Gold’s Gym

The place has a limited number of machines. Carpets are old and dirty.
As soon as I could go elsewhere, I canceled my membership on the last day
of the month.
They want to charge me for another month. «It is our policy to have
a 30 days warning» per manager.
Beware

I’ve had two training sessions with Kevin H. Not only is he knowledgeable, he’s great at listening to what you want and need. I’m in an injury rehab phase and his suggestions have been great. Once recovered, I look forward to more challenging workouts under his guidance!

Once again… Many things broken. All I wanted to do was take a brisk walk on a treadmill. First machine I tried… Out of order. Second, turned on but was «waiting for incline» (see my image). I thought when the red bar finally loaded the machine would start. I was wrong. Third one stared, but had a warped belt and I almost tripped. 4^th time is a charm… Oh and the sauna is broken too.

This is a reasonably priced gym located close to home; I typically stop in 3 – 4 times a week around 5:30pm for a quick workout after work. It is typically busy but not filled to the point where I can’t get a bench or machine when needed. The staff are friendly and pleasant. My only gripe is that it seems a handful of treadmills are always out of service. Overall, as a casual gym goer this has been a good pick.

I am just learning of Golds in East Greenwich closing suddenly. I hope the Pawtucket location stays open. I use a personal trainer/​group class with a person who knows her stuff. Could be a substitute for PT if you have a slight joint or muscle problem. I am 66 and get a great monthly membership through Blue Chip Medicare. This allows me to pay the Personal Training cost. New gyms in the neighborhood do not seem to have the Gravity class Golds offers or do not yet offer senior fitness classes. LA fitness has a pool but at 80 degrees I would freeze! Even the Y is about 84.
Golds isn’t brightly colored or shiny and new but members come in all ages and sizes and the atmosphere is welcoming. I do think they need to clean up litter and weeds in the parking lot and grounds to make a better first and ongoing impression.

Me and 2 friends were members for a year. Started out on a bad note, promised a promotion when we signed up and once we paid, management didn’t fulfill the agreement or even try to make up for the lie. Even after about 5 emails and 3 of us witnessing the initial promise and failure to comply. Okay gym overall. Parking is horrible in the winter, but that’s typical this year. Facilities are in decent shape, but there are some serious issues (see photos) Most equipment is usually working. Smoothie bar is a great feature!

New Machines, not any noticeable broken equipment. Staff lets you work and isn’t pushy but very accommodating and considerate. Pretty mellow in terms of being crowded at night. Not sure during the day. The only thing I would change is for the gym to be open later on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

A little pricey for what it is, but it is very clean and has a large amount of classes. Great instructors, and I love the sauna, which could be bigger. The Sauna at the East Greenwich location is substantially bigger. Not very good for a tri-​athlete because there is only one Espresso bike. There are a few sit down ones, but they are not very realistic. I usually do not have a problem getting on a treadmill during Rush hour at the Pawtucket location (mostly weight lifters here), but in East Greenwich (where I used to go normally) you might wait once in a month. The members a good at wiping down equipment at both locations. Pawtucket has a few more cell phone talkers. I wish there was a pool for this price.

So, I didn’t want to jump the gun and write a review before I had an opportunity to really try out what the gym had to offer.
So far, so good. I really love the classes, which is one of the main reasons that I joined. I am generally an outdoor activity gal but as the days get shorter and outside temps go down, I needed to find an alternative to going for runs. I perused the reviews and recommendations by friends of the several local gyms in my neighborhood. I decided to check out Golds due to the proximity to my house and the variety and timing of their group exercise classes.
The classes are pretty top notch. I have been attending the Yoga, kick boxing, and «groove» (think zumba plus additional forms of aerobic dance) classes for the past month and really enjoy the instructors and flow of the classes. I have also tried out many of the cardio machines and although some of them are a bit squeaky, they have a nice variety (and are planning to replace many of them after the new year). They also have a cinema cardio room that you can use when they aren’t having a spin class, which features a «newish» movie playing while you cycle. They also have a nice stretch area and a pretty large weight and resistance training area. My only complaint is that their women’s only area is a bit cramped and is uncomfortable to use with more than one or two people are working out.
I’ve been with Gold’s for about a little over a month now, but I have been enjoying my membership. The staff are all friendly, the classes are excellent, and the cardio area fits my needs when I’m not in a class. They frequently offer different introductory specials for new members and offer referral rewards for existing members who get friends or family members to join. Since it’s right down the block from my house, so far I haven’t had a good excuse to not attend at least a few times a week and well, it’s been actually fun.

