San Francisco "'Gay' Gold's" not for "tinky winkys"

by pmason , Nov 18 '00
Pros: quality gym with many machines and quality classes..
Cons: too much employee turnover..
Did that title grab ya?! :). Actually this SF, CA gym is for everyone, and that is what I like about it. This Epinions focuses on Gold's Gym generally and specifically on the Gold's Gym in San Francisco(SF), California, Brannan Street location (managed...

Golden Palace

by jpk1121 , Oct 02 '02
Pros: Modern, up-to-date equipment.
Cons: No nationwide access, My home location was almost a year overdue for completion.
No pun intended in the title. I joined Gold's Gym as they were building a new location in my neighborhood. Gold's is an excellent facility, but there are a few shortfalls to it. We were offered access to some other Gold's facilities, but that ...

Great place if you are serious

by nicksmac , Oct 07 '02
Pros: Machines,people and motivation!
Cons: Real serious people
It's a wonderful place to workout and if you are serious. Not a place to meet other people - people look so unfriendly. No jacuzzi or sauna. The machines are well kept. They do play a variety of music now.

I joined it 10 years ago. I am a...

Golds Gym in Phoenix a Good Option

Hardcore pumping action!

by puffeteer , Aug 05 '00
Pros: A serious atmosphere dedicated to hardcore, committed fitness
Cons: leaning more toward the mainstream lately
This gym rules. Plain and simple. And I'm not a bodybuilder. Ever since I started training at the gym, Gold's has been my destination of choice. I've tried a few other clubs, like The Right Stuff and Ronnie Lott's Fitness Center in San Jose. None of...

A Golden Ticket In Eugene Or.

by jamijay , Apr 27 '06
Pros: clean. good equipment. plenty of cardio machines. Great childcare center.
Cons: Customer service!!!!! Customer service !!!!! Customer service!!!!!
In the beginning, just walking into the gym, was intimidating; Let alone working out in it. However with each and every day that passed I began to feel more comfortable. It's true, Golds Gym is NOT a place to "Meet and Greet". It is a no nonsense ...

Gold's Gym in Oakland, California

by Lighthouse , Jun 19 '00
Pros: Lots of equipment and a very serious workout atmosphere
Cons: More for staying in shape, rather then GETTING in shape
Over the years, I've belonged to my fair share of gyms and health clubs. To me, there seem to be two distinct differences: some have overweight people as members, and others don't.

I will admit that I was a bit intimidated at first by the...

Gold's gym

by slicko , Apr 17 '08
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 ...

A Letter Becomes it.

by irishgurl1979 , Jun 11 '01
Pros: Lots of weights, good equipment.
Cons: A terrible member letter and few aerobics classes.
While I was off for summer break last year, I joined Gold's Gym. I was very impressed with the amount of equipment they had and the help of its' staff. I went to Gold's Gym for 3 months and was completely happy.

Until...
I was happy...

Muscle Heads

by immy44 , Jul 07 '00
Pros: Cheap!
Cons: Muscle Heads and Large Crowds
I am surprised that there are actual great reviews for Gold's Gym. I really have nothing good to say about that gym except that it's cheap. The ones that I have been too are filled with idiots on steroids. I can not stand working out next to ole juice...

Re: Gold's Gym, the mecca...

by lvfitness , Sep 29 '00
Pros: nice facilities, good equipment, easy access
Cons: untrained staff, little safety elements (like no CPR certified staff)
I'm sorry, perhaps I am just too opinionated today, but I cannot sit here and allow someone to mislead the public.

Now, before I get started, let me state that I am loyal, long time member of Gold's gym and have nothing but praises for the...

Good appearance, Bad service

by angryandy , Jun 30 '06
Pros: excellent equipment
Cons: rude staff, lying sales personnel in Northern Virginia locations run by Rapheal
Firstly, let me start off by saying that I have been a loyal customer of several Gold's Gyms over the past eight years. I take working out seriously, and Gold's generally seems to offer the best equipment, service, locations and hours. However, I would ...

Tarnished Gold

by Lorelord , Jul 13 '00
Pros: Low fees, Good equipment, Classes
Cons: Low quality staff, bad ventilation, Warehouse looks
I've been into fitness for some 10 years now. I am currently with the military and travel from place to place quite often. And in my travels I have been to and seen many Gold's Gyms. Now the name may requisition old prestige and strong standards, but...

For Golden Boys or The Golden Girls?

by SAEGOOSE , Jul 07 '00
Pros: State of the art equipment, many extras
Cons: quality varies by gym, price can be outrageous at some
One must really take the time to check out a gym thoroughly before joining. One caveat I'd offer to anyone looking join a gym is to not join simply based on name recognition. Gold's Gym is a prime example. While the stereotype is that Gold's Gym is a...

Consider This Before Joining Gold's Gym

by hwz1 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jun 14 '00
Pros: Serve a specific market, lots of free weights, good staff
Cons: Only for the experienced, lots of free weights, intimidating atmosphere
Does Gold's Gym conjure up images of massive men wearing tights that ripple with muscles? It should, because that is what Gold's is know for and best at providing.

Gold's Gym is the largest international health and fitness center in the...
