Gold’s Gym

Somethings up with this joint. Sauna does has not and still does not work well and billing is full of hidden charges and mistakes. Place Charges you $ 100 to get out of contract. Is this place ever going to get finished?

I really can’t say enough about this gym. I am so pleased with the level of positive customer service I have received since I joined in September. Andrea Gois is an awesome trainer! The front desk staff are always super helpful and friendly. From the morning staff to the evening you will be greeted and taken care of well by: Desiree, Nando, Tony, Jen, Michellee, Alex, Evan, Shane, Cory, TC and several others.
I highly recommend checking out this gym for any level of weight lifter and cardio lover.
Thank you!!!

Wow very clean and perfect equipment. Came here from out of town and bought a couple day passes. Can’t miss a workout and my normal gym (24 hour) was nowhere in sight. Don’t like 24 anyways to be honest (before you bash me I have access to all the clubs so I’ve had good and bad clubs), it’s more of a convenience since I travel. Ok back to the review, gym was very clean, bright and the staff was very friendly. I called ahead and the phone service was also professional and friendly. Worked out for two days. I saw the cardio equipment was nice/​new but went for the weights. Everything was new/​high quality and they even had bumper plates for those who like oly work. This really was impressive as 24 hour is behind the times on this. Tons of areas/​bars for pull ups. I did witness a personal trainer and they appeared to be providing good advice. I noticed the trainer was actually in shape as was most of the staff. I usually get a good laugh at 24 hour when the trainer is sporting a muffin top. The locker rooms were very clean and nice with tons of lockers. I would join this gym if I lived here. Basically it spoiled me for going back home. Side note, on my way out I thanked them and a manager or employee named David shook my hand and was very appreciative for the business. Felt way more friendly then my normal gym experiences. Definitely deserves 5 stars, go check them out.

This is a trashy gym operated by trifling scumbags! In my contract it states I can cancel my gym membership at any time & receive my money back, so long as I never used the gym, and cancelled it yet never received my money back! It’s been three months already & the general manager «Tony Macias» tells me: «We’re a franchise, privately owned, I’m trying to get your money back»!!! Don’t get robbed from these thieves! If you want an honest quality gym go to InShape, they have many locations to choose from!

From what I gather, people waited a very long time for the gym to open. It was great. There were very few people there. The benches all brand new padding. There were all the machines you needed. They have a set up for T-​bar rows, and squat racks. The members who were there were obviously serious about bodybuilding. It wasn’t all about how much they could bench but muscular development, definition, and symmetry. The locker rooms aren’t quite finished, but as long as I can take a shower after my workout, I’m good.

Finally open! Very nice and clean so far, still technically under construction (locker rooms, etc.) I’m told.
They need to work on customer service big time. No one seems to know how to work the machines and for someone that hasn’t been to a gym in a long time, their help was very insufficient.
Considering the town/​area that this gym is in… I’m hoping they will realize (as promised) that the clientele will be a different demographic than their usual body builder gyms. Monterey has large population of retirees and I hope they can focus some of their efforts there. If not, it will fail and continue to be a large empty gym.

Construction delays and under-​promised opening dates aside we finally get a look inside the new Gold’s Gym in Monterey. I joined in March and was told they would open in June. The grand opening was this week.
This is a typical Gold’s with modern exercise machines and sharp contemporary interior design. It is not a super sized gym but it’s definitely not a hole in the wall. For my purposes it is just big enough. I like the layout.
Free weights and machines are generally towards the back, cardio nearer the front. The showers are not ready for use but looking inside the the locker room you can see they are close.
I am impressed with the variety of weight machines. Some are newer designs that incorporate some bowflex-​type technology that put less strain on joints. Very nice. The free weight area and available weights is impressive as well. I’ve never seen such a collection of dumbbells.
Management directs patrons to carry around their own towel for wiping down machines but they do have wipes available for disinfecting machines after use.
The front desk staff at 5:00 on Sunday morning were cheery and welcoming.
My only knock on this facility is parking. It is not a problem now but during the holiday season it is going to be tough to find a spot with shoppers and movie goers jamming the mall.

Wtf! Wasn’t open till now and I joined in jan!!!, if that’s not enough the locker rooms still aren’t ready! Saw dust everywhere!, no towels & bad service! Also when I joined they Promised me that they would be open till midnight everyday!!! They lied and I am very upset!
