I worked out on busted equipment for 2 years while they charged a yearly $70 fee to upgrade and maintain equipment. When I alerted management to unauthorized charges on my credit card, I was told in corporate robot speak that I could only challenge those charges through their app and that I would most likely not be refunded. When I asked for extra help in going through the system I got a literal eye roll from the manager. When I called Gold's corporate for billing help, I was told that this location is a franchise and that there was noting they could do. Now I'm stuck in a black hole billing loop; created by design, of course. It's not how friendships begin that you know the quality of a person or organization, but how they end and what level of integrity a person or entity operates in. The workers at this gym are not bad people, but they are purposely set-up and powerless automatons with no power to help you or humanize the situation when trouble happens. This place was a mid place to work-out in as gyms go--good for Burlington, but this billing dispute has been such a distasteful experience that I can not recommend and warn you and your wallet to stay away because there is no one there to help you when they start taking a little extra from you without you noticing it. Corporate integrity is so hard to come by these days ain't it? read more

This place is the WORST. STAY AWAY! My husband has been a member for years. We recently discovered they had fraudulently opened a second membership under his name. THIS IS A CRIME BY THE WAY. When we finally caught on they had charged us over $1300 in membership fees over several years. After months of contact with tons of people including the GM we have been given nothing but the runaround. THEY ARE REFUSING TO REFUND US. We now have to get a lawyer. This place is a scam. BEWARE. read more

I had to cancel my membership because Gold's Gym tried to charge me a $50 fee claiming I allowed someone to enter with my digital key tag. The camera shows me scanning my card while a woman I don't even know opened the door before I did. They said that meant I allowed her to enter using my pass. What exactly was I supposed to do--stop a grown adult and tell her to scan her own card? I don't know this person and can't control what someone else does at the door. I called and spoke with the GM, Nicholas, who said he would look into it, but I never heard back from him. I ended up having to dispute the charge with my bank to get my money back. Now they're trying to charge me $50 plus a $25 return item fee, for a total of $75. I have never missed a payment since opening my membership in 2023. This whole situation is ridiculous and very disappointing. read more

The staff has really changed. This used to be a friendly and welcoming place, now they have a manager who is disrespectful and confrontational. This is clearly the wrong job for you, if you are bothered by people. I will never recommend this location to anyone! read more

It appears the app is finally working properly. No more scan cards so you'll need to be there when staff is working to check in if you don't use a smart phone. Registered again and found out it's a lifetime membership so I didn't need to. Helped someone else register and it was a quick process. Friendly and helpful staff. I wish the sign up system was a bit more streamlined. I don't like using the sign pens and pads because they aren't regularly cleaned. Plenty of parking and easy to maneuver inside. read more

this location creates fraudulent memberships made with customer bank information. they have charged my parents over $1.3k for an unauthorized account under my father's name. this is a crime. extremely unprofessional and incompetent management. read more

So this one's a tossup between 3.5 and 4 stars. Upfront, it's a good gym, BUT IMO, that's not good enough for a Gold's Gym. Everything seems to be modern and when equipment is broken, they have a system in place to submit a ticket for work. My main critique is, I don't like walking in and seeing the front desk staff buried in their phones and generally inattentive, standing at the front desk, it's a bad look anywhere, but certainly at Gold's. I feel like that kind of degrades the experience, it feels generic here at that point, especially upon a guest's first impression. That was my initial experience today but I'd be remiss not to mention that once I made myself known to the person at the front desk, they ignored the phone and were attentive, no issue at all, they were pleasant and assisted with what I needed, hence the struggle to gives it a 3-star review here. Also, I can say plenty of good things about the other interactions I've had with the staff here, specifically the ones during the weekdays. You walk in, they're alert, ready to say "hi"/"good morning", etc., the energy is there for sure. Nothing feels boring and generic from the moment you walk in. Additionally, (Austin) the General Manager here is always very pleasant and seems to be a great representative for the location here in Burlington. read more

