Amazing new gym in Tigard. I recently moved to Oregon and had been working out at 24 Fitness. it seems all of them in the area are absolutely disgusting. I finally had enough, and went on a search for a new facility. I had worked out at Golds years ago and liked them, so I googled and found this place. Wow, what a great facility! They have every machine you could want, and more. The place is spotless, smells good and isn't overly crowded. It's also a new concept Gold's Gym. So it seems very modern and up to date. The staff are really friendly and helpful. And the members seems to respect the quality and cleanliness of the gym. Parking is also easy and plentiful. And its in a nice new business park. Ive spent most of my adult life in gyms, and id say this is probably the best gym Ive ever worked out at. read more

I debated whether to write this because it happened a few months ago, but the way this situation was handled genuinely affected me and I feel it's important to share I regularly used the co-ed sauna at this location. When I originally joined, I specifically asked about the sauna because it's located near the men's locker room/bathrooms, and I was told it was co-ed. The only posted rule regarding clothing says to "wear proper sauna attire," with no further explanation. There are also no towels provided by the gym. One day I was using the sauna with a friend while wearing the swimsuit pictured below. We were both sitting on towels and minding our own business. Afterward, we walked the short distance back toward the women's locker room, showered and changed. As we were leaving, the manager Luke asked if he could speak with me privately. He then told me they had received "numerous complaints about what you were wearing in the sauna." I was completely caught off guard. I had worn a bathing suit in the sauna many times before without an issue, so I asked what I was supposed to wear when the posted rule simply says "proper sauna attire." Luke said he had no problem with bathing suits, but then gestured up and down at me and said the swimsuit I was wearing was a little "uhhh..." before trailing off. I found this extremely uncomfortable and felt like I was being sexualized and shamed for my body and what I was wearing, rather than being given a clear dress-code rule to follow. He suggested I wrap myself in a towel, so I asked if the gym provided towels. They do not. During what Luke had asked to be a "private" conversation, another employee, Caitlin, interrupted and said, "Well, we can cancel your membership if you'd like." I was extremely uncomfortable with this response, especially when I was simply trying to understand what the actual rule was. When I returned the following week to calmly ask Luke for clarification, I also told him that if he was going to ask to speak with me "privately," I expected the conversation to actually be private--not at the front desk where other employees could overhear and interrupt. I then asked Luke who had actually complained about me. This time, he clarified that "no one complained per se." Instead, one person had apparently approached him and said, "Did you see that girl in a bikini?" Luke said he wanted to "get ahead of it before it became a problem." This was incredibly upsetting after initially being told there had been "numerous complaints." I had been made to feel like multiple people were upset about me or my body when, according to his later explanation, that wasn't actually what happened. I don't have a problem with a gym having a specific sauna dress code. If the expectation is that people wear something other than a swimsuit, that should be clearly stated and consistently enforced. What I had a problem with was being singled out, having my swimsuit/body addressed in such a vague and uncomfortable way, and being made to feel ashamed when I was following what I understood to be the posted rules. I ultimately stopped going for a period of time because the experience made me feel extremely uncomfortable in a place that had previously been a positive and safe space for me. I later spoke with people at Gold's Gym corporate about what happened, and they were extremely apologetic and told me they agreed that the situation had been handled inappropriately. I genuinely appreciated that response. I'm sharing this because I don't think anyone should be made to feel ashamed or responsible for other people's reactions to their body when they are simply using a shared facility and following the rules as they are posted. If there is a dress code, clearly communicate it rather than sexualizing someone's clothing and making them feel like they are the problem. I enjoyed it here (minus the loud music) and am disappointed that I don't feel comfortable enough to have a membership here at this time. Maybe things will change in the future! They need better management I guess. read more

