Gold’s Gym

I love this location! The classes are awesome and they have plenty to choose from. There are sufficient cardio and weight equipment so you never have to wait around. I have never tested the smoothie bar but it seems to be a hit with other members. The only thing I would change is maybe upgrade the bathrooms.

Love golds. Been with them for over a year. Just wish they had better rates or student discounts

I work up here for the past two years
Great place I enjoy working out my favorite was RPM we Catherine Burt i’m going to miss everybody

I was previously a member of LA Fit for 7 years. Left to try Golds Dec. 14 – 13. As of today Mar. 20 – 14. I’m going back to LA Fit.
***this review does not reflect EVERYONES personal beliefs, morals or values. Mainly my own.
First the good: The amenities are fantastic though well worn. It’s clear this gym has been here for quite some time. Tanning, swimming, massive kids room, cross fit, free weights, machines, elliptical, bicycle, treadmill, second floor track, huge class room, intense cycle classes, and a soon to be added cross fit only side to the warehouse-​esque building. Mornings the gym is almost empty save the spin and group fit classes and can be a serious playground for the more focused health enthusiast. Evenings after 5pm can become thick but not overwhelmingly so like LA Fit.
Now the bad: the second stall in the men’s bathroom has a racially charged engraving. Now before you think it’s the archaic, ignorance scratch into the stall that upsets me (it does) but it’s the staffs response to my complaints about it that bother me even more.
1. Told a female at the counter. Suggested a sanding
— 1wk. Still there.
2. Told the manager Ericka (with aforementioned counter woman present)
–counter woman (she IS a nice person though): «I told Todd about that. He said it’s been there for awhile. «Ericka: «We will fix that. Sand it off… (Something like that)
It’s been there awhile? REALLY??? Common decency amongst a SH-​load of other reasons it should have been removed. WOW.
3. 3wks later… Still there…

I have yet to find something at Gold’s that I was looking for and they didn’t have. I have hired a trainer and also participated in a few of their boot camps.
After 5 it’s crowded from those getting off work to hit the gym, but early mornings and weekends are perfect. I have never had an issue with parking, but if you complain about having to park far from the entrance then you need to park far away anyway.
The locker room and steam room are always well maintained as are the restrooms. Rarely see out of service equipment. Nice to throw gear in the lockers as needed and not worry about anything.
I have not taken any official classes there but have heard nothing but good. They seem to maintain an active calendar with plenty to select from.
Through my employer, I have a great discount. If I were to come out of pocket, this might be a little pricey for me and I may opt to join a smaller, local gym. That’s the only reason I would knock this down from a 5 star to a 4 star rating.
