The time on hold waiting for a manager

I went to sign up for the free week and let me tell you the sign up team are high pressure jerks who told me I wasn't worth their time because I wanted to use the gym before signing up. I got to use 5 of my 7 days because that's what the sales guy said I would get. Which was fine. Then the sales guy goes from sale guy to the cool guy flirting with a girl . On day 3. I used the pool which was in the high 80s low 90s and tried to use the whirlpool which for 3 days of the 5 days cold. I mean ice cold. I asked the sales man who decided I wasn't worth his time about it on day 2 which he said yea whatever I'll get right on that. I will say that the change room had a good collection of broken sinks with yellow caution tape on them. The porter who cleaned the place kept it clean. That guy was working. The pool which was way too hot was basically a chlorine bath every day I used to it felt like they had just added the shock tablet on it but yet it still was cloudy. The last straw is the fact I called to talk to the gm about it. After I have received a call every day since my 5 of 7 day pass ended from the same sale guy. I have been on hold for 18 mins because he is to busy and I should call back tomorrow at 1030. These guy don't want your business unless you sign up on the first day.

Grip twisted and coming off.

Rather than fixing their gym, they enforce made up arbitrary rules on loyal customers. MARTIN threatened to terminate my membership, and condescendingly said I pay less than a dollar a month, because I gave him feedback about fixing something that has been broken for months. This was because of my foot attire by the way. I've been there for years and it's the first I've heard of this requirement. There are no signs or agreements within the contract, so it came across as a power trip. Anyway, since they have an eye for sandals, here's how they keep up their gym. Enjoy the pics. You're welcome for doing your job management. Also, your chair is missing from your theatre room. It's probably in the managers office. Also, the other employees there were more than happy to assist me in sharing any problems I had once I mentioned Martin. Seems this guy has a theme going.

Body combat class

I have memberships in multiple gyms because I love options and I'm picky about group classes. This gym is one of my favorites. What do I do here: I mostly take classes, especially body pump, because they're are well structured. I know exactly what to do and always have equipment. All my instructors are TOP stars ( Sandy & Will for pump, Cleo for Zumba, and other instructors that come & go are awesome too) Result : Attending Sandy's classes regularly transferred my body from average to fit. Group classes also gives me dopamine for entire day!!! Staff members outside of Instructors: Welcoming & friendly , keep it up! Cleanliness: I approve, most of the time it's in good shape. Thank you. Complain: I don't get update if classes are changed or canceled . So I would drive all the way for nothing. I get a real time notification if classes are changed with LA Fitness. Gold gym needs to catch up on their apps or schedule updates online.

Cloudy pool water!

Well signed up for the pool mostly and today I'd say today the water was so bad! Very cloudy floor of pool has dirt. Hope the maintenance gets better!! Could be a health issue.

Do they accept Silver sneakers?

Hi Jin! We do! Stop by and we can give you a tour of the facility and answer any additional questions you may have!

I have vip guest on weekends is it possible to bring my 15 year old nephew he's playing football for Chaffey highschool?

Thank you for inquiring, a guest must be 18yrs of age. However your nephew can be a member, a member can be 13 yrs old and older. We have some incredible offers to get him started for as low as $1.

Do you guys have a sauna room?

It's listed as an amenity on the location website. Personally, I have only noticed the indoor pool… 

I am thinking about joining with my 13‐year-old. Is there anything he can do, on his own, without my supervision? I would still be in the gym ... but we would both like to be able to do our own thing.

Yes. There are many cardio machines that he can use by himself. Also, there are many nautical machines he can use safely as well. Tell him not to be intimidated by all the people. The members here are helpful if he would have any questions

Do you have a free day to see if you like the gym and how much is a membership per month?

Hi! We do! Please visit join.goldsgymsocal.com for more information!

Hi Sandra! Kid's Club has not yet reopened.

Is the gym indoor or outdoor?

Interesting reviews...I've never had any of these issues. I've been a member at several different…read moregyms over the past twenty years. You are going to spend more money and have more issues at another gym. Trust. The pregnant manager goes around and sanitizes and vacuums--that's not going to happen at other gyms. Staff is super nice and friendly. The gym does run its A/C. Thank you for not being cheap because I don't know who wants to workout in a hot and stinky gym. Members keep to themselves--reasons why I have left other gyms. I'm giving it a 5 (but really a 4.5). I wish they had more/better equipment. They really need machines similar to Gold's Gym. Gold's has more leg machines but their stuff is always broken lol. Fit 19 has some repetitive and hardly-used equipment. I love that you can go into the studio and access all the kettlebells/weights/bars/mats This is usually restricted in other gyms. They often do not let you use weights in the studios at other places. The turf area is nice as well and is always kept clean and organized. People don't leave weights all around the gym--like at other gyms. The equipment is rarely broken like at other gyms with higher price points. You'll be lucky if LA Fitness' cardio machines are working. The spin bike room is so nice compared to other gyms as well. There's a lot more bikes compared to other spin rooms. All in all, you get what you pay for and in my opinion, I'm getting more than what I pay for--$10 a month. It's not a high-fees micro-managed establishment like most lower priced gyms.

I went in to try out the facilities using a 3-day pass, but they refused to honor it and told me I…read morehad to pay for a day pass if I wanted to work out. Obviously, I refused to pay and decided to leave instead. The employee who assisted me wasn't terribly rude, but they were very indifferent and had zero customer service skills. Also, after reading other reviews about people having issues with unfair cancellation fees, I'm honestly glad things turned out this way because it saved me from making the mistake of signing up here. I do not recommend this place at all.

I have been with this studio for over a year. My experience became increasingly uncomfortable over…read moretime due to the owner, Stephanie. One day, I arrived late because of traffic, and Stephanie addressed me in a sharp, confrontational tone. From that point on, Stephanie consistently avoided speaking to me while engaging with other members, which created an unwelcoming atmosphere. Despite this, I continued attending in order to finish the classes I had already paid for. About a month later, Stephanie confronted me in the middle of a workout with all other members present. This was not only uncomfortable but also highly inappropriate. Later that same day, Stephanie texted me saying it would be best if I left the studio and refunded my remaining classes minus a processing fee. When I asked about the processing fee, she never responded. I ended up disputing this fee with my credit card company and it was refunded to me. I'm sharing my experience so others can be aware of how concerns and interactions may be handled by Stephanie. While the workouts themselves were fine, Stephanie's unprofessional behavior and lack of communication are a glaring example of how this business is run. I do not believe I am the first person to have this type of experience based on other reviews.

I check-in here a lot because it is my local gym…read more.. The restrooms haven't got any better and the locker rooms need to be updated SERIOUSLY LA Fitness have such nicer facilities that it's almost worth it for me to drive up to the one off of the 210 Fwy. This one does have an indoor track but a lot of the equipment gets broken and it takes a while for it to be replaced or fixed. Some of the rubber handles on the weights are ripped or barely hanging on. On the LAT Pulls they no longer have the little 'add on' weights and on many of the weights the cords are missing from the pin. The staff are friendly when you walk in though so for THAT they'll get the additional 3rd star. Respectfully Reviewed

We had a scare a few months ago in November when the LA Fitness Corporate announced this location was to be closed down but just before that actually happened this location received exciting new that not only they were going to stay open but will be getting a 2.5 million dollar upgrade and renovation!! Wonderful news for us LA Fitness "gym rats"! Maybe some day, some one in corporate will update the Yelp listing to LA Fitness from Esporta Fitness (like they did for the La Habra location / my weekend gym).
