My brother signed up a dirt cheap deal when they first opened. He said there's no point going unless you go either during mid morning or after 11pm. All the weights and machines are constantly being taking up by bros exchanging sets between the group so you never get a turn. Only thing they're good for is cardio.

I'd give Anytime Fitness a shot. 24/7 gym and generally not as busy. There's one that's in North Burnaby by Boundary/Hastings and that place is rarely busy after 11pm. There's significantly more Anytime Fitness around compared to Good Life, but you'll be paying at least $40.

This... I signed up when they first opened. I remember that promo, they had fantastic promotions. Im paying 17/month. Not sure if I'll ever give that up.

I do remember that promo after 8pm as well, and have never seen it since (I go at least once a week).

As CH28 said, they are too busy now. Heck, it was even busy at 12:15am last night, which would be insane last year. Now it seems to be the norm.

I wouldn't say all you would be doing is cardio. Some people are more than glad to let you work in between sets.

If I didn't sign up for GL, I'd go back to Sports Central, they always have good deals and 24/7 too. From their facebook, it looks like they have renovated.
