If you have a flight delay or a long layover at Toronto Lester B. Pearson Airport (YYZ), there’s another option for things to do besides hanging out in the pricey food court or airport lounge.

You can  go work out at Goodlife Fitness! It’s located right in Terminal 1 so you don’t even need to leave the airport.

Goodlife Fitness Centres is the largest health club company in Canada and boasts over 300 locations across the country. The GoodLife Fitness Club at Toronto Pearson is the first-of-its-kind fitness club in an airport in Canada.

Here’s what to expect:

Location of GoodLife Pearson in Toronto Airport (YYZ)

Located in Terminal 1 in the Arrivals Area ( near Gate F), the custom-designed GoodLife Fitness facility was created in partnership with  the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) and opened to the public on October 16, 2013.

It  offers a stylish work-out experience that will appeal to travellers on layover ( or those who have a flight delay), Pearson employees or frequent flyers like me who want to get active.

 

How to Get from Terminal 3 to Terminal 1

If you’re travelling via Terminal 3 it’s still possible to get to Terminal 1, enjoy the fitness facilities and return back to Terminal 1. Just hop on the free, accessible Terminal Link train takes passengers between Viscount station and the terminals, 24 hours a day.

This is the same train used to access the Sheraton Gateway Hotel, the ALT Hotel and the Viscount Station and Value Park Garage and Lot. So it’s worth considering as an option no matter which terminal you’re arriving or departing from. There are also connections to the city ( UP Express).