I was very impressed with this gym when they first opened up. It’s been a couple years now and I think they need to do some sprucing up. The men’s locker room and showers are showing their age. The workout area is very clean and very up-​to-​date. The membership price is reasonable around $ 35 a month. The staff is always very friendly. There is a juice/​shake bar and a few racks that sell gym clothing. They have babysitting and many personal trainers available. I’m not sure what the five-​star Gym would look like

I am so sad that I am moving. I will miss this gym so much. I am not a gym rat but gold has kept me coming back for over a year. I am there at least 3 days a week. I have taking different class used the treadmills and weights and have worked personally with mike. This gym is very professional everyone is polite and they meet my standards which are extremely high!!!

How many gyms provide exceptional yoga classes? Not many. They’re doing a great job making room for us yogis! All the classes are excellent and the staff is superb. The trainers are generous with their knowledge. everybody is friendly and helpful, — It always feels good to walk in– be greeted with a smile… love the place.

I don’t know about you but I hate the gym. I think of it as a haven for beautiful men with their rippling muscles, sexy gym shorts and the evil women who steal them all away from me. Well, I somehow managed to get over my belief system that it’s a gay man’s candy land with nothing but bitters lining the floor and did so using this location.
In May of 2013 I committed to working with a trainer 3 – 6 times a week to get my life and health in order. I started the program with the lead trainer and was placed with Jason once the lead determined my skill set and goals. I could not have been happier!
Jason was a real person, not just some meathead who added great humor and personality to my workouts. He catered to my silly antics and outlandish humor, knowing the gym and the beautiful men who inhabited it made me uneasy. After only a few sessions we were old college buddies while he continued to push me to work harder than I would alone for the body I never had, but always wanted. Jason not only helped me with exercises and forms, he also educated me on the physiology of the workout and appropriate diet.
The facility was consistently clean, the machines rarely broke and the overall space was very large and spread out. I would go in the mornings between 5am and 11am and the volume during that time period was fair. Sometimes there would be a wait for certain equipment, though not often, and patrons were always considerate when that was the case.
They have an expansive variety of equipment and lots of paper towels and cleaning solution around so people stay on top of sanitation. The smoothie bar was quite nice. They were definitely pricey but the protein shakes offered came in a wide variety which were great. I would do the green protein shake with an extra scoop of protein.
I never took any classes here so I cannot opine on their adequacy though, when I observed, I noticed participants worked rather hard in them.

The group class room could have been placed more to the side for privacy. It is clean and the staff are cool and professional. There are a lot of leering meatheads, but if you are an attractive girl with a great bod you should be used to it. What COMPLETELY kills this gym is the clientele. I am going to refrain from being too mean. If you read my reviews on Circe and Blu you may get an idea of who frequents this Gold’s in Pawtucket. I have to say it is NOT the men at this gym who are the eyesores.

Gold’s Gym continues to impress me. I recently learned that I’ll be moving to Boston soon and I’m sad to leave my gym behind. I honestly loved this place. The group class instructors were all awesome people, trainers seemed friendly, the staff were always smiling, and the manager Lindsay was like a class act and took care of an issue I was having with my employer’s direct payroll deduction for my membership.
What more could you possibly ask for in a gym?

It’s been about three years now since I joined golds gym and i never get tired of their group classes. I love their spin, weights and Boot Camp classes. The instructors are friendly and motivational. They have classes in the morning and at night. plenty of treadmills and elliptical. For thirty a month it’s totally worth it.

