Gold’s Gym

Have been going there for a few years. They’re always helpful. Lots of room to workout. Nice and clean.

I work out here on occasion, although I can’t say that it is my favorite Gold’s. I think this gym probably serves the members that come here, but the free weights are somewhat lacking. They have 2 squat racks, which aren’t really true squat racks. Their decline bench press is not adjustable in any way so if you have short arms, it is near impossible to get the bar off unless you injure your shoulder or get someone to give you a lift off. They do have a lot of hammer strength machines which is nice. They are also the only Gold’s in the area that tries to enforce no gym bags on the floor which is a bit ridiculous. I understand this might be corporate policy, but no other Gold’s cares which is how it should be. It is kind of lame to have to go to the locker room to get lifting straps out or a weight belt, knee wraps, etc. Also it is nice if you have wireless headphones to leave your ipod\phone in your bag.

So after almost 10 years of being a member of golds gym in cedar park I have decided to cancel my membership… If you are getting into lifting this gym is not for you! BEWARE!!! Lifters not welcome one bit. This has become planet fitness but worse!

Decent. It’s a Gold’s Gym. I would complain about the crowd, but that’s not their fault. Cedar Park is growing faster than it can keep up with.
Pros: Clean, great staff, lots of little private nooks to do your embarrassing stretches and yoga moves, clean and carpeted locker rooms, and a nice pool.
Cons: Tiny sauna (but hot due to the size). The sauna is a big part of my routine and I think a bigger one, in proportion to the rest of the gym, would be ideal.
Other than that, it’s a Gold’s Gym. Newer. The staff is very nice and I’ve had positive experiences with everybody I’ve encountered.

Overall, not a bad deal for a gym with the TV’s on cardio machines, pool, and classes. Of the many golds locations, Cedar Park is one that I drive a little extra time to go to. It’s clean and there is more space between machines than most places. ⁴⁄₅ stars for facilities.
I have been working with a personal trainer there for 2 years — Nahn. She rocks and has gotten me a rocking body also. She’s tough, yet one of the nicest people I have ever met. She tailors the workout for what you want and need, then exhausts you for an hour. ¹⁰⁄₅ stars for Nahn
I have seen other trainers there who seem pretty good, but not worth the money like Nahn is.

I signed up and purchased 3 months of training at 2 sessions a week. I sat down with the personal trainer and explained that I am a 39 year old mom with 70lbs extra weight to lose and I hadn’t worked out in almost 2 years. The 3^rd session with the trainer I could tell that he didn’t understand a woman’s body and I kept telling him I was weak and having a hard time controlling the lifts and lifting too much. I injured my shoulder that 3^rd session and am now having to do physical therapy for 2 months 2 times a week. I continued training for 1 ½ months after my injury thinking I was sore and I continued to feel that the trainer didn’t understand a woman’s body. When I went to the Orthopedic Dr, he said that if the trainer would have taken 10 minutes to test my stabilizer muscles, he would have seen that they needed strengthening exercises to be able to support the weight appropriately without injury. I really feel that the trainers are not appropriately trained or educated in differences in bodies and peoples abilities. I wrote the manager and explained I wanted to cancel my membership and would like a refund for my unused training sessions and explained what happened. He responded, «Kennie, Unfortunately you can not get a refund unless you have a doctors not saying that you are physically unable to exercise again. If you can get something from your doctor that says that, then we can definitely work with you on the refund. Thanks,» Nothing else! Not «sorry for your injury.» Nothing! I was so disappointed on so many levels. I wasn’t necessarily expecting to get my money back, but just to get acknowledgement.

Hands down a great gym for the average person trying to stay in shape or the avid runner or gym enthusiast or competitor. Gym is always clean, people who say it isn’t aren’t there to really workout and just need something to blame for their inability to get fit. Great polite staff, reasonable hours including the day care (crazy good hours). Great equipment always wish there was more but what do you do. Best Gold’s I’ve trained at and I go to all of them. Crowds never an issue. Always an open treadmill and no 120 pound trainer mad because I’m using the 150 pound dumbbells and he’s afraid he may have to clean up after me.

Xhsnx

The best place to workout in cedar park. Always clean! The staff is so friendly and helpful. It make working out easy.

Horrible Horrible company due to bait and switch practices. Now saying granddaughter owes over $ 1000 although she has never worked out at the Gym cancelled the contract per instructions both in person and online. No response from the corporate office despite messages left and no response from Aaron the General Manager at this Gym Location!

I’m sorry to give you guys a 3 star but i must do so, the facility itself is awesome, nice equipment, and friendly people. Awesome movie theater as well. But i must say, after i signed the contract for a year, i became pregnant, so for awhile i was still using the facility, but when it came time near the end of my pregnancy, i couldn’t walk because my feet were swollen, i called to speak to someone about maybe freezing my account or putting it on hold since i couldn’t work out, come to find out its 17 $/​mo to freezeand they add on to when you can cxl, i told them i don’t mind staying a mbr, its just right now im not working because i can’t and im about to have a baby so there is no sense in paying for a membership i can’t use. So the man was polite told me he would speak to a manager, then came back to phone and said sure we can do that as long as you bring in a doctors note. I showed up to the facility with note in hand, looking like i shouldn’t be there, i told them i spoke to a man at the counter with manager consent, and then he came back to tell me no we can’t except that. Im standing here crushed! So i left trying not to be emotional because im VERY pregnant. but i ended up paying for the remainder of the months and cancelled my account as soon as possible, and i will surely never return to this salon ever again :/​or recommend anyone to Golds.

