Best Gym in SB!!! Not crowded, great free weights, nice sauna. Staff is very helpful and towel service is a nice way to top it all off! Thanks Gold enjoying the experience!!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great staff and good customer service[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but maintenance team is slacking very bad. This machine has been out of service for almost 6 months and the bathrooms doors need new locks. Men's bathroom has been broken for 2 weeks read more

Gold's Gym - Power plate been down for 6 months - Trainers Near Me - Goleta, California

The Goleta gym really has everything needed to target whatever part of the body you're focussing on. The equipment is generally well-maintained, and the place is clean. The only flaws I can think of concern air flow and A/C, and sound. The east-facing windows are not insulated, and they draw in a LOT of solar energy. At the same time, the stationary bikes and stairclimbers are right in this area, and there are no fans or air conditioning over this type of aerobic equipment. The chosen audio is loud and ghastly in the main equipment room. It's some combo of hip hop and ancient, shrieking, industrial rock. No one listens to it, but it is annoying. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We attempted to use our Silver Sneakers Gold's Gym membership.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We sold our property in Rancho Cucamonga and we're out here looking for property and wanted to use our Silver Sneakers class this Wednesday the 19th and attempted and was told that unless we were willing to pay for the day to use the gym, they would not honor our membership nor would they honor a Trial so I guess if we move out to Goleta or Santa Barbara area we won't be going to Golds Gym read more

Goleta location seems less packed than uptown which is a pro. But all the equipment at the old town location is so beat compared to uptown. Sauna absolutely sucks here. ALL the treadmills are janky and need to be fixed. All but 2 the rest of them can't peak at high speeds. Weight machines need maintenance. Other than that this place is definition of mid. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I totally enjoy going to Gold's. How could I not? It's keeping me in shape and out of trouble![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Joking aside, [[HIGHLIGHT]]staff and members make up this great Gold's community in the Goodland![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Join up and you won't regret it. read more

the only problem is sometimes that it is very loud in the main room. I haven't been able to use a device for over a month. There's a warning saying it's not in use, but they don't solve the problem. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I like this gym, it is always so clean and the staff kindly greet you every time you enter and leave.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I like how they have experimented with the televisions playing different channels, and now only have one playing 30 second clips. Sometimes when a machine is not working it takes a little time to get it back. But, they're always well stocked in the bathrooms, disinfecting wipes and towels. The towel service is great, I appreciate how they have 2 different sizes. They even have the sanitizing bottles and little rags. This gym also has a good variety of merch and drinks. read more

I mainly go for the classes: Spin, Senior Fit, Body Balance and Yoga. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love all of the classes, the teachers are great and full of energy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff almost always smile and say 'hi' when I walk by them, and say 'have a good day' when I leave.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wonderful gym. read more

Everything usually always goes really well when ever I pop into one of any 3 golds gyms that are located in the greater Santa Barbara area I live in... [[HIGHLIGHT]]Staffs always friendly w a warm greet and a few towels warmed and ready for me when I 1st walk in the door, which is a great service I love btw (Towels come w membership)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] .. equipments never an issue and availability is always great never have a problem grabbing cardio equipment and the gyms never overcrowded which is also a great plus right... bathrooms come fully stocked w toiletries and private showers and saunas being in both male and female restrooms is great plus too for more privacy... overall I can go on n on about how nice golds is for $59.99 a month! I have no complaints, Cheers to health n wellness! Thank You Golds Gym for that. read more

I like the atmosphere this morning. It was not crowded. We had good music going. The temperature was very comfortable even though I'm sweating thank you for creating a great workout space for so many read more

Love our instructors love my class and love that it's close to were I live. The gym is always clean

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Even though you are a Gold's Gym member with Platinum Access, which includes all Gold's Gym SoCal locations, including Goleta and Santa Barbara locations, you will encounter resistance when attempting to use your membership perks[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As a Platinum Access member, where your contract allows for unlimited guest privileges, misinformed staff will fail to adhere to your membership contract and will prevent your entry with a guest.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Note that their Goleta Location FAQ states: What's the policy on guests or bringing a friend? As long as guest passes are included in your membership or there's a special promotion, you can bring a guest. This location operates on its own rules and terms that don't align with the Gold's Gym brand and does not care about the terms and conditions of your membership contract. read more

Enjoying the experience with Gold's except for one thing. The place needs some spic & span done more often. Instructional fitness rooms are not very clean, but worst of all are the locker rooms and sauna. People using the sauna in street shoes and clothes is a continual nuisance. Why not post bigger signs regarding hygiene? Something like this might do the trick: "The rumor is that people fully dressed in the sauna is because of the teeny, tiny size of their feet and other parts." read more

