I had a positive experience at this Gold's Gym location; however, I was disappointed to learn that they no longer partner with Active and Fit for gym passes. While there are numerous other Gold's Gym locations outside of this location that do accept Active and Fit, this particular location does not. I learned this during my workout when the receptionist informed me 45 minutes into my session. While I was already warmed up and had no choice but to pay for my workout, I hope the gym management will consider reinstating their partnership with Active and Fit or offer alternative options for those with gym passes. Overall, I enjoyed my workout at the gym but was disappointed by the lack of flexibility with their payment options.

So don’t get me wrong this’s a great gym, the equipment is top notch quality, the staff are great, the environment is very motivating to workout in because everyone there takes fitness seriously and is goal-driven. Great gym for lifters however the reason for my low rating is one flaw that leaves a bad taste in my mouth and that is the membership pricing and what you get for each option. Each membership option has the same privileges however the prices vary dep ending on which enrollment fee you pay ($99 enrollment = $32 per month, $49 enrollment = $35 per month, $19 enrollment = $39 per month with a $49 annual fee for each membership ). It’s a great gym so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s pricey but this is absolute garbage because all of these membership options provide the same things which is access to the gym and travel card privileges, same exact amount for each. It’s ridiculous how none of these have guest privileges anymore. They had guest privileges on memberships until 2020 when the owner decided to take guest privileges away. We’re already paying so much and can’t have at least guest privileges on our memberships anymore?? Every other gym in Sacramento such as 24 hour, Crunch etc has guest privileges and this one used to but for some odd reason the owner decided to take the guest privileges away despite having us pay so much. It’s ridiculous. Save your money and take your services elsewhere until the owner decides to give members back what they deserve.

NOT A FAMILY FRIENDLY ESTABLISHMENT. My son is homeschooled and the staff demanded a school ID to workout. I explained he was homeschooled and does not go to traditional school therefore does not have a school ID. My son who is 14 meets a friend here to workout once a week ( I pay for a day pass $15 ). The staff also told me that unless I’m working out I can’t even wait in the waiting area for my son. This week I brought my daughter with me to do homework in the car while we wait for my son and the staff told me my 12 year old daughter is not allowed in the facility. When she tried to use the restroom I was told she couldn't because she was 12. Pretty sad when they won’t let a little girl use a restroom.We have traveled to almost every state in the US and have gone to dozens of gyms and this is by far the most unfriendly gym I have ever encountered in my opinion..We have 5 gym memberships in Northern California and I’m thankful this is not one of them.**RESPONSE TO OWNER**The staff did not give me the option to provide a birth certificate. I have paid for a day pass every time we were at this facility. The gym owner states that the gym does not have a waiting area., but I consider the reception area a common area/waiting area, which is not part of the equipment area. I would have been happy waited there and would have not entered the equipment area, but just watched through the windows. Your staff asked if I was going to work out and I responded no, so they told me I could not be in the facility. I was never given the option to pay the day pass fee of 15 dollars to watch my son from the gym floor. I would have done that if given the option. When we arrived my daughter had to go to the restroom and I did stop at the front desk to check in as she walked to the restroom. When your staff asked the age of my daughter I stated she was 12 and he told me she could not be in the equipment area. I told the staff she was going to use the restroom and not be on the equipment floor or workout. The staff then told me well because she is 12 she cant even use the restroom. So I immediately told my son to go retrieve my daughter. So she did not use the restroom as she was headed back there and my son texted her that she needed to come out because she could not use the restroom. She did make it to the restroom, but didn't go because your staff told me she couldn't. So I did take immediate action to retrieve my daughter by sending my son to get her. DEFLECTING BLAME AND TRYING TO PAINT A CUSTOMER AS NON COMPLIANT IS REDICOULOUS. There is no signage stating someone under the age of 13 who is there with a paying customer can not use your restroom. The only part of your response I do agree with is your assertation that its for the best we don't have a membership here.

Hands down best gym in the 916, if you don’t agree then your priorities got mixed up somewhere along the way. Excellent equipment, good gym etiquette (everyone puts back their weights), and the staff are amazing. 95% of the people who show up put in the work, so if you’re slacking then you’ll feel out of place for sure. Good overall environment.Ashley (front desk) even hooked it up twice by giving me a jump start because I forget to turn my lights off in my car.

Awesome gym! Love the environment, the awesome gym equipment, the fact that no matter how many people are clocked in, there is still SO MUCH ROOM and no one is packed in! I did a a day pass and after that i was hooked. I drive almost every day 30+ minutes for this gym, that's how good it is. Old school gym, love it.