Gold's Gym - The front entrance and parking lot - Gyms Near Me - Burlington, North Carolina

the gym itself is good, golds gym is big but it's ran horribly, very unsanitary, bathrooms are always disgusting trash everywhere, they now charge ridiculous fees for the same thing their own staff does. read more

Great gym! Can get quite packed ~5PM/6PM during weekdays but that's pretty much the norm at most gyms The large size of gym helps to prevent sense of overwhelm during peak hours.Definitely recommend! read more

Beware and ask specific questions prior to renewing you membership. I have been a member over a year and loved it. Loved the early morning classes and the instructors. I renewed my membership stating that I was having trouble with the door key card for the early morning scheduled classes. It took me 5 trips including two conversations with the manager to finally be told that the gym was no longer open 24 hours unless you paid an additional $10 per month. If you check their website, Facebook page, and app it all states open 24 hours. No asterisk that it is with an additional charge. If you check their Google landing the hours are M 6-11, T 6-8, W 6-8, Th 6 midnight, F 6-8, Sat 8-4, S 10-2. This puts 10 scheduled classes a week unavailable unless you pay the extra $10. I was verbally told club hours different that anything I could find in writing. In addition I was told Silver Sneakers could only come at staffed hours which are on the app and different than any stated above. If the new management were just up front and told me of the changes I could have made my renewal decision not wasted five trips and not be writing this poor review. Please just clean up your communication and let you members know you when decide to change things or enforce rules that were in place that members were unaware of because it was not the practice of access given. I am disappointed because I liked the place, classes, friends attending the classes, the instructors but will not pay the extra $10 for the early classes starting two weeks after I signed by contract with the understanding those were part of the deal. read more

I joined Gold's Gym in January of 2024. My main interest was in attending their spin classes. The gym I attended before was reducing the number of classes offered. I went to visit Gold's on a trial basis first and was blown away by the friendliness and helpfulness of the instructors: they came and introduced themselves to me and asked me if I needed help with setting up my bike. The other club members were super friendly and inviting: I felt that I had found my tribe and it has been like this ever since. I am so glad I made the switch. Not only is the community loving and caring, I could spin bike every day if I wanted to. The offer is consistent, most often instructors can cover each others classes. Very rarely is a class canceled. read more

Visiting my son at Elon. Great gym with lots of equipment. Friendly staff and other gym goers. Can't beat the $15 day pass. Psyched to have a gym when I'm visiting. read more

Most instructors and people in the group fitness are not welcoming. Apparently they have to lead the classes in prayer and if you don't agree you are shunned. read more

This is one of the best gyms I have been to in a long time. Not only is the equipment top notch, the staff is very engaged and friendly. I travel every week for work which means I typically have to find a new gym depending on where I'm traveling. I have memberships with 6 other gym franchises and I've been to over 50 gyms across the US so far this year... in terms of equipment and the management running the gym, this is the best gym I've been too so far. Austin & Justin greet me by name and I've only been going to the gym for a few days. Very friendly and welcoming environment. Will be back whenever I'm in town. read more

Great gym. However, I went to cancel my membership through Peak, the company they use for billing and im still being charged.

Just awful. This place isn't even a Gold's Gym. It's technically called ABC Fitness. Someone private bought out the gym. This means that if you get a membership here, you are limited to just this gym. If you want to go to other Gold's Gym locations you'd have to get another membership. The cycling classes are nice, but the music choice is terrible. Your better off wearing earbuds the entire time. The customer service is awful. No one knows anything at this location. All the front desk reps tell you to e-mail, a rude woman named Kelli. She is more concerned about being respected than treating customers with respect. The e-mails she sent me were snarky and vague. We wound up bickering about me trying to freeze my account for a few months while I was out of the country. I was so upset by her, that I opted to terminate service with the company. It's not worth the hassle. It's a waste of time, energy, and money. Go to Planet Fitness. It's cheaper and at least you can go to multiple locations to workout read more

