Great for a Gold's gym! Lots of equipment and super friendly staff. Vivvianna at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming. It's really clean too. I decided to join based on these top 3 things: 1) Friendly staff 2) Childcare 3) cleanliness Way better than LA Fitness! read more

My husband and I went to this gym a few weeks ago and I had an experience I can't forget about. These two guys we're screaming at the top of their lungs at the workers. It was past closing and I was in the locker room and I felt so bad for those employees that were being yelled at. I was uncomfortable to leave the locker room and my husband offered to walk the woman employee to her car. She looked scared but handled it very professionally. She even offered to walk us to our car but we left reallll fast. We offered to call the police but she said the manager will handle it. Both of the employees handled it better than I would've!! Please keep your workers and other customers safe! read more

Gym doesn't make anyone wipe down or wear masks, the front desk people just watch them walk in with their masks down or none with them at all, bathrooms are disgusting and the equipment is filthy I don't think anyone cleans the gym, canceled after a week and got a refund for this crap read more

If you like dumbbells thrown everywhere, old outdated equipment then this is the place for you. No one cleans up and there are constantly weights everywhere, a mess of a gym. read more

I give 4 stars instead of 5 because a lot of the equipment is dated. The people are nice, the shakes are delicious and the kids area is always clean and my kids have so much fun in there they never want to leave! read more

Be very aware of Golds Gym before you sign up for any membership with them. I was a member and had to discontinue due to my work location. I have cancelled my membership and return the Gym cards at the Gym. I was told there will be no charges or fees but they still took the money out of my account twice. I have called the Gym for a refund but no success. I had to call my bank to change my card so they don't take any more money from my account but now I get a collection notice after five months to pay $597.50. I am planning to take them to the court and so should you. read more

Left NY in 2018 came back end of 2022 the place looks the same you'd think that they add new machines or update the look if you like broken or old equipment this the place for you. Might return later if they update the gym read more

It's a gym... get sweaty, drink water & mind your business. Once you figured out the best time to come then it's great. I'm not telling you when it's empty, that's my secret, and I enjoy this gym when there's less people. It's got everything I need. The free training session gig is to basically get you to sign up for what I believe to be an expensive course but kudos to those who do it. Stay motivated! Lost a star cuz I can do without politics being ok every tv here. Otherwise it works for what I come to accomplish read more

Many customers have their masks half off while talking. Worse yet, a person behind the health bar usually has his mask below his nose but today had it all off while washing a blender. Management should be on top of this and a sign mandating masks on at all times except the pool should be posted. read more

Gigantic incredible Golds Gym in the heart of Plenty of parking and amazing facility that will accommodate everyone! Whether ure looking to just do cardio, light weights or heavy weights,take a class ?their staff is ready to accomodate & please! During this difficult time they're finally opening back up Monday the 24th and have spent money to make sure you are 100% safe to get your workout in and leave healthy! Heather and Wil are incredible managers along with Viviana at the front desk & one of the trainers,They are all an asset to the company! I highly recommend Golds Gym iof Islip! read more

Decided to change gyms and heard horror stories about the billing here, luckily avoided any problems in that area but the reason I changed gyms was because this place was always dirty, and machines/ equipment were always broken and never addressed. Constantly watching people blow past the scanner early in the morning also got on my nerves as well. People sneak into this gym and don't respect the equipment, and the staff apparently also doesn't care or has no facilities for upkeep/ repair. I remember often seeing roaches running around in the floorboards of the sauna in the men's locker room, and the steam room used to be a disgusting place as well. Always smelled of dirt and body odor so one would imagine it was not cleaned often either. Overall I would avoid this place in its current state. It used to be great but has since fallen read more

Thank you!! Jaimie and Heather for chancing Axel out of Gold's after 15 years it's all your fault your attitude Jaimie sucks!!!! From day one that you became manager two years ago I saw trouble right away you suck as a manager!! Blaming the members of ripping pop-up poster off the wall and thrashing the members by saying that you were going to terminate our membership very unprofessional I can't believe that you said that you caught the person on camera so your telling us that you have cameras in the locker room?? Isn't that invading our privacy??? This concerns me I truly believe you lied!! And had something against Axel!! read more

I was a member until my car accident last December. I initially froze my account but then canceled. I was still charged annual fee. I have tried on several occasions to get refund...got nor even a reply to several emails. On top of that I started getting charged again for the membership. Which I had to go in and cancel a second time. The management does not return any emails. Be careful of you sign up...you will have difficulty with billing read more

Gold's Gyms used to be the best. Gold's Gyms are filthy disgusting with broken out dated equipment. Plus they want to charge you top dollar for this what a shame. Hey Gold's how about a total renovation? Not enough staff this gym has gone down the tubes. read more

