This is the “Cadillac” of all gyms in Asheville IMHO. It is spacious and full of up to date, fairly well maintained equipment and lots to choose from. Staff is friendly and Mgr Steve is responsive and pleasant. Biggest complaint is maintainence staff mopping/clean during workout times with extremely strong smelling chemicals that overwhelm the facility. The air is toxic in there at 10AM weekdays, which is completely counter to why we are all there. Cannot understand why this doesn’t happen after hours. Have requested multiple times that at the very least, they use * green* products. Also bummed, no Wi-Fi for over a week now, but understand they are “ switching over” and this will soon be corrected. If it wasn’t for the chemicals we are forced to breath, I would give this gym 6 out of 5 stars.

Great gym, even when they’re busy they have enough equipment. Staff is super friendly and helpful. The only issue is there’s no pool, hot tub or steam room but for the price what can you expect

Not a bad spot at all. I usually have access to whatever I need to get my pump on. The sauna is what I really hit this spot for. As a life-long Wrestler, I HAVE TO have a sauna available. And the staff are always smiling and close by. Very clean, too, btw. It's nice to be back at it after several major surgeries and have a place I feel comfortable with. Good stuff.

Laura at the Oakley location was so friendly and helpful! She was the third person I spoke with about an issue with my membership and billing, and she was the only one to resolve my issue.

Absolutely the best GOLDS GYM in Asheville! Debbie at the Front Desk will greet you with a warm smile every morning! I highly recommend the 6 am Burn & Fit Classes with Coaches Chris Farmer & Will Farmer. They are tough, fun, and a great group of people to start your day off with.

Up to date and clean. The locker room/bathrooms are nice too. I have the membership to workout at any of the three locations in Asheville and this location far outweighs the South location. I should drive the extra 10 min to this location but the South location is too close to justify that.I'm not sure how management works for this Gold's hub here in Asheville, but there needs to be a serious overhaul at the South location to be on the same level as this one.

The atmosphere here is motivating, everyone including the gym goers are friendly and encouraging. There are plenty of equipment all in good working condition. There's no need to wait for an available one since there are plenty to choose from. I love coming here.

Excellent facilities with 24/365 access and friendly staff. Very nice lap pool, large dry sauna, tons of great exercise equipment, and various fitness classes throughout the day/week.