I love the Goleta golds gym. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff, including Emma, Itzel, Ryan, Shereen, Nathan, Lucia and Maya are great. They always greet me with a big smile and always call me by name[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I also want to send a big thank you to Neida, Lauren, and Tristan. Thanks for keeping the gym so clean. Lastly, I want to thank Hector and Shannon for doing such a wonderful job managing the gym. Keep up the great work. read more

I just joined Golds. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff (Shannon, Johnny, Jacob pictured below) and facilities are top notch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

I go back and forth between thenGoleta and upper state street location and they are [[HIGHLIGHT]]both amazing, awesome staff[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and and the best equipment, thank you! read more

Was in town for work and looking for a place to workout to lift some weights. This place is full of themselves and was asking $40 for a day pass!!! I might as well buy a month membership at this price. Never have I have I been asked that much for a day pass! Something is very wrong about this SB/Goleta area... Looking around it was a very small gym. Travelers, I'd say look elsewhere but the options are very limited but I'm not paying the ransom price they are asking... read more

Been working out here for years. Great gym, plenty of space, a variety of quality equipment, and excellent service from support staff and front desk! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Managers are .P.o.s's and have terrible attitude towards their customers[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also won't let me cancel a membership over the phone even though I do not live in the area no more[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . Most gold gyms are cool but not this one . [[HIGHLIGHT]]They said I couldn't cancel unless I paid them however I called a different golds and they canceled for me[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . [[HIGHLIGHT]]The manager the front desk manager is a btch. Please just fire front desk manager and place would be ok[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Always too hot and lack of A/C on hot days, water fountain is always warm too, machines always broken, bathroom sinks always smell like rotten eggs... For a golds gym with $65/mo pricetag, it's a rip off read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The manager rudely asked my to leave mid-workout due to having an overdue payment which is completely reasonable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]However had she approached me differently/kindly I would've stayed a member at gold's but I don't like being treated that way.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Considering I've been a member there for years I feel like this newer manager got up on her high horse and bossed me out of the gym like I was nobody.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a shame because I've had no issue there before until this manager came along.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Over a year later, and this is still a problem. In the past month, the opener hasn't shown up twice. People only go to the gym at 5 in the morning because they have to get to work. This is disrespectful to people's routines, and isn't fair. We pay our membership to be able to attend the gym during the posted hours. If the gym isn't open during posted hours, we are not able to get our money's worth. read more

I love this gym!! Good & nonjudgemental vibes from staff and patrons. Prefer this location to upper and lower state st. locations. CLEANEST gym ever too! I never see even a speck of lint on the floor. read more

Gold's Gym - Women's bathroom - Trainers Near Me - Goleta, California

12 TVs but they can't figure out how to change the channel. Gyms fine. Equipment could use an update here and there

Always crowded, only benefit is they have 4 squat racks which is all I wanted. Also they will rip you off super hard with the contract you sign, if you don't like it and cancel, they still charge you for 3 months guaranteed. With the annual fee and $55 a month thats a cool few hundreds just to realize this gym is overcrowded and poorly kept. read more

Hello I've been so happy that I've been able to be able to have the use of the gym,it's been so nice to come and feel as if I belong here ,the staff are so welcoming as you enter and I feel I am cared for as soon as I walk in ,when I enter the gym is always spotless and clean .staff here all seem to be busy doing something cleaning answering questions,the gym has a great feeling of comfort that all the weights are organized and put back where they belong,the machines are always available and especially In Working order.the treadmills and bikes are excellent I'm so pleased to be a member here,restrooms are always clean and fresh and maintained what I am very appreciative, read more

The gym kept charging me for my membership after I canceled on the website. I've been overcharged $180 for no reason

I was up in the Santa Barbara area and went for a workout at Gold's. I really enjoyed it. They have a great free weight area, the sauna was super relaxing and they have towel service, . It wasn't crowded and that made it relaxing. I'm lookin forward to next time. read more

It's a shame because I was looking forward to checking out this gym, and after a couple weeks of using their outdated equipment they cancelled my membership out for no reason. Terminating a membership without reaching out to a member is not a good way to go about business Gold's. Not to mention the fee that was charged to my account for the "free trial". Scammers! read more

