Gold’s Gym

I’m very disappointed with how my membership signup went. I told them I was on a tight budget yet they offered me $ 150 signup for a $ 12.99 biweekly payment yr contract with the use of a trainer. At the time it was fine bc I could afford it but after a month of using them I ran into some financial issues and in early January I tried to cancel my membership. They said I had a balance of $ 500 owed??! I agreed to pay $ 12.99 so I don’t understand where that number came from and the manager was unreasonable and unwilling to help me as a customer. She had zero sympathy as to my situation and basically told me there was nothing I could do. Now I found out that my friend has the same membership and she pays $ ²⁵⁄₃₅ a month… I’m appalled that they would take advantage of my wallet like that and do nothing to help. Also I’m still being charged so now I owe almost a grand… I’ve only had the membership for 4 months. Help me!

I had a great experience here. The place is clean and well maintained. The staff is helpful but not intrusive. They are willing to help when needed. It is one of the cleaner Golds Gyms I have been to.

I have been a member of this gym for almost 10 years. Why? Because it is convenient. It has the basic weight lifting equipment I need. I don’t use the aerobic equipment or the spin bikes so I don’t know if they work or not. The locker rooms are basic. They are frequently dirty and in need of repair. While I don’t use the sauna nor the steam room I notice that they are out of order occasionally. The locker rooms don’t have sufficient ventilation so the result is… odors. But it is cheap and I like the other people there who I work out with so I give it three out of five stars.

I have been to gyms and dropped them before. I have always had trouble with my weight. Let me tell you I really like this gym. The front desk staff is always friendly and asks about my day. The other staff GM & trainers are always friendly, will give you advice if you ask, but don’t push. The star there has got to be hands down IAN! He is a great trainer that is a great motivator and not a drill sargent. He works with me and my crazy schedule at the hospital that can change at a moments notice. Gold’s Gym won with hiring him. The staff make this place and it is why I will continue to come back!!!

Well its a gym, I will say that. It seems as though everytime I come the staff is on their cell phone. No biggie I guess, maybe they have better things to do. I see the gym as a so so gym. Yes the gym is rather small. As far as the staff over all, REALLY BAD. I saw a review that was written and I saw he complained enough and got some upgrades. Where is that coming from please. You complain about the gym and just because you get upgrades now your praising them.

Friendliest staff I’ve ever experienced at a gym. Dwayne showed me around and gave me all payment options with patience despite all my questions. This gym is clean, well taken care of, yet is simple, which is just what I like. So glad I finally found a gym I look forward to going to.

Still not as large as gyms I have back in Texas, but it’s not bad. +1 star for the General Manager for being social and friendly.

Outstanding Gym Manager is interactive with People workers there care and it’s a get in get out gym no strings attached knowledgeable trainers are a close community feel to it

The worst ever… I’m just trying to help DONT NEVER EVER sign up for gold gym membership specially the one in leesburg… when I signed up he asked me the first question (would you like to pay cash or charge??)I said I will be paying cash. he said ok but I need to know if u have a bank account or credit i said yes he said let me see it plz I said why he said just for our policies I said ok… I use to go to gold gym every day but in winter I stopped going there… and he charged me fee 124 $ I don’t even know why for 2 months 124 $ wow… I said when I signed the contract I told u ill be paying cash… he said when you don’t pay cash I will just take money out of your bank account.

Let me just say that I like small divey gyms. If you want a gym with lots of amenities, or hotties walking around in skimpy workout clothes, this is not the place for you. This gym is about as basic as it gets, which is exactly what I like about it!
They have cardio equipment, weights, floor equipment, a basic locker room, a dedicated spinning room, and fitness classes (and childcare). That’s it. If you’re looking for no fuss, in and out exercise, you should check them out.
Reasonably priced monthly membership that you can cancel anytime.
Staff is very friendly, both administrative and fitness instructors.
My favorite is the belly dancing class with Jewel. It is so much fun! Low intensity exercise that is a great core workout. I don’t like all the jumping around in classes like Zumba. Recently Golds made her change it to «cardio dance» instead of belly dancing, but I hope they change it back!
Treadmills all have personal TVs. There are wall mounted TVs for the ellipticals. As mentioned in another review, there have been some pretty serious wifi problems. I’m glad to hear they’re being resolved. Free weights are in a separate room. So you don’t have to hear all the grunts and loud weight dropping if you’re just there to use the machines.
My only constructive criticism is that I would like to see the fitness classes built out a little more. Every class I’ve been to is pretty full. So I definitely think there’s enough of a demand to fill some of the holes in their schedule.

I’m new to the area and very dissapointed in the the lack of gyms offered in Leesburg! I was looking for a true gym, not a cardio gym with mommy classes. Golds was the best option for their selection of equipment, but it’s EXTREMELY tight and crowded in the weight room. They seem to have all the necessary equipment, but it’s old. The weight room needs to be at least double the size with all the equipment that is squeezed in there. It’s very crowded when there are more than 5 people lifting in the weight room and very uncomforable. My kids seem to like the XBox that was just added to the daycare, so that’s a plus. Overall, I find the gym lacks energy and just has a dead feeling. Where do all the meatheads lift in Leesburg?

I’ve been to Golds all across the country and I have to say that this gym has no energy… No Synergy to it. It is quaint. It is in a strip mall and it just FEELS like a strip mall. Cleanliness was not up to par, but that is what I’m finding across the U.S. in the gym. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not gross, just you don’t have that «sense» of clean. The equipment will get the job done so that’s a plus. I went to the one in Ashburn off Red Run. Much more warm and inviting. In todays time you have to step up your game in the gym industry! I don’t feel the power in this gym at all! Guys your there to uphold the Golds name and your failing! Step up your game!

Um when did the gym turn into an internet café? Why are all these people so desperate for wifi? Sorry but the last time I checked a gym is for working out, all of your reviews are irrelevant (i.e. — banners? wifi? other gym goers? Come on people these aren’t legit complaints)

After multiple tries to contact management for several months (well documented), they refuse to address the lack of no internet. While the local workers are nice, corporate Golds Gym does not care about its customers by their lack of consideration for paying customers.
Update: The gym’s manager as well as corporate have taken steps to address this and have been great to my wife and I. The issue was Fitness First getting acquired by Golds. The equipment, classes, and people are great and look forward to continued upgrades.

Disappointing that this Fitness First changed to a Gold’s Gym. I previously wrote a review for Fitness First noting it was a simple no frills gym with low rates but lacked any kind of decent décor or any of the basic benefits the nicer gyms have today. The transition to Gold’s has been minor in terms of the gym lay out — all gym equipment is in the same place but staff and banners now bear the Gold’s logos. Things that have gone down hill… the WIFI there no longer works and the staff just tells you to keep turning your phone off/​on instead of trying to fix their router, the «Gold’s» branding has brought in more of the meat head type gym goer who tonight were making lewd facial gestures at the regular looking middle aged women just trying to get their cardio in and the cleanliness has gone downhill as well. I’ll be cancelling my membership and exploring LAFitness or Ida Lee. Too bad — was nice to have an inexpensive simple gym option in Leesburg.

The gym is average — a reasonable amount of equipment but all a bit dated. It’s the staff that let this place down — best steer clear.
