Gold's Gym

I first joined Gold's in November 2014. It was a smaller location and express but I was fine with this as I don't need to pay for extra amenities. I joined because I wasn't feeling challenged at a local women's only gym and although I was intimidated about working at a gym known more for bodybuilding, the manager at the time assured me everyone was there doing their thing and I would be okay.

I was a member of this gym for over 4 years. I cancelled my membership when I moved out of town and the gym continued to bill me after cancelling. I will never do business with these folks again. Buyer beware.

BEWARE- SCAMMERS. Fraudulent Charges. The management at this gym are completely unresponsive, rude and complicit in fraudulent charges to credit cards. Note I paid extra at this gym for a "no-contract option". When my credit card expired they charged me 117% biweekly late fees for 2 months. When I went to settle the account for the monthly fees due, they charged me over $180 for less than two months. When I told them that was outrageous and requested a refund they told me that was against their corporate policy. The manager also told me that I needed to learn to suck up to her or she would refuse to stop charging my credit card. She said she would "get back to me" but the gym did not get back to me...

Well maintained and well equipped. The minimal cost per month allows my membership and possibility to keep in shape. The cleanliness is exceptional and all of staff are always courteous and friendly.

Management removed the only machine that actually helped with my lower back pain, and the only machine that has no equivalent. Manager not understanding and not interested.

They have a staff of personal trainers and the sessions are affordable. There are nutrition products and small stores for supplies. At most facilities there is a swimming pool and hot tub. At the Legacy Trails near my home there is a basketball court and two racquetball courts. All of the facilities have lockers rooms and showers. I am greeted by the desk staff when I arrive and they wish me a nice day and thank you when I leave. Ample free parking. Child care center for those with small children. I have witnessed on several occasions older children working out WITH their parents.

I got RIPPED $1159.00! I signed up at the gym on 01/24/2013 cause I suffer from Ankylosing spondylitis so therefore I added a 24 class of PT on 01/27/13 to help me workout properly cause of my spinal disorder, so I got 1 class with him and then I was gonna go for the 2nd class but unfortunately The PT quit or got relocated, cause of that my policy got cancelled, and then I got another agreement on 05/31/2014. A 5 pack for $299 which I paid in full and took those classes with another PT.

I had been doing Gold’s boot camps for months and thought per their website and advertisements they were led by trained or certified coaches. In March, during a class outside on Gold’s property the coach set up an agility ladder in a hole. I was unfortunately the first one in the group to go that night (twisted ankle and strain calf). Her negligence cost me missed work, medical bills, etc. I asked the manager if Gold’s would help cover some of the medical bills/expenses and the answer was no. We workout at our own risk is what he explained to me. I paid extra for Boot Camp and it was not at all what I thought I was getting. I expected a coach to show me how to workout and how to properly use equipment without getting hurt. I couldn’t work out for a month and the manager knew it but wouldn’t even credit that. Gold’s only cares about monthly dues not their members!!

The managers here are people friendly, especially Eric and the GM **. The Body Pump class with Hugo is rewarding as is the Water Fitness class with Susan and Sarah. There are over 30 Gold's Gyms in town but we prefer the Lockhill Village location.

Gold's is a real gym, the others are "fitness centers". I was a member of 24 Hour Fitness for years and the price kept going up and up. They hired a security guard and would not tell me why, the staff rarely was friendly or even spoke to me. At Gold's I feel really comfortable and welcome and the staff is great as well as the equipment and the price is phenomenal.

It’s very convenient and there’s multiple locations on my way home from work. Most of the gyms are pretty clean. The hot tub is the perfect size on Cedar Creek in Cedar Park, Texas but not hot enough. This seems to be a problem at most Gold's. But they have a good variety of equipment which I really like.

A few years back I had signed up for Gold's Gym. Went two times in the beginning and then told them I wanna cancel my membership. They told me it was all set and canceled. Later on I got a call saying I owed them after I thought everything was squared off. At least that's what I was told. I went in and they told me I owe I believe it was about 500.00. Have to go in my files and get the paperwork. I went in and the guy told me if I sign this paper and open a new account he will take off the bill and tell collections. Collections called me many times and every time I went back to Gold's Gym and they told me that everything is all set. I don't owe anything.

