I was a member at this gym from 2005-2014. I left the gym to join a powerlifting team. During that time Golds took on new ownership , Austin and his father. Austin is an awesome man that has competed at high level and respects the sport of bodybuilding to the fullest. He goes above and beyond to meet the needs of his members. The gym is clean and more diverse than it was in terms of the type of training you can do. I know there are bigger things to come, which include even more upgrades to the training equipment. Super proud of Austin and happy to be a member once again.

This gym is very clean and organized. There is also usually someone familiar to greet you at the front desk. However, Kimberly deserves a mention because she is friendly, professional looking, and always very helpful!

I love Gold’s Gym Peoria! I have been a member since 2013 and the improvements that have been made over the last year and some odd months have been nothing short of amazing! Austin has been a great addition to the team as a GM and I can’t wait to see all that is to come! Really looking forward to the new equipment this fall!

I love love LOVE this gym! It’s very clean, aesthetically pleasing, their machine selection is phenomenal and they are constantly upgrading and getting new equipment and very consistent in fixing anything that is broken, including mirrors. They even have a sauna. They have an indoor track! They have TWO fitness class rooms, one for standard classes and the other specifically for spin. And I find the people who lift there to be much nicer and more welcoming than the people at planet fitness. If you’ve been thinking ofComing in I implore you to come by and check her out. I’ve never been in a better gym and that is including other golds in Florida, gyms in the area and a couple gyms for the wealthy in Beijing China. Plus it’s only 40 a month so super affordable.

Chris Reid always smiles and greets me.In fairness everyone is nice and always smiles! I love how i dont feel rushed cause there is plenty of equipment for everyone. I hate rushing especially when i see big guys hovering. But since there arw lots of equipment or machines, i am able to do everything i need to.I could spend a whole day in the gym because there is so much to do and i can also chill at the sauna. I love how theyve got almost wvery machine for every muscle group. They also have bumper plates olympic plates. I love that when i deadlift, even when it gets too heavy for me and i drop the barbell, i dont get weird looks. Im not trying to show off, its just dangerous for me to try and drop it gracefully. They have a deadlifting platform.I have sensitive skin and im glad im not breaking out in hives when i workout because the place is clean.every member wipes the equipmemt after every use.Theres a health bar in front. I have yet to try their shakes or protein bars though. I think theyre reasonably priced.No one rushes me in the bathroom or shower rooms either. I spend hours there doing my hair sometimes.The music is not the greatest though. They tune in on a certain fm station on the radio. I dont mind because i have my ownn earphones anyway.Its a plus that whenever i forget to bring my water bottle, i can always hydrate at the drinking fountain.The people are nice. Even those big muscly guys and girls dont mind you or dont look at you weird even jf you are a beginner. Also dont be intimidated because almost everyone here looks like an athletwIve been to many gyms in the philippines. Golds peoria so far has been the best ive gone to.Ps: when are you going to have your hipthrust machine?
