Just awful. Run but not in this direction!
Staff on the counter could not care less about customers. Overcrowding is insane. Nothing is ever fixed or put away. This is the ‘gym’ people joke about. Management are as ineffectual as it gets. A real mess. This place could be great with someone serious at the wheel. At the moment, I would say, do not waste your money.

Filthy Club with the great Stich up scheme which cheats its members with unreasonable fees
have been a member for 3 years, have always been stitched up for unreasonable fees. i have ignored few charges but their staff including manager is very rude. They treat people like kids.
Their contracts are unreasonable and every time they stitch you up with money they will throw a contract to your face and say read it. i do not recommend anyone to join this poorly ran and managed gym.
on top of issues with the way they deal with people, the gym's condition is worsening. steam room is not functioning for 18 months, bathrooms are filthy, no air con on a hot days, cooling system doesn't work. spa doesn't operate and is filthy too.
Be aware, if you join this gym you will get stitched up for money, worst customer service and equipment

Ripping off the chronically ill
I joined Goodlife 2 days before falling ill. 12 months later I’m not getting better and finally apply for a medical cancellation after they kept convincing me to suspend the membership. They flatly refused to refund the money paid on joining, despite never using the facility. They waived the $75 cancellation fee, but kept my $205. They have no compassion and only want your money. Sick, disabled? That’s your problem, not theirs. You signed a contract.

Very dodgy!
The reps get commission on every new signup. You'll notice everyone in the gym is on a different rate cause they're dodgy and not clear about their prices. Very dodgy business model!!!

Worst customer service at Prahran.
Do NOT sign up here. Cancelling was such a massive issue. Even though I’d been there for two years. They put up the price once I cancelled also so now I’m paying extra and theres not a damn thing they can do! Yeh right. How about don’t rip people off!

New member but so far like it
I am extremely fussy about gyms and have spent a year finding the right gym for me. Goodlife is pretty close for me. It has many gyms which as a member I have access to all. Some are 24/7 which is what I was looking for. However also some gyms have access to a basketball court that is always available for casual shooting or pick up games, tennis courts with one being indoor and squash courts. When I read the reviews here I got terrified that I joined but so far at least for me I am pretty happy with the fact I joined.

Think 20 times before you join this doggy gym
Worst gym ever !! Their cooling off period is a LIE, dont fall for it they will co rinse debuting you even you say you want to cancle 2 hours later. And goodluck getting your money back. All staff are con artists, they get special training for it I guess. Join anywhere BUT this gym UNLES you want troubles.

Rude Rude very Rude! Poor customer service you ever seen!
My local Goodlife gym in Glen iris is the worst ever staff you can never imagine. Rude and treated customer as rubbish. Never ever go there! Tried to write review on their google page but they blocked the entry! The manager said she is the owner and you can not imagine how rude she is! She accidentally canceled my membership and has to let me rejoin again and has to complete process before 3pm on the day she contacted me! I could not make it as I was at work. She said: do you want do it or not?! If you cant finish today then you go somewhere el...Read more
se! ......Who welcomed feeling! After negotiations They agreed I will come over second day to do rejoin process. Please note: They said this is the way to helped me out!..... ok, I admit that I agreed to cooperate to process rejoin again only because this Gym is close to me and 24 hours access. I suppose once joined then wont see staff often! If that is their meaning of the way to help me out!! I drove over second day to do the process to rejoin member. Did not know High street has road work after traffic jam took me 1.5 hours to get Glen iris good life from south Yarra. The receptionist let me fill form on there PC then the last page ask join fee $99. As I joined on the 25th of September the sells person offered me no join fee and no contact as student! I ask the receptionist why now ask join fee as your gym accidentally canceled my membership she said I didnt sign a form that is why been canceled. I told her that I signed all the form you give to me on the day to pick up the key and tag card. She said now rejoin again has to pay $99 join fee!! What a waste of my day and all the way drove there with horrible traffic! I said to her, I did not make any fault to join your club. Now you cancelled my membership and ask me come over rejoin again and changed the policy without telling me. I would not come over to follow your manager instructions to rejoin membership if she informed me there is a join fee $99 yesterday! She said normally cost $299 you get good deal for $99. Wow, that is not what I am talking about! I told her, thanks for offer I am not going to join this gym. Bye! P.S. thanks for this website give me the space to express what I have been though with this gym. After read all reviews that I am so happy did not join this Gym!Similar opinion?

