True confession time? My last gym experience prior to joining this one involved me falling off a treadmill, fracturing my finger, and being covered in bruises and scrapes (yeah...I kind of raise clumsiness to a whole new level. It's a gift).
However I am happy to say that I just recently joined this particular gym and am really enjoying it so far. The staff have been friendly and helpful about answering my questions, and have explained my options without pressuring me into anything.
I like that it is women only, and though I've only been going for a few weeks, it doesn't seem to get as crowded as other gyms I've been in, which is also a plus.
As long as my experience here continues as such, I think this membership may be the beginning of a long and pleasurable relationship. Maybe I'll just try to steer clear of those treadmills...Listed in: Feel the Burn!

I had hopes for this gym. I had been previously going to the SMU gym, but as a faculty member I felt a little uncomfortable. I thought I would try Goodlife instead. With a couple locations (outside the city) that are open 24hrs, I thought it may be good for my schedule.
I love Goodlife. I've been a member in many places (Halifax, Ottawa and Vancouver) and have enjoyed their facilities, the options they offer, etc. I do like Good Life.... it's just this location that really could use some work.
I appreciate the "female only" option, as it's the only one in the city, but it's not the reason I go there (it's within walking distance of my apartment). I just find this place dirty. The change rooms were dirty and dim, the bathroom was gross, even the machine I was on was filthy. But that may be the location. It's an older gym, and it's small. I just found that the general up keep was not that great at this location. And then, the first time I went there, there were two staff chatting to a friend (who was sitting on the desk) and a upper management in their office (I believe). Just made me feel like they should be taking a little more pride in their location.
I'll keep going... just know that some basic things could really improve this location and make it a place that is appealing. -

I like working out in women's only gyms, so I feel lucky to have this one in my neighborhood. In particular, I find the yoga classes at this location to be better than the ones at the Park Lane location. At Park Lane, the class I frequented took place at the same time as a spin class upstairs, and the music was completely overbearing. Park Vic also isn't usually as crowded.
I had a bad experience with a billing issue once last year, but the staff at Goodlife were very apologetic and fixed the problem right away. The best thing about getting a Goodlife membership, though, is that you can use any location. There is a gym across the street from my office in Clayton Park that I can go to at lunchtime, and then I can go to Park Lane or Park Vic in the evenings or on weekends. You can't get that kind of convenience with any other gym in Halifax. -

I had an experience at this gym in the past week that was pretty frustrating, and thus far, hasn't been handled well by staff/management.
First of all, it states on the front door of this Nubody's that the gym closes at 10pm. At 9:40pm last Monday, I along with one other girl was just completing my cardio routine. All of the cardio equipment at this gym faces 6 big screen tv's, and we were both plugged in and watching while we finished exercising. The Nubody's attendant closing that night proceeded to walk in front turning off all of the tv's. I looked up and noticed that it was only 9:40 and said: 'excuse me.'-I was hoping to ask her to leave the tv's on for 10 more minutes. Instead, I received no response. She either didn't hear me, or didn't feel like responding. For the amount that most people pay at this gym, they can't leave the tv's on until people have left? I realize that it's probably protocol to *start* shutting down at 9:50 or so but this was just too early... and too rude.
I have since sent an email to the manager of this location asking for clarification on close times, as well as why I was treated so poorly and have yet to receive a response. Moral of the story: Don't join this Nubody's location... the Park Lane location 2 blocks away will let your run until the gym actually closes.1 Previous Review: Show all »

It's nice having Park Victoria (women's) Nubody's so close to the co-ed Park lane Nubody's. If you… Read more »

Located in the bottom of the Park Victoria apartment building, and formerly Park Vic Fitness, Park Victoria Nubody's was opened in 2008 and is one of the newest Nubody Clubs in the HRM.
The Women's Only Club is painted hot pink, with pink everything throughout the Club. Like many other Nubody's, it has coin-operated tanning beds downstairs where you can tan for up to 20 mins for $5. Also found downstairs are a large sized aerobics room, a yoga studio, and change rooms (with lockers and showers).
For me, I prefer the coed gyms, but for others, the Women's Only gyms work well. Also, I'm not a huge fan of the Bright Pink, as I find it a little overwhelming and a little too much Girl Power.