The staff is the Best. It is so nice to be warmly greeted when you walk in the door! It is like having a second family,

Customer service is terrible, Heather the manager is rude. They don't use the air conditioning, leave the front doors wide open and you can't breathe doing cardio. It's a health risk, very concerning especially after Covid. You should be able to breathe when doing cardio, very disappointing! read more

Love this place!! Been a member for 3 years now but for the past 6 months ive been going almost everyday to Apex. And it became my second home loovvvveeeee all the trainers .Gym is clean . The staff is reallly nice at the front desk . One of the girl working at the front desk Viviana i think is so nice and always willing to help. Most of the time im on the apex side . But im always happy when i use the actual gym. The only thing that I think they should do something about is the equipment situation .. theres always something broken ! Always ! read more

Trashy, unprofessional employees. if you dare to complain to management they have it in for you every time they see you. There are nicer, more professional gyms. read more

Big gym, clean, pretty much all the equipment someone could ask for. Never really a wait for any machines or cardio equipment. Clean locker room and good smoothies. Responsibly Priced. Only downfall was the front staff/sales people. If you need help with your account or have a question they act like your bothering them. read more

I have been coming here since last year.. Friendly front desk, great smoothies, nice entrance..The locker rooms are clean and neat, there are hair dryers, Qtips, and combs for your convenience..there is also a sauna and steam room...The equipment is new and the aerobic classes are fun..I also go to the aquafit class in the saltwater pool.. Here is my complaint, the pool doesn't seem clean.. There is rust all around the edges of the pool which is gross.. This is my only complaint... read more

Was here for about 6 months. Had to recently cancel because it was a little too pricy and it was about 20 minutes from my house. A new gym opened up a mile from my house for less than half the price so I had to switch. However, I had a good 6 months here. The machines are clean and so is the gym. Broken machines are fixed very quickly. There is such an abundance of equipment that even on the busiest of hours, you can still get done what you need to get done without waiting for a machine (usually). Great smoothie bar, wide selection of cooler drinks and protein bars. However, the staff needs to enforce the reracking of weights more. Almost every bench press, leg press and squat rack would have a bar loaded with plates, but no ones using it! Very annoying. If you're strong enough to lift it you're strong enough to rack it!! However, like I said, for the most part I did enjoy myself and it's a nice gym. Just too pricy and too far from me. But if you're in the area and have the money, I'd recommend it. read more

I really love Gold's Gym, there's tons of machines and you never have to worry about someone hogging a machine. I have been a member for about 2 years now. They do offer a lot that most gyms don't. The atmosphere is pretty laid back, people are friendly and non judgmental. But unfortunately I must change gyms. Due to the fact that I want to find something that is closer to home and that if I don't want to drive I can walk to. read more

UPDATE: Raising my review from 1 to 2 stars as I was able to speak to an associate there who assured me in various ways that this issue would be taken care and resolved. As soon as the refund hits my account, I'll make sure to change the review to reflect that. Thank you very much to Justin. If your corporate office see this, I hope you're commended on your performance. Cancelled my membership back in September and they said they would charge me for September and October, and that would be the end of that. Well it's November and I just got hit again, for a membership I thoroughly cancelled back in September. Spoke to someone at the front desk and apparently their manager is no where to be found and has no schedule as to when I can reach her(how convenient) but rest assured, they'll leave a note in my account for her to eventually deal with the situation?! Wrote her an email, so hopefully they'll get back to me soon, but this gross negligence warrants a lot of negative reviews, and I would suggest to anyone to STAY AWAY FROM THIS GYM. Not worth the price for this hassle. Unbelievable. read more

I'm a newbie here, took a few classes, used the locker room etc, nice and clean. Classroom space was very nice. Best gym experience close to home. read more

I was about to give up on the gym, but they revamped it with new machines and I found a great personal trainer there so now I want to keep coming back. read more

If you're looking for a gym thats ran by unprofessionals and filled with unnecessary drama, look no further! This place is the holy mecca of people who peaked in high school. I kept quiet for the 5 years I was a member and did not publicly post my opinions ANYWHERE. When I ended my membership I even allowed them to write on paper that the reason was because "I didn't have time." But this is my breaking point. This gym is filled with CROOKS, LIARS, and UNPROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT (heather and Serena I'm pointing the finger directly at you...). Don't waste your time here. You can find a gym at a much better price with more equipment and zero drama. read more

