Gold's Gym

Pros: There are no pros to this gym.
Cons: Too many to make note of here.  Don't waste your money at this gym.

If I could give this gym chain negative stars I would.  Poor customer service, sketchy business practices.  I was lied to upon signing up for my membership and when I tried to cancel following the rules I was provided, I was not allowed to ...

Pros: Great facility, staff!  Great place to work out! 
Cons: Can't think of anything negative to say about this gym. 

I read the negative posts regarding Gold's Gym.  I wanted to say that we have had a very pleasant experience at our local Gold's Gym in Woodstock, GA.  They were open with us and let us read the contract. The gym itself is a very nice ...

Pros: Friendly staff, accepting atmosphere from other members.
Cons: This location is a little run down. 

I am a female and have been with Gold's now for about 4 months and am very pleased with it.  I am used to using military gyms and this came close to the same experience.  It seems to be favored by the local cops and military, with some ...

Pros: nice facilities, good equipment, good hours
Cons: customer serive is the worst
No early termination
they lie about your contract!

Think twice before you get a golds membership! They do have nice facilities, and everything you need to get a good work out, but remember that they put you under contract for at least a year... i made the mistake to get a 2 year contract. When I asked ...

Pros: Nice and new, steam room, sauna and tanning.
Cons: Lazy clueless employees there for a paycheck & could care less about you. 

Clean and nice place but the employees are clueless and are very lazy.  I was challenged by the assistant general manager Jessica about if I was serious (so she would not waste her time showing me around).  She didn't react ...

Pros: Suitable for travelers who are already Gold's members elsewhere.
Cons: Dirty. Facilities and equipment in poor repair. Peculiar contracts.

Albuquerque, New Mexico - There's a lot more wrong with this Gold's Gym than there is right. Here's a list of the things that have ticked me off during the 8 months I've been a member:Fluctuates between open 24 hours and open daily hours. When I ...

Pros: Close to home and work.
Movie theater in cardio room.
Cons: Will scam you
Nearly impossible to cancel.

If you take even 5 minutes to research, you will find plenty of reason to stay away from Gold's.  However, I know that you want to work out, they're convenient to your house or work and there really aren't any other convenient options.  I just ...

Pros: Great equipment, free weights, machines
Gym = Great.
Cons: Horrible business, uneducated staff, horrible corp office
Business = Horrible.

I would not recommend this gym to anyone. The way they handle business is horrible, there are hidden fee's in the beginning and through out the contract. Worse than Bank of America! The first year i was with Golds I got them to do a ...

Pros: Clean, well-equipped, motivational members, many locations worldwide.
Cons: Some locations more expensive than others.

All of the Gold's gyms mentioned here were very clean and well-maintained. Broken equipment was repaired quickly.Gold's Hollywood: This gym insists on absolute cleanliness at all costs, even if you break your neck by having vacuum cleaner cords wrap ...

Pros: I dint use the gym so would not know.
Cons: Dubious salesperson, 3 business days cancellation for yearlong contract.Unfriendly staff to discuss membership cancellation

I went in to sign the membership and the sales person went through the paper work quickly. I told him that I had a current membership with another gym and would need to cancel that first. He told me it would not be a problem and I can call him if I could ...

Pros: Many locations to choose from
Cons: Intimidating atmosphere, Rude corporate personnel

I was a member at the Gold's Gym in Merriam, KS for 10 years. I always paid my membership dues up front in full. After leaving the gym to try a new gym, I received a phone call that my account was 2 months overdue. Apparently even though I paid my dues ...

Pros: same equipment as every other gym.
Cons: dishonest, rude, unethical, unhelpful, etc.

I recently returned home to Texas for the summer, after living in Utah to attend college. I wanted to cancel my membership, so I called the gym I had a membership at and asked to have my account cancelled. They said that they couldn't cancel it there, ...

Pros: large variety of fun workout classes, cinema room, focused and hardcore enviornment
Cons: passes are expensive, long term, and staff can be pushy and manipulative when selling passes.

Don't get me wrong, i love gold's. I've been a member for a long time, but recently when my pass expired and i came back in to get a new one, it was a hassle. I felt like the guy wasn't listening to what i wanted, and kept telling me about all these ...

Pros: The Gym appears to be clean.
Cons: Dishonest, unprofessional, like dealing with the mob.

For anyone reading, this is a repost. I encountered a glitch that was posting my review under two (nearly identical) names, which has since been fixed and is now under the correct name. However, I believe this one is important enough to re-post, if for ...

Pros: The only Pros I can think of benefit the company financially.
Cons: This company has a bad record with the Better Business Bureau.

There is a good reason for them to have an unsatisfactory recorded with the Better Business Bureau in Sterling VA. First, it’s impossible to cancel your membership even if you pay all of their fees. I went to cancel my membership on 1/21/08 and paid ...
