Frequently Asked Questions

See if any of these frequently asked questions have the answer you're looking for.

Does at least one parent/guardian of the teen have to be a Member? Or can an adult Member “sponsor” a teen child and their friends?

The Teen Fitness program is for all teens aged 12-17 in Canada. Parents/Guardians do not have to be a GoodLife Fitness member. Teens need to have their own parent or guardian register them online and come to the Club in person with their parent or guardian to sign and complete the registration process.

If a teen is already a Member; can they place their Membership on freeze to participate in this program?

Yes, teens can place their Membership on freeze. However, it is important to note that Teen Fitness Memberships have limited hours and Club access, and teens who freeze their standard Membership will have to follow these rules for the duration of the Teen Fitness Program; from July 5, 2023, to September 4, 2023.

My teen will turn 18 before the program ends in September. Can they still join?

Yes. Teens must be 17 upon registration date and the start-date of the program. If they turn 18 after their registration and start-date, they can participate.

My teen is 11, can they participate?  What about if they turn 12 during the summer?

The starting age for Teen Fitness is 12.  There are no exceptions to this rule.  If your child turns 12 during the summer, you can register them online after their birthday.

Why are Performance classes, Ultimate amenities* the sauna/steam room, squash, pool/ whirlpool, and some machines not part of the free Teen Fitness summer Membership?

Certain GoodLife amenities are very popular with our Members, particularly during busier hours. These amenities, and some equipment, are excluded from the free Teen Fitness Membership to encourage equal use of the gym space and avoid overcrowding. *Tanning is exempt, as Members must be legal age of majority to utilize any Tanning equipment.

How does my teen book a Group Fitness class?