Gold's Gym - Bathing suit - Gyms Near Me - Tigard, Oregon

The good: The gym staff here is absolutely wonderful; they greet everyone by name and are always ready to help if the need arises. There's a nice selection of machines and a sauna that is open to all membership levels, with the higher tiers of membership also having access to red light therapy as well as tanning. The bad: The owner cuts corners to save money, a lot. This location has no classes and the membership is still as expensive as other Gold's locations that do offer classes. The women's lockers have a mix of old and new locks since they only replace them when fully broken, with all of the older locks being very finicky and often locking you out even when you use the code you set it with. This is especially frustrating since there is only 5 of the new locks to go around and you can only have the locker unlocked by staff if a manager is working. There's also an issue with upkeep on the machines with some showing their age/use via holes worn in the bench and others just not being cleaned properly. In particular cleanliness wise, I have found gum in cupholders that stayed there for two weeks before being cleaned and there is thick dust on both the white treadmill rails and inside of the fan vents on the same treadmills. This cleaning issue extends to the sauna where under the benches is rarely cleaned and around the vents are visibility dirty. If you are sensitive to dust or have a dust allergy, it is important to note they also do not regularly clean the pipes and vents on the ceiling, I have been going over a year and never seen it cleaned, so there is quite a bit of dust built up in the facility. I think a lot of the issues with cleanliness could be easily solved with more frequent deep cleanings and more cleaning staff in general. Right now they only have two {extremely kind and hard working} cleaners to my knowledge and it's just too much to expect them to be able to handle all of the machines, amenities, and deep cleaning tasks on their own. This all comes back to the owners looking to save vs investing in the gym. Unfortunately, it's a choice that shows with all of the above mentioned as well as in week long waits when the sauna breaks and lights that will blink and take weeks to fix. I continue to go because the staff is great and the sauna is enough to keep my patronage, but they could really benefit from a renovation that focuses on replacing and upgrading the equipment and amenities. I've seen a good chunk of people who I met here leave for Murray's because every one of them has said how much worse the gym is from when they signed up, and a year in I do have to agree that the basic care and maintenance isn't keeping up with what this location needs. read more

I never write reviews - literally never but i feel its necessary with this gym MUSIC WAYYY TOO LOUD - can't hear your own music. They won't turn it down. I've never had this problem before but the music is so loud i can't hear my own stuff hardly with headphones on. So i have to compromise my hearing Tons of hidden fees. They rip you off on cancellation and don't warn you about it. The sales rep literally told me none of the things that would happen during cancellation despite me asking. And its earned them a 1 star review That and the fact that I was told to put my shoes on during a squat lift for "safety". Meanwhile people on the legpress didn't have shoes on and had 800+ pounds on it What else earned golds a 1 star review? Well the cleaning team that we are undoubtedly paying for is forced to slave away multiple hours EVERY DAY - deep cleaning the equipment, vacuuming the floors ( daily ). I can understand cleaning the lockers but not doing a deep clean of the entire gym. And i'm sure we are paying for that. These cleaners look so tired and over worked This gym lacks a t bar row machine, cable attachments, it only has 3 cable machines ( or two depending on how you look at it ). The machines are old and worn out. Some of them are way too easy or assist you way too much. Good luck doing back day here without free weights. The machines for back day are awful. No landmines. Or special barbells. only one cambarid bar for bicep curls. Constantly in use. Very crowded gym. There is a plumbing issue ( a sink constantly leaking ) which is an easy fix but they've put it off for 8+ months. The showers are constantly out of order needing maintenance. The lockers are broken into constantly so good luck there. The locker doors are constantly broken. Soaps and bathrooms are fine. Sauna is fine. Dumbbells are OK and weights are OK. Some leg machines are good. I really appreciated their calf press, sissy squat machine, and nordic curl machine. But the gym is lacking good arm machines, chest machines, shoulder machines, back, bicep, forearm. Etc., When cancelling, I was forced to pay for AN EXTRA month that i will not use. Even though I cancelled within the window for my current month Cardio equipment is OK 8/10 my biggest issue with this gym is the cost - its $60 / month and i feel like the only benefit to me was its close to my place and you get to work out with experienced lifters but it felt like a bunch of experienced lifters that were putting up with bad equipment. But other than that its way over priced for all these issues - i found a better gym on the east side of portland which had nicer locker rooms, bigger locker rooms, a pool, racketball, basketball, cycling rooms, more cardio equipment with a view, more cable machines, more attachments for the cables and more variety, bigger locker rooms and more bathrooms, a towel service, two floors, two yoga rooms and a posing room, and a ton of machines... in fact, it had a tbar row which golds didn't have, better rowing machines and better chest and back equipment. and this gym cost me less than $60 / month with no contract, no cancellation fee, no enhancement fee. no hidden fees, the music isn't too loud. huge upgrade. i'm a former professional bodybuilder and i would never go to golds gym again read more

