Gold’s Gym

It’s not a bad gym, lots of equipment and classes, the reason for 1 star is that after speaking to the fast-​talking Sales Manager, Tracy, over the phone to ask for rates, I was told only if you come into the gym. Since I had already been in the gym as a guest once with a friend, I felt like I didn’t need to return just to get a monthly rate. But she just kept repeating herself that all her rates are discussed in person, in case you have questions. This sounded like a sales tactic. Other gyms I called were glad to give me pricing information over the phone. Sorry, Gold’s Gym, high pressure gym membership sales went out in the 80’s. I’m going with a gym that gives me the feeling that they really care about me.

I love this gym! Manager and staff are wonderful! This gym offers a lot and the prices are great.

Was advised when signing on that this gym was month to month. They are charging for a year contract for my add on (husbands membership) but not the main membership holder. It was sold to me that both members would be month to month with a minimum of four months but that was a joke. They haven’t sent me a single doc to prove otherwise and are still charging me for a year.”

Trying to cancel any gym is tough but this place is ridiculous. Been trying to cancel our membership for 3 months and they keep billing. Now I try and cancel again and they say it takes a month to get through corporate and they will bill you again. Clean gym but service is not good. Guy told me at Fenton’s Gold «As adults we have all been over billed and welcome to life and it just happens» What the heck. If I knowingly overbill someone, I always make adjustments and I do it myself personally because its the «right» thing to do and apologize more than once on top of it. I finally had to call my credit card company and file protest and cancel all future charges. Hopefully, this works. UGh

Love this gym! The place is massive, and it has so much to offer. The classes are great, and I thoroughly recommend taking a few. You won’t be disappointed. My favorite part of this gym, bar far, is the sauna. It feels great either before or after your workout, and has amazing health benefits! The only bad thing I can say about this gym is that it’s parking lot frequently gets crowded at its peak hours, and that most of the showers won’t warm up for a good while… Other than that, it’s a great place! Plus, a gym membership will get you access to any Gold’s gym in the area, so if you don’t absolutely love one gym, you can check out the variety of others! They’re all different :)

Not my favorite gym but doesn’t super suck either. It’s spacious so seldom seems crowded. Wish the straight bars and EZ curl bars came in increments of 5 lbs though. People are total asshats when it comes to putting equipment and attachments away. Very limited stretching space. Relatively clean. The staff always looks like their lives suck and they’d rather be anywhere but there. Except for the big African American dude, he’s super friendly and he always greets and bids farewell his a friendly demeanor.
I haven’t taken any classes here because they don’t interest me. The cardio theater is nice and kept at a cool temp. Haven’t used the pool either. Locker rooms are well maintained and always seem clean.
I highly prefer Xist, it’s the cleanest and most well maintained gym I’ve ever been to. But the late hours of Gold’s are appreciated so I have memberships at both

I was actually very surprised. Did you Missouri good sized well had all the appropriate equipment very clean. Staff was very friendly. It was a joke basketball court. Entrance fee for four people was only $ 25 so they’re not trying to rip you to fuck off which is nice. And we got shakes made and the shakes are good. I recommend this place

My sanctuary.
Most of the staff is very pleasant and welcoming. The male manager is extremely dry, less than friendly and matter-​of-​fact.
The equipment here is pretty good however, there’s always at least 1 Stepper out of order at any given time. The pool, hot tub and sauna are well kept.

When I signed up for the membership, I was told 2 hours for kids club. As soon as I had the baby, it turned out to be 1 hour up to one year. This rule is not in the agreement, writing or posted anywhere so that the potential buyer can make a sound decision.

I am counting the days for my gym membership to be up at this place! I moved to the area and unfortunately signed up at the new Gold’s gym in Manchester taking advantage of their grand opening promos. I assumed all Gold’s would be comparable but they are not. First of all Fenton Gold’s is very outdated with pasty yellow and rust décor which isn’t necessarily a deal breaker for me but it does seem to add to the lesser than positive environment. The gym is very dirty if you look around the machines there’s dust bunnys and wrappers empty bottles ect… the members have no gym etiquette what so ever plates are left on the machines, equipment doesn’t get wiped off and attachments are laying around everywhere. Which has recently been addressed creating a new rule of keeping the aerobics room locked at all times. There’s very limited areas to stretch or warm up and the aerobics room was great for that. Other major down falls to this gym is they do not have half weights such as 17.5 22.5 27.5 ect… the straight bar and easy bars are the same weights instead of one set being whole numbers and others half. There’s only one easy bar and rope attachments and they are typically very hard to locate. A couple cable pulleys stick. Cardio equipment is old, most cross ramp settings on the ellipticals do not adjust. A couple of the step mill machines slip especially going at higher intensities. The gym is overall poorly laid out the cable machine and benches are all close to the mirrors causing high traffic and the L shape layout having smith machines around the corner away from everything makes it hard to super set. And you most certainly can’t leave your phone laying around (using it for music) because I was informed a couple people had their phones stolen… which is real comforting. When I attempted to use the hot tub there was a water aerobics class going on and they told me I wasn’t allowed to use it because it’s too loud. Last but not least this gym closes on the weekend. I’m an early riser and this gym doesn’t open till 7AM which is late for me. I came from 24 fitness and didn’t realize gyms these days are not 24hs or offer key fob.

do not use pool or jacuzzi… tainted with soooo many chemicals your skin will scream at you… yes. using all caps cause my $ 50.00 suit top is ruined after 20 minutes.
i complained to the mgr. los of shrugging of shoulders and mumbled bring in the receipt..

Gold’s gym is the best chain gym I’ve found in STL. The differnent locations makes working out convenient wherever you are in STL. My only issue with the Fenton location was the several months back their was no hot water. THis continued for what seemed like 6 months despite management’s knowledge of the issue. Everyone was really ticked! Other than that I have really enjoyed being a member.

This gym is more or less brand spankin’ new. So, it hasn’t gotten that gross, sweaty, gym smell to it yet. There is a ton of parking, so no worries about that, and there are a thousand machines, so you never have to fight to get one, which is really nice.
Bonuses:
(1) The pool is sparkling… I have attitude about pools too, so you should be impressed by any endorsement by me.
(2) movie theater… yep…in the gym… why is this a bonus… well, this one is in the dark… so if you feel like you look horrid when you work out, no one has to know…
(3) Guests… they are awesome about just letting them in without charging…
(4) it’s a golds… so you still get the entertainment of the HUGE over muscled men pumping way too much iron… who doesn’t get a chuckle out of that?
