Canada's largest fitness-club operator with 400+ locations coast-to-coast
GoodLife Fitness operates the largest gym chain in Canada across 5,000–10,000 employees, with a business model centered on in-person memberships, personal training, and emerging digital programming. Hiring is heavily skewed toward healthcare and operations roles (216 of 378 open positions), with junior-level staff comprising 76% of recruitment—a profile typical of rapid franchise or location expansion. The tech stack leans Adobe marketing cloud (Experience Manager, Analytics, Commerce, Target) paired with Java/.NET backends, reflecting a membership-management and digital-marketing orientation rather than engineering-first infrastructure.
