I've been going to this gym 3x a week for nearly 6 months. First off, all of the staff members I've interacted with have been friendly and helpful. I was nervous to try a new exercise and one staff member didn't hesitate to stop what she was doing to help me set up and show me how to do the movement properly. I feel confident that the staff is responsive to the gym users needs. There were a couple times I went and all the squat racks were full, lo and behold a week later they had added additional squat racks. Now there is never an issue. Overall, I just love going. The vibe is positive. People are friendly. The facilities are well kept. The ONLY critique I have is that the music playlist is grating to me, but it's an easy fix. Bring earphones! read more

The biggest problems are: Constantly have nothing left to clean the machines and not maintaining machines well or fixing broken ones. They have also closed at times even though they are a 24 hour gym? They need some adults working in there with some better work ethic. read more

This is my leg day gym, I've been coming for over a year. I now cant get a full leg day in because the hamstring curls both seated and prone are uneven on the footpad, this causes uneven loading meaning knee pain and muscle imbalances for me. The prized jewel of Huntersville Golds, the reason I come, the Arsenal leg extension, im not sure what changed over the last month but to me it seem the belt isnt lubricated as the concentric is super stiff now and the eccentric is actually non existent. Between this gym and Harrisburg golds i cant get a full leg day in anymore. If nothing changes soon I will have no choice left but to find a new gym, after all nobody likes a top-heavy bodybuilder. read more

I came here as a visitor, as I wanted to use the sauna and the scale prior to going to a local jiu jitsu tournament. The staff were very friendly and accommodating to me. I came in a Sunday morning so the gym was not busy at all. The locker rooms were very clean, ample space to change, showers were clean as well. The sauna was great and worked. They have a scale in the bathroom along with hair dryers. I didn't use their gym equipment so I don't know the quality of them but from first glance everything looked clean and I highly recommend this place if you're visiting and want to get a workout in! read more

I was greeted with smiles, and a happy face from the moment I walked in. The young lady in front Madison explained everything in great detail with options. The equipment is awesome as well as the free weights. I would recommend if you're in Harrisburg to try this gym out! read more

Gold's Gym - Fatman Plumbing pro recommend golds, gym Harrisburg, North Carolina! - Gyms Near Me - Harrisburg, North Carolina

I enjoy going to Gold's in Harrisburg so much and that 100% contributed to starting personal training with Dylan when I first signed up, I was so Insecure and really didn't know much and he his experience and customer service surpassed my expectations. If you have any uncertainties I would recommend signing up and making an appointment with Dylan. You will not be disappointed. read more

This gym is absolute dog sh!t. SAVE YOUR MONEY go literally anywhere else There are so many options in the area, choosing a run down, MELTING HOT, unethical gym is not the way to go read more

Golds gym Harrisburg is probably the cleanest gym I have ever been part of. The bathrooms are ALWAYS stocked and smell fresh. There are always staff members on the floor cleaning, wiping things down, vacuuming and being friendly with members. If you want to be part of a clean and friendly gym, GOLDS GYM HARRISBURG IS THE PLACE FOR YOU. Shout out to Karen Small and the other staff who's always cleaning late night making sure the gym is in the cleanest condition!! read more

On top of everything I've laid out in the previous paragraph, I actually had a worse experience last week. I was squatting at the gym, when I took a step back and tripped and almost fell with 225lbs resting on my shoulders. After putting the weight down I found the FLOOR IS ACTUALLY COMING UP! Honestly this is another example of how unsafe this gym can be. I actually tried to talk to the general manager. I attempted to call on Thursday and after 3 different phone calls trying to find out when he would be in, I was told he wouldn't be in till Monday. I have now spoken to him as I wish to cancel my membership and he instantly went into robot voice of repeating his script on they don't do cancelations. He showed a blatant disregard for the safety of his members. I've attached a photo of where the floor is coming up for proof. read more

Staff is awful and rude they never acknowledge you & the place is under new management thank God so i might give this place another try in a couple of months however it's outdated and the machines are old also the locker rooms at least in the women's needs a whole renovation asap. read more

EVERYONE SAYING ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO CANCEL IS 100% CORRECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT EVER SIGN UP I've been trying to cancel for OVER A YEAR and have not been able to do so. They sent me back and forth with ABC and Golds gym so many times I got confused. They've been taking money from me for almost two years now. And I'm on the phone with ABC currently and they still can't cancel me. read more

I too was told to sign on the kiosk pad when I joined a three month membership paid in full however my credit card was charged for 24 months it was insanely difficult to get my money back and to cancel the membership I would never ever return to this gym read more

