I’ve been going to this gym long enough now to see multiple changes in management. Each one tries to come in and turn this gym around without any support from the corporate office. It’s been a downhill battle. Every day this gym gets worse. As of now, I’ve counted 12 broken things here. There’s no excuse for it. Many of them have been out of commission for MONTHS! There’s even a room by the front where all the dead equipment goes to die after it’s been broken. I swear the number of machines each month goes down because nobody ever fixes them. The sauna is disgusting and I’m sure is only cleaned once a month. Paper towels and disinfectant are constantly out so you can’t even wipe down machines. The locker room has had locks on some lockers for close to a year now even though they are supposedly “day use only”. The opener who used to be here almost every weekday was amazing. She knew each person by name and now she’s gone. Very sweet lady. I’ve overheard the current manager saying very nasty things about her which is inexcusable coming from a manger. Do better golds.
I know it's Christmas, it's a holiday, but why does your system say the gym is open? I drove all the way here because all the other gyms are closed, a 21-minute drive, and it turns out this gym is closed too. I need to stick to my routine, I came here because I need to work out. And instead of updating your system, you make people drive all the way here only to find the doors locked. Why don't you put in the system that the gym is closed? It says the gym is open, but the doors are locked.
As a guy with basic workout needs and a gym that's pretty much close to this Central area it's in, couldn't ask for more! They've got a ton of equipment, many duplicate stations so you're not waiting for one person to finish. Great relaxed environment, good music. Enough variety between every type of resistant training, CrossFit area, cardio. For basic high quality gym, this Golds is great!!
Perfectly fine gym for $30-$35 a month. Machines are older but 90% of them are working fine. If you can’t get a good workout in here that’s a you problem. Some of these reviews are people being extremely over dramatic. Most of the gyms in the area have worse hours and cost 2-3x more, minimum. Not the best golds in the Austin area and I’d honestly happily pay $50/mo for newer equipment. But whatever. Serves its purpose.
Probably the worst run gym I’ve ever been to. I am not exaggerating when I say these pics were all taken on the same day. I ended up walking around seeing how many out of order signs I could find like it was an Easter egg hunt. You can probably still go in there and the out of order signs will all still be there, no matter what date you are reading this. The WiFi is unusable. The sauna is broken half the time, the refuse to fix anything. Been here for a year and a half and I think it’s finally time to switch. I have asked them many times to fix stuff and this is where we are at now. I went to LA fitness down the road and it’s 10x better so now I will try to bring as many people from golds to LA with me before I cancel my membership out of spite. They either don’t have a manager or they are wildly overpaid because they are never there. Sauna is always broken and is never even very hot anymore, they never fix equipment when it breaks, hours could be better. One thing I will say though is that personal trainer Daniel is dope. They should give him a raise, because he is the only good thing about this place. Don’t go to this gym (unless you want a personal training session with Daniel).
