Let's face it, going to the gym can be an intimidating experience for some. Encountering any of these people (http://dailyburn.com/life/fitness/worst-people-gym-etiquette/) can keep newer gym-goers away. While you are certainly going to encounter folks of that caliber at any gym, the experience at Gold's Gym in Fishkill is a pleasant one for newbies and experienced gym folk, alike. The staff is top-notch in helping you get in shape via personal training, answering any questions you may have, or suggesting which post-workout shake to consume based on your fitness needs. They are very friendly and courteous; always a plus in my opinion. There are a myriad of group classes to participate in, in addition to the individually tailored personal training sessions. Upstairs features some cardio equipment which overlooks the facility, including a movie-viewing room for those who wish to find some sort of escape while they sweat profusely all over the treadmill. There are machines and free-weights galore; ones you don't have to wait for providing you stay away during peak hours (5pm-7pm comes to mind). Need a post-workout shake? Saddle up to the shake bar and order away. Preparing for a vacation or are you just as pale as a jar of mayonnaise? Hit the on-site tanning booths. Gold's has a lot for those who are looking to get the most out of their time at the gym. This, again, counts not only the experienced, but also the not-so-sure who need that little spark to ignite their proverbial fire. Overall, a great establishment. read more

Gold's Gym - Gyms Near Me - Fishkill, New York

As far as a Gym, it's got everything you need. Although this Golds is pretty small in comparison to others, I've been to. It's in a Plaza so it's got plenty of parking and it seems like it needs an update some of the machinery he's either walk or broken, but it does have your standard Cardio studios and some movie, theater, action and freeway to go up to about 175 so overall a great place to go, but as far as Golds Gym club on a few things. read more

place is actually too crowded for the $ it's not worth it with no steam room , they're also not a real golds gym , in that you don't get privileges at other golds gyms since Fishkill is not a partner but an individual for profit business , cutting their costs and increasing rates merely to profit from the dutchess community . the management is racist , do not join this facility . better off with planet fitness , personally i go to a cleaner facility , nearby where I work in the metro . much better equipment , less crowded and more reasonably priced for the value it brings . Drop fitness read more

I've been a member here since they first opened and used to love it. Anymore it seems as though the management doesn't care about the place. A lot of the equipment is outdated and dirty. Can't speak for women but the men's locker room and shower area is filthy. Obviously the steam room was closed during the Covid pandemic but it has never been reopened and from what I understand it never will be. The sauna is open but barely gets warm. I have made a lot of friends here over the years. Some I will miss. Some have already moved on. Today I canceled my membership at Gold's and joined Allsport Fishkill. I need a fully functioning gym. read more

Unfortunately, they aren't requiring proof of vaccination even in the face of Omicron, so I canceled my membership. This is just a note to let any COVID-conscious person know not to go here. I'm bummed I had to cancel, but letting unvaccinated people in is just not okay. Plus, it's hard to get away from all the TVs showing Fox News, ugh. read more

Been a member for 5+ years, first time I ever bring a guest and they're charging me 15$ no military discount, change your policies, bcus this ain't it chief read more

Definitely a brand new gym and still has that 'squeaky-clean-new' feeling to it. The set-up is very Globo-gym. You half expect to see Ben Stiller walk out in a purple one piece. Walking in to the main floor, you walk by the open setup of weightlifting machines, past a long wall of mirrors (try not to look if you're feeling frumpy), and finally down the hallway towards the locker rooms. No sneaking into this gym! Everyone sees you as you walk in! Slightly intimidating for the first time visitor. The main floor is all weight-lifting - about a third is full of free weights, and the rest are nautilus(like?) machines arranged in a circle. In the center of the circle is where most trainers have their trainees doing interesting personal training exercises while said trainees do their darndest to pretend that they're NOT being stared at by the cardio-gawkers above.. The trainers are mostly young: between 20 - 30'ish - and willing to help a hand... IF you go out of the way to grab one. Don't expect help if you look confused or if you're certain you're not doing something right. (I definitely saw a lady sitting the wrong way on a machine once). Towards the side of the room, away from the watchful eyes of the treadmillers upstairs, you can do situps and pushups etc. on the mats which are near a row of equipment: weights, balls, ropes etc. Towards the back of the room are a few very large rooms for a variety of classes with seriously enthused instructors. And also a platform of cardio equipment: stairsteppers, crosstrainers, treadmills etc. which have their own individual tv's - perfect for secretly watching that show which your friends may mock you for. If you head up on the set of stairways next to that, you'll pass a Spinning classroom which is almost always packed full of happy sweaty people, and towards the cardio area which are mostly brand new Precor machines. As you walk by the treadmill-lined balcony (a.k.a. "The cardiodeck") overlooking the main floor and a set of flat-screen tv's, you'll get to where the crosstraining machines and to the Cardiotheater. The cardiotheater is FABULOUS - I've watched full movies before realizing that my feet hurt from running so many miles. There are treadmills, cross-steppers, and bikes- all arranged so you can see, and the many speakers around the room make for great surround sound. There's also a Lady Golds connected to the women's lockerroom - a small room but a decent amount of cardio and weightlifting machines and equipment. Overall, the gym has A LOT to offer and the clientele range from college-aged people, to a healthy set of grandparents; and then there's the somewhat intimidating contingent of die-hard-Golds-gym-overtanned musclemen in their tight tanktops and way-too-short-shorts. This is a group that frequents on Thursday evenings especially. (Don't say I didn't warn you). The make-up, set-up and sterility of this gym make it a bit cold, but if you can get past that, you've got all the equipment necessary (plus some) for a great work-out. read more

