425 FITNESS BOTHELL

It is a bit of a small gym and doesn't have a pool but it makes up for those drawbacks with a variety of equipment and an obvious attention to cleanliness. Also, the staff id's very friendly and helpful. It's a pretty nice little gym.

People are so negative. I dropped in here 3 times over Christmas break while visiting my sister's family. In short: this gym defines new old school, has two of everything needed to workout, and is staffed by friendly people.The old school iron weights were a really cool experience and a great change from the rubberized iron at every corporate golds in the south. Additionally, they were all in great shape, and kept immaculately clean.On cleanliness: There are wet sanitized wipes stationed throughout the gym, as well as towel and spray bottles. There was literally an employee wiping the handles of every dumbbell with sanitizer while I worked out. Wow.As for employees: when I dropped in Christmas Eve I thought my corporate membership would apply. I found out that this and all golds in Washington are franchise golds. The guy understood my error and let me workout no problem. That easy, that friendly. This review is the least I can do to return the kindness.Additionally, there is 2 or more of everything. Squat racks, presses, machines, stair masters (4).I travel for work now and have been sick of only seeing petty vindictive reviews left for gyms. Seriously, grow up people. This is the first in what will be gym ratings for every gym I drop in to in the US. This gym rocks and has everything you need. Don't hesitate to go here.

Great gym. Staff and members are very friendly and helpful. A lot of people here are very serious about their fitness goals and always try to help out and wont complain when you ask for a spot. The only thing that i could reccomend is more space for equipment during peak hours but they just kind of did that so no complaints really.

I love Gold's Gym! Everyone is super nice and knows you by name. The trainers are super accommodating, helpful and trusting so your experience is 100%!The front desk staff are also super helpful and nice to talk to. If you have any concerns or issues they are there to assist you quickly and painlessly.I also love that Gold's equipment is accommodating to physical needs as well. I feel like I can work out safely and if I need help I can just ask.If someone were to ask me where they should go to work out or become a member of a gym I would say definitely check out Gold's Gym! You won't regret it.

Rude reception. No hello or how can I help you. You want members learn how to say how may I help you and good day. Use some courtesy. Utterly utterly rude. If I treated customers that kind of unwarm welcome I'd be fired. More hassle than help.

This is the best gym I have ever worked out at. The atmosphere is energetic and motivating, the memebers are friendly, and the staff is awesome! I would reccomend this gym to anyone who is serious about their fitness and wants a high quality lifting experience.

What gym does not have a towel service??? Especially considering how much money this location generates, it's always busy. They do not maintain their machines is top condition, especially the cardio machines. Just cheap owners, plain & simple. It just shows a lack of consideration for it's members.

I've been going to this gym for over a year and am finally moving on to a different one. My only complaints is 1). The gym gets really crowded and you'll have to guard your equipment otherwise it will be taken by someone else during peak hours. 2). Parking lot is horrible during peak hours. You'll literally need to follow people with your car to get their spot. Otherwise I loved the atmosphere and workers.

I was stunned. I am in finals week, I used to Box and I needed to go and relieve some stress. I work close by so I called to see if they had a Heavy Bag and what it would cost to come in on a day pass. I could not even get a question out before I was put on hold, then was able to ask a question and before I could finish again I was put on hold.

I have been a member at this gym for over 15 years, and this gym has really gone down hill over the years. I think most of it has to do with poor ownership decisions. They spent a ton of money on a climbing rock, and then when no one used it, they packed a bunch of equipment around it so that it can't be used at all. They got rid of all spin classes, and a whole bunch of other classes as well. They got rid of their towel service, and their childcare. If you want to clean up your equipment, they expect you to grab one of the totally disgusting towels that are hanging around the gym and are filled with strangers' sweat. But that's okay, because they never really enforce any of the gym rules anyway. Then they spent money making up a movie room with treadmills in it to replace the childcare room. The equipment is often broken, and when you notify them about it, they put a sign on it, and it stays there for several weeks, and then the sign gets removed, but oftentimes the equipment is not fixed. The owner, John Hamilton, seems like a decent guy, but I have not seen him at the gym for years. Maybe this is the problem. He also owns two other gyms in the area, and they are much nicer. This is obviously the runt of the litter and it shows. They also really are known for their high pressure sales tactics. The manager is a complete jerk. When my daughter grew old enough, I wanted to quit paying for the childcare and switch her to our membership. The cost should have significantly less, but it wasn't. They also charged me $110 for the paperwork. This, after I have been a customer there for so long. Parking is also a huge problem. During busy times, there are often staff that park in the fire lanes, which is illegal. They also have ensured that their parking spaces are extremely small and difficult to get in and out of. The only reason that I go here is because it is so close to my house.
