Gold's Gym

Had a Gold's membership several years ago and really not my kind of gym. More suited to bodybuilding crowd and less so to those just focused on general fitness.

(Edit: I failed to mention that Gold's Gym has never contacted me for any of the requests I've entered using their support system. ) The contact support option does not allow contact with a person. This would not be bad except they provide no feedback that a support ticket was created. There is no ticket reference number to track or refer to. There is no email confirming you submitted a ticket. There is no phone line to contact a rep for help. It is a false, misleading and abusive member system that no member or user can circumvent or gain access to any form of a solution. Contacting a local office does no help, because they are not the recipients of these help tickets, or at least every ticket that's been submitted by me has never been seen at my gym. This is the epitome of falseness, misdirection and member abuse taking the face of "support". -JJ

Stocked full of equipment to get a good workout in and plenty of classes to choose from to provide a great experience with keeping up a healthy body.

We used to go to Gold's Gym before it changed management and it was a ok gym. Needed a lot of updating and the equipment was getting run down. I wondered where my membership fees where going, not to getting new equipment I guess.

Decent equipment and good basketball facilities. Little expensive but worth it for the basketball gym.

I had a free month and after I did not join. The they did not have variety of classes, and was too expensive.

I like how they have places where your kids can play while you work out, it makes it so I am able to come more often.

I've been a couple times, and wasn't too impressed by the cleanliness. I know it's a gym, but the whole place was a mess. The equipment itself was good quality though.

I had a Gold's Gym membership for a long time. I loved the variety of equipment and weights. I really enjoyed that I had access to the pool. I was also a student, so they gave me a student discount, so I feel like I got a lot of quality for very little pay.

Please run for your life, they will rob you, blow your credit if you don t give in the extorsion.... Go elsewhere please... they sent me to collection after charging me for more than a year after I walked in and requested a cancellation per their instructions. To me it was over... nope! Check my credit and it was down 30 points.... it s just horrible

I love working out at Gold's Gym. They have very clean facilities and even better customer service.

Gold's Gym has really great machines. Their front desk customer service is has always been great as well.

Gold gym has tons of new equipment and their gyms are always nice and clean and the trainers there are great!

Golds Gym, great prices and great facilities, can't really say more. no complaints here.

I liked this fitness center’s variety of equipment and staff, but it was too pricey to keep up. If it weren’t as pricey, I would still love to go here.

I like Gold’s Gym because they have a huge selection of equipment that I can use to workout.

I loved the group fitness classes! So motivating to see so many ladies and a few guys there, sweating it out and learning good form. And the instructor, the one who loved Barry Manilow was just the best.

I used Golds Gym before the one at my house was changed for a Planet Fitness. It was an alright gym. It wasn’t always the cleanest and the staff wasn’t super friendly most days. But it was all I had so I used it. I’m so glad to be going to Planet Fitness now!

Tried it out a couple times. Did not like. Guys were dropping weights and grunting. So many body builders there and all they do was stare at them selves in the mirror. Never was able to feel comfortable or get a good work out in.

golds gym was an awesome place to work out but it got to expensive for me to work out there. but loved the workers and i liked to work out there better then planet fitness

My experience at Golds Gym was meh. I felt like it was all bodybuilders there who hogged all the machines and weights, and definitely felt some serious judgement.

You want a place where you can exercise, use free wifi, and you're an independent exerciser this is the place! Cheap membership and working equipment!

The classes are always crowded. Love the teachers they are well trained and make it fun! Hate the weight area

i love golds gym i have always gone to golds gym. the equipment at golds is always very nice stuff. and i love working out.

Golds gym changed my life! I have never felt comfortable at a gym but golds offers group fitness classes that have changed my life! The staff is amazing and makes you feel so comfortable and confident!

Wasn’t very impressed with golds, something was always broken and the people working at the front weren’t kind at all.

I personally didn’t enjoy my time at Gold’s Gym because I didn’t feel like the atmosphere matched my personal fitness goals. It was also more expensive than I would’ve liked to pay so I switched gyms. I’m sure this gym is great for some people, but I enjoy others better

It was a very serious place for those who wanted a very serious workout. Good free weights at the time.

We've used Golds Gym before. I'd say they are overpriced for the very basic equipment they provide. I think gyms like Crossfit with trainers and classes is a much better way to get into shape. I do like that Gold's Gym had different classes you can go to like Yoga, Pilates, Zumba. But, overall it's overpriced for what you get.

I used to go to gold gym. But then they took it away from our neighborhood. Such a fun place to workout at .

Great Customer service, everyone is friendly, the gym is clean and has great hours

It was very clean and professional. Great selection for workouts.

Nice people. very nice facility (basketball, movie exercise area, etc), plenty of specialty programs

I’m not a huge fan of golds gym because the last time I went there the equipment wasn’t kept very nice and the people at the front desk ignored me. They need better and cleaner equipment and more friendly faces.

We used to go to Gold's Gym before it changed companies and it's name. They were a great place to work out and had several classes that were great for getting a good work out.

Everything is great. People are awesome. Equipment all works properly. Place is clean.

They are an excellent gym, where I have gotten fit. My little issue is the lack of work out assistance that didn't cost additional money.

generally good customer service - great hours - very nice equipment - many friendly people.

very clean and very friendly staff. lots of classes and non-intimidating atmosphere

Excellent, nothing but compliments to this company and its employees. I have absolutely no complaints!

I have been a member of Gold's Gym in the past and they are great for someone like me who likes to go to the gym and work out and not have all the distractions and expensive options of some of the other gyms. But, they do have many options and all a person needs to work out and to get into shape.