This gym has such outdated equipment I wonder why they are charging me a monthly fee for?! Gross. Clearly they need more competition in the area. read more

Membership staff is absolutely horrendous. Scammed me out of $60. Promised me a refund over the phone and never followed through, then acted like they never promised a refund when I followed up. I paid for an 8 month membership up front and was told it would be automatically canceled, and then I was charged the monthly fee twice before I changed my credit card number so they could no longer charge me. They require a written request of cancellation or cancellation by certified mail, so it was virtually impossible for me to cancel as a student going to school out of the state. Seems like this sentiment is echoed in other reviews. God awful, shameless establishment. read more

When my wife and I were in the process of joining Golds we were told that it was more of a "guys gym" than anything else and that this location was small and lacked the amenities of a similar gym just down the road. After having been a member here for the last few months I'm not sure what these people were talking about If your workouts consist of weights and the occasional cardio (treadmill, elliptical, rowing machine, etc) then you'll be completely satisfied. If you're more into classes (yoga, aerobics, spin, boot camp, etc) then you're all set here as well. The gender specific designation of this gym is absolutely not true. Sure on the main floor the numbers are skewed towards men, but if you look at the overall picture its pretty much even. They also have "Lady's Golds" which is a women only workout room isolated from the rest of the gym and for women who prefer to avoid the creeper peeper men more interested in scouting them out than actually working out. For those interested, there's a boxing room, and the men's locker room has a nice sauna for pre and post workouts. Full showers are available for those who need to not smell like they've just been to the gym as well. Can it get crowded? Sure, but not more so than other local competitors. Even on the most jam packed days I've always been able to get a workout in without a problem. For those who need pools, and basketball courts you can always hop over to the other branch in Lagrangeville (included in this membership) Overall a solid gym choice and something for every type workout personality. Not just a guys gym! read more

Great place to train, wonderful staff and plenty of equipment, not over run by cardio machines like most gyms these days. All they need is a pool. read more

Gold's Gym - So early - Gyms Near Me - Fishkill, New York

I cancelled my membership there 8 months ago because I am now a member of All Sport in Fishkill. They came out of nowhere and started billing me out of the blue and claimed I had only "frozen" my account and that I never cancelled it. I contacted the manager and they only offered to cancel my contract if I came in there again and fill out he form again, but I am responsible to pay for a membership that I have not used in over a year. Stay away! If you leave, cancel your credit card these people are worse than thirsty vampires!!! read more

I have been a member for over a year now and have tried pretty much all the classes and have a personal trainer. Overall, I am happy with being a member. I have had no rude interactions with anyone there, staff or patrons. I like the enjoy the classes both the GCX and the personal training classes. The trainers are great. I will say that the women's locker room can at times be gross as one person mentioned and recently, as in two weeks ago, I wanted to use a treadmill but about 4 were broken. Overall, I am happy. read more

Honestly I've been going to Golds since 2016 and they keep trying to update it but it seems like they still have old equipment. Also a lot the cardio machines are broken. My other problem is the there is NO space of an open room to work out. They have a tiny room in the front and all the other larger space rooms are closed and used for classes only. I will say that golds does have a lot of gym equipment but if you don't go at 2 in the afternoon or 10 at night you'll be waiting to use machines. It's to small of a gym for how many people go there. The owner needs to buy out more space or expand it. Women's bathroom is also ALWAYS dirty. Never any toilet paper and there's paper towels and water all over the sinks. The showers always have clumps of hair in them too. Everytime I walk in there's this smell at the gym. I know it sounds funny of course people smell at the gym but it's super distinct when you walk in. I am really debating to switch to PF gym. I think golds should be $15-20 a moth but I pay 30. I don't think it's worth it anymore. read more

Instead of installing amazon lockers, maybe ownership could have made sure the men's locker room has fully functioning showers.

