Golds gym is always a good spot to hit the weights. However there is a right time if you're trying…read moreto get in and out and short on time. From my personal experience after 3pm -9pm is the most packed times for this location. Before 1pm you should be good considering everyone is at school / work & those that are going after 9pm should be set as well because people do wake up early in the mornings so they have to sleep early. So the gym should be good at that time as well. As far as equipment goes they constantly keep up with broken down equipment it never really stays out of order for more than a few days if the machine is out of order or up for maintenance. This gym is really quick about turn around time for stuff like that compared to other gyms that let their members suffer by not repairing equipment fast enough. Only down side I would say to this gym is not enough 45lb plates. It's a pain to have to search for the plates but other than that the dumbbells go up to 150lbs which is great considering most commercial gyms cap out at 100lbs. The sauna is great too and not tiny so don't worry about having to be super close to someone in there. The gym stays clean and I will continue to come here. Thanks Golds for keeping such an awesome gym for all. ** ALSO ** this gym is service animal friendly !

I want to be clear that the staff members I spoke with were nice, but the way this billing…read moresituation was handled feels completely unethical. I canceled our gym membership in December 2024 because of a health diagnosis. In July 2025, I noticed I was still being charged a monthly membership fee. I called, left a message, and when I received a call back, I explained the situation and was reassured that I would be refunded. Now it is May 2026, and I found out I had continued to be charged the entire time, along with an additional $50 membership fee. These charges also caused overdraft fees, which made the situation even worse. I went into the gym today, explained everything again, and even shared the voicemail showing that I had already addressed this months ago. Instead of refunding me from the original cancellation date in December 2024, they are only offering to refund me from the July phone conversation forward. The staff may be kind, but the ethics behind this are seriously concerning. It is not my fault there was internal miscommunication, and I should not have continued to be charged after canceling, especially for medical reasons. I am now waiting to see if the refund is actually processed.

Full disclosure I work out here but do not train with EJ…read more This review is focused on the gym itself and its owner. I really enjoy working out here because it is clean and never crowded. The culture is welcoming, supportive, and encouraging; EJ is easy to relate to and while he isn't my trainer or coach, I feel safe working out there because he still keeps an eye out for everyone there. I've observed EJ with a number of his clients, and it's easy to see that he genuinely cares about what he does and who he is working with. He seems to be able to get the best out of clients of all ages--both younger athletes looking to "improve their game" and those of us who are young at heart who are trying to get back in shape or just maintain. Highly recommend.

Overall Rating: (4/5)…read more Having grown up in gyms, trained for over 20 years, and worked as a personal trainer for over 15--including the same Gold's Gym franchise that this used to belong to--I understand why some long-time members are frustrated with the culture shift after EōS bought out the old Gold's. However, judging it purely on what it offers today, I'd classify this as a higher-end, upper-tier commercial facility that easily earns 4 stars. The Pros: Top-Tier Equipment & Serious Lifting Setup *Free Weights & Specialty Equipment: It's a massive space stocked mostly with Life Fitness and Hammer Strength machines, with dumbbells topping out at a heavy 150 lbs. They also feature sought-after specialty pieces like a belt squat machine and multiple hip thrust stations. *Powerlifting Support: Plenty of Olympic platforms and squat racks, making it an exceptional setup for heavy compound training. *Outdoor Turf Area: Includes sleds, slam balls, racks, and stretching gear for dynamic functional training. *Decent Morning Vibe: The 5 AM crowd consists mostly of dedicated members focused on their workouts. While some socialize between sets, you rarely deal with people hogging machines or sitting around on their phones endlessly. *Staff & Perks: Friendly, consistent front-desk staff who greet you on the way in and out. Perks include HIIT classes, a recovery room, sauna, generic pop music overhead, and multiple TVs running ESPN and other shows.  *Great Price: At around $30/month (with potentially cheaper base tiers), the value for a high-end commercial setup of this size is hard to beat. The Minor Drawbacks *Peak Station Congestion: The cable section is extremely popular--even at 5 AM every pulley can be taken. Fortunately, there are enough alternative machines that you can easily pivot while waiting. The free bench area near the dumbbells is also bolted down fairly close together, making it tight when busy. *Restroom Maintenance & Layout: One toilet stall seems out of order fairly often (there are 4 stalls), and one of the stall's door opens inward, making it awkward and cramped to exit and it drives me nuts. (I haven't used the showers or sauna). *General Maintenance: You'll see the occasional out-of-order tag, and dumbbells aren't always re-racked in the exact right order--though it's far better than gyms where weights are scattered randomly across the floor. Timing & Traffic: At 5 AM, the floor is active, respectful, and manageable. Etiquette is solid across a diverse age mix. Parking and floor space are smooth early on, though both likely get tight during peak evening hours. Final Verdict: There's nothing here that completely blows me away, but there's also nothing that frustrates me enough to make me stop coming. For the price point, it delivers a higher-tier commercial gym experience that easily covers everything a serious lifter needs.

I've been coming to this gym for over 3 years now. This gym was originally a Gold's Gym before it…read morewas bought out by EoS. I will say that there has been a definite decline in some areas since EoS took over. For one, the bathrooms are not as well maintained--there's always at least one clogged sink and I find the stalls dirty more frequently than I did before. Alongside the bathroom issues, I feel like the free weights are always missing and there's a lack of mats in the turf area, even if not many people are using them. There's also been replacements of maintenance things around the gym (such as various product dispensers) that feel cheaper than they were before when it was Gold's. With all this being said, I'd still say that this a nice gym overall. There's a good amount of equipment, a separate turf area, a sauna, various fitness classes offered, and massage chairs. I enjoy coming here and will continue to do so, but I do miss when it was a Gold's.
