Been a member there since it was called The Rush, probably going on 10 - 15 years now. The facility is nice, but very poorly maintained. You will find messy unclean weight machines, broken, rusty equipment and also the bathrooms / locker rooms are usually filthy.
The management / staff will not be there to help you if you have problems, either. I have had issues with other members throwing weights and slamming them so badly that you can hear them all the way from the front desk. When you ask the staff to do something, you will get absolutely no help. According to them, as long as you are using rubber coated weights, you are allowed to slam the weights all you want. Please note that ALL of the weights are rubber coated. One member was dropping 185 pounds from a full standing position with arms raised, where the weight actually bounces in a very unsafe manner, and he was doing this within 2 or 3 feet of other members and using chalk (which are both not allowed in the gym). The other member feared for her safety and was visibly upset and told the staff, so the staff came out and had some kind of talk with the offensive member, but he did NOT stop doing it. The staff said that they allow that training, evidently in spite of safety concerns. So the slamming continues even though for years this facility has not allowed it. It seems like Golds only wants your money, and as soon as they get it, they do not care about anyone.
The staff allows members to walk around the facility with bare feet. They allow unsafe behavior and will not enforce the simplest of gym rules, and will not be there for anything after about 6:00 in the evening. The entire management staff LEAVES the facility and no one is there except the front desk person. So there is literally a "free-for-all" type of environment, where you are there at your own risk and no staff is there to make sure you are safe and welcome to train.
Honestly, I have been in gyms in many states and even overseas, and this gym is the worst. I am still in shock they are allowed to call it "Gold's" as that usually implies a fantastic gym experience.
Also... the pictures that are on here (Yelp) and Gold's own website stating that they are pictures of the gym are a blatant lie. read more