I was one of the first members of Gold's gym when they first opened. I have seen so many changes in the 10 years I was there. When was the best time? When Johnny Moya and Doug Wentz were running the gym. It was always clean, johnny was obsessed with keeping that place clean and knew how to manage staff effectively. Doug is the best trainer there is, he is patient, creative (always comes up with new routines), and realllllly knowledgable of nutritional advice. He also stretches his clients after a work out which is something you never see other trainers doing. It's such as shame, when those 2 left the whole gym went downhill. Most of the regulars left, you didn't even recognize anyone anymore... very sad.... read more

This place is well maintained. The best part is their kids club. I can happily leave my daughter for an hour with these guys and they take best care. My daughter enjoys too. I personally like doing zumba. read more

I've been a member for about a month and a half now, and so far, I am very pleased. The hours are convenient and all areas of the gym/equipment are kept very clean. The people working the front desk have been friendly and helpful. I love the trainer I worked with, Ryanne. She is super sweet, very motivating, and quite knowledgeable:) read more

I've been coming here since I was 16 and I am turning 23 this year. Sauna is always broken though other than that it's Best gym ever !!!!

This gym is a dumpster fire. Since the old manager left, and they hired this new Head PT joke, the gym has taken a nose dive. I didn't think one person could ruin a gym but he has managed to do so. Incompetent, cocky with an ego 3 times his size, he has a real Napoleon complex. He has hired some of the worst training staff imaginable and single handily ruined a great gym. When he leaves my family and friends will consider going back. You would think the golds gym logo and training banner would be enough since it's one of the oldest brands in the industry. Instead they've abandoned their roots and went with method training. Yea, that method doesn't work. Save your money and join literally any other gym. read more

Golds gym has the best staff and trainers. Jeanine, Christie, Debbie , Melania, Tara, Billy, leighanne Matais and Anthony hands down couldn't have done it with ought all there awesome techniques and support. Best sculpt and spin EVER!!!! Wouldn't choose another gym even if it was free. Golds of Islip changed my life. Inspired me to change my lifestyle to fit, healthy and feeling stronger then ever. Thank you Golds I went from 165 pounds of fat to 120 of muscle and strength Love my peeps at Golds in Islip. read more

I began as a member grew to front desk and moved on to sales for years under Heather. I owe a lot to the passion and enthusiasm every employee brings to this place. Every time I walk in I wish every business was as customer oriented and attentive. I love this place and always will. read more

This gym has every piece of equipment you will ever need. Never to pack, clean facility and restrooms. Front desk personnel always welcome you to gym!!! Loved it!!!! read more

Trainers are awesome, the staff is pretty helpful and the facility is very clean. However, i still don't understand why Monday night zumba (5:30) is still doing the same routine a past instructor was doing two years ago - I have emailed my frustration a while back via e-mail; however, that e-mail went ignored. read more

This place is one big scam. Whether it be them charging ridiculous fees or late charges, they are always trying to rip you off. If you don't keep track of your bank statements this place will bleed you dry. Additionally, the staff is so horribly uninformed, and I believe this is because they top management is trying to take as much money from the consumers as possible. If the staff can't help the patrons..the patrons cant get their money back. If you are joining for the pool, DON'T BOTHER. The pool is never open. It is either under 'repairs' or just closed for no reason at all. The upper management would rather keep the pool closed to save money than service their guests. A majority of the free weights need repairs but I doubt that will happen.. It's been this way for 3 years. read more

The best classes are offered at Gold's Gym, especially the spin classes and the instructors are great! I switched from another well known gym for this reason and I'm so happy I did! read more

Lot of cookie cutters walking around who're probably competing in men's physique at the Ruby. Broken machines, broken showers, the place is a dump. Big Lenny would not approve. read more

This gym at first might have a good impression and people act nice, but it's all fake. This gym is not only very racist against other people but this gym has a low self esteem type of people. Filled with people that don't know how to mind their own business. And most important if you do different things that they can't do they will put you down and they will talk shit about you. Everyone here is either very lonely or their self esteem is so low that, all they can do is to talk shit about other people. I don't think I'd give this gym even a one star maybe just half a star. There are few people that are good and that you can get along with but all in all people are racist, lame, has low self esteem, and there is a lot, I mean A LOT OF DRAMA at this gym, worse than little kids being a brat! So if your looking a good gym with a good environment without drama don't come here, settle for a better gym. The people in this gym are worse than a little girl that wants her toy but doesn't get it! I totally encourage other people, because the gym should be a place where there is no drama and everyone is here for one purpose; which is to workout and stay healthy together but this gym's motto should be. "If your not big than your not worthy and your a piece of shit then!" I'll give this place a 1/3 star rating! And being a physical therapist and personal trainer this is not the environment you should be at!! read more
