GoodLife Fitness Club
9/20/2008
I travel to London (Ontario) a few times a year for business. I always stay downtown, close to our company headquarters. The hotel "fitness" rooms just don't do it for me. This club is very much like my regular club in Chicago, Fitness Formula. Well-run, clean, good equipment. Clean locker rooms and showers too (the men's anyway; don't know about the women's). Good mix of men/women, young and old. Price for a guest pass is $15 CA. They also have a small indoor track.
Enter through Wellington mid-block entrance to the Galleria Mall, then take the escalators down to the lower level. If you need cash, there's a TD Bank one block away at Wellington and Dundas with an ATM that takes my ATM card without problems. (I find many convenience store ATMs in Canada will not take mt Chase ATM card.)

History
Established in 1979
Just two weeks into his first year at the University of Western Ontario, David Patchell-Evans' life was changed in an instant. A motorcycle accident left the 20 year-old with broken bones, torn muscles and a severe shoulder injury.
The next 8 months were spent in rehab where he became a little obsessed with how people get stronger and get fit - fast. Determined to return to full physical fitness, he took up rowing, later becoming a member of the 1980 Olympic team. At school he switched from business studies to physical education, graduating with honours.
Patchell-Evans saw a big opportunity to share what he had learned about the power of fitness to transform a life. He purchased the small London club he worked out in, and GoodLife came to life in London, Ontario.
Through the past 30 years, GoodLife Fitness has evolved to become the leader in fitness and wellness across Canada. GoodLife is now the largest fitness company in Canada and the fifth largest in the world.
