Gold's Gym

Pros: I can't think of any pros.
Cons: Every single thing.

I had a contract with gold's gym beginning in 2002. It was for two years which I wasn't excited about but I went with it anyway because they told me I can pay out of my contract at $100 for the first year and $50 for the second year. Come time for me to ...

Pros: Many locations to choose from
Cons: Intimidating atmosphere, Rude corporate personnel

I was a member at the Gold's Gym in Merriam, KS for 10 years. I always paid my membership dues up front in full. After leaving the gym to try a new gym, I received a phone call that my account was 2 months overdue. Apparently even though I paid my dues ...

Pros: the gym was clean to workout in
Cons: Contracts, Ray Cupp and the rest of Sales, lack of customer service

This is the worst CON I've ever experienced. So you want to work out, but you move around a lot because of your job and you need a Month-to-Month Contract. No problem right? WRONG!!! Don't ever sign with Gold(diggers)GYM. They tell you everything you ...

Pros: tv's, mirrors,
Cons: customer service, being treated like a number, lack of integrity from a business stand point.

the particular gold's i went to had no signs indicating which locker room was which. a girl walked in on me while i was in the shower, and left after i told her to get out. of course, after 5 minutes, a bunch of girls were laughing because they dared ...

Pros: Nice facility
Cons: Misleading policies

I heard the advertisement on the radio about a FREE 30 day trial membership to Gold's Gym. That's great, I thought, I'll go see what Gold's has to offer and maybe join at the end of the trial membership. I called the nearest Gold's and made an...

Pros: The only Pros I can think of benefit the company financially.
Cons: This company has a bad record with the Better Business Bureau.

There is a good reason for them to have an unsatisfactory recorded with the Better Business Bureau in Sterling VA. First, it’s impossible to cancel your membership even if you pay all of their fees. I went to cancel my membership on 1/21/08 and paid ...

Pros: Quality of equipment -but not quantity!
Cons: Shed more $$$ than pounds!

I belonged to Gold's Gym for 2 years in New York. I have never been conned or ripped off so much in my life. The contract you sign says that you can pay per month but you have to sign up for 12 months. If you stop going they still charge you. When I...

Pros: Natl Name is scandalized by management
Cons: You name it: Bad service, dangerous location, bait & switch advertising practices.

Can you say ghetto!!!!

The bottom line here is to avoid this club at all costs - which is located in City Place Mall, unless you don't mind working out with the scum of the city. The mall's reputation is so bad that city officials are thinking...

Pros: None
Cons: WARNING!!! DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER THIS GYM!!! FRAUDULENT BUSINESS PRACTICES!!!

IMPORTANT UPDATE!!! DO NOT CONSIDER JOINING THIS GYM. AFTER YOU SIGN A CONTRACT WITH THEM, THEY WILL CHANGE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF YOUR CONTRACT WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE OR APPROVAL. I had been a member of this gym for 2 years. A few months before ...

Pros: none
Cons: Owner and staff lie and cheat. Filthy pool. Unprofessional.

I prepaid for 2 years before construction began. I made it clear that I was joining entirely for lap swimming purposes. They promised a professionally managed lap pool. They told me that my start date would be after the grand opening which was to occur ...

Pros: none at all.
Cons: Need I say more.

I joined Gold's Gym in Canton, GA, which was 5 miles from my house and was told that I could cancel my membership if I moved more than 50 miles away. I got divorced and I did move 50 miles away -- actually 200 miles away. I called the director and told ...

Pros: good facilities
Cons: Deceptive sales practices, awful customer service

BEWARE OF GOLD'S SALES PRACTICES, THEY ARE DECEPTIVE. I joined Gold's 6 months ago because it was close to my house. The facility (in Cincinnati) is clean and new, and the equipment is in pretty good condition (perfect except the dumbbells are ...

Pros: Absolutely NONE !!!
Cons: EVERYTHING !!!

I signed up with Golds Gym in Totowa NJ back in August of 2004. I signed a contract for 13 months as sold to me by one of the sales reps named Joe. As I was looking over the contract I noticed it was worded kind of funny. The contract said it expired ...

Pros: Just barely good enough to fool people
Cons: no one to contact about membership and financial matters, extremely difficult to terminate membership.

Don't let them get your savings account or bank account. Without bills or reminders, the ABC Financial Inc. company will start collecting money due. I paid for one year all together, and was expecting to pay monthly afterwards. I had got a new ATM card ...

Pros: plenty of equipment to work out on.
Cons: poor customer service, and shady business practices.

I became a member of Golds Gym in July of 2004, I hired a personal trainer at the gym. This personal trainer, Chris Jiminez decided to put me on his own diet. This was not an apex* approved diet at all. This personal trainer also sold me products from ...
