Leading Canadian health club operation GoodLife Fitness recently opened its latest club in downtown Calgary, within the Bank of Montreal building.

The 1,858sq m (20,000sq ft) flagship health club is set amid the limestone and Corinthian columns of the historic building. GoodLife Fitness worked with Square Feet Design Group and Trigon Construction Management for over a year, restoring the historic building’s mezzanine, main floor and basement. Great care was taken to protect the unique decorative features including 35-foot ceilings embellished with rosettes and 917 ounces of gold leaf, marble floors, decorative mouldings and original chandeliers.

Club amenities now include a large gym, group fitness – including group cycling and team training – personal training, massage chairs, and changing rooms with dry cedar saunas. Equipment suppliers include FreeMotion, Star Trac and Life Fitness.

GoodLife Fitness operates over 330 clubs across Canada, including 70 Énergie Cardio and EconoFitness Clubs in Quebec, and also encompassing its new Fit4Less by GoodLife low-cost brand.
