Teens across Canada join GoodLife Fitness' free Teen Fitness summer program
Teens aged 12-17 can access all GoodLife Fitness locations for free.
LONDON, ON, June 2, 2026 /CNW/ - GoodLife Fitness' popular Teen Fitness program is back this summer, offering youth aged 12-17 free access to nearly 200 gyms across Canada all summer long. Launched in 2010, the national program has seen record-breaking participation year after year as more teens embrace health and wellness.
"Teens today truly understand the benefits of fitness," said Tracy Matthews, senior vice president of experience and safety. "We hear from teens all the time who want to feel stronger, more confident, improve in sports, or simply stay connected to friends over the summer. For many young people, the gym is a space of self-care and growth, and we're so proud to be a part of that journey."
According to Statistics Canada, physically active teens report experiencing better mental health, lower stress and higher life satisfaction, a shift GoodLife Fitness recognized early when it became the first major fitness company in Canada to offer free nationwide gym access for teens over the summer months. Sixteen years later, GoodLife's Teen Fitness program continues to expand, offering access to strength-training equipment and free weights, group fitness classes, fitness experts, digital programs and more.
"Summer 2025 was the Teen Fitness program's most successful year ever," said Matthews. "We're so excited to welcome teens back this summer and continue to build lifelong habits around health, wellness and exercise."
GoodLife Teen Fitness is open to anyone between the ages of 12 and 17. Teen Fitness members can access any GoodLife Fitness gym for free, seven days a week, during off-peak hours. The program runs from July 3 to September 8, 2026. Registration is open now at teenfitness.ca.
Indie V.H. (age 14) from London, Ontario, is looking forward to her second year in the program.
"I can't wait for Teen Fitness to start again," said Indie. "I love being able to work out with my friends and stay active while I'm not in school or dance. Last year, the GoodLife staff showed me how to use the machines and helped me learn some workouts to improve my dancing. This year, I'm planning to strengthen my legs and my jumping so I can go back even stronger in September."