NEVER GO TO THIS GYM. I made a review a year ago. They told me they had cancelled my membership and never did. Ended up being charged for a year after I cancelled despite multiple emails to customer service. As I said before equipment is terrible. Go to any other gym unless you want to file a dispute through your credit card and let "customer service" ignore you out of greed. read more

Save yourself the time money and headache!! I have been counting down the months until I get end my membership here- which I was told at time of signing I could get out anytime but after losing my part time job (I'm also a full time student) I was told I couldn't get out of my membership without a doctors note? The front desk staff is friendly and I love all of the group fit instructors, but the assistant manager is probably one of the rudest people I've ever spoken with in a customer service setting. I guess growing up as a YMCA member under my parents has set the expectation for how you should treat your members and this does not come close. Over my college winter break, I had surgery and then immediately after went on a trip with my family. During this trip my credit card was compromised and my auto draft was declined (obviously). I was charged a late fee AFTER calling and explaining the situation and explaining when a credit card is hacked, it is a massive headache and Golds wasn't the #1 priority but promised I would come in as soon as I was back in charlotte and healed from surgery to update my billing. I was called probably 10 times during my vacation being reminded-simply a money hungry company. Would LOVE to know where our bi annual fee (of $60 or $70) went??? Group fit room desperately needs new free weights as the current ones only range 2-6 lb and look to be about 10 years old. read more

Best gym I've been to by far. I love the cardio theater room. It's nice to be able to workout while watching a movie. A few machines are broken alot and that's why I didn't give five stars (stair stepper), but the other amenities make up for this. Also would love the cycling room to be a little more updated read more

Fist time experience at "Gold's Gym". Not at all impressed. First observation, cardio equipment outdated. Second observation, lack of duplicate equipment - this means long waits until equipment is available. Third observation, most of the sanitation towels to wipe down equipment are empty - filthy equipment. Would not recommend. read more

Believe all the other reviews that they will tell you can cancel at any point without any significant cost. They signed me up without me realizing there was a contract and conveniently, the employee never put in my email address so I never even knew I was under contract until a few months later when I went to cancel and found I was in a one-year contract. I have been attempting to cancel a Gold's Gym Membership for almost 4 months and have been getting the runaround from everyone involved. Background: I signed up with Gold's Gym in Harrisburg, NC requesting a month-to-month, no commitment membership at the end of December 2020. During the signup process, I learned there is an offer for employees and spouses of the Town to receive a reduced monthly membership rate so I said of course I would like to pay less for a membership. However, this reduced rate apparently came with a one-year contract that I was never informed of. I was asked to sign a couple of times on the POS kiosk which I was told were the agreements of the gym and agreement to have the card on file billed. I was NEVER giving ANYTHING to read in full, everything was done on their tiny signature pad where there were no tables or anything showing I was signing a contract. I never received a copy of contract until 2 months after beginning cancellation process. They will give tell you to call PeakServe (their new billing company) to cancel, but PeakServe won't do anything other than follow some made up policies that are not even in your contract. It's absolutely unbelievable and I cannot believe that they are still in business after operating like this. read more

I have been reading the reviews that have been posted and I can't figure out why some of them have one or two stars. Gold's Gym is located in Harrisburg, NC and it's a must have for my needs. I have been a member for several years now and I think that this place deserves 5 stars. I retired from work back in August 2015 because of medical reasons. In December of that same year I weighed 318 lbs. and I went to the emergency room and found out that I had blood clots below my waist in both legs and at the top of my thighs. I had surgery having multiple stints put in and then I went straight into the ICU. Not my choice. Today I weigh 206 lbs. I changed my diet, I started back going to Gold's Gym and this time I got really serious about my walking and using all the facilities that they offer. It's a great place and I'm grateful for them and the business. Thank you, Terry W read more

Trainers don't show up for paid training! Was charged over $800 for services not even rendered. What a rip off stay far away from ANY Golds Gym. read more

I have been coming here off and on for almost three years. It has been a few months since my last visit, as my NC membership ended and I moved away for a while. Having visited more than 30 Gold's Gyms across the country over the past 10 years, I can easily say this is one of the best smaller city ones and easily beats the other comparable ones with regards to equipment. The variety here is amazing, especially given its size. I have never had an issue with broken equipment as some other people have mentioned and I wouldn't hesitate to speak up to management if I did. I think it's easy to criticize with this media tool, but very few take the time to acknowledge greatness when they see it. I love this place and I hope others will come forward and offer a deserving review as well. No, I do not work for Golds, nor am I in the industry. I am just a happy person that doesn't like to see angry people leave nothing but bad reviews on great businesses. read more

