On their website, it is mentioned that I can get a 7-day VIP pass. When I went there with a print out, the guy behind the counter (a pathetically rude ass) told me that they dont offer 7 days any more. Its only for 3 days. So I said OK. They asked me for an ID. I am a student in Canada so I told him that. He said "Sorry, this pass is for residents only". Seriously? What if I am visiting for 3 months and want to join? Are you telling me that I cannot get gym membership if I am not residing in the US? How does that even make sense? I cannot believe the guy behind the counter treated me as if I was some weirdo who wanted a free pass! I simply wanted to try out the gym! Rude staff. Unclear rules on their stupid website. Never going there again. EVER.

It is a big club with many equipment and some better cardio machines that I havent found in other clubs. Crowd: During weekdays, engineers from nearby high-tech businesses and some scary looking athletic but decent people work out here that mind their own business. But on weekends, the teens and 20-somethings take over that want to make the most of their investment and are not willing to share the machines they are working on. Hygiene: Overall is well maintained and mens locker room area is acceptable Conclusion: You get what you pay for. It is a good club to use on weekdays only. I will go back to Club One though.

I was mostly happy with them. The racks get crowded and clips are a little hard to find but nothing too cumbersome. My major grievance with them came this month. I had a wrist injury and I have not been going to the gym for a month. My doctor said that it would take one or two more months to heal so I wanted to cancel my membership. Lo and behold my surprise when they want to charge me for the next month because there is a 30 day processing time for cancelations. I was going to rejoin after my wrist injury healed. But clearly they would rather lose a long term member instead of letting go of a one month fee.

I was visiting the area on a business trip and I appreciate that they had a daily rate. Machines and free weights were plentiful, and although the gym was busy everyone was polite. New lockers in the locker room. An area was being remodeled so obviously the owners are investing in their business. Spin and aerobics classes were being held while I was there and appeared well-attended. Sorry - no juice bar or day spa! Its a gym, people! You go there to lift and sweat! I LIKED IT!

A small place that makes you feel like its your own, but forget about busy hours. Overall, the place is clean, the staff working there right now is very nice. You just have to choose what time of the day you want to go training if youre really serious about it, cos sometimes, its frustrating having to deal with noobs right in the middle of an intense workout...

Decent weight equipment. Very good cardiovascular equipment. They do have plenty of power racks but they fill up fast. I try to go as soon as it opens but by 6 am its really busy. Light crowd on the weekend. Overall its my favorite area golds gym when I am traveling. Ps. They sell week passes if you used up your travel pass.

This is my home gym. Main thing I love about this one is that it has 5x squat & deadlift racks and sometimes I still have to go to the half racks and clean the weight to do squats. Big nice open areas. Sometimes it gets super busy, but then people filter out and its back to the regulars.

on the verge of sounding too snobbish: (1) sausage factory (2) seems to be no air conditioning, aka things get stanky (3) equipment that Arnold himself probably used when he was a body builder in the late 70s nuff said

Poor customer service to start off this review. In addition, the employees will tell you anything to get you to sign only for the fine print to say differently. I recommend any gym but this franchise.

Good solid gym that pretty much has it all. Everything you could need for intense to moderate training. There are plenty of machines so waiting isnt usually a problem. Good clean changing rooms.

Pretty solid gym. Often waits for squat racks from 5 - 830 but thats typical of any gym these days. Needs TVs in the weight area so I can get pumped and watch hockey/football at the same time.

Great equipment and a great environment, the music is terrible however. The music is either not suitable for a workout, or you cant even hear it at times.

They have a lot of good equipment but the people at the front desk are not very friendly. Hardcore bodybuilding gym if that works for you!

Great gym with excellent equipment! Certainly not the nicest or newest facility but top quality machines and plenty of free weights.

Im a travelling Golds member and this location works for me. It isnt one of the newest facilities, but its fairly well maintained.

Well worth traveling 20 minutes to get there. Variety of well-maintained equipment, excellent hours, and almost never over-packed

Love golds gym. Well equipped and great equipment and vibes. Gets crowded later in the day so I try to go early in the morning.

Good place to workout. Not lots of bells and whistles but it does the job and price is reasonable.

I dont know why but its somehow better now after the name change. Maybe some staff is different.

They offer day passes you can buy in advance. Works well for people who travel a lot.

If you liked Golds Gym, American Barbell is Golds Gym. Only the name has changed.
