Gold's Gym Slaughter & South Congress

Edit: They expanded the hours on Saturday and Sunday - more packed than ever lolIt's a nice new gym in a fast growing part of town... But the crowds are just a joke. I usually wait pretty late to go, and there just isn't enough equipment for the amount of people there. It's not at all a comfortable or enjoyable time to work out at this location. Y'all gotta do something about all these folks! And you can't say "oh try our club at an off peak time" - there isn't an off peak time!

They say you can cancel any time which is a big lie because they will charge you one month even if you cancel your membership before the due date. They want one month notification ahead as if I am renting an apartment.

Could be a 5 star experience if something can be done to expand the facility or manage the crowd. Equipment is clean and well kept, staff is friendly and welcoming, fellow members are polite and friendly. The crowd is perfectly acceptable during off-hours but good luck getting a full session in if you go during peak times. Quite literally, every station is occupied and people are standing around waiting for something (anything) to open. The attendance at this location has gotten to the point where they should consider implementing a reservation/wait-list entry system during peak hours (if they are unable to expand).

After a month of coming here during busy times, it is pretty tough doing the workouts that you want to but it is understandable since so many people are there in the afternoons but most of the time it is manageable to an extent. Other than that nice and clean, dope turf area, and classes that people can enjoy and air is always cool.

I joined back in May of 2022 and couldn’t be more stoked on a gym. I’ve gotten to know the folks that work there and if amps go to ten, these people turn it up to 11! One of the most supportive, friendly, and knowledgeable personal training staff that I’ve encountered at a gym to date. If you’re not going to one of the many classes they offer, you’re messing up. Legit, you can’t go wrong with any of them. If you prefer to workout alone, the machines are great and I’d say most folks there are fairly mindful and friendly. Phone texting is big thing between weight sets at any gym, but anyone I’ve asked to share the machine with usually steps to the side- don’t be afraid to ask!And lastly, a big shout out to my trainer that’s changing my life and helping me with my health journey every dang day, Chris. Thanks for keeping me motivated, being an ear, and making this weight- loss party a total blast! 🎉

Its a nice gym, but it's way too crowded at all times. People just stand around hogging the machines, chit chatting, and not working out. Like get out of the way and let the people who are really there to work, workout!

Shauna helped me out and provided more help than the customer service line did. I would no longer be a member if it wasn’t for her. Clean gym with solid employees. Would recommend to my friends and family.

The staff very friendly and helpful. Very clean. Great lighting for a progress selfie. The only thing I would like to change is add more weighted machines and move the cardio machines to another area. The lack of equipment and it only being 1 floor means lots of congestion at times.

The classic silver sneakers class on Monday, Wednesday and Friday are great.Jennifer is the best instructor. You feel stronger and more flexible when you take her class.The front staff is very friendly and helpful. Luis does a fantastic job keeping the gym clean.Management is great.

Nice clean gym with dope lighting for videos the atmosphere in there is badass the gym goers are cool but when did golds gym become planet fitness you can’t record yourself for self progress you can’t even text in the gym what ??? You can’t have your gym bag you have to carry all of your stuff you will constantly see someone stalking you walking the whole gym making sure you’re not breaking “the rules” which is annoying nobody minds if you do any of that only the staff that works there apparently so I will not be coming back here I’ll stick to the golds by my house they are way less uptight.
