Also, this Salinas Gold's Gym is super warm inside, like working out in a hot yoga environment. They need Air Conditioning badly. Even on overcast summer mornings, the gym is 10-15 degrees warmer than it is outside. Also, the assortment of Olympic weights at each free weight station is severely lacking. Forever hunting down free Olympic weights. Premium price for substandard; environment and free weights.

I am always greeted when I walk in. Check in is quick. The reason I don't give it five stars is that the equipment in the cardio area has often been broken when I've been there. With the number of members that they have, the gym should keep the equipment in good repair. A year ago, I signed up with a personal trainer to get out of my sedentary pudginess. Although he was friendly, I wasn't making much progress. I do have some mobility issues to overcome, and he never pushed me. After he quit the gym, I got a new trainer, Brianna, a cute, tiny, young thing less than half my age. But I have to say, she's great! She listens to my goals, and despite my limitations, she pushes me to make progress. As a woman, I appreciate having a female trainer who takes me seriously regardless of my appearance. She has always been very professional, yet she has a friendly manner. I like her style! I've noticed that she's the only female trainer there. In the world of macho and muscle in the gym, I feel much more at ease with her as my trainer. If you, like me, are seeking to get into shape, and are a bit shy about being so out of shape, see if you can sign up with Brianna. Get in shape at In Shape!

The ladies bathrooms smell badly, not sure if it's the sewage that smells. The rug in the locker room is very dirty. It could use being replaced or shampooed. Today the whole place smelled of bathrooms. They could install fans on the walls to help the airflow in the lockers. Compared to Monterey fitness center, I never see an attendant in the locker rooms or around the gym cleaning around the equipment. Maybe the management should checkout the Monterey fitness center, just to get an idea on how to run a good gym. MGC charges $45/month. Montage charges $86/ month. Monterey fitness center a much larger and nicer with far more equipment. It's always spotless.

The rehab staff at both sites are exemplary, the pools, not so much. The pool in Salinas has been out of commission for close to a year (as of 4/26), so those of us that rely on aqua therapy have been left behind. When dealing with staff there was very little assistance offered, but quite a bit of attitude. Since it's covered by our insurance, unlike other gyms in town, we'll probably just wait until it's repaired, since no one offered us the possibility of just going to Marina.

I wanted to share some honest feedback about my experience at Montage Wellness Salinas because the…read morelevel of customer service has been really disappointing lately. For a facility that likely brings in thousands of dollars in memberships, the professionalism at the front desk, especially during evenings and weekends, is lacking. Multiple times I've walked in to see multiple employees working at once, yet none of them greet members as they come in. Instead, they're sitting at the front desk eating full meals, on their phones, looking miserable or using personal laptops. A front desk at a gym should feel welcoming and attentive, not like employees are hanging out socially. Customer service etiquette seems to be missing during these shifts. When members walk in, there should at least be a simple acknowledgment like "hello" or "have a good workout." Unfortunately, that basic level of service isn't consistently happening. I do want to acknowledge that Randy, Diana, and the woman who usually works mornings are excellent. They are friendly, professional, and actually make members feel welcome when they arrive. Their attitude reflects the type of service you would expect from a wellness facility. However, the evening and weekend staff, particularly the guys and the other woman who work those shifts, seem to need additional training. Working at a gym doesn't just consist of sitting behind the front desk. It involves engaging with members, maintaining a professional environment, and making sure the facility is running smoothly. Another frustrating issue is the water fountains. Both fountains are currently not functioning properly and only work using the push option. There is a sign telling members to use the fountain near the restroom instead, but that one doesn't work either. For a wellness facility, something as basic as functioning water fountains should be a priority. Overall, it's frustrating to see such a nice facility fall short in areas that should be simple to fix: professionalism, basic customer service, and facility maintenance. I've noticed a clear difference in the level of service compared to the location in Marina, which feels much more professional and welcoming. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and considers providing additional training and oversight.
