Recent renovations have added new squat racks, leg machines, and treadmills, improving the overall workout experience. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the gym is generally clean and spacious.

It's a pretty average gym but probably below average amongst the rest of the gold's gyms in the valley.Parking lot barely has any lighting and feels somewhat unsafe.Equipment is decent enough but could use some improvements. I've been noticing small improvements over the last few months.Over all there are better gyms to go to but this one is good enough.5/10 ⭐Update: They've fixed the parking lot lighting. It looks like they're trying to make improvements but still feels lackluster. The gym most of the time is incredibly humid, uncomfortably humid. I get that we're there to exercise but if I want a sauna I'll go to one for that. AC still constantly leaks. Nasty men's room. Nice staff though! But you're not getting your money's worth. I'll probably only keep this membership for the leg workout area but that's it, not my main gym anymore. If I wasn't paying a discounted rate I would definitely cancel this membership.Solid 4/10⭐️

Horrible policies they now how to rob people very well!! after attempting to cancel for over year they told me sure just wait for it to end the year becuz you will pay a fee if you cancel now. So I waited it out and continue paying without using ever their service, after a year they still continued to charge monthly plus fees becuz i apparently have an automatic renewal policy that they didn’t say when I attempted to cancel from the very beginning. They know how to do it so u never stop paying them, I tried to cancel again today and now I gotta pay over $200 to cancel due to 3 months past the contract year plus fees. And the worst part was their suppose manager there stated they got tons of people there just paying and not ever stepping the gym. Horrible horrible place!!

Mens Restroom has no A/C and smells terrible, no lockers are available since they’ve been locked and staff does not know how to unlock them. Machines are torre and missing attachments or bolts in some case. Very poorly maintained gym

Great gym after the remodel. Bring headphones though because the gym music playlist is trash. We get it, y'all like techno and female vocalists... No one else does.

I was looking forward to trying out Gold's gym's free pass . I show up at the front desk at 6:00 a.m. only to be told that the free pass does not apply to out of towners. It would have been great if they would have advertised that on their website before I wasted my time.

It’s a great gym but how management staff treats the employees is horrible. I was looking forward to getting some personal training but the let go of the one trainer I found who understood the needs I wanted was a bummer I asked for help and he was spot on with it. Wouldn’t recommend personal training services until management staff is changed they just have random ppl who walk around or sit all day.

For a place that charges an arm and a leg, it sure is in terrible condition. Half the machines are busted in some way, shape, or form. Most of the cable machines get stuck during use because the wires are bare and there is ZERO knurling on any of the attachments. Benches are all torn and bars are rusted beyond belief. Free weight section is TINY, max the area is 8x10. The only redeeming quality is the cardio machines work and the staff is cool. Kind of makes you wonder where all the money you pay is going. Probably into the owners pocket because it sure isn't into the gym. Your honeslty better off going to another gym and paying half with more locations and newer gyms.

I consider this gym one of the better Gold's in the valley. They have made major improvements with the new renovations. They have added new squat racks, leg machines, upper body and back machines as well as new treadmills. I think this is also one of the more cleaner Gold's I have been to. I highly recommend this location. It's not overly crowded and plenty of space to move around. I think they are moving in the right direction.
