Golds gym is always a good spot to hit the weights. However there is a right time if you're trying to get in and out and short on time. From my personal experience after 3pm -9pm is the most packed times for this location. Before 1pm you should be good considering everyone is at school / work & those that are going after 9pm should be set as well because people do wake up early in the mornings so they have to sleep early. So the gym should be good at that time as well. As far as equipment goes they constantly keep up with broken down equipment it never really stays out of order for more than a few days if the machine is out of order or up for maintenance. This gym is really quick about turn around time for stuff like that compared to other gyms that let their members suffer by not repairing equipment fast enough. Only down side I would say to this gym is not enough 45lb plates. It's a pain to have to search for the plates but other than that the dumbbells go up to 150lbs which is great considering most commercial gyms cap out at 100lbs. The sauna is great too and not tiny so don't worry about having to be super close to someone in there. The gym stays clean and I will continue to come here. Thanks Golds for keeping such an awesome gym for all. ** ALSO ** this gym is service animal friendly ! read more

The biggest con to going here are the paper towel dispensers. About ~85-90% of the time, they do not work. A very big concern when it comes to equipment sanitation bc patrons are NOT able to sanitize the equipment prior and after to usage. Other than that, the facility with fairly-taken care of equipment for a place thats been open for about two years. read more

Just like all new things.... They get old, wither, and die... Machines always broken, the front desk is so rude :/. So sad. Crowded at all hours of the day :/. Wah! read more

despite fulfilling the requirements by bringing in two new members, I have been informed by various staff members that the process is still being delayed. I was initially told that there would be no issue with honoring the promotion, but unfortunately, the situation has now reached a point where it feels as though I have been misled. To date, I have yet to receive any formal acknowledgment or compensation for the promotion, and the issue has been repeatedly postponed with vague responses. As a loyal member who has enjoyed my experience at the gym and actively recommended it to others, I am disappointed by the lack of clarity and follow-through regarding this matter. It is now nearing the one-year mark, and I kindly request that the situation be addressed promptly. Could you please provide a clear timeline for when I can expect the promotion to be honored, or let me know if any additional steps are needed from my side to facilitate the process? Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and a satisfactory resolution. I sent this email to manager on Nov 5 And now I have been waiting for a month. There are no response and resolution at all. I think it is perfectly "Fraudulent Event". I WILL NEVER STOP. You guys are playing with your member?? I want to say I bring 2more than people before though. I would not count it. Because you guys don't want to give anything for my authentic support. read more

Gold's Gym - Fraud Promotion - Gyms Near Me - Cerritos, California

When this location was Gold's Gym, it felt exclusive and intentional. The higher membership cost made sense because it came with: A more serious, focused training environment Generally higher-caliber members who respected the space Great hip music that matched the gym culture An overall sense of quality, pride, and identity tied to the Gold's brand It wasn't just "a gym" - it was Gold's. That name had meaning, history, and standards behind it. Since the switch to EOS, the entire atmosphere has changed, and not for the better: There's more crowding, more kids and casual traffic, and a lot less respect for the space. The environment feels louder, less focused, and less intentional. Equipment seems to be breaking down more often, and overall maintenance/quality doesn't feel at the level it once was. On top of that, original Gold's members have taken a clear loss: Our prices did not go down, even though the brand and experience downgraded. We lost the benefit of going to the Venice "Mecca" location 14 times a year, which was a major selling point for many of us. We originally signed up and paid a premium for Gold's Gym - a brand with a strong legacy in bodybuilding, fitness culture, and standards. We did not sign up for a generic, budget-style gym experience. The whole transition feels like a money grab, where the company benefits from the Gold's legacy and pricing, but delivers a completely different, lower-tier product under EOS. As original Gold's members, we've essentially been stripped of the brand, the benefits, and the atmosphere we paid for, without any real compensation, price adjustment, or meaningful acknowledgment. In short: We didn't pay to be members of just any regular gym. We paid for Gold's - for the brand, the culture, the quality, and the access that came with it. With the change to EOS, the value proposition has shifted dramatically, and long-time members like myself feel misled, devalued, and shortchanged. read more

***PSA to all fellow gym members*** I just found out that the Gold's Gym franchise is paid and funded by leftist media outlets. They take money from radical left companies and stream it on their TVs as "paid promotions" which forces the gym to play shows like The View and many others on a regular basis which spreads misinformation and hate. I think it should be public knowledge that Gold's Gym takes money from the left and if you don't support their messaging and platform, consider supporting another company whose values align with yours. There's plenty of worthy gyms and gym owners out there! I've been a member since this gym location first opened and can say that the culture has shifted over the past 2 years in a negative direction. I'm disappointed to learn the truth behind the company's values. I think who they take money from speaks volumes to the company's mission, ethics, and standards. On another note, here's reviews about the Cerritos gym location according to first-hand experience: Staff friendliness - 3.8/5 Staff attentiveness - 3/5 Gym cleanliness - 3/5 Gym equipment availability - 3.5/5 Gym equipment condition -3.2/5 Paper towel stock/sanitizer - 1/5 Parking lot availability - 3.7/5 Fellow gym member friendliness - 4.2/5 Bathroom Condition - 2/5 Sauna - 2.5/5 Air Conditioning - 2/5 Overall, it's disappointing to know that this gym is willing to compromise their values for profit. Although I understand the economic benefits, I can't continue to support a company who so openly does this. I would expect a gym to know their customer base better and assume that the people coming to the gym on a regular basis are looking to improve themselves. Which is opposite of the messages being promoted and streamed by their paid programming. read more

