Goodlife Health Clubs Bardon - Bardon, Queensland

Great gym and has everything you need however the equipment is SO old and some rusted equipment. Desperately needs an upgrade of new machines please! I’ve been going here for 3 years and love the gym it’s perfect location but I would like to see more effort into providing better equipment. The kettle bells in particular need replacing 🙏 otherwise it’s a great gym! Great staff!

I am very happy to train in this club. It is clean and has good and kind staff. I have changed two or three clubs so far, none of them had the quality of this club. If this club was open 24 hours, it would be very good. Anyway, thanks to the good and kind staff of the GoodLife Bardon club.

The staff here are incredibly friendly and always willing to help, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The gym offers a wide range of well-maintained equipment, catering to all types of workouts. Its spacious layout ensures there's plenty of room, even during busy times. Parking is convenient

Great gym - first went in 2005 whilst visiting parents on uni break. After a decade in WA I purposefully signed up at Bardon when returning to Brisvegas.

Atmosphere is good for working out and its in a nice, quiet area. Recommend if youre in the area and looking for a solid gym.

Dirty toilets, broken machines, bad loud music. Old, very old. Can't wait until my membership expires in December to move to another gym.

I’ve been a member here for almost 1 year. When I first visited I liked the outdoor training area and the traditional feel of the gym. I thought the pool could be a useful addition.

Over time the traditional feel felt old. There has been no effort to make any improvements to the gym in my time as a member here.

As I write this I’m looking at 4 leaking areas of the ceiling, with buckets scattered among the benches and squat racks. This has been a consistent issue. The sign should read: “don’t drop the weights, don’t bring your bags out, and always wear shoes…and please ignore the safety hazards that exist because we can’t be bothered to fix them”.

I won’t get started on the flooding in the men’s change room from the showers into the dressing area.

Like many gyms, people don’t put their weights away, and these people are a plight on society. It’s compounded at Goodlife Bardon because it seems that staff don’t monitor the floor and re-rack or reorganise anything. Right now I count 13 x 20kg plates on 1 of the squat racks. That’s a little heavy even for me.

Some other points to note:

- There is no natural light in the downstairs weights floor and it can feel soulless.
- It’s not 24/7 access but you still pay as if it was.
- the outdoor gym area only opens at 7am, which is fair because there are houses close by but it makes it kind of useless to me because of when I train (YouTube says workouts only count if you get up at 5am).
- it’s very important to one of the PT’s that your towel is perfectly covering the equipment you’re using. He should invest more effort in being good at his job or getting in shape. Because he’s neither. (In truth he’s only knocked me a couple times, but each time he scolds like I’m a child. It stings because I’m not a child, so I’ll hold this grudge forever. Benefit of the doubt - the environment isn’t a nice one so maybe he’s sore about it).

The equipment is old but there is nothing wrong with it, 20kg is still 20kg.

The staff are decent and I’ve got no gripe with them (except for the fellow I mention above).

The flaws listed above in isolation don’t make or break a gym. But the compounding effect results in a gym that is subpar compared to its competition and too expensive for what it is.

I do not recommend this gym.
