I'm disappointed in how the St. Jude's fundraiser is being run by this company. The fundraising shirts are affordable, but the shipping of the items adds more than 50% to the price tag. I want to fund cancer charities - not FedEx. If gold's sincerely wants to raise money for St. Jude, they should stock the items in store with the rest of their retail merch, where they're not burdened by the hidden shipping fee.

Could use more squat/power racks (only 3), replace 1 or both of the smith machines IMO.
Fairly well maintained gym, it seemed clean to me, lockers have built-in locks so that's nice.
Staff were friendly but overly assertive about being a local resident for a guest day pass when I was there with a friend, they would only accept a state-issued LOCAL ID...

Golds is cutting down on expenses more ways than one.
1. Moving to phone scan in rather than a membership tag
2. Cut back on the disinfectant wipes quality so they’re less likely to actually clean something
3. I was there today and the entire gym from bench press area to turf area reeked like 7 day old BO.
I've been in a gym environment for 20+ years and am not shy to the average sweat stank, but this was insane how bad it was. Hopefully it gets better, likely won’t.

[3.5/5] Pretty standard gym shenanigans that are pervasive across the industry, so unavoidable but unfortunate nonetheless. E.g., in the year of the Lord two thousand and twenty-four, EFT/automatic bill payment cancellations here still require one month’s notice. There’s no reason—aside from the gym and their billing services provider (ABC Fitness Solutions, LLC) blatantly wringing an extra monthly payment out of their patrons—that a cancellation can’t be immediate and with the final payment prorated to the millisecond…surely we have the technology…
Naturally when you sign up for a month-to-month personal training or club membership this isn’t honestly advertised (if mentioned at all)
Separately, for some reason, a ton of people (sometimes seemingly most) here don’t wipe down their machines after using them. Spend half an hour up on the stairmaster looking down onto the cardio and cable weights area and you’ll see what I mean. So if you are an anti-wipe enthusiast prospective club member, you may find your community here. Cleaning staff does come around every once in a long while to wipe some machines down at least
Can’t complain about the machines or weights, and the location is the best in the area
It beats paying an honestly insulting eight (8) times as much at the L*fetime Fitness 500 feet down the road which doesn’t even get you a lap pool or basketball court

I’ve recently seen many people without proper hygiene walking around: they smell.
I also saw a homeless man in the men’s locker. I hope the management addresses these issues. Otherwise this is a good gym
Edit: air condition is down most of the time. It’s hot and humid here

Decent gym. Clean.
Equipment a bit old; Joe Gold may have used some of the machines here...
Warm/hot on free weight side of facility; should install ceiling fans.
Water fountains warm, too ;(
The space has potential...could up its game a bit...

On the smaller side, but it has everything you need for a good pump.

The gym and price is fine. There is a homeless man who continues to find access into the locker-room at this gym during weeknights. The man can be smelled from 15 feet away. Staff does nothing — I have seen an employee walk in, look at the man, laugh, and walk away. Gross!

I called, sent paperwork, etc. They promised to cancel my membership several times but kept billing me for several months. This business is a scam.

Terrible management and comically aloof staff. They cannot answer questions or help you in the slightest. You would get more out of talking to a wall. Billing is out of control and no one knows anything about fixing it. I cannot tell if it is a scam or if they are just incompetent. Either way, stay far away from this gym and its affiliated facilities.

Really bad experience. Walked in with my friend to use our free pass and they rejected my friend bc she s not a “local resident” even though we told him that we do live here

The management sucks. They have no empathy and just want your money. Edit** just read the review below me and it’s accurate. I just got laid off in November haven’t been back to the gym since October and had to pay until JANUARY for a service I was not even using. It is a painful process to cancel and they show no mercy.

This place isn't open on time and you'll end up waiting outside wasting your time. .

Fantastic gym! I’ve been to other gyms in the DMV but this one is the best. Although the membership is a bit pricy, you can expect VERY clean facilities and high quality, up to date equipment. I especially love the beautiful view of Clarendon in the cardio section!