They have amazing aerobics instructors but their app registration to get in the class is BS. They have bouncers at the door and stanchions like they are a night club checking if you are "on the list" . Out of the 500 machines they have, only 1 machine for quads that works (for the last 3 months. There is always a line. The Place is packed and vibin' most of the time but if you are trying to get a real workout make sure to give yourself time to wait or have a bunch of alternatives. Oh and did I mention the app doesn't work for everyone? read more

"I'm rating this Gold's Gym in Cerritos one star because it's a complete disaster. The sanitation is awful--the sauna is grimy, the restrooms are disgusting with no toilet paper and urine/feces smeared around, and the whole place reeks like a mix of stale sweat, mold, and neglect. It's unbearable! On top of that, it's way too crowded--there are far more people than machines, so you're stuck waiting forever and when you finally get a machine, they're stained with sweat because no one cleans them or wipes them down.. They contract cleaners, but they're missing the mark entirely, leaving everything filthy. Worse, a ton of the machines are broken, some for months, and management doesn't seem to care about fixing them. Avoid this gym unless you enjoy chaos and stench." read more

The marketing team clearly does their job well because this gym is always packed. Unfortunately, if you're looking for a quick or efficient workout, that's tough to manage here. For a newer gym, it doesn't feel very well maintained -- dumbbells and equipment are scattered everywhere, even in the "escape room" area I paid extra for. The squat rack in there didn't have plates, and the overall organization was lacking. Staff really need to stay on top of keeping things in order. Overall, I'd give this gym a 2 out of 5. It has potential, but there's plenty of room for improvement. read more

There are times when the gym is over crowded. After 5pm on the weekdays the crowd is younger and a lot of posturing. I typically go early morning between 5am and 6am and I'm out by 8am. Slows down after 7am. They do a fairly good job of fixing equipment quickly. Sauna works great. The equipment I use is usually always available. Short wait. Not everyone wipes down equipment. Occasionally the disinfectant or the paper towels is out. I carry wipes just in case. read more

The gym looks well maintained, but it needs more wiping stations and the water fountain needs a new filter. read more

Gold's Gym - Gyms Near Me - Cerritos, California

I've been a member here for a while, and unfortunately, the facility has really gone downhill. A lot of the equipment is outdated and even rusty in some areas, which makes it feel unsafe and poorly maintained. The gym isn't kept up well in terms of cleanliness either -- floors, machines, and locker rooms often look like they haven't been cleaned properly. Another big issue is the lack of cardio machines. During peak hours, it's almost impossible to find an available treadmill, elliptical, or bike. For a gym with this name and price point, I expected much better upkeep and investment in equipment. Until they make improvements, I wouldn't recommend this location. read more

I'd like to commend Ricardo Galvan (Ricky), maintenance worker at Gold's Gym Cerritos, for his outstanding service. On several occasions, the screen in the cycling studio was off during scheduled virtual classes, preventing me and other members from working out. Each time I asked Ricky for assistance, he responded promptly and positively, and quickly got the virtual class on for us. He was consistently polite, professional, and displayed a positive attitude. Ricky's responsiveness, helpfulness, problem-solving skills, and friendly demeanor greatly improved my experience at Gold's Gym Cerritos. Ricky is a true asset to Gold's Gym, and I strongly believe he deserves to be recognized for his excellent customer service. Gold's Gym is lucky to have him. read more

Gold's Gym - Virtual Bike Class - Gyms Near Me - Cerritos, California

Updated 5/1/24: Was going to provide an a better review because the gym has gotten a lot cleaner (ish) but then I encountered a staff member in the front whom I asked if one of the televisions can be changed. His response was " we probably don't have that channel." And in my mind I'm like how do you know what channel I'm requesting so I said, " the clippers?!" You don't have sports channels? Then proceeds with " isn't that them right there." Pointing at a replay of the lakers. I wouldn't have came up to request the game to be on if it was on there.... That was so annoying! They end up changing it & it was good. But come on... that is just.. a face palm . read more

This used to be a Gold's Gym, and now it's EOS. Hoping the new management keeps up the good work! The facility is clean, but last week felt a bit disorganized -- maybe due to the transition.

terrible customer service.