Prices changed on classes. My contact was up so cancelled in Jan but they didn't cancel in timely matter. I was told last payment on 2/16/18, nope, two more payments came out in March. I have called several times and getting runaround, here we are in mid May no answer when. Bad business. They need their money to run a business and I paid but don't care. I am retired and need my money too.

I don't know anything about Gold's Gym other than it's on my credit report. I have never been nor would I go. I dunno if they just let people use other people's identity or what? Sad they let this happen when it's affecting my credit.

I went to this gym because it seemed simple, affordable and close to home. The initial staff were very friendly and helpful. I moved out of the state and went through the ridiculous cancellation process of mailing a letter to ABC financial TWICE. They charged me for November and December when I wasn't even living in the state or country anymore. ABC assured me that they would put an immediate stop payment and fix this issue.

Gold's Gym seems to be fast losing its original charm. The branch at Pune, Hadapsar, India which we joined seems only to focus on saving cost. Complaints either go unattended or at best partly attended. Each year for instance Swim pool is not regularly filtered. Shower rooms don't work and have broken latches and knobs for months at stretch. The Manager there has very good lung power and thus most customers are made to shut up and give up. Survival strategy seems to be by getting new enrollment, even though short-lived, as opposed to working on long-term members. It is Time the Gold Gym HQ took some interest to rekindle the lost glory.

Gold's it's not just a gym - it's a mindset. I've experienced other gyms, never longer than a year. Gold's is what I call my home away from home. I simply do not believe any bad reviews because I know this family since joining in 2009, and they are accommodating to their members. Look, you can go to another gym and feel hallow. Or you can join a team/ family... If you want support, you get it. If you wanna just work out and be left alone, you can have that too. I can talk forever, but the 1 way to find out for yourself is get over there and see for yourself. It cost nothing for a free pass!

I joined Gold's Gym a few months ago at the Baxter and Clayton Rd location in St. Louis, MO. This location used to be 24 Hour Fitness which I was a member years ago. I never had the following issues. 1) Men's Locker Room: Some of the inside of the lockers have a sign not to use the lockers with a personal lock because it's easy for others to break into them and instead, members should use their rental lockers with built-in locks. When I first joined, I asked if such lockers were available and the salesperson said that members need to bring their own locks. 2) Many of the lockers on the inside are damp and have leftover items in it. I have complained and was advised they only clean out lockers before close or early in the morning but no more.

My experience with Gold's began with my checking out the month-to-month with no app fee online offer. When I got to the pay screen, up popped 2 months charges, not just one, so I did not press enter to pay, I deleted all my credit card info and backed completely out of the site. A couple of weeks later, there were Gold's Gym charges on my credit card (the card I never actually entered) - charges for a bit more than 2 months. I went to the gym and was told that wasn't possible, they said they could see that I attempted to sign up but I had not completed it! You can't get out of there without a lengthy spiel - okay, I must go online to request a refund and I could then sign up for the month-to-month. I did so, but there was no month-to-month with free application anymore - now it had to be a 4 month contract. Like a fool, I signed up. (The gym is practically at my back door and so convenient.)

Absolute WORST customer service experience I've ever encountered from a gym. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR A MEMBERSHIP!!! They do not hold their employees accountable. I spoke to an employee who failed to disclose pertinent information regarding the terms of the contract so he could get that quick new membership notch on his belt. Management refused to even apologize for his employee's actions. I asked if the employee that lied to me would be sat down and management said no. Management said that Gold's Gym offers excellent training!

I just found out that the facility in Phillipsburg, NJ allowed a minor to sign a membership contract, not only for herself, but her boyfriend as well. We all moved to NC and they were also told the contract would be cancelled if they moved to an area where there isn't a facility. They keep contacting these kids after my husband contacted the facility, ABC Financial (payment processing), and corporate. Nobody seems to care that Chelsea broke the law by allowing a minor to enter into a contract and now nobody will cancel it. I emailed the liaison between the company and the facility and did not get a response. She was also told when she signed up that she couldn't have a copy of the contract because she was a minor. Imagine that.