In my opinion this is the best golds in the area. The facility is always clean and equipment maintained and wiped down. There is enough space and equipment for everyone to use simultaneously. There is an exceptional biking and cardio workout as well as a cinema cardio room and ggx studio for classes that run regularly. The bathroom has its own sauna and clean showers. Towels are provided at the front desk and the staff is friendly and easily accommodating. read more

See all

I've been going here for the last month or two, well ever since the state let them open again lol. So far the gym is great. There's lots of equipment, several different machines and free weights for pretty much every workout you would want to do. 4 stars for now after I get more of a feeling for the gym I may update this. read more

Coming from someone that has worked in several of the gyms in the Charlotte area for years, this is a review you may want to see! Membership is just about as much as LIfetime Fitness, about double Fitness Connection, and more than LA Fitness. Depending on your income it can either be a little more, less or the same as the YMCA. Ammenities: read more

I really have enjoyed my first year at Golds. Great place to work out and the staff is awesome. I was terrified to join a gym based on previous experiences but Sam and the team have made me a fan. Open 24 hours, clean, and welcoming. If you don't have a great experience working out at this gym you're doing something wrong. The place is continuing to grow every month with great new people and they all encourage you to hit your PRs. Highly recommend. read more

I had visited this gym with a buddy of mine since she works out there from time to time. I thought their parking lot was a good size, not too small or too big. When I first walked in, I was greeted by an employee. She seemed nice and told me some information and also made me sign the guestbook (standard procedure). I guess I was expecting the gym to be a lot bigger. It was a good size, but I felt like it felt a whee bit cramped. I did like how they divided the sides. When you walk in, the left side is for the cardio, and the the right side is for the weight lifting. They did have good amounts of exercise equipment, and kudos to being able to easily find wipes for after you're done using your machine. The bathrooms were a very good size. Now I didn't use a locker, but they did have plenty of lockers for the guests. They even have a nice couch for you to rest on in the locker room and catch the news. I felt the bathroom was very well kept, and it also has a sauna in there. This gym was fine, but I don't think I'll be coming here since it's a lot further from my house. It was a good experience though. read more

I have been to several locations this one by far is the best! The instructors of the classes are very nice and motivating. Out of the staff is approachable and helpful. This location offers everything anyone could need including a cinema cardio room. Even the bathrooms are nice .I usually go to closer to my house but this one is my favorite! read more

Preface - if you sign a contract you pay the money. Period. And if there are repairs this gym does take care of them in a timely manner. Things break (especially when people abuse the equipment-don't know what the heck they are doing) and it takes time to fix- so cut em a break. I have had no problems. I have been here 6x week for over a year and I have seen a lot of changes. 1. The staff now is absolutely incredible. I have never been to a gym where all employees are fitness motivated and really care about the customer/clients goals. They are all training themselves and always offer support/advice. Emily, Michelle and Cole at the desk are amazing. Knowledgeable, supportive and always there for great shakes and to answer questions. The customer service they provide is unmatched. Golds don't lose them. Thanks. Also readers- tip them if they make you a shake ha. It's the right thing to do. Trainers- now I consider myself to be in great shape but I was hitting a plateau. So I spoke with the training manager Davon. He never pressured me to sign up for some crazy expensive without a conversation. He got to know what my goals were and motivated me challenge myself and directed me to have a conversation with a trainer he thought would be a good fit. I appreciated this. So I met my man Thomas... guys if you wanna WORK and wAtch your body transform - look no further. This guy has the focus and motivation like nothing I have ever seen. He has taught me so much about my body and diet. No one knows everything that's why training properly is important and if you wanna transform your body and your life I encourage you to go and speak with these trainers. Thomas is the best trainer I have EVER met or worked with- he will change your life. The gym is clean. The people are great. Showers sometimes spell like piss but that ain't their fault--- don't pee in the shower people and then come here to complain ha. For what you want in a gym this place exceeds expectations. read more

Been a member here for almost two years but cancelled my membership last month, sent an email and a letter via snail mail, mailed from Harrisburg Post Office and noticed my membership fee was still drafted out a month later. I was told they never received anything in the mail nor via email, which I have in a sent file showing the date and time sent. I figured with two methods of cancellation it could not be messed up, but I was wrong. Only reason I am giving two stars is because the gentleman on the phone was very cordial and cancelled the membership. However he still couldn't (or wouldn't, not sure of the actual authority he has) give the money back for this month, I have no need for a company that either lies or ignores customer request, especially when it is done by their rules which state 30 days notice in "writing". Extremely poor customer service from that respect. As far as the facilities go I will say it was nice and always clean when I was there, if my request was taken care of probably would have given them 4 stars but if you join make sure you probably cancel in person, of course then you have to listen to the sales pitch to keep you on. And the child care center inside was nice for the times I went. read more

