This is my first time writing a review for Gold's Gym, but it's actually my second membership with…read morethem. I originally joined when they first opened in Northridge and was really excited, especially because of the movie room with bikes and treadmills where they played different movies throughout the week. That was such a unique perk and a great add-on to the membership. Unfortunately, they've since removed the movie room and replaced it with a small "private" workout space. Honestly, it still feels crowded, and the area isn't big enough to make much of a difference. The Northridge location itself is very small and overcrowded. It's common to wait for machines while people scroll on their phones between sets. The gym has a big mix of influencers, college students, and locals, which makes it feel like a social hub at times. That said, the overall energy is motivating since most people are there to get fit. The highlight for me has definitely been the group classes, especially Zumba on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The instructor is amazing, full of energy, fun, and keeps you coming back. I've burned up to 700 calories in a single class! Just be sure to arrive early because it gets packed. My only other issue is pricing. My partner was offered one rate ($20), but I was quoted another ($23) on a different day. As a returning member, I also wasn't given any loyalty discount, which was disappointing. Overall, Gold's Gym Northridge feels a little unstructured and inconsistent. I'm interested to see how the Beverly Center location turns out, but for now I'd give this location about 3 stars. And I'm ending my membership the a I all fees are a scam.

Update on my last review,…read more A month ago the gym had a new manager come in. He is absolutely wonderful. He is fixing broken equipment and working to get the gym back up to standards.

If you're looking to get stronger and healthier I recommend you start by contacting Justin!…read more I highly recommend him!!!! He is a true professional with a great personality that knows his stuff and has a thorough understanding of how the body works. I initially came to him because I suffer from back, leg and hip pain and mobility issues. Which made me unable to undertake strenuous exercise. Justin was able to understand my physical condition and tailored the sessions to meet my specific needs while still challenged me within my injury capabilities and managed to make every session enjoyable. I can honestly say that my pain is almost gone now. THANK YOU JUSTIN!!!

Extremely thorough!!…read more Not your average everyday trainer! I've been in the industry for a number of years, and throughout that time I've trained with a handful of trainers. So I know a good trainer when I see one. Justin is exactly that! Not only has he helped me achieve more then I thought possible but we did it in a fun, safe, efficient manner. I highly recommend Justin for anyone and everyone. Do yourself a favor and contact him before he's completely booked up. You will not be disappointed.

This past month they opened up their gym portion for anyone and everyone so I took advantage. So happy I did. Taking both Fit and Revolution classes; I found myself with a bunch of like-minded, health conscious individuals. The classes don't drag or feel boring, but are surprisingly fun, encouraging and motivational to work out. The gym itself has a little of everything. From weights to TRX to rowing machines. Even yoga! During this year's LoveFest you could feel the excitement and bonding from every participant. Although I didn't win any raffle, I felt like I won the opportunity to find the best gym in Simi Valley. Thank you Adam and all other trainers for letting me join your classes. I look forward to more in the future.

I've been training with Erika for over three years, and I can honestly say she's been…read morelife-changing. Being over 50, I didn't want to just stay active, I wanted to feel strong, capable, and confident in my body. She helped me do exactly that. What sets her part is that she truly knows her clients. She understands my strengths, my limitations, and went to push me versus went to adjust. On days when I'm not feeling motivated, she doesn't let me coast, but she also never pushes recklessly. It's a balance of discipline and care. Beyond the physical results, she listens. She shows up fully as a human, not just a trainer counting reps. I trust her completely, and that trust is a big reason I've stayed consistent and seen real, lasting change. If you're looking for someone who will challenge you, respect your body, and genuinely invest in your progress, I couldn't recommend her more highly.

I can't recommend Erika enough!…read more After having my fifth baby, I walked into her gym feeling completely drained--zero energy, stuck with stubborn baby weight, and honestly just overwhelmed. I didn't know where to start, but Erika changed everything. In just a few months, I began dropping the baby weight, gotten noticeably stronger, and actually feel healthy and energetic again (something I hadn't felt in years!). What sets Erika apart is how much she teaches you along the way--she's constantly educating me on nutrition, form, recovery, and little habits that make a huge difference. Every session she's encouraging, positive, and truly invested in my progress. She celebrates the wins with me and pushes me just the right amount when I need it. ( Even when I don't think I can do it) If you're a busy mom (or anyone who feels stuck), Erika is the real deal. She's patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares. I look forward to my workouts !