Staff is non engaged at least with a carefree attitude. As in stay, go, or whatever you like just don't disturb my phone time. The facility is clean. The folks doing that seem dedicated to that. Very good. Upkeep- if it works ok if not we get to it one day. Customer satisfaction is 0. Local management isn't going to answer emails, complaints, or anything of that nature. Hours, again keep dwindling to less. Value poor. Current access and facilities would be a value at 15.00 A month. There are so many negative reviews on Google and here but yet nothing is followed up on.

I joined this gym and signed up for a trainer, terrible mistake!!! I had health issues, a car accident and two deaths in my family from out of state requiring back and forth travel to help out prior to losing them. I guess these things happen when you age. This gym never gave me copies of any contract I signed. None!! I tried to get online. Found someone associated with Gold's Gym that I thought was helping me - they disappeared after several emails. I finally managed to get to their website and found one contract, the gym, printed it out and discovered I needed to call the gym. I did and was informed I needed to send a certified, notarized letter or come in person to cancel. This is approaching ridiculous now.

Was very happy with Gold's Gym Live Oak, all instructors and staff welcoming and positive. Little did I realize what a high bar they set until moved to Hill Country Village. Classes canceled without reflecting on the website, amplified by a "Who cares," attitude by staff. Finally canceled membership right after Christmas. Manager says they are charging me another month because I canceled with 29 days notice instead of 30 days notice. "Sorry" is not only the manager's reply, it is the quality of service.

Today been kick out from Hurghada branch of Gold's Gym as they start to work just at 3 pm because all Staff is praying. Firstly no one told me while I made membership that gym is working from 3 pm at Fridays, Second, I really wonder why they can't have a Christian employee to handle facility working at Friday, why should I waste half of my day off because of someone's religious reason, And last - why I have to be kicked out of cafe zone in gym where I planning waiting until 3 pm, it's abusing and so rude attitude, I wonder how such a well known brand as Gold's Gym left such a poor management to Egyptian branch.

Few times a year I would freeze my account due to traveling. This time I did two week in advanced. However I notice that they charge me, however the whole thing is mean they supposed to not charge! So I called them and they playing dumb, like they never got my email, I sent them a copy of original that I sent, they keep playing dumb. Asking me to sent them an email that will show email that I use. Such a waste of my time. I hate this gym and now their customer service!!! Never had issues with 24 Hour Fitness, except they closed for remodeling. Cannot wait for them to open again!!!

I have a contract at Gold's Gym Laval that started when the gym opened. I recently moved to another city far from the gym and won't be able to go to the gym anymore. I requested a cancellation but I kept getting a very hard time with the employees at the gym and sometimes a rude service. Transferring my membership is not a very good option, my contract is for 9.99$ but when I transfer it becomes 18.99$ for the new member instead of the current price of 23.99$ which is not very enticing PLUS there is a 49$ + tx fee! I am really disappointed with the service I am getting especially since I really have no way of going to this gym since I am now living too far from it.

Myself and my fiance decided we would like to join a gym here in Montclair CA. I had received some emails for free trials so we picked Gold's Gym to go look at, as soon as we both walked in the door we felt like we were at a car lot, there were 8 or 9 young men at tables waiting to sign you up. Don't get me wrong. The gym is very nice but here is where it gets uncomfortable, by the time we did the walk through tour sat back down to talk about our free trial.

I have NEVER belonged to Gold's Gym Santa Barbara - yet every 2 months I receive a voice message that my credit card expired and I need to call the Goleta or downtown gyms to update my credit card. When I call the manager to complain, they check, apologize and then ask me if I want a week at the club to make it up to me! I NEVER said yes. Is this a tactic to bring in new business? Disgusting and unethical. Such a hassle for me to keep calling them back. They never stop!

I have a month-to-month membership to Gold's Gym. I have called the gym to cancel my membership and was told that only the manager can cancel the membership. I've called and emailed the manager, but have not had any reply. It's now passed the 30 day notification. This is unacceptable. It's like Gold's Gym does not want it to be easy to cancel. I will not recommend anyone to Gold's Gym.
