Gold’s Gym

Terrible hours… but the gym is always clean and the layout is great. I’ll be searching for a new gym solely on the fact that they don’t have a stair master and their hours are shitty. If they extended their hours to open at 430am and close at midnight… and added a stair master or 2 this gym would be the best

I been a member at Gold’s Gym for over 3 years now. Love the staff there. They have been very supportive (minus one person, but I notice they also disappeared very quickly). I like that it has a little of everything: swimming pool, indoor track, indoor courts, lots of classes, full weight rack and benches, lots of different strength machines, and so many cardio machines you can find something you want in now time. Overall, awesome experience.
Okay, so this didn’t get 5 stars for two reasons. One is that it feels over-​crowded which becomes a problem for strength training. I feel like it is every man for himself to get that machine you had your eyes on. Often, I find that a group of people will take over the last of a machine and spend 15 – 30 minutes hogging it to themselves. Also, the hours (especially on weekends). While I am glad they open at 5 a.m. they close way to early at night. Their weekend hours are worse. They are barely open on Saturday and closed on Sundays. From other comments I read, the Sunday closing may be the building’s rules and not the decision of Gold’s Gym… meaning they won’t be able to change that.

A pretty good place, but let’s break it down:
The pool: Cool — there is one. It’s shorter than a normal pool, but there is one and that’s what’s important. There’s lanes at the bottom of the pool, but not everyone knows how to use them so I wish there were lanes as it gets pretty clogged in the morning.
The classes: Spin classes are choiiiice. The pseudo yoga thing (BodyFlow) is a great decompressor — I used to hit it up during lunch time, which was a nice way to break up the day — you basically get a nap at the end of class, so SCORE.
The equipment: This is where I take serious issue. I’m all about lots of treadmills and some easy circuit work — leg presses, the bar thingy that you pull down, etc., but I’m more of a free weight girl myself. I like to squat, deadlift, yada yada yada. There’s a total of two squat racks. And there’s about 10 square feet of space to do anything related to body weight movements. There is an indoor track, which is nice, but again, please with the equipment already.
Ans that’s all there is to say about that.

It’s been awhile since I’ve been to a gym, but Golds was giving away a free week pass and this one had a pool, and hot tub, no brainer. Was greeted by the staff when I walked in. Told her I had downloaded a free pass, she said of course, she got me a pass then … and this was the only sales pressure I got, she stated if you like it, your first month is only 10 dollars. Which I quickly stated yeah but how much after? She said it’s 32 a month, no contract! Well ok, so I looked around the facility and fell in love. In fact I stayed 3.5 hours, I walked, biked, swam, crunched, (over did that, stomach still hurts) sat in the hot tub. It was a good day, towel rental was a buck that’s reasonable. Nice job Golds nice job!

This gym was here when I needed it the most, but it’s not the best…
Terrible hours:
Monday-​Thursday closes at 10.
Closed Sunday’s.
Could be a Utah thing.
The equipment is nice but the staff isn’t friendly.

I used to love this gym and then I moved to Chicago. trying to cancel my membership, after my contract was up, was an absolute nightmare. The gym was nice, however, management was absolutely clueless. I was passed around from person to person and the people I needed to talk with were never available. Finally, after a 3 month struggle, I was able to cancel.

This is the best gym that I have been in. They have an indoor basketball court, pool, smash ball room, track and several other amenities.

I have lived in numerous places over the past three years. This gym by far has the most terrible hours I have ever seen. Maybe it’s not their call though. Maybe it’s another silly utah law or something. But regardless. This gym is always packed full to the brim. And the broish mentality there is quite annoying. I would recommend this gym to you only if you have no other options.

Free admission on the 23^rd and 24^th of December. The gym has everything you need and is very well updated as well.

Ive been a member for a little over a year. Place can get pretty busy but its a large gym so it can accommodate. All the equipment is pretty good and they are constantly trying to update and keep with the trends (TRX, Crossfit knockoffs, etc.) The biggest downfall is the fact that its a Gold’s Gym and you have to deal with their corporate BS.

I would first like to mention that this location is not open on Sundays. I have had a Gold’s Gym membership for 3 years previously at the very nice Van Winkle location and decided I would like to renew my membership in the Ogden location, as that is where I now reside. I had called the Van Winkle gym on Sunday to get an idea of the cost for a year membership would cost if paid for up front in full. The nice man on the other end of the line enthusiastically told me that a two year membership would cost $ 400 dollars. I was on board, and decided to call my local (Ogden) gym to see if they would also honor this price. The woman on the other end of the phone informed me that the price for a one year membership is$ 448.08. This price is just $ 37.43 (regular monthly price) x 12. I got off the phone and felt there had to be some sort of mistake, I would like to pay the year in advance, and, like most businesses like this be offered a price break. When I called back I had asked for a salesperson to see if I could clear this up. I eventually got on the phone with Dustin, who very rudely told me to just sign up in Salt Lake if they have the better price. I just wanted to know why the price was double in Ogden and if we could work something out. I was told several times, and very condescendingly, that they area franchise and have different pricing. Whenever I tried to ask a question (about the pricing, if they have a pay in full break, amenities, etc.) I was cut off and told they are a different franchise. I get it. I am an adult and understand, but I am also a customer who would like to give you my money. I have never felt so badly treated by a company representative to whom I was trying to give business. I guess they don’t need anymore. Don’t subject yourself to this poor treatment and find alternative means of working out.

Ya buddy!!! Great place to get your sweat on!!!