I like the facility but the employees are not all friendly, some more then others. The equipment seems to be falling apart and it’s not exactly enforced clean after use. I always clean the equipment I use before and after to avoid staph infection. The Sonia is okay, gets you sweating which is what you want, right? I would not buy the over priced drinks unless you are feeling like death then definitely do. Every Golds that I have been to has meat heads but that side of the gym is avoidable, unless you can just not pay any mind to them. The basketball court is indoors and pretty sweet. The trainers are not worth the money, figure it out yourself. You will thank me later!

Came in to get some info about a membership and look around. I was absolutely shocked at how dirty this gym was. From the floor to the equipment I’m talking Grimy dirty like don’t touch anything. It’s to bad considering the location is great.

I’m still trying to get a regular gym regiment worked out so right now I go to a lot of classes. The Cedar Park location is in my rotation depending on my schedule and what class I want to take. I’ve taken a few Zumba classes and recently a Body Combat class. This seems to be a popular location because every time I go it seems that the classes are pretty full. Almost too full.
In general the whole facility is nice and there’s plenty of equipment so that everyone can get their fitness on. My only beef is that the room that they have the classes is less than ideal in my opinion. I like rooms that have lots of mirrors so that you can see yourself, check our form and depending on where you’re standing in class can use it to see the instructor. And I will admit I’m sometimes vain and I have to check myself out during the sexy moves of a Zumba class. This rooms only has one wall with mirrors. It seems odd to me. Most of the other walls are windows to either the outside or the gym. It’s not my favorite place for a class but sometimes I go there because it’s the only one that works with my schedule.

First, I would NEVER join Golds by paying monthly. I’ve read so many reviews that have horror stories of when you want to quit that it would be foolish to give them credit card information and hope you are the lucky one. The gym is just okay. It gets very packed during the 4p-​7p time frame and people seem unable to find an alternate machine to work out on and insist on asking how many sets you have to go. I’ll use it because for the money it is a better value than Lifetime, but I don’t look forward to it due to the crowds.

I used to work out here at least 5 days a week. I love the fitness GGX classes.
Body Pump
combat
CXWorks
Yoga
Flow
I love the sauna and the spin room and the cinema room.
The same people come here daily and not much changes.
The instructors are nice and make the classes fun.

This gym ids a very nice gym but I like the gold in round rock better. The kids club is a bit nicer there. They have a nice play scape in round rock. But this kids club is still way better than the YMCA.

THIS is what sold me on Gold’s: It has a cardio room with a movie theater. While that may not sound very exciting to you, it’s the perfect combination for this TV-​addict couch potato. Because on the rare occasion that I did go walking in the nearby park, I would think, «If only I could bring my TV with me on these excursions.» My goal now is to actually stay on the treadmill through an entire movie.

I come here everyday — you’d think I’d write a review for the place. It’s just that once I leave the gym, I don’t wanna think about it ever again until I have to go back.
Two stars! That surprises me. I haven’t tried to cancel yet, so I don’t know what kind of nightmare that will be, so this review is for the actual gym and classes.
I LOVE Les Mills classes. I go to the gym about 6 times a week, and I pretty much always take a class. I hate being left to work out alone because I tend to half ass it. The only time I enjoy the machines is when I’m running on the treadmill, but I can’t do that w/​bursitis in both hips, so it’s almost always classes. I do RPM (spin), Body Combat (mixed martial arts). CXWORX (core conditioning), and Body Pump (weights). I love all the classes — they’re as hard as you want to make them, always busy, and they make an hour go by so much faster than it does when I’m schlepping on the treadmill. The groupex studios are spacious and bright. I only started here in Jan, and I know it’s a bad time right now to comment on this but the classes are ALWAYS packed. And I go mid morning. Guess I’m not the only unemployed person around…
They have a cardio theatre here that seems pretty big. I’ve never used it, but I like the idea. They also have a 3 lane pool, saunas, a full basketball court, and a SHITEload of machines (cardio and weights). Smoothie bar, too, and more beefcakes and fake boobs than you can shake a stick at (I’d minus a star for that, but honestly so far, everyone’s either been nice, or neutral, so I’m not gonna be a hater).
Compared to my old gym (which was pretty nice, and a major chain in Canada) this place is pretty kickass.
It doesn’t get five stars because… I dunno. That just seems excessive for a gym.
Oh, and when we signed up, we weren’t pressured at all to buy anything over and above the regular membership.

Even though this Gold’s is one of the spiffy ones built in the Austin metro area after 2006, I didn’t like it that much.
It has a cardio theater but there is no TV outside the room to show passerbys the movie. Also, the cardio theater is louder than the other two Golds in town with cardio theaters. I couldn’t sit in it too long.
There are a good number of machines around the building. They are in good condition and working order due to the gym being fairly new or the gym management’s upkeep.
The locker room was nice and the lockers are bigger than at other Austin metro Golds.
They had a cycle studio room, a swimming pool, and a couple of big exercise rooms for classes. I liked how the class schedule was handwritten on a white board by the exercise rooms. The main room has a lot of cardio machines; some have screens mounted to them.
This Golds feels smaller than Tech Ridge and Hester’s Crossing.
In the same parking lot are health-​oriented businesses like FROOTS and some weight loss clinic.
This gym was not immediately spotted from Whitestone Blvd or 183A; it is tucked in the center or back of the sprawling Cedar Park Center shopping center behind Office Depot, Target, and Cinemark. It faces Bar Ranch Rd. If you’re coming in from Whitestone Blvd /​1431, drive toward the Office Depot and turn into the small road on the right side of Office Depot /​Target complex and you will see Gold’s on your left.
