Gold's Gym

Pros: Spacious, and lots of equipment
Cons: TOOOO EXPENSIVE and male staff members NOT helpful at all

In the Lakeland, FL location the want over $900 PER PERSON for a one year membership. I just moved up here. At my other location I was only charged $150 every THREE months so I was quite shocked at the Lakeland location prices. It works out even more ...

Pros: the gym was clean to workout in
Cons: Contracts, Ray Cupp and the rest of Sales, lack of customer service

This is the worst CON I've ever experienced. So you want to work out, but you move around a lot because of your job and you need a Month-to-Month Contract. No problem right? WRONG!!! Don't ever sign with Gold(diggers)GYM. They tell you everything you ...

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: Absolutely NONE !!!
Cons: EVERYTHING !!!

I signed up with Golds Gym in Totowa NJ back in August of 2004. I signed a contract for 13 months as sold to me by one of the sales reps named Joe. As I was looking over the contract I noticed it was worded kind of funny. The contract said it expired ...

Pros: free weights, good looking girls, ok machines
Cons: very expensive, not a gym a social scene, limited cardio

Golds gym is pretty equiped with free weights that one needs in order to get a complete workout. the only thing is, when you go in there, all it is is a social scene. it seems like people are only there to hang out and talk what is going on that night....

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: 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...

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: Average installations
Cons: Canceling your membership is a real nightmare

I was going to Gold's Gym Boston. It was OK, nice installations. I needed to work out at sunrise because at peek hrs (6pm-8pm) the place was full and the stink was unbearable. Anyways, where this company really screw up was on the cancellations...

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 ...

Pros: Friendly, Variety in Classes and Equipment
Cons: Needs to be open later on weekends

Doesnt everyone join a gym for the New year? I admit, I am one of them.
I joined the closest gym there was, which happened to be Golds Gym. I was scared to death, I had seen so many *meat market* gym's, and I only wanted to go to work on my self...

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: nice facilities, name brand recognition, some contract flexibility
Cons: higher prices, also a little less privacy (the Gold's near me is located in a shopping mall, and has all glass walls, so EVERYbody can see you!!)

Because it is the contract that you will end up being angry with. I am a great proponent of 'let the buyer beware', and I notice that people tend to get bamboozled when signing up for health clubs, especially if they are convenient and have name...

Pros: They sure had great quality workout equipment.
Cons: Your credit card will be charged even after you canceled!

Me and my husband were members of Gold's Gym in Florida for an entire year. A few months after our yearly contract expired, we decided to cancel the membership, and following their requirements, completed and signed a letter to authorize the ...

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...
