Fitness First Carindale 24.7 / Goodlife Health Clubs Carina Heights

I absolutely love coming to this gym. The reformer Pilates is an awesome fitness class as are the other classes on offer as well. The team are amazing and the amenities excellent. A loyal partner to this gym.

I've had a consistently positive experience at this gym. The equipment is always well-maintained, creating a reliable workout environment. The staff are always friendly and approachable, providing assistance when needed. All of the facilities within the gym are also kept clean and tidy.

This Goodlife is genuinely one of the best. Great facilities and regularly cleaned. However the only thing keeping it from its full potential of 5 stars is the fact that the gym culture doesn’t seem to follow basic respect of re-racking their weights when finished. There doesn’t seem to be any signs anywhere either that reminds clients to put them away when done either. This honestly unfortunately causes a lot of frustration with you having to stop your workout to search the gym for specific weights and also causes a workplace health and safety hazard with weights being easy to trip over

If you’re okay with young boys congregating around equipment for 30 mins at a time, and displaying disrespectful behaviour even with others around (horrible loud swearing, shadow boxing in front of other gym goers, pushing each other and even breaking some of the cable machines) - then this is the gym for you. This isn’t a one off thing that happens- It happens everytime i’m in there (theres a particular group that come in after 8pm) … I notice there are other reviews about this particular crowd, and im sure management could identify them. The state of this gym is a longshot from the old Fitness First days. Goodlife memberships are cheap, so it’s attracting a “cheap” crowd. I changed gyms because it’s not enjoyable going there anymore.

Unfortunately all the reviews are correct. Make sure to do a free trial before signing up as my experience is that if you pay upfront, they then take 11 weeks to refund and don’t refund the whole amount paid - stop responding and head office don’t respond either. Disappointing to see that their standards have dropped compared to years ago.

I have been a Goodlife/FF member for many years, and usually Tain in the city bust have recently been coming here on weekends over the past few years.

The gym has a great open space upstairs and all the equipment is functional and the floors are kept relatively clean. It also has natural light shining in which is a plus and not something I’ve really seen at any other gym.

The wet area is great and yes they would do a mini uplift, but a pool is a pool, and so is a spa and a sauna and a steam room. There were some issues with things being out or order but that was mostly during Covid so I imagine that what why it took them awhile to get back working.

The reception staff are always super friendly, and it is really the only place that opens on Sat and Sun till 5pm and on public holidays so that allows people to enjoy the steam room and sauna ammenities. They also offer free wi-fi. I’ve seen such features at other more family ‘bathhouses’ where people are paying $40 a visit so I think the service is economical. Also, the clientele here seem super friendly hence why the gym floors are probably clean because people put their weights back unlike other places.

The only improvement they could make it a refurbishment of the change rooms. Keep up the nice work Goodlife Carina Heights!

Manager Mark is rude and unfriendly and terrible good at sales. I specifically did not join the Gym because of him.

Went to carina once to do a class there. It felt like the Trainor didn't want to be there. It was demotivating. 2 stars for the spa and pool

Has a pool! But the problem is parking here is abysmal. I would not recommend this gym just on the basis of its lack of car parking.

Truly friendly, helpful and very welcoming without the hype. Denise and the front desk team always there to help. Personal trainer Jason is a thorough professional and all round nice guy as well as an expert, always positive and supports a total wellness approach, with enjoyable programs and advice, catering for injuries and personal goals. Both highly recommended!

Have been coming here for over a year now and really enjoy the atmosphere the equipment and especially my trainer John can't rate that guy enough!

Absolutely corrupt and greedy company that rips off loyal members when they try to cancel membership. Reading through the other comments, it seems like my experience is just one among hundreds and I wish I had seen these before I signed up.

After several written requests to cancel my membership, they dangled an offer to transfer my membership to a non-member. Then when I tried to accept the offer, they tell me that its not a valid option and I have to pay another 30 days fees.

My take is that they know they're not acting morally or legally, but rely on their size and debt collectors to bully consumers into paying fees for no service knowing that it'll be too costly or timely for any individual consumer to fight their theft.

Great service and open 24 hours!
Have pool, sauna, steam room & Jacuzzi.

All in one luxury

GoodLife Carina Heights is my local gym, I have been a member for a while. I really love this gym & the location, the staff a very welcoming. Denise is on reception in the morning's & greets everyone by name, a lovely lady & is always so friendly. I attend the reform pilates classes each week & there is many classes to choose from. The instructors are very supportive. The timetable hours suit my work schedule. My PT Carla is a real gem she is fierce but fair & has got me feeling stronger after a debilitating injury. I trust her completely & admire her craft. This gym has a real vibe & never ceases to surprise me & inspire me. I would 100% recommend for you to join this gym.

They will non-stop call you if you put interest online which is so annoying. However, I still really wanted to join and called to say I wanted to come in for a free trial. Staff seemed friendly on the phone. When I got there, I was made to wait for 20 mins and was essentially ignored by all staff except for the one who greeted me. I couldn't wait any longer so I left and went to a public pool instead. When leaving, two receptionists just talked to each other and didn't say a word to me. I really wanted to join but that experience was off putting.

Terrific facilities. Pilates reformer classes with Liz is brilliant. As a first timer found professional instruction, and welcoming. Adequate parking.

Probably the best gym I've been to South of Brisbane CBD. Amenities could do with a refurb and a better clean. But equipment, classes and staff are great!

Thanks to my wife's platinum plus membership I got enjoy classes and great facilities, including sauna, spa and pool.

Great gym with lots of options for classes and friendly team. Recent addition of reform Pilates is great!

Love this gym, heaps of equipment, good range of classes at a decent price.
Good community feel.