Really sad
The fitness director was abruptly moved clubs about 3 weeks before the goodlife famous '12 week challenge' has ended. The FD was a lovely person, with a strong rapport for clients, very personal and knowledgeable and really just a kind person. Its devastating as the FD put on a fabulous challenge and really mobilized all participants. Its just cruel that they would take him away before it ended. In these circumstances we are reminded that money is the most important factor in these gyms NOT building rapport with clients, creating a positive atm...Read more
osphere etc. FD you will be sadly missed and the new FD you have huge shoes to fill. October 10th 2022 Update: Amazing creche I would like to say how amazing the creche the Wantirna Goodlife facility. Mini kids as is called is a fabulously run by the manager S who is the most kindest and approachable person. She helped me feel at ease with my son attending as he does not attend day care at all. Her patience and persistence with my son is admirable, I look up to S and she is just the most genuine person you will ever meet. Her and her team of ladies which I call my 'angels' are the best women. They are genuine, kind, and creative. They run 2 amazing sessions focusing on creative play, mat, reading and singing time, and general play . They engage with the kids on such a personal level. I adore these women, and I am so grateful for the affordable service they provide. Unfortunately though management cut down the amount of kids in each session. I believe they need to put back on the 4th and 5th staff member and therefore more kids can attend. When I call sometimes they are booked out. Management should see that this is such a beautiful, thriving service. The mini kids is definitely the ONLY motivating factor for us to attend the gym. If It wasn't for this service I would leave!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Terrible money grab!
Unfortunately while my gym experience was satisfactory, my dilemma is with the administration of this terrible organisation.
I have been charged for 4 consecutive weeks after I postponed my membership, and was yet to receive notification it was turned back on, despite receiving advice that I would be notified.
All in all, just another organisation that doesn't give a s*** about their members, only wanting to make money.
Won't be using them again!

Terrible and rude customer service
What kind of service would it be if the customer service manager is so rude? Gosh, I paid money and now I want to kill myself for that stupid decision. Once you paid the joining up fee, they were like pushing you to cancel your membership by saying stuff like 'do you want to cancel your membership?! No refund for anything you paid! I'm going to terminate the phone call!' God, I told Good life staff that I won't be able to use gym for the following two weeks, and they told me they'll arrange that and get someone to call me. Nearly two weeks pass...Read more

Why they can’t tell you that there is cancellations fees .
Staff is very unprofessional in terms of insisting you.
They just want to steal your hard earned money.
Very very disappointed.
They are not a gym but a personal loan lenders .

Zero Customer Service
Hoppers Crossing Goodlife - I’ve had at least 3 memberships with these guys over the years and have been looking to re-join. I’ve been trying to find one affordable as they use to have a no joining fee and 30 days free promotion which I was hoping to renegotiate with them. I also tried to offer to buy a 12 month membership outright at a discount but was also turned down. Which is fine... but then an ad pop up on Facebook came up where you could sign up for a free 5day pass which was immediately sent to my email.Renae the assistant branch manage...Read more
r is rude and obnoxious who I had dealt with previously regarding my enquires. (Was only polite when she knew I was keen on joining - didn’t want a bar of it after I implied I would look elsewhere) called me immediately after I signed up for the pass telling me I was ineligible. No resolution or alternative offered. Just blatant rude. I would’ve joined it again ages ago had it not been for her lack of customer service. No class at all!Similar opinion?

Good life stole money from me
I spoke with Goodlife one month before the end of my contract to confirm it would not be renewed. Good life staff failed to record my notification in the system. They have a 1 month notice of cancellation policy however continued to take money out into the 2nd month after I notified them (as well as after my contract had ended). I took it to head office after being told they couldn't refund me the money that they were stealing from my account, and even head office had a very poor response. They kept failing to acknowledge that I had communicate...Read more
d 1 month prior (because they had failed to record it and can't seem to accept that this may be their fault). I felt like i was bashing my head against a brick wall, knowing they were unlawfully stealing from me due to their mistake, but at the same time since I had no proof of my telling them I wished to cancel (as I had done that in person verbally), i knew there was nothing I could legally do to hold them accountable. The communication was repetitive and terrible, completely skipping the actual issue, ignoring what I was explaining and simply reciting their terms and conditions.Treating me like a number instead if a person really. Disgusting. And I am still expecting them to steal 2 more payments before the month is out.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