I have been going to Golds Gym for about 2 and a half years now and it has met all my needs in a gym. I am a group fitness kinda gal, so I pretty much only take the group classes for exercise. I have tried all of the different classes the gym offers and my favorites are the spin class, step class, and group power (weight training) class. It is a very clean gym and the instructors are very friendly and motivate you to work hard.
A complaint of mine is that they have a high turnover. They change the instructors frequently and not too long ago, they let go of some of my favorite instructors. I am not really sure why they did that. Also, one time I went to a yoga class and no instructor showed up. Also, not too many people my age go to this gym and take fitness classes. I am in my mid-​20s and most of the ladies that take the fitness classes seem to be older, but it doesn’t bother me very much but it might not be the place to fit in for a younger age group.

Beautiful Gym. Describes it best. I have so much to say so I’ll quickly post but I’ll go back and add more later. If you want a nice gym that’s well cared for with the best equipment around this is the one to go to. They have top of the line everything. Yes its more expensive than other gyms but you pay for what you get. All of their cardio machines have tvs on them. Some of them have these systems that are programed with games and all kinds of crazy things to keep you motivated. They have a separate ladies weight room if you don’t feel comfortable lifting with the men. Something super cool– a cardio theater! Watch movies and work out! This really gym is top notch.
I joined for the Les Mils classes which unfortunately they canceled. But they are still doing classes with the same company… they just split up. (long story I guess) They have a sauna, massage bed, tanning bed and smoothies. One thing I DO want to say that is REALLY key here–
Yesterday I wasn’t feeling so good about myself So I was working really hard on the elliptical a trainer went by, smiled at me and gave me a thumbs up. He just kept walking. It was so nice and just the motivation I needed. I had never met him, he wasn’t watching me, it wasn’t creepy or weird or anything like that. It was simply that extra touch that someone was like hey! Keep it up girl! That meant a lot.
I’d look at the website and wait for membership specials. I signed up in June where I got 2 months free and I get the «Gold» membership for only $ 4 extra a month. You can also download a free week pass online. If you DO decide to go or sign up PLEASE feel free to say I referred you: D

I hate going to the gym. I was the type of person that would rather play a sport than workout for hours on end.
Gold’s Gym has helped in changing my opinions about going to the gym.
Although it is a little pricier than some of the other gyms, it’s well-​worth it due to its close proximity to my house and also its distance from the more ‘college-​y’ areas.
Most important thing about this place is how clean it is. Everything looks pretty and although they offer a lot of machines, it doesn’t look cluttered. When I first signed up, I got two free sessions with a personal trainer and he was fabulous. (I always said that if I ever reach baller status, I’d hire him for good). The locker rooms are clean, roomy and very accommodating. I know there’s a sauna available too but I haven’t had the chance to use it.
Everyone that works here is friendly without being too invasive. I never feel weird asking for help on anything and there’s always plenty of them around for any sort assistance.
The one thing I haven’t tried at the gym are the classes (mostly because i don’t have a gym buddy and don’t want to make a fool of myself alone) but I’ve heard nothing but raving reviews about them. I’m planning on trying out their Body Pump class sometime soon!
For those who may be interested, they are one of the few 24 hour gyms around town.
It’s not as intimidating as I feared it would be and the more I go, the more I feel comfortable being there.
Kinda pricey but you definitely get your money’s worth.

It took me 30 years, 9 months and 28 days to get into fitness… and now I absolutely love it.
I joined Gold’s Gym in an effort to get back into shape — to transform not only my body, but my entire approach. Since they offer a complimentary training session when you join, I was game. Little did I know I would become hooked.
After the initial ‘analysis’ or whatever, I was set up with a trainer that they felt would pair best with me. This is when Fraser came into my life, and he was exactly what I needed. Things are kept interesting by introducing new techniques at every session, and he teaches me about his methods in a way that I can relate so that I am able to apply them when he’s not there to instruct me. He keeps things fun by never taking anything too seriously, and never, ever makes anything seem impossible or intimidating, but always pushes me to do what he knows I am capable of.
I am now stronger, healthier and more fit than I have ever been in my life. I actually enjoy my workouts, and make it a priority to dedicate time to them. They gym itself is quite large and spacious with a great selection of equipment and machines. They have various weight and cardio machines, and a private area for women who want to work out without the worry of men watching them. It’s bright, clean, and has a well planned layout. Everyone on the staff at the gym is incredibly friendly, helpful and sincere — it’s just got a good vibe.
Plus, they’ll give you a free smoothy for you birthday. Who doesn’t love that?