Gold's Gym - Gyms Near Me - Burlington, North Carolina

this gym started out strong. I was there for years and they don't honor practices for merchandise when you wanted to return two or three items out of the $800 I've spent on their merchandise that was equivalent to 100 bucks if that. No one knows how to do returns but one person which is ridiculous. read more

I'm from Illinois and visit this gym while I'm in Graham. The facility and most of the staff are friendly and courteous, with the exception of the racist guy at the front desk who didn't trust me to use the non-staffed hours door during my visit, I explained to him that sometimes I train at night or early am when I can't sleep. I own a small gym in Illinois myself.i guess he didn't trust me enough to give me access to the after hours door. read more

Currently as a member for almost a year now, you are always welcomed with a smile and everyone is pretty polite. The atmosphere isn't threatening or anything. Awesome kids area and has everything you need Down side would be it can be a little unkept at times I mean not a deal breaker at all who cares if the trash has paper towels in it the bath rooms are primarily clean nothing out of the ordinary. Sales staff is awesome and pool and basketball ball court you can't beat it by far the best gym around. read more

Staff needs to communicate better when kids club is closed. It's been about 5 times this year driving and it is closed. In addition to adding stories on Instagram about their classes being cancelled, maybe add a story about kids club being closed too. read more

If I could honestly leave No stars or Negative Stars I would. Ever since this location has gone Corporate, the Customer Service SUCKS! You have to schedule an appointment to speak with a manager. Since when have you had to do this? No appointment is needed for them to take your money or sign you up for a membership, but you better schedule to cancel. I have been a member here since it was The Rush. Since 2010. I am now scheduling an appointment to cancel and go find another gym. The Fitness Manager is rude and arrogant and the General Manager does not follow up with members and promises made. read more

Dope staff! I would definitely recommend coming to this location specifically not only because of the environment, but the amazing equipment. read more

The facility is well kept and the staff is nothing but nice. They communicated every bit of the contract with me and give a pretty decent military discount. I don't have any complaints :) read more

Excellent location for working out. Gym is Constantly being cleaned by the staff and the customers are also very cleanly and proper gym etiquette. large variety of workout material. Staff has always been kind and taken temperature. read more

Starting to feel really jipped out of this Golds Membership ... They are no longer 24/7 which hurts me since I work late second shift. They should of never bought out The Rush if it wasn't to improve. Haven't saw new equipment in the longest time at this location (at least not enough to justify its fees). It's also now more crowded than before since now everyone has to come between the new hours. Gold's seem to become more and more greedy with how many people we can get to pay for additional services while offering less. The staff is what is helping to keep it a float. However I am starting to see a lot of new staff as if the older ones have moved on. Planet Fitness is going 24/7. Let's see if Gold's does something to show they do care about their members and they are more than a member number. read more

This is gym is not well kept and the worst Gold's facility that I've attended. Beware when you join, I have paid almost $400 to join the gym, you will get charged $120 for a maintenance fee 2 months in that they do not tell you about. When contacting Kelli with Customer Service, she made it clear she did not appreciate my Type A personality, which I apologized for not asking how her day was and commenting on the weather but I was not happy about the random $120 charge, they didn't tell me about, however I understand the point of the charge. All she has to do was apologize, acknowledge their miscommunication and give me $120. After all was said and done there was nothing they would do so instead they would rather lose 2 members of the gym. The worst customer service I've experienced with any company and I say run far away from the Gold's Gym in Burlington!! read more

I've been a member here for a few years now without complaint. The staff has always been friendly and the gym is kept in decent shape. The reason for the mediocre review is solely due to being informed by the Burlington staff that my membership is no longer valid at their location due to being franchised. I signed up with Golds for the ability to visit locations in whatever area I'm in on a daily basis. I work alot in Burlington, so now I've got to either sign up for a second membership or find a new gym altogether. I also never received any notification of the change. read more

