GoodLife Secures Canada's 50 Best Managed Company Award

GoodLife Fitness has triumphed once again, requalifying for Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies status for the 5th consecutive year. This prestigious national award is sponsored by Deloitte, CIBC Commercial Banking, National Post, and Queen's School of Business.

"This year's winners leveraged their entrepreneurial passion to drive their revenue, profits and value in the face of triple-digit oil prices, a strong Canadian dollar, and mixed economic signals south of the border," commented John Hughes, Deloitte partner and national leader of the Best Managed program. Hughes went on to say, "They continue to make the list because they remain focused on their core vision, create stakeholder value and continue to excel. The program has become the Hall of Fame for Canada's best companies".

David Patchell-Evans commented, "I am honoured by this recognition and share it with our GoodLife members, our 6,000 staff and a profession that enables us every day to do what we love the most…helping Canadians be healthier and happier in their day to day lives."

GoodLife will be honoured at the Best Managed 15th annual, invitation-only Symposium and Gala on February 25, 2008 in Toronto. GoodLife is Canada's largest fitness company with over 400,000 members and 150 clubs stretching from Newfoundland to British Columbia.
