    Taking away two stars here for the following reasons:…read more For one, the enrollment fee was more than it is at most places. It's $40/month after that, which is pretty pricey. I had L.A. Fitness for $9/month after having been with them for more than three years, but circumstances forced me to choose a gym here in Brownsville. Also took away another star because the basketball gym floor's always dusty or dirty in the evenings. The basketball court here is what really sealed the deal. But after those yoga or Zumba classes in the afternoon, no one usually wipes or mopes the floor until 10 or 11 p.m. (Sometimes it's closer to midnight, once they're about to close.) A couple of the yoga mats that were used during these classes go back up on the wall underneath the basket, with sweat stains, and it stinks. Also, if the nets rip, good luck having them replace it promptly. Really, it costs $2-3 to replace it. If you're having members pay $40/month, you could certainly afford to keep things in tip-top shape. Lots of soccer fans in the area. Sometimes they'll go onto the basketball court, set up cones and starting blasting away shots. Really annoying when you have to duck your head to avoid getting hit. Other than that, the facility's really good. Lots of the equipment is up-to-date. Hardly ever gets full, so you never have to wait in line behind for anything. Wi-fi's pretty good, too, if you're looking to stream music. (I forget if I was able to stream YouTube, though. Doubt it.) They also have a separate theater inside, decked out with treadmills and bikes, showing a different movie each day of the week on the big screen. Sweet feature. Enjoyed the pool. Showers are good. Locker rooms are kept clean. Pretty spacious. Clean your gym floors, make sure the rims have nets and ease up on the $40/month, and you'll get 5 stars from me, Gold's. (Oh, and make sure there's a "no soccer on the basketball court" policy instituted, please.)

    I loved working out at Gold's Gym, but then it changed. People are always hogging machines. They…read morewill place a backpack on it and walk off. Meanwhile, people who are there to work out can't because the machine is being saved. This kid was trying to kick my ass the other day, telling me he was going to call his dad to come kick my ass. I was like, "Dude, you are not using the machine !", "Yes. I am." ... It is the same thing all the time. People sit on a machine and zone out on TikTok, 30 to 40 minutes at a time, but Gold's Gym doesn't have a policy on that. They allow it, so we are done with Golds. I am sure they will be missing my $39.99 a month. :-) Well, more like $80 because my wife is leaving too. The adults in the room should speak up so Gold can set up a policy.

    Gold's Gym - Brownsville - Bathrooms are maintained clean as much as possible. Customers should learn how to clean after themselves especially later in the day.

    The class schedule on paper form does not reflect what is actually being done in class. There is a…read moreclass that is titled as Zumba, not Zumba Strong nor Zumba Toning; however, when you take the class you quickly find out it's not Zumba. It's more like (HIIT) High Intensity Interval training. When I brought my issue to the instructor she informed me that it was Zumba Strong. So I suggested that they inform the customers, like me who look at the schedule, drive to gym and gets a different class. The simplest thing to do would be to just change the class name on the schedule. So, the name has never changed it's still called Zumba and last week when I attended we spent almost the entire class doing kick boxing. The instructor gave the warm-up, then she stepped down and joined us and two other females got up center stage and gave us a class. I went along with it, thinking it would change up, but they continue with the kickboxing. I brought it up to the instructor again and she once again told me it was Zumba Strong. She thought I was a fool to believe this, maybe a few interjections, a few kick boxing moves, but an entire class. I think not. The instructor told me that if I had complaints to tell them upfront. I told her I would. I spoke to the district manager and he said, "he would speak to them about sticking to the schedule". I also mentioned to district manager, that one of the females that was doing the kick boxing got in my face and told me she was certified. That may very well be but her name and the other girls that are frequently teaching classes are not listed as the instructor. I also mentioned that these girls are focused on themselves and not the customers. They have a little clique of instructors for that class. So you could imagine they all didn't like my critique. So the following day, I went to the gym and nothing has changed. The class is still listed as Zumba and they have 3 to 4 instructors giving class. I will continue my membership only because there are three other Zumba instructors that are friendly and professional. I love their classes. Now, why just not adjust the name of the class on the schedule, stubborn maybe, or the instructor is not certified in Zumba Strong. I will not reveal the instructor's name, but there are cameras in the gym, I'm sure management is aware of what is going on and allowing it, well at least until someone gets hurt. MD

    They will try to push you to have a trainer and once you get a trainer, they don't train you…read moreproperly. I asked for a female trainer preferably, only saw her once, then I was switched out for another trainer r but she was pretty rude and gave me to a male trainer snd everytike id text him my availability it didn't work out for him only when he was avaible..

    Ima give the most honest review bout this gym from the good, bad, & ugly…read more Pros: beginner friendly, super clean & organized gym, decent environment. Cons: lacks newer machine for back, chest, & shoulders. having a beautiful mirror room that was probably the best part of this gym & is now only used my Zumba & employees after they finish their workout takes away so much from this gym because Trufit doesn't have it. Having this room now locked up I'd rather take my business right across the street to Trufit where they already do have it locked up. & yes I'd rather take my businesses to a gym that is messy, has dumbbells all over the place, & hardly ever has A/C but has way better machines & a whole lot more space. Not being open on Saturdays is the worst part about this gym & closing at 7 on Fridays when other gyms close much later. Ugly: for me, having a manager who wears skin tight tights to workout is so unprofessional & off setting. Someone that should set be the example & the standard for gym etiquette & dress code makes the gym such an awkward & unpleasant experience. This gym genuinely has so much potential to be a great gym but in the last 6 months since having this membership has genuinely made every month less & less enjoyable.

    Not sure who took over this gym, but wish I could give it zero stars cause giving even one star is…read moreputting it lightly. How you magically decide to change gym prices and honor the contract and discounts that were provided to me when I first joined is extremely disappointing. ME, MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS have all canceled our memberships. If you are looking for a great gym, then stay away from CRUNCH "SCAM" FITNESS
