Gold’s Gym

Great gym I go to Golds all over the US. Only two squat racks but nobody user them. Trap bar. And for gosh sakes they now have a Reverse Hyper. My home gym doesn’t even have one. Now they just need some Roman chairs. Everything is clean and in good shape.
Really nice staff too. Keep it up team!

Before you get a membership here, read your contract thoroughly. You will be held to the terms of the contract and not what the person selling the membership tells you if there is a difference. Kansas, unlike some states, does not have specific laws governing health club/​gym memberships to protect the consumer. They use sales tactics to get you to sign up and you are signing a contract for a minimum of a year. The contract says things like you need to cancel by doing it in writing and turning it into the club, your account needs to be current, and it is very likely that another payment will be drafted out because they need time to stop the billing. If you look on the Internet, you will find people who have gone overseas for the military and they report they have been unable to negotiate termination of contacts with Gold’s.They designed their contract so that they are ironclad. I am not saying they’re doing anything wrong although the sales people sometimes stretch the truth so people feel more comfortable signing up. I am just saying that it is high-​pressure sales and if you sign up the day you visit, you may have a really tough contract and be stuck with your decision for a long time! (I do think-​not 100% but pretty confident – that you can cancel the contract if you notify them within the first three days after signing.)

Since when is gold’s gym the new planet fitness?
I’ve been coming here consistently for two years and lately the new girl they hired to «clean things up» has started nagging me. Today she approached me regarding dead lifts and placing the weights down gently, in addition to having a gym bag. Look, I realize that you don’t work out, but generally, when something is picked up, it has to be put back down. When its 400 lbs of iron it might come down a little harder, even while maintaining grip the entire way. Disregard that I’m one of the few who actually put the weights back here.
If you ask me this place didn’t need any «cleaning up» until they brought in all the corporatized money starved marketeers that have never set foot onto a gym floor.
Bottom line, if you’re looking for the classic «gold’s gym» atmosphere– don’t come here.

I became a member of golds gym in December 2014. I live right around the corner and when the gym was Aspen athletic club, I never had any interest in going there. Golds has done a great job promoting the gym and the staff has always been friendly and kind to me.
I really enjoy the variety of classes. I like the fact that there are classes first thing in the morning at 5:30 AM. I’m a student and I don’t have a lot of time in the evening. My initial meeting with one of the personal trainers was helpful and informative. She gave me a lot of great tips. Thank you Lauren Billinger!
There is a lot of equipment. You never have to wait for a treadmill or elliptical machine. I really love the fact that they have real stair masters! The only negative I would say is sometimes the equipment is not as clean as it could be. This is a concern during the winter months when colds and germs are everywhere. Overall, I believe this is a really good gym to join.
