Gold’s Gym

There is never any staff on the floor overseeing to ensure weights are re racked or bars are broken down, machines/​weights are shared. You get bro’s that will put every 45lb plate on the sleds or calf machine, do 5 reps and walk off and not put weights away; I’m sorry bro… You too tired to break down the weights… here let this pretty young lady take care of that for you!
Stations are always missing weight to leave you to wander the gym to steal from elsewhere. I’ve lifted for over 14 yrs and never seen such inconsiderate members in a gym that is mis-​managed. Time to look for a new one… It’s not often I’m this dissatisfied with a service… If you are trying to compete with the other gyms in this price point, at least have 1 person monitor the floor.

This doesn’t exist anymore. The number and location belong to EOS Fitness so I’m not sure why this is here.
Just giving everyone a heads up who stumbles onto this page. I gave it one star because it doesn’t exist.

Dump!!! Now that said it can be pretty inexpensive if you want a place to train solo.
On the other hand… I signed up to train with a trainer and within a week of signing up the trainer leaves to go to another location. They don’t have another trainer that can train me when I need BUT they hold me to my contract. Long story short $ 2500 for a few sessions with trainers half as good as what you’d find anywhere else in the area.

Huge selection, great staff and low prices. No it’s not really new and it’s a builders gym not for the fashionable fitness crowd, but I love it here.

Everything at this gym is mediocre. The one horrible thing… the old fuck. The old guy at the front desk at nights is a lazy scumbag perverted prick. He works out there too with a dumbass bandana and non stop stares at girls. The way he treats members is disgusting. Wont get off his ass to scan you in, WONT let you workout with out a towel even tho he does it every work out, and on top of it won’t even answer questions about the gym, or about my account. Literally worthless. Makes sense though. 65 year old working graveyard shift as a gym receptionist… I cant really expect him to be a hard worker, or even expect him to be a decent person lol.

The machines are worn out and old. They really need to spend some money on new equipment. The free weight section Is fine though.

If your are looking to just lift weights, it’s a decent gym, otherwise don’t waste your money. They claim $ 15 a month cancel whenever membership, but they fail to mention a yearly membership cost, and it’s somewhat of a pain to figure out how to cancel. I would not go to this gym again.

Great gym and a great price. No fluff. I love that it is open 24 hours. Conveniently located off the I-​10 and Elliott Road.

Let me start with this: it’s not a «bad» gym, but it’s not a great gym either. It depends on what you need. Equipment is pretty beat up and the staff, for the most part, just doesn’t care. I was there for a few years and while they were never mean, they were never really friendly either. I paid 20 a month and once a year they hit you for an extra 50 for maintenance or whatever. They neglected to mention that when I signed up. Moved over to LA Fitness and it’s already been worth the extra 10 a month.
It’s REALLY crowded, too. Holy crap it’s crowded. I understand that there are rush periods but damn.
Bottom line, if you want a $ 20/​month gym with $ 20/​month equipment, go for it. The extra 10 at LA is totally worth it for

SCAM !! They have a HUGE banner on the front of their building saying, «$ 9.95 Month to Month». So I went inside to ask them about it today, [and before I gave them a chance to answer] I said, «I’m betting there’s a catch, it’s too good to be true, there’s a catch right?» And the young woman behind the counter had a guilty smile in her face and said, «well there’s a $ 99.00 sign-​up fee then it’s $ 9.95 month to month». I said that’s NOT on your banner outside, but that’s okay because that’s all I need to here. You don’t even have any kind of ‘fine print’ on your banner outside saying such — not the slightest. You left that part off your banner so people would flock in here. NOTHING except the words «$ 9.95 Month to Month» is on the banner. SCAM — FALSE ADVERTISING to the max degree. I’m going to call all the local TV News stations, like Channel 3 ‘On your side’ and channel 5 and anyone that will do a full legal report on this business running a «Come-​on ad» on the outside of their place of business. I’m sure the Attorney General would be interested in hearing about it.
ALSO, notice in these threads that Golds Gym «only replies ‘to positive’ comments, NOT complaints» !! Great customer relations /​PR. Way to go Golds Gym !!

The only good thing about this place is the reasonable monthly membership! Other than that the customer service is a joke and the gym is dirty! Do not recommend if u can afford to go somewhere else! :(

Staff needs to clean more. Trash bins are always filled past the brim with empty water bottles. Towel machines are usually empty. I’ve never seen a single employee wiping down machines or vacuuming.
Can get a little busy during the after work /​dinner rush, so plan accordingly.
Would be nice to have a few more squat racks /​larger area to dead lift. Some folks need to learn gym etiquette and RE-​RACK THEIR WEIGHTS. But most people are polite; even the roid monsters.
Overall it’s a good value for the price and ²⁴⁄₇ availability.