Hidden fees for cancelling a policy which is very frustrating. Was not told any of this when i signed up. Would not recommend and one of there staff members is hella strict on having your shoes on even if I was just stretching. Watch out for Justin lol. read more

Toured this gym, and automatically knew it was not for me. I am an avid lifter and personal trainer. The lack of cable machines and accessories were not optimal, the gym set up does not make sense. Feel like 24 Hour and LA Fitness have better equipment and wider variety. read more

Where do we start?.. Blinking lights inside the building constantly.. They take months to get them fixed, then more start blinking....never ending When a machine is broken they take a while to have it repaired.. Locker rooms are incredibly small.. very cramped at busy times ..not a comfortable environment.. showers run out of hot water often.. Men's few bathrooms are always dirty, blown up and or occupied... better take that b4 headed to the gym guys! The music is incredibly loud making you feel at times like you're in a night club.. very hard to have a conversation with friends if you wanted to.. when I asked the front desk they said they couldnt do anything about it.. The overall size of the gym is very small.. peak times are difficult.. As a morning person the worker who opens the gym sometimes arrived late.. Pretty inconvenient for customers with a schedule.. Oh yeah... Some not fit dancing douche bodydismorfia idiot throwing weights around and telling others about gym Etiquette and racking Weights being an A$$ was the last straw for me and why I left.. Told staff about this individual several times and my concerns were ingonored... Very very disappointed in the management and staff Few positive things... Nice equipment Good parking Gym is clean and orderly mostly LA fitness in tualatin just remodeled and is way better than this place.. Also for bodybuilding culture omalye's is opening in beaverton.. Before you go to lame golds tigard check out these other places 1st! much better! read more

Tried the gym out with a trial pass. Machines and cardio selection were solid. Staff seemed nice. Place was extremely clean. My only gripe was that the back machines sucked, theres tons of leg and chest equipment though. Every piece is made by Gym80 which is an alright brand imo. You probably won't find a better gym nearby if you're looking for good equipment. read more

Gold's Gym Tigard is a fantastic workout spot. The staff work with you, whether you have a billing dispute or any other issue, and they're very patient. read more

I travel frequently for work and visit gyms in every town along the way - not a local to this area. This is one of the most impressive fitness facilities I've ever seen. They have every piece of equipment imaginable, including pieces I've never seen before. Immaculately clean, not too crowded during peak hours - if you're a local and join another gym, you're wrong. read more

Your machines are begging for attention. They are in dire need of maintenance and cleaning.

Used the Free Pass promotion on the actual locations website, only to be turned away and told another promotion supersedes it and if I want to workout it's $20. Told the desk, hey not my fault it's up, told it won't be honored and the fee still stands. Thanks but no thanks. read more

This gym is by far the best gym in the Portland metro area. Why might you ask. It's new it's clean the members are diverse the music is perfect to work out to. There is plenty of parking always as the gym is not over crowded or over sold.....like 24 hour fitness. You can work out in peace just pick an area in the gym and surround yourself with like minded people who are there for a serious workout. It's not a spa gym it's a strength training gym. read more

You already charge 40 per month for a basic gym. Now guest passes cost 20. So you can't even bring friends to try and get to join. This gym is desperate which is sad with it being a golds. They have also had equipment and torn for a couple months. read more
