Golds Gym

This is a good gym — lots of good equipment and free weights, enables you to do whatever your training calls for. However, I gotta comment on their customer service, or lack-​there-​of. I called shortly before 4:30 pm on a Saturday to ask when they close. I have my cell phone on speaker, so I allow it to ring until they answer. Well, it’s 4:50 and it’s still ringing.
Then, I learn online that they are open till 6pm tonight… meaning, staff was at the gym when the phone was left to ring for a very long time. I understand that you might not be at the front desk, and the gym is a large space. However, within a 20 minute time-​frame, SOMEONE HAD to have heard the phone and neglected not to do their job and answer it. Very frustrating.
Still ringing… come on staff
EDIT: I ended up hanging up at 5:06, making the call be over a half hour with no answer. Seriously??? Come on

Great gym, I was from out of town and if your looking for a gym to lift and get some cardio this is the gym! If your looking for a fancy gym then go find one! Quit your bitching and just workout !!!

Very dirty no hand sanitizer

I really hate the gym, going to the gym, working out, sweating … but lets face it, we all need to stay in shape.
My husband and I recently signed up for Gold’s. Super convenient as it is minutes from our house and it was $ 300 for the 2 of us for a year membership. When you cut that down its only $ 2 bucks more a month than say Planet Fitness. Plenty of machines here and everything is clean. What I love here are the classes. I do the zumba class 2 – 3 times a week and I LOVE it. Fantastic Zumba instructors here, very good for beginners as I have no coordination whatsoever but have been doing pretty decent. Classes are at great times, early evening/​after work. You don’t have to rush out of work and you don’t have to get home at 10. Perfect!
Staff here is very friendly and are there to answer any questions you may have.

A little history: I belonged to this gym about 2 years ago, began going to the Gold’s in E. Greenwich, switched completely to a privately own gym that had boot camp/​kickboxing/​adventure race training. Years before that I was once a Planet Fitness member. Needless to say, I am back here at the Gold’s on the Warwick/​Cranston line.
I like the location of this gym, because it’s right off of 295 and it’s a spot that my friends and I can meet up at if we have a workout planned together. I really like the schedule for the classes here, as they seem to work with my schedule better. I am a HUGE class person, spin, bootcamp, you name it, I’ll at least try it!
I always feel comfortable here despite that I have found some people give Gold’s a bad rep with the idea that it’s body builders, etc. In my opinion, there are people of all different shapes, sizes, and ability.
The locker rooms are clean, equipment is clean and appears to be maintained.
The membership here is VERY reasonable. Is it your planet fitness cost? — no. Is it your private gym cost? — no. I consider this to be middle of the road.
The other great thing about the membership here is you can use their North Providence location (I have yet to try that location).
*TIP*
If you sign up with 2 people for a one year membership, ask if they will offer you a deal! I have done this twice now and have received a deal each time ($ 50 off each membership, a total of $ 100!) SCORE! They are willing to work with you! Then take that $ 50, stash it away, or go treat yourself to some hot, new kicks!

I’m very unhappy with the experience I had with Gold’s gym in Warwick.
54 $ a month will give you a membership at Golds, which warrants use of the facilities and a spot in the many classes they offer. (Everything from kettlebell training to step aerobics to spin or fitness dancing)
The equipment is state of the art and new.
To use some of the state of the art equipment, such as the gravity training machines, you need to pay an extra monthly fee. Wha?
The guys that generally work out here are weight droppers, grunters, and generally enjoy strolling around grilling the guests and ladies taking classes. I’m in solid condition and i’m not intimidated by the meatheadery, but still unfortunate to see that kind of behavior.
Lockers extra, guests are extra. (Unless you can give them the guests info, AND the guests are local, AND don’t mind being harassed. My guests from NY were not allowed to use my guest passes)
When I cancelled my membership a month early (they promised me I could, as I moved out of the area) they ended up charging me anyway. They attempted to send it to their parent collection agency, and gave me a sharp ration of attitude when I inquired with management politely.
I’m furious. Take your money elsewhere, this