Staff is awesome. Signed up with Chris and he was very helpful and friendly. Knew about my corporate discount and hooked me up w a trainer to see if Id be interested in doing that. I told him I was only just getting back into training and he reviewed some good info w me that I had forgotten. Place gets busy after 4 (no duh) but its a good sized gym i guess. Looks worse from outside w the full parking lot. I was surprised at how outdated the machines were though… pads were coming off, adjustable seats werent movin… could sometimes be a hot mess. If those could be replaced, id give it 5 stars.

I can tell you they don’t clean the equipment much at all, most of the staff is not helpful and bullshits too much, I have stood at the counter waiting while they talk, the tanning beds are down to one bed and is filthy, if they have time to BS they should clean the equipment, most of the equipment is older and not very well taken care of, the management should really do something, also busy and small, the golds I used to go to in a different state was excellent so not sure what the problem is here

This place is easy to get to off interstate and The Bagel Man is right next door! Overall this Golds is older with the classic metal weights but a great set of heavy dumbbells. The machines are all older, no new equipment here and some alway seem to be broken or totally wore out. I do feel its spacious and you have plenty of room to move around without being on top of other members.
The cardio section is limited with 4 – 5 StairMasters, couple Ellipticals, bikes but a huge row of treadmills 20+ all stationed in front of several flat screen TVs above the gym floor.
There is the standard group class room which also boasts some tires, battle ropes, TRX and other functional training equipment. Child care center as well.
Mens locker room is good size with Dry Sauna room, 6 – 7 showers.
Its a good place to train but no frills or high end amenities. This gym is comparable to Las Vegas Golds on W. Lake Mead (- the mma cage) but I actually prefer this AZ location.

What a rip off! I am a very understanding person since I’ve been involved in business relations for a long part of my life. I cancelled my membership 3 months ago, my credit card got stolen and during the time that it took to replace it and change it to a new one, Gold’s Gym tried to charge it. Since they were unable to, they felt that they needed to extend my membership again and void the cancelation. I just had to pay for a declined charge, 2 additional months, AND had to deal with a very rude representative. Not to mention that their facilities are in decline. CONSIDER YOURSELVES WARNED!

I have been coming here for a few months now and I must say that I am pleased with my experience so far. The preconceived idea is that Gold’s is full of meat heads. False. There is definitely a different crowd here than LA, but it is very diverse and fun to people watch while stretching or doing cardio. I have NEVER run into any people with attitudes or I never felt like I didn’t belong there (I am short and currently husky: p and there are a lot of super fit people here).
Also, the members do a great job of cleaning the machines after use (spray bottles and paper towels are nearby). You really appreciate this if you have ever wanted to use some equipment but it looks as if the ocean tide crashed salt water all over it. Gross. Don’t worry, it is clean here!
The equipment is a fair blend of outdated and worn to brand-​new-​and-​awesome. I love the Precor ellipticals (there are three, just west of the stair masters) since they allow you to control the stride length and depth. On the other hand, there always seem to be a few «under maintenance» pieces of equipment. At one time, one of the two drinking fountains was down for weeks!
Like most gyms, get there on the slow hours to get choice machines and equipment. It gets busy, but not that bad. Mondays are the busiest weekday. When busy, the people I encounter don’t mind sharing equipment between sets and always ask if you are done (common gym etiquette).
My only other quibbles are the fact that sometimes the equipment I need gets brought into the classroom (which is often locked) and not returned to the main floor. I also wish there were more fans closer to the floor since that extra breeze can help you go a lot longer. These are minor complaints however, and overall I really like this place!

To clarify on why I gave Gold’s three stars, other than some of the cardio equipment almost always being broken down…
I know this is an older facility, but I do feel that the overall cleanliness and/​or maintenance could still be bumped up a notch. This is what prevented Gold’s from getting a four star review, but in any case I still recommend the place if you are looking for a good gym at a good price.

I reviewed Gold’s gym in Mesa last year (
) and honestly, this is about the same situation. If I had to choose, I prefer the Mesa location. The women-​only room is just a huge plus!
This location is between work and home, so it’s more convenient if I’m stopping by after work. I use the treadmills (never had a problem getting one), ellipticals, and every so often, free weights. It serves its purpose! It could use a little updating for sure, but for a pretty low membership fee, it’s fine.

My fiancé and I go to Gold’s about three nights a week. We are lifters, so people seeking reviews on the cardio and machines, sorry-can’t help there but it seems like people like it.
The weight area has good equiptment and clean. They have everything you need. Sometimes you’ll have to wait for a squat rack or bench, but five minutes tops. All the guys, (and I say guys because it seems like I’m 1 of 3 women that actually train in the free weights area) are friendly and respectful.
The only thing I’d wish they’d modify, and I’m sure I’m one of only a couple that would say this, but I wish they’d change up the music. It seems to be on pop music a lot and a little adrenaline pumping-​type music would be nice once and while. It’s very difficult to get amped up for my squats listening to Justin Bieber.
Side Note: Offers classes, trainers, childcare, and tanning there too.