The gym is open from 5am-10pm Monday-Friday, 8am-8pm Saturday and 10am-6pm Sunday, so the hours are convenient. They have a nice juice bar, a clean men's locker room (I can't speak for the women's) and the membership is very affordable. Speaking of membership fees, part of it is used for repairs to equipment when breakdowns occur. The repairs seem to be taking longer than they did when I joined 2 years ago. Aside from that, Gold's is a pretty good gym to join. read more

It surprised me... I was in town from Greensboro and looked up 2 Gold's gyms each about 20 minutes away from South End. I called the other one first and since I was a member in the Triad that they would charge me 30.00 for one week while I was in town. I went to this one instead and when I got there I got a free one week pass. They get it. At least someone there did and it was a good feeling to be appreciated for maintaining this membership for as long as I have. read more

This Gym is probably the best around. I think I've been to all. Front desk always friendly and equipment well maintained. It seems everyone has a problem with cancellation policy not the Gym. Pay in advance and enjoy one of best Gyms Charlotte has to offer. read more

100% Do Not recommend this gym. communication is horrible. I have sent several emails and voice messages That always go unanswered until about the 3 or 4th attempt. even though my membership was up in October I'm still to this day paying for a membership that i don't use due to covid and when I try to reach out to the GM for information- I get the run around. I don't think I should be punished for not being able to come to the gym due to covid. do yourself a favor and just avoid gym memberships. They are nothing but A trap. read more

She was sold this gym membership buy a bogus assumption that she could cancel anytime as long as she paid a cancellation fee. Kimberly L we are still getting NOWHERE. They are still trying to make her pay for August And Sept even though she requested cancellation early August. No one ever responded to her and phone messages were ignored. She's has spoken with Devin three times and gotten nowhere. Please call us or email. We really need to talk to someone who does not give us the runaround. read more

Are you looking for a gym where all of the equipment works some of the time? A gym that doesn't utilize the space it has? A gym that uses plates to hold equipment in place? A gym that tells you they know the equipment needs repairs and puts it on the list 4 months ago and still doesn't have it fixed? A gym that has squeeky equipment. A gym that has two people open up but only gives one of them a key causing it to open 30 min late? Then you have your gym enjoy. read more

Gold's Gym - I don't even want to know - Gyms Near Me - Harrisburg, North Carolina

Worst gym for the price, they spend all their money on full time staff that don't do anything rather than getting better equipment

I have been going to Fitness Connection for years. It's was a time for a change. I had too many problems with my account. I completed the 7 pass on line for Gold's gym. I had to go to gym in order for the pass to be activated. Jan 29 th was my first time working out at the Harrisburg location. The staff gave me 7 day pass, but they didn't give me a tour of the gym...wow!!! Between 2 pm and 6 pm the gym isn't crowded, which I like. I was able to get a good workout without waiting on equipment to be free. The men's locker room furniture needs to be upgraded or repaired. The gym was kind of warm. read more

Unethical Business Practices!!!! Run as far and fast as you can! Gold's Gym is a nightmare to deal with. I read numerous negative reviews about Gold's and against my better judgement decided to join and what a mistake it has been. Every day that I enter the facility and swipe my card, I am informed to see a manager stating my account is delinquent. The monies are auto-drafted from my account on the first of the month. I have shown the counter clerks where the monies have been drafted from my account I have been harassed by employees for payment of Obie's I have already paid. Today, in review of my credit card statement, I was charged an additional $720.00. Do not try and call Gold's as they will not return phone calls I have called a multitude of times, written letters , etc and they do not respond. They are a scam and have unethical business practices. Stay as far from this gym as possible Update: May 20th, was just charged another $240.00 today!!! read more

This is a great gym, but to stop your membership, it's like giving your 1st born male child! People that work there are great but it appears that the higher ups in the gym have lost touch and will continue to lose members, due to the collection company and contracts I would stay far away. Just my 2 cents read more

I've been utilizing this facility for the last 4 months. The entire staff is extremely friendly; however, I have to take a moment to highlight Brittany. She consistently greets every client with a smile and has an exemplary attitude. The facility has a broad range of equipment and offers a myriad of classes to its members. As such, I highly recommend this gym! read more

Been going to this gym with a guest pass for almost a week and I gotta say overall I absolutely love it every equipments are working perfectly fine and if there is something wrong they have a paper on the machine saying something like broken or not useable didn't read it but, did see a guy putting them on to inform any people wanted to use the equipments. Bathrooms are clean and the studios are in great use, as well as the cardio equipments the only negative side is the hours doing the weekends but doesn't kill just get to the gym a little earlier and you'll be satisfied would definitely recommend if your in the area to go grab a guest pass and see for yourself. read more
