Gym isn't bad, I've worked out here for years. It has everything you need. My problem with the gym is shady business practices. I pay every year up-front for the year, I never wanted them to have my bank account or debit/credit card info. Two years ago I paid by check(huge mistake) last year, a few weeks before my renewal date I asked for a price for the next year. I dropped off payment a few days before that date, and thought everything was good. On my renewal date I see an addition charge on my account from golds. They actually used the routing # off my check and charged me without approval. When I approached the manager to ask about this, he saId it was apart of my yearly fee ( even though I never agreed or gave approval). I let it go, and continued to use the gym. Today, a year later, the same exact thing has happened! DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY OF YOUR ACCOUNT INFO!! read more

Be sure to read the fine print if you want personal training. Buyer beware... read more

I go to this location when I'm home for vacation. Their customer service is really good - they give me week or day passes without protest. I definitely give them 5 stars in that regard. The quality of the facilities, not quite as high. There are things to like here. Depending on what you do at the gym, they have a large amount of cardio equipment, a pool, and a workable free weights section. They have round weights, which I'm always a fan of. The gym and locker rooms are both generally pretty clean. For the most part, equipment is in good shape. One big issue I have here is the lack of collars for the barbells. I don't know if they're hiding or completely missing, but despite having about 10 barbell-based pieces of equipment, I could only find two sets of collars. This poses a huge safety risk. I don't know that this is a good thing, but I was always able to get one of those sets of collars....because the other gym patrons just didn't use them. That's not good. Also, the barbells are very rusty, making it harder to get weights/collars on and off than should be. Its a good gym for the money, and I don't mind going here when I'm in town - but there's definitely room for improvement. read more

I recently joined Gold's Gym and go to three of their locations regularly. This one is the closest to home. It is rather large with plenty of equipment available. They don't have some of the newer equipment like other Gold's Gyms, but it is still easy to get a variety of workouts in. The pool is a nice feature that I use sometimes. The locker rooms are large and spacious. The staff is always welcoming and helpful. The only complaint is that it feels dirtier than other locations. The building was originally something else, so that could be why. You can clean the equipment before each use, so it is not too bad. I like this location a lot still, and look forward to the upcoming expansion. read more

So I am battling breast cancer. Six rounds of chemo, 20 rounds of radiation & medical bills to go with it. I pay $19.95 a month for a gym membership. I cannot utilize any gym right now. I had to supply a letter of my health issue to ABC financial to terminate my membership. Here is the response:We have received your request to cancel your membership. At this time, your account has been set up on a pending cancel status. Before your account can be cancelled, you are responsible for a 30 day written request (this has been fulfilled via your email) andany payments that fall within that time period. Your final payment will draft on 03/24/2019. You will have club access until 04/23/2019. So I am pending, not officially terminated. There drafting my money out of my account and are telling me, I have access to a gym that because of my health I cannot use. If you acquire an illness and are too sick to use the facility....your are just plain SOOL. I recommend not to join a facility, that you are just a number & that your money is more important. read more

Golds Gym in Exeter is a pretty good place to get a sweat on. As a member for three years, I can attest to a few previously made points here. The gym does have a wide variety of workout gear. The pool is great, and the staff is helpful and knowledgeable. There's almost always a trainer on staff to help you out. Some of the gear is getting aged. There's a few bikes with rust, and a few treadmills squeek like hell when you're running hard. The one I was on earlier today wobbled so I abandoned ship and claimed another. The issue with the collars is... worth noting, I guess, but at the same time very trivial. Unlike Golds Gym in Wyomissing, this one has plates that fit just right onto the bars. Unless your stabilizer muscles are way under-trained, you should have no issue repping out your sets without risk or fear of dropping plates and flipping bars. Also, their dumbbell selection goes from 5lb to 150lb and there's ample quantities out there that you typically don't need to fight for them. The locker room is generally clean, though the heaping trash cans could use an emptying more frequently. Overall I'm a fan based purely on progress. The people are nice, the location is easily accessible, the fees are not outrageous and the results are real. They may need to spend some money coming up to replace some of the rusted gear because that's a real concern and a total P.I.T.A. when it comes to loading/unloading weight, but it's not enough to drop its rating, to turn away potential members or to abandon ship. The manager there is pretty capable and a very nice guy. If you have kids, there is a separate room with toys where your kids and wait and play while you work out. I can't really elaborate on the room because I don't have kids, and I'm not about to scout it out. There's just no way to do that without explanation and a Megan's Law website inquiry. :/ I'd also like to notice that as far as whoring themselves out with merch; there is maybe one rack up front (newly added) with a few shirts on it. Otherwise, it's your dads gym. Stop in and talk to folk. It's a pretty down to earth place, and you get folk from all walks of live and experience there. Don't ever be afraid to ask someone for advice or help! read more

I am angry, full disclosure, at the immaturity of this facility. I have enjoyed many raquetball matches, however this past Saturday evening, I was fooled. Golds has th audacity to close at not 10, 9, or 8pm, but an almost unforgivable 7pm! What sort of twisted, anti-societal soul decides to keep the gym open later on the weekdays?! I am very, very frustrated with the gym as a whole. Will be returning, but reluctantly. read more

Kind of an embarrassment to golds gyms... one squat rack (which usually has some top heavy dude curling in it) but still has two smith machines?! Also, I dont really get the women's only section. Its a gym, not a bathroom. read more

Real bad experience. Very high pressure sales environment. Lengthy confusing contract. Locker room is filthy and you expect to have your stuff stolen. Then, they turn your phone number over to a third party personal training group who take snake oil sales to a whole new level. I didnt want the pt from the start and had a real tough time getting out of it. Stay away from this gym. read more

The gym offers a great variety of old equipment and a few new ones. They also offer a great couch in the front for your seating pleasure, you just have to overlook the black duct tape all over it. There are heavy dumb bells and bar bells that are broken so you have to be very careful not to break your wrist. The gym needs a good cleaning, dust everywhere. If you like reading there are tons of "Do Not Signs" all over gym of what is forbidden. However those rules only apply to some members not all. They have recycling bins but they don't actually recycle. Depending on the day staff may or may not acknowledge you (not all employees). Tried to add a member it was not worth it, way too expensive ( $45 bucks a month). They have a pool.... read more

Older equipment though there is a variety of machines. I'm just not sure it's worth the cost every month for older equipment.

Way too many people for a limited space. Only 1 squat rack, 3 smith machines and no room to do any power lifts. You continuously have to wait for the older equipment. Oh, and avoid the out of shape head personal trainer. He takes clients through nonsensical workouts with no structure and awful form. I know this because my mom went to him and being an NSCA PT, I was appalled at what I learned and told her to quit. Go to Valhalla or the Warhouse gym down the road. read more