Free day pass is excluded for military members. weird. read more

Finally made my way back to the gym and extremely disappointed. 1) limited parking. When there is no parking, you can spot at least 5 cars with the person with lights just sitting there apparently texting. 2) gym etiquette: the norm is several texting on machine while NOT EXERCISING. Also, they leave the machine with backpack near it to HOLD THE MACHINE. They can be gone a long time. The worst is they just sit on machine LOUNGING. 3) unsympathetic employee at desk. I finally got up the nerve to vent to them, and she listened and said there's nothing they can do about it. Then she walked away without finishing conversation. I wasn't yelling or anything. Just normal indoor voice. 3:20pm 7/11/25 That's it. I'm leaving. read more

I stumbled upon this gym as it was getting ready to officially open! The team seemed super super friendly and helpful! Being new to Southern California I am excited to get to know the area and so excited that this gym has opened up only a few miles from my house! This gym is a huge club and has literally everything you could need in a gym! There's got to be at least a dozen platforms with a wide variety of bumper plates, and two of every machine between the brands, Cybex and hammer strength. I highly recommend checking this gym out as it is definitely the best gold I have been to in the world so far!!!!! read more

Old manager offered 3 free months due to terrible customer service. Called to follow up and was told no notes were on my account in regards to that. Spoke with new manager Fernando who constantly interrupted me. Essentially called me a liar, told me there was 11,000 members there and people make up stories all the time. Also stated that he " isn't going to give me any money back if that's what I'm asking for. " Was rude and condescending from the moment he answered the phone Gym itself is terribly packed, tons of teens & long wait times for machines. read more

your environment is toxic. Make it less toxic and make the members pay more so you can thin the crowd. UFC has provided me with better amenities and actually friendly people. Your gym has only been rude disrespectful and disgusting. Please make sure the higher ups above you see this. Your employees are rude the people who go there are rude and just mad dog you the whole time, the gym is packed like sardines all day except the early early morning and its still busy at that time. Oh and you arent 24 hours and no cryo and no pre prepped meals by chefs. UFC gym have classes for everything Boxing Jiu jitsu Wrestling They have a daycare and a shake bar. The employees are never rude and have more experience and intelligence than any employee you will ever hire. I will never recommend this toxic environment to anyone ever. OH and last thing they give better discounts and benefits to Veterans. read more

Terrible gym, I went today and the AC was completely broken. It seems like there is always something broken at this location. The girls in the front seem more interested in socializing with other people than actually doing their jobs. I heard from a friend that one of the girls there gave away someone else's keys to some random person at the gym. Also the third hip thrust has been broken for almost two months now. And the step up machine is also broken. Everything at this gym is broken at any given point read more

Love this gym. The instructors are the best. The facility is clean, equipment is kept up, everything works and if it needs repair, it is done in a timely manner. Great gym read more

I've tried to refrain from leaving this review as I thought that perhaps the issues I was experiencing would eventually rectify itself, but to my dismay, that has not been the case at all. I've been a member here for about 2-3 years now. I go almost every morning M-F like clockwork and the cleanliness of this gym has gone down astronomically. The AM staff are the usual folks, friendly, attentive, and as helpful as can be considering they probably rolled out of bed just a few minutes prior but my biggest (and probably only gripe) is just the overall cleanliness. The dumbbells are almost nowhere to be found, the outdoor room is always a mess with dumbbells everywhere, the mirrors are disgusting with saliva and sweat stains literally everywhere, etc. I'm really not expecting this place to be pristine, but it seems as if the night shift just completely disregards the re-racking of weights, cleaning, and restocking of paper towels within the gym. It's a shame because I already know of several folks that have switched gyms because of this reason. If I were the owner of this company, I'd seriously be questioning the staffs competence in fulfilling their basic job descriptions as all I see is lost money. read more

Gold's Gym in Cerritos is probably one of the nicest gyms I've gone to with the best price for membership. My girl friends and I love taking selfies in the bathroom because the lighting is amazing. The showers and the bathroom are clean every time I visit, there is a lot of different types of equipment, and there is a variety of fitness classes. I like how they have a lot of squat racks and hip thrust machines. And if you are a Platinum member - you have the "Escape Room" where you have to use a special entrance card to get a private room with its own set of squat racks and weights. One thing I don't like is how crowded it gets - which is not really the gym's fault because I choose to go at the busiest time. But the crowd causes the parking lot to be extremely packed! There's a bunch of signs everywhere that say No Gym parking until after 7PM - which makes it even harder to find parking. But other than that - I really like the fitness classes. I've gone to the weight lifting ones and my favorite is the cycling class. The cycling class is cool because they play house music along with have a video of this virtual course to simulate you riding through it. These classes are better than smaller, more expensive studios I've gone to! So even though parking sucks - I recommend coming here to try this gym out. read more

Way too crowded! Parking lot is packed. The gym was flooded with people waiting in line to lift. This was at 10pm on a Monday. If you are considering joining this gym I suggest you try it out before you join. Go around the normal time you plan to lift and see what's it's like. I don't have time to sit and wait for people. You lose the "pump" and waste double the time it should take. Just bought a new membership. Gym is huge, clean and it has the best machines. Unfortunately, they sold way too many memberships and the gym is over crowded. I talked to the front desk and they said the only time it is not crowded is 1-3 pm. Other than that, get in line,lol. I'm very disappointed but I found another gym that does not have long wait times. Now I have to go through the process of cancelling my membership. Really wanted this to work. I love the idea of being part of an iconic name like Golds. I still watch pumping iron and see Arnold rocking the golds gym tank. read more