I liked it when I belonged to Gold''s Gym down in Provo, close to BYU. There were always enough machines available even for a college town. I like the instructors who worked there. They seem to be up to date on the latest music and exercises available.

UPDATE: I HAVE BEEN PRESSURIZED BY GOLD'S ASHBURN MANAGEMENT TO TAKE THIS TRUTHFUL REVIEW DOWN. :) CAUTION: SERIOUS ADULT BULLYING HAPPENS HERE, trashy gym-jerks have control over the gym and the lying, unethical staff/management (some of whom are friends with these bullies) won't prevent it..won't take action! DO NOT JOIN THIS GYM IF YOU CARE ABOUT CIVILITY AND YOUR DIGNITY!! READ THIS REVIEW TO KNOW MORE. A POLICE REPORT HAS BEEN FILED AND APPROVED AGAINST THE BULLY/ASSAULTER. COPS HAVE SUGGESTED TO CALL THEM RIGHT AWAY IN CASE OF ANY OFFENSES/THREATS/AGGRESSION BY THE BULLY. It's unfortunate that after being a member for 5 years I had to experience the following. 1. First Offense: This bully, an arrogant bulky guy, verbally assaulted me using slang because I didn't leave a machine I was using on his random demand. He threatened me of physical assault as well. You don't expect such behavior from normal adults at a (believed to be) civil surrounding. Hence I reported the behavior to the available gym staff. Surprisingly the gym staff was reluctant to take any action and asked to just send an email to the General Manager of the gym. I insisted the staff to at least come and see who the person is. 2. Second Offense: The bully, showing his crude temperament, abused me again in front of the gym staff and people in the gym. I decided to not go down to the bully's low levels/giving up my civility and decided to hold back. The witnessing gym staff didn't say a word to prevent this. To my surprise the staff rather 'suggested' me to stay away from the bully/come back to the gym later as he'd like to avoid any 'physical incident' at the gym. I emailed the management and wrote a review on Yelp (where I had mentioned the bully's name but within a short time removed it on my own). After 2 weeks of following up the reluctant management finally agreed to give at least a warning to the bully. I was told by the management that the bully happens to be a long time member with many 'friends' at the gym so that's all they would do. The management insisted that I should get witnesses to prove my case as the bully already gathered some witnesses in his favor (funny...eh?). The gym staff was my witness but he backed out and lied since he didn't want to get into trouble. Looking at the inefficiency and lack of ethics by the management, I decided to cancel my membership after the current month to month cycle. Meanwhile, the bully continued to give me glares which I ignored. 3. Third Offense: After almost a month from the incident and my Yelp review, the bully suddenly approached me again when I was working out on my own and threatened me if I mention him on Yelp/online review (which was removed almost a month ago) or anywhere then he is going to have problems with me and I'm going to be in trouble. I tried avoiding him but he continued to follow me in the gym and give me threats. I reported it to the management. The management informed me that after seeing the CC TV footage they decided to terminate the bully's membership. I also filed a police report to prevent these kind of harassment from the bully, who didn't seem normal and a serial abuser. I thought since bully won't be in the gym anymore to create nuisances...it's OK to reinstate my membership. The management said, they should be able to do so and requested me to meet once. There began all the ridiculousness! It seems like the management never had plans to keep the bully out of the gym for long. They were in a false position since I considered getting back to the gym (and was supposed to find out the truth). They told me that the bully has been lobbying to ownership via his friends to get back to the gym. Hence, I might see him again soon (the ownership would be equally unethical to even entertain abusers like that). It was hilarious to see their sympathy for a persecutor/serial abuser than the victim who didn't break any rules and stayed civil. The management pressurized me to take down my Yelp review, which was hurting them even if it's completely true. They later informed me that due to my Yelp review on their gym the bully is having issues at work (works at some pest control company, which is unrelated to the gym) and with his family (seriously??). Hence, they don't feel like reinstating my membership (by that time which I didn't even want anymore after seeing their unethical practices). Either it was a lie by the bully or lame excuse by the management or both. In reality it was rather the management's vengeful retaliation because of my Yelp review. If you care about your dignity, peace of mind and safety. DO NOT join this gym. There are better alternatives in the area.

Never been disappointed with them or their products. Good atmosphere with clear thought out into it.

To expensive and to many additional costs. Had to cancel due to medical and felt rush into canceling before the 15th to prevent next months fee being added.

Heads up people: Do NOT use Golds Gym. Pass this along to protect others. They are SCAMMERS. I am canceling my membership and joining a REPUTABLE Gym. Here's their scam. They asked me if I wanted a personal trainer, and I said yes. They said it would $875.00 for a minimum of 3 months and I agreed. They said they would bill my credit card for 3 equal payments of $291.00. I agreed. Everything was going fine until I realized you can't cancel until they have billed at least $2000 ! They kept charging my card hundreds of dollars! I disputed the charges. They LIED to my credit card company saying I had signed a contract. I DID NOT. My credit card company tried to get Golds Gym to send them a copy of the contract for 6 months. There was NO contract, and now all the money has been credited to my account. The personal trainers are NOT part of the SCAM....they do a great job. Do not give Golds Gym your credit card number.

The gym provides excellent and knowledgeable trainers and the environment is set up well to get a great workout.

I received a pass to use the gym for free for a day. I am so glad it was free, because I never went back and don't intend to. It was so awkward and the employees were rude and could not answer my questions very well. Found a different gym to go to instead. It was well maintained though and had lots a great equipment.

Gold's Gym was in Utah prior to the Vasa takeover. I can confidently say that Gold's did a MUCH BETTER job at managing their facilities and equipment than Vasa.

Gold's Gym has a wide selection of equipment and good prices. Sometimes it's a little overcrowded but by avoiding peak hours it's easy to get a great workout in.