This gym is a lot smaller than its local affiliates (Poughkeepsie sister has a soccer field and 2 restaurants inside it; Newburgh sister has a pool inside of it), but it is far from cramped. When you check in, the front desk clerks are almost always friendly and helpful. Great tip - you can get a bottle of water for $1 if you forget yours which is close to the tanning salons (and the orange tanning salon clerks have never been helpful or seem like they have a clue), but regardless, ignore them and go to the helpful gym desk clerks. In regards to the people who sign you up for a membership, I kinda feel that they're not always completely honest with membership terms and what the scoop is, but I will say that this gym has a LOT less fine print and red tape than Planet Fitness (comparing that gym to this gym is night and day, and you're about to see why). A previous user had mentioned to avoid looking at the mirrors when you're walking in but honestly, Contrary to what the previous poster said, the gym is very segmented and spacious so no one notices you when you walk in - which is the opposite of how I used to feel at other cramped, local gyms. Also contrary to the previous poster, the main floor is NOT all weight lifting. If you go all the way to your left, this is what they call "classic gold's", you will see a lot of buff guys there and a lot of 'diesel girls' there (I often like to peek over there because what those girls can do makes me realize that I have a long way to go! I can't even do ONE pull up!) There's an empty floor section by the Classic Gold section that has a bunch of Kettlebells, bosu (sp?) balls, resistance bands and a lot of other cool stuff for core workouts. In case you like working out with kettlebells, make a note of this b/c this is the only place where they are. Next to Classic Golds are about 10 cardio machines, all of them with televisions on them (about 6 treadmills, 2 ellipticals and 2 of those 360 gliders). There's also a couple of PT bikes near by too. Towards the right, the room is split - on your right, there are your typical nautilis, circuit machines, which can be good but I prefer what's on the left, the cable balanced weight lift machines (that puts separate but equal pressure on each of your limbs instead of using one solid piece of metal to distribute the weight). Haven't seen any other gym in the area that uses it and I think it's great. Behind this area is the GGX class room - which offers everything you can imagine from strength training classes, dance classes, zumba, kick boxing...all for free! You have to pay extra for Yoga but at $4 a class, it's much cheaper than the per class cost at local Yoga studios. Upstairs is the RPM room (spinning class). You always have to sign up in advance and it's intense but everyone I know who takes it loves it! Walk past this room and you'll see a wide array of cardio equipment, new and old. You have a wide variety of stuff to choose from, and even though the machines are close together, you never feel 'up in somebody's biz'. There's a bunch of tvs and great music stations and Gold Gym itself offers a great motivational music channel. The cardio cinema room is my favorite! Did you know that if no one else is in the room, you can request them to restart the movie from the beginning? It's so great in there, and just a tip, if the movie is a little too slow to work out hard to, pop your ipod in for some motivational music! When you go downstairs next to the Cardio Cinema room, you'll see the boxing room (which they offer regularly and is a very great price for what you get!!) and then there is the Ladies Gold room. It's a great place to work out free weights or have a bunch of equipment close by at your disposal but a word of advice, 1.) it can get unbearable when it gets crowded in there, especially if you're in the zone and 2.) the A/C seems to be off in there 50% of the time. From the Ladies Gold room, you can walk into the locker room. A very great, always clean locker room that I only have one complaint about - it's not really segmented enough to allow for you to have some privacy getting dressed/undressed away from other people. I don't participate in the paid, small group training or personal training packages but I have done demo classes and the instructors are always great and energetic. They have a great deal going on now that makes their small group training classes very affordable. Also, for $52/month, you can get membership to all 3 of the local Golds in the area-including the one I mentioned earlier with the pool and the soccer field. :) Lastly, never be afraid to ask for help. Contrary AGAIN to what the previous poster said, everyone at Gold's has always been amazingly helpful which is why I've been a member there for 3 solid years. Gold's is a warm place that offers a lot of different options to stay in shape, either by yourself or with a group. Definitely give Gold's a chance - you won't be sorry!!! read more

This Gold's has a questionable rep from folks and other reviews, but it's actually fine . I come here for a few months out the year, and although some equipment needs to be fixed and updated, there are some very good pro's. The staff are knowledgeable and busy, the price is borderline decent, the classes seem well, the space is good even though it could be a bit bigger, and the parking is in a plaza so you're fine there. The cons... As mentioned, the machines could be fixed/upgraded, a few more deals in regards to personal trainers/class. All in all, this place is fine and the main intention is the get fit so they'll give you all the ingredients to do so. read more