I currently don't recommend this gym because of the hours. I joined Golds Gym when it was operating 24 hours and since then, they have changed the hours from 5am to 11PM. I typically work out in the mornings from 4:30am - 5:15am so this only gives me 15 minutes to get my workout done inside the gym. I have been told that the hours will change but they have not so far. If the hours do not change, I will have no choice but to cancel my membership and join SuperFit, which is a 24 hour gym. read more

I love this gym, things are always clean, they do a great job with COVID and distancing, Jennifer is amazing always smiling and willing to help with any issues, front end staff are always smiling, great atmosphere, I always feel welcomed and safe would definitely recommend read more

You can read my review on Google. Straight forward and honest. I have seen this business operate as a customer and as an employee. I have seen this building as both the Rush and Gold's Gym. It has good and bad employees like anywhere, people who work out there are friendly for the most part, but definatley a few egos like any gym when it comes to employees or customers. Equipment is good, but much of it was inherited. Lots of money wasted on paint to rebrand everything. The main issue is the corporate structure and how there is a constant relay to Texas to Burlington, NC to Texas and back again. This really hinders customer service. A corporate machine indeed. Kind of encourages you to help more local businesses. read more

Great gym, lots of equipment and very clean. Some equipment is older, but works well. This gym not only has a lap pool, basketball court, but it also has a menthol sauna. Most classes are included with the membership, and the trainers are very (sometimes overqualified) in comparison to other gyms. I dislike that the gym is no longer 24-hours, but I do like the friendliness of the staff and the daycare is a really cool offering that most gyms do not have. For the record, I do not work at this gym; I do think it is important to recognize hard work and to post something positive. Thank you for your help in making this gym better Gold's Burlington! read more

A decent sized gym, the staff are really encouraging and helpful. Only thing I wish was the trainers wore a shirt stating they are staff, but it's cool. They are still very welcoming and helpful to wherever the people are on their gym workouts: from just starting to a pro read more

If I could give this place a lower review I would. Staff is negligent. Management has no real power to do anything and corporate management is oblivious on how to run a business. read more

Worst gym around here. The equipment is falling apart. It's all old and rusty. The child care SUCKS! Find another gym and save yourself a headache. read more

I would give zero stars if it was an option. Tried to cancel my membership today. I was told that only the manager can do that but he was on a "conference call". At least five of my friends who have canceled their memberships all arrived at the exact moment the only person who could help them was on a "conference call". MAGIC! I told them I was willing to wait because this was my day off and I needed this taken care of. An hour later the manager is still on a conference call. A guy comes in and wants to sign up - the manager comes right out. I said something to the guy at the front desk he said he tried to get the manager to see me when he took that guy back but he had another, you guessed it! CONFERENCE CALL. They wanted me to leave and come back tomorrow. I told them I was off today and was willing to wait. The manager refused to see me. He said he would not meet with me today. I am sending a letter, registered mail, informing corporate that I am canceling my membership and then I am stopping payment. I'm not even under contract. I chose month to month so I could cancel at anytime. Worst customer service. DO NOT JOIN THIS HORRIBLE PLACE. read more

Unfortunately the billing department of the gym is horrible. I've received late fees months in a row because the associate put in the wrong expiration date for my card and didn't save it. This is at least the six month in a row I have been dealing with this issue. A general manager was supposed to take care of this matter but no one has gotten back to me. The gym is extremely unclean and now have decided to take all of the paper towels out of the bathrooms. read more

The equipment are pretty old and not well maintained. You would expect better from a big name but you will be wrong but the trainers are really friendly. read more

This location, as well as several others in the Southeast, has not paid it's employees in full for over two months. Management, which has changed in the midst of this issue, is still only so cooperative as to promise that it's really coming in a few days this time. read more

I have tried to cancel my membership for over 4 months and my credit card is still being billed. Trainers are great, but customer service is TERRIBLE!!! Manager is never available. No one can give me a phone number for district offices or even corporate! I was given a street address in Texas to write to voice my concerns. Horrible!! read more
