425 FITNESS BOTHELL

Really unfortunate experience at 425 fitness in Bothell. I was referred to the club from a client of mine. Interested in eventually joining, I just walked in to ask about what sort of temporary passes were available. I was even willing to pay for it. Anthony said that they don’t offer anything like a 30 day pass, but just a full membership or $15 per day. I said that’s too bad, and I just walked out. He didn’t even offer a trial of any kind. Guess I’ll look elsewhere.

Went for an NPC posing clinic but was denied entry at the door by staff because I had my 7 year old son with me. The front desk staff, whom mentioned she was the manager, was unable to provide any details beyond “its because insurance”.I understand not allowing children on the gym floor for liability (and practical) purposes, but certainly a supervised child in an empty studio doesn’t meet the same legal criteria. If that wasn’t the case a more detailed explanation would have been nice.

I am not a member. We have a beautiful gym in my office that is free. However, I am training for a race and had a nine mile training run to do. My plan was to do it outside today, but the snow was just not melted enough. I called Golds and asked what it would cost to use a treadmill. They allowed me to come in for free and use the treadmill. I got my run done and don’t break my leg doing it! If I ever need a gym membership I will remember this!

Ive been going to golds for 6 years. I loved the old staff. The new staff here seem super snobby and dont even acknowledge you when you walk in. I honestly think it's super rude to not greet your members especially since I've been a member for awhile. I love the gym itself, and I'm very comfortable there but wish the new staff had better manners.

Great gym. Facilities are clean, machines are well maintained and there is plenty of space. Staff is great.

This is the best gym I've been a member of, I worked out here for about 4 years and unfortunately had to move out of the area. If you're wanting to lift weights, this is the place to go.The signup/sales process is what you should expect at any gym, and if you're ready for it you can make sure you get a good deal. Regardless, it was less expensive to work out here than most other gyms I've gone to, and they had better hours and more equipment.Lots of weight equipment, from a good variety of machines to 5 bench press stations, 2 incline benches, 1 decline bench, 2 squat racks and 1 power rack, 1 seated shoulder press rack, 2 smith machines, plenty of floor space and flatbenches for dumbbell and other barbell movements. Even during peak hours, I hardly ever had to wait for something I wanted to use. If I did, it wasn't a long wait.Gym is clean, lots of cardio options, and tons of regulars. I'd see the same people there all the time, even though I hardly spoke to anyone it was cool to lift in a place where you felt like you were part of the family. Never saw any fights or arguing, and most people were happy to give you a spot, or ask for a spot if they needed. Just an all around friendly atmosphere and I looked forward to going there on my workout days.The only real downside was the parking lot, it sometimes would completely fill up during peak hours. It wasn't too often, but a few times I would have to circle the lot and wait for a spot to open, which could be a pain. But I guess that's what happens when you have a good gym with good prices and equipment; people will want to go there. Equipment would break on rare occasion, but always seemed to be fixed quickly, definitely faster than repairs at other gyms I've been to.Cancelling was also a breeze, other gyms (including another Gold's location that is not affiliated with this Gold's) hassle you to not cancel, or make you send something via certified mail somewhere to stop your payments or some other BS. All I had to do here was talk to someone at the front desk, fill out a quick form, and that was it. Simple, hassle-free, and respectful. I am totally bummed that I'm not able to go to this gym anymore, I hope that I'll be back in the area and will be able to go back.

I use to like Golds gym a lot, it was my favorite gym because the diverse workout equipment, Friendly staff, and 24 hour access! It’s not 24 hours anymore!!! No longer a 24 hour access and the current hours suck... unless you want to wake up at 5am or 6am- you might. It is the worst gym in the area for convenient hours. If you are looking for a gym that can accommodate your schedule do not count on this gym. In my opinion they could solve the problem by leaving the gym open until 12 PM. Or at the very least leave the gym open until 12PM, except Fridays and Saturdays- leave it open until 11 PM.The other thing that caught my eye is the turnover rate with staff. I think it’s unusually high or at the very least it has been recently. That tells me there’s something wrong with the leadership. There has been other issues as well that have to do with the way leadership traits customers/clientele but those will not be helpful to hear as they only affect my personal experience. What will affect most people’s personal experience is the combination of inconsistent hours and staff staying employed which makes for very awkward environment. I definitely recommending going to another gym, try another gym.I say all this reluctantly because I love my personal trainer who works there! He’s giving me fantastic results and I can’t thank you enough! It sucks that the leadership of the gym has such poor performance that it would drive clientele away from their personal trainers- I will continue to work with my personal trainer but I know many people have left and continue to leave the gym because they were promised better hours and access to a place they pay to frequent.

overall a great gym. good vibes but mostly i love the amount of good weights machines etc they own

The golds staff are friendly and attentive without being overwhelming. The only thing I can think of to make this gym better is early morning classes!!!

They have all the equipment I need for lifting! Nice staff. Wouldn't mind if they cleaned the showers, they're pretty dirty but otherwise I can't really complain.
