Goodlife
Fitness is the puppy mill of fitness in Canada.
They have
lots of pretty machines and weights. You look around and think, heck I could
get fit in a place like this!
They also
have some of the worst trainers around, and over 80 percent of their members
never come to the gym at all, let alone get fit.
There’s a
reason Goodlife Fitness hires and keeps bad trainers. It’s all economic.
You see
Goodlife Fitness hires kids most of the time. They have zero experience, only a
weekend course, and no real understanding of fitness and how to work with
clients.
But those
kids make Goodlife millions of dollars a year.
You see,
better trainers command higher wages. This means the company makes less on
those trainers. So it’s in Goodlife’s best interest to hire and keep young and
inexperienced trainers. Those trainers are fed clients who walk in the door,
wanting to get fit. They pay Goodlife thousands of dollars for an expert. What
they get is a novice, who likely knows only a fraction more than the client
does.
The
client works with the trainer for a long time and doesn’t progress, because the
trainer doesn’t know how to help them. Usually then the client quits and says,
personal trainers are waste of time money.
The fact
is there are lots of very good trainers. Just very few of them work at Goodlife
Fitness. They work at smaller gyms that care about their clients. These trainer
get results, help people every day, and are worth every penny you pay for them.
If you
want to get fit, skip Goodlife and the other big chains, and look for a smaller
gym with better trainers. You will actually get something good for the money
you put down and be much happier with the results.