Used to be nice and low key, utilitarian vibe, but the meat-head population seems to be growing here as is reflected in the changing of the shared TV's from CNN to Faux News. The atmosphere has seriously suffered. Other members and I have reached out to management to no avail. Only thing keeping us as members is a kick ass Zumba instructor, but fingers crossed she'll move to a better studio. read more

Decent gym layout. There's room to do functional stuff, Olympic lift, and so on. Great group fitness. It's usually warm there, which I like personally. Free weights section is kind of cramped. Their barbells are terrible - they don't spin well so be careful if you are oly lifting. read more

Still new to this gym with only a few months into my membership, my experience has been good. The main equipment area is always crowded but they have so many types of equipment that I never see anyone just waiting around. The kid zone is a life savor so you don't have to miss going to the gym because of babysitting issues. I really enjoy the variety of exercise classes they offer, especially bodycombat, which is my favorite. I do wish they had yoga class in this gym but they do offer it in Lagrangeville location. read more

fishkill golds gym is definitely smaller than the newburgh golds but there is one important difference that keeps me going back; the culture. from the get you you feel that the members are there to train and no socialize which any serious athlete can appreciate. its has good equipment and its not jammed in together like in newburgh, the stuff is in pretty good shape and the dumbells arent in shambles. read more

Its convenient because its open 24 hrs. Mon.-Fri. but its a small gym.I like the early am hours so I can beat the crowds at the evening time b/c it gets packed at night so much so that you can hardly get a workout in and forget about getting a parking space outside b/c this gym is in a plaza there so many other businesses open. The workout equipment needs updating and the layout for the functional fitness area seems to keep getting smaller. Its nice that they have Rogue plates but the Rogue bars are horrible. They offer a "CrossFit" style class there for extra fees but its scary to watch them attempt to do Olympic lifts without proper instruction. read more

A very clean and well-stocked gym. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. My only complaint would be thr priced. it's twice as much money as Planet Fitness. Great parking. The classes that they offer are extremely good read more

I am a mother of 2 very active children & Golds Gym Fishkill helps me have the "me time" that is necessary. The kids club is reliable while I enjoy the group exercise classes, boot camp, or a private training session. If there is a good movie playing in the theater, i love to hide in there where its cool & i am free to run on the treadmill as ling as i like! read more

Great gym. Knowledgeable, friendly trainers and staff. Good selection of weight training machines, equipment, classes. Clean women's sauna, steam, locker rooms. Haven't been in men's but hear these are just as well maintained. Even at busy times, there seems to be enough space for everyone. Friendly vibe among members too, whether you're new to the gym, a regular, or serious about body building. Went to another local gym for ten years and liked it - but this one is something else. Just feels like home. And the protein shakes at the bar are really good..... read more

M.J 3/21/2012 This gym is very nice. Maybe it doesn't have a swimming pool. but it's still a nice gym. It has a movie room to go into. A ladies gym. I appreciate it so much. I thank God for it being in the right spot. Pushed away from everything else. Perfect. I Iove it!! I've been going to the gym for a good while now, and this is definitely on the top of my favorite list. I'm glad it doesn't have a pool. It makes it less crowded in the summer. Yay for that!!! Real nice place. Nice people too. read more

the gym is ok, but the ppl that work there are not; canceling asap.

A few times now they have charged me a late fee claiming there was an issue with my credit card! Meanwhile there is plenty in the account ! Strongly considering cancelling my membership as it takes several phone calls to them & then takes them weeks to figure it out!! They seriously need to get their act together! Very frustrating! read more

I sign up my son for the gym then went in to cancel his membership after a few months, the manager told me i can suspend it instead, and if i dont return to reactivate it, the membership will be automatically cancel. So far from the truth.! My son uses another gym, we did not reactivate membership, yet they charging my son $29 every month and refuse to close the account until we pay for a membership that was suspended or cancel. They are ruinig my son credit and i was the one who open the account for him! Unscrupulous people/manager.! read more

Most golds gyms are franchises.. And out of the 10+ golds gyms I've been to this is far the worse. The staff seems friendly but this isn't planet fitness, people don't come to these gyms for friendly staff.. Most of the machines and equipment are outdated , worn and torn. Very dirty, garbage laying around and in the boxing room u can run your finger over the top of the bag and you're entire finger will be black.. Was wondering how my white shirt was getting black smudges all over it.. The ceiling is rusting.. And the worst part, super crowded!!! Can't even jump rope anywhere without feeling like I'm gonna take somebody out.. There is a small free area but the trainers are always using that area.. Impossible to do any exercises where u need a 5x5 or bigger space. 2 stars because of the staff, otherwise I'd only give it one. read more

Gold's Gym Fishkill is hands down the best gym in the Hudson Valley! The staff is Fantastic!

Look forward to be able to get my workout in and not be bothered by others... everyone is willing to assist when asked a question.