I would advise to not use this gym. Especially if you are out of town and trying to get a workout. 40 dollars for a day pass is unbelievable. Get better equipment if that's what you want to charge. I recommend superior fitness center down the street if you want your workout to meet expectations for what you pay read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I would like to recognize Johnny Aldermen who works at Gold'd Gym in Goleta, CA. Since arriving at my gym a few months ago, Johnny has gone the extra mile. He has implemented positive changes in how the gym functions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Towels at a table stacked near the front desk. Towels available in the locker rooms. Always well restocked without any issues. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I notice Johnny constantly walking the floor and noticing what, if anything, could be improved.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One Day he had Francisco, the janitor, cleaning underneath the elliptical Precor machines, and disabling the units so all of them could be cleaned and vacuumed inside. A first! Sometimes I see him in the men's locker room just making sure everything is running ok. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Anyway you cut it, I feel like Johnny is giving his ALL, in his capacity as manager. Many positive improvements have come along since Johnny's tenure here at Golds Gym in Goleta. He's definitely on top of things.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank you for having such a capable employee working here. We all benefit from it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I recently forced myself to join a gym so I could lose some excess "thirty-year old" weight. I did my research by visiting multiple gyms in the area (AC4, 24 Hour Fitness, Goleta Valley Athletic Club) to research the spaces, pricing, customer service and what they each had to offer. I ended up joining Gold's Gym because of their current new member promotion, friendly/outgoing staff members, various gym locations in the area (Goleta, Uptown Santa Barbara, Downtown Santa Barbara and many cities that I may be traveling to nationwide), great class offerings and several friends to work out with who are already members. Perks to this gym: -Decent variety of newer machines in great condition (love the Virtual Active program on the ellipticals!) -Overall clean locker rooms and a sauna -Fairly spacious layout with even an outdoor courtyard, spinning room, yoga/class room and backroom. -Hot/Bikram yoga class offering for those who can tolerate it (small extra fee) -Love the cold eucalyptus towels to wipe my face after a rough workout -Fair amount of parking, unlike the La Cumbre location Things they could improve upon: -Subpar wi-fi connection making it difficult to watch YouTube videos or steam music apps while working out -Having an additional bottle water filling station/fountain since the one is slow and sometimes has a line -Improving the limited hours they're open on the weekends when they close at 9 pm; Weekdays they're open until 11 pm -More visibility of staff cleaning; they seem to do really great at this in the downtown location I'm overall happy with my decision to join this gym. Now onto to losing weight! read more

Gold's Gym - Entrance of Calle Real - Trainers Near Me - Goleta, California

See all

Been a Golds gym member for years and the Goleta location doesn't disappoint. Was driving thru on a weekend getaway and had to stop to check it out, All the equipment is in great shape, staff very helpful, super clean, ended up staying longer than I should have and got into a little trouble with the Mrs!!! read more

Great fun with a great location, it's so amazing. I love this gym. I would recommend this to everyone near by.

They have the same number of squat racks as they have Smith machines: 2 The upgrades done recently to the place are good but the smit machines need to go and they need to remove equipment that people don't use read more

Have heard multiple of my friends who wanted to try out the gym recently be told the "UCSB Rec Cen is closed" and therefore that a free pass would not be allowed and they would have to pay 20 dollars for a day pass instead. First of all, I'm pretty sure this is discrimination against any potential patrons who appear to be "college-aged." Second of all, I'm personally an alumni from UCSB who decided to stay in Santa Barbara and will most definitely never go this gym and will tell any of my alumni friends that have also stayed in SB to stray away from this gym. Also I would much prefer the large space of 24 hour fitness/weightlifting atmosphere at Fischer's gym in Santa Barbara and real restrooms to the cramped size and Port-a-potties (WTF) here. Can't believe the blatant discrimination this gym allows coupled with the crappy atmosphere and tiny space, so many better options in the Goleta and Santa Barbara area. read more

My friend, who recently graduated, was about to bus to this location to check it out but then received a phone call from an employee stating that UCSB students will not be allowed to use any 3-day passes and instead will have to pay the $20 day-pass fee. In the end he was not allowed to use his 3-day pass as he is "college-age'd". I understand that day passes are only viable at participating locations, but in this case they should not be allowed for everyone then, instead of discriminating against UCSB students and "college-age" people. As a recent alum myself staying in Goleta I definitely will not be recommending this location to any of my friends in this location nor coming in to sign up for membership either. read more

Sebastian, the check-in clerk, has amazing customer service and interpersonal skills! Everytime I come into the gym he creates a welcoming, warm environment. I appreciate his social, friendly demeanor. The wifi is still having trouble connecting off and on, but works more frequently than it used to. The gym is always clean and machines are all functional. The gym never gets overly packed, like UCSB's Rec Cen, even during busy times. read more

This gym has almost no reasonable amenities or any special equipment and yet is ridiculously over priced. Additionally, there is absolutely no internet or cellular data that functions in the gym at this location. Planet fitness Goleta costs 1/6th of the price and has more amenities, less crowds, and internet that actually works. Gold's handled charging costumers during the pandemic extremely poorly. Only attend this gym if you enjoy throwing money away. read more
