Gold's Gym Austin South Central

If you are a women, do NOT join here. Especially if you like to go to the gym to workout in peace. After a while, you’ll start to notice certain male employees are creepy and will begin to make you uncomfortable with their constant attempts at unnecessary conversation as you are simply trying to just scan in and begin your workout. It seems like the manager is not a very good judge of character because they hire such creepy front desk workers and don’t see a problem with how much these men bother the women at this gym. Lately, every time I walked into the gym I felt like a I was walking up to the front desk at a used car lot. I can’t emphasize enough just how extremely unprofessional, inappropriately “friendly”, and annoying certain employees are here. They just can’t seem to control themselves around women. Over the past few months, the front desk workers have made me feel so uncomfortable that I started to dread going to the gym. I cancelled my membership here and already found another gym nearby that is 100 times better. Ladies, take your business elsewhere.

Consider joining a locally owned business before giving money to this corporation. As the manager sunny said “we are not a mom and pop shop, this is a corporation”. You are not a member you are a number and that’s how you’ll be treated. Shop local, not here, if you have a problem in the future they will not negotiate or offer assistance. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere, don’t spend your money here.

Know What You're Signing Up For! Even if you Cancel your Membership before the next charge date, they will Charge you for the month you don't plan to use. In my case, I left since they abandoned all COVID protections as soon as they were able to. Obviously if I left to not get infected by COVID I can't use this last month they're charging me for, it's ridiculous. When I asked for a copy of the document I signed that said I would pay this, the employee would not provide it and got very angry at me.If you can find another gym that doesn't do this, choose that one instead. I was a customer for 6 years, but never going back again - no wonder they had to file for bankruptcy last year.For Gold's, the equipment condition at this location was about as good as Gold's can do. Fairly limited cardio equipment available. Never needed to interact with staff there so can't say much about them.

The gym is well maintained and the staff seems really nice. Sometimes locker rooms have that funk but everything was nice most of the patrons were wearing mask and everyone was very respectful. Looking forward to making this my local gym! 👍 …

It’s an affordable and functional gym. Yes, it is packed during peak hours, yes it is kinda grimy and yes they could use more 35lbs dumbells, but for price and convenience it works. Crowd is surprisingly nice, not too much grunting, most restack weights and wipe off, and more than half still wearing masks, so kudos to us :-) I recommend!

Awful gym, awful customer service from corporate and from the gyms, and will definitely never join again. War charged multiple times during COVID19, even late fees for whatever reason even though the gyms were closed, and customer service never answered. Once again, but not surprised, corporate gyms treating their members like garbage. Support a local gym!

great equipment and staff. I love they make sure people are fully wearing a mask and wiping down the equipment. I want this place to stay open and glad Golds staff takes the extra steps to keep us safe. The gym is pretty constantly cleaned and the bathrooms and showers (which most gyms do not do). so the gym does not smell like old funk, and it does not stink of bleach.Some of the equipment is old, but this gym is pretty specialized and not a "pretty" gym. if you have specific muscle groups you need to work out, this is one of the few that is not 3x the price.If you want a clean gym with no attitude (except for the people who wont wear a mark) that you can get a really great workout, here you go.

This really really has everything you'd expect from a gym. Wide variety of machines and equipment, relatively clean restroom, sauna and lockeroom area and theres even a small track that revolves around the perimeter of the gym. They also offer Golds Fit, yoga and even a daycare. Unfortunately I live in North Austin but if I'm ever in the area I'll be back for sure.

I would agree that the locker rooms could be cleaner, but overall this is a great gym! The management has been awesome about working with me on programs/plans that work for my busy lifestyle and budget. I've been working with a personal trainer, Leon, and he is super! Very knowledgable about life injuries and making sure that I'm using good form for maximum results and physical care. I highly recommend Leon if you are looking for an experienced, versatile personal trainer who understands how to build muscle after your body has taken some of life's hits. I would suggest to management that the movie room should really show sit-coms instead of 90 minute movies. Seems like more people would use it if you could go in for a 20 min time block for cardio. If you are looking for an unpretentious gym with solid staff, then this is a good one!

My husband and I drive from north austin to specifically go to the gym because of the kids club. The kids club is like no other golds or daycare. They truly care about my children and have become like family to me. Nelda has an amazing team there. Not only that but the admin at this golds is incredibly nice.
