This franchise uses a third party billing system called peak payment solutions to extract money…read morefrom their members. Even if you are not under any sort of contract or commitment they will not allow you to cancel your membership directly. You are instead instructed to address it with the billing company. This makes it next to impossible to cancel the membership, so your only course of action is to simply stop paying them. Then Peak payment solutions will immediately start charging you late fees and will start threatening collections and calling relentlessly within a week of a missed payment. It is illegal to try to extort payment out of people, who are under zero contractual commitment to pay you, by threatening collection.

I'm very grateful that as a senior my insurance covers a membership at Golds Patton Avenue. I…read moreactually lived near Venice Beach, CA and saw the original muscle men at work in the 1970-80's. Gold's has a spacious work out area (including a small private space for women). They have an incredible array of machines, from aerobics, (stairs, ladders, rowing, elliptical) to all the various free weights and equipment for targeted exercises by several brands. There is seldom a wait time to get on a machine. My favorite regular class is Yoga with Pharrell. There are a range of classes by type and fitness levels. A cross section of society makes up the clientele and they are serious about staying in shape. There is always parking and staff are friendly and helpful.

Small, clean gym with everything you need. The owner is helpful and nice- not a salesperson. I used…read moreto belong to Gold's gym but grew tired of the crowd. I never felt completely comfortable there. Since becoming a member at Oakley Fitness Center, I have learned proper lifting techniques and been given work out ideas to fit my goals (per my request.) The classes are small, and I don't feel judged which is quite refreshing. I have gone down a pants size since starting a few weeks ago, and I can feel my body getting stronger. I highly recommend trying boxing there! Best gym in Asheville as far as I am concerned.

I am a beginner to working out. On my first trip to the gym the owner John showed me around and…read moregave me some pointers on how to get started. Since joining I started going to the kickboxing class on Sunday's and enjoy the work out. The gym is very clean and has plenty to offer no matter what kind of workout you are looking for or what level you are at in your fitness journey.

This is a really nice gym that is less than a mile from I-40. Wish I had realized that earlier. I…read morewould have been stopping in more often on my way to Cherokee. The staff here is friendly, everything is super clean, and like most PFs, there is a ton of equipment. Aside from one thing! They only have four Smith machines. When I arrived, they were all taken. When one opened up, a couple hopped on it in an instant. If you're strength training, you need Smith machines and dumbbells. The dumbbell area is also a little smaller than most. Despite all that, this is still a great gym and highly recommended. And if you're just looking to maintain and stay fit and do cardio, you will love it.

Cons: Could be cleaner (look up), counter staff too busy chatting with each other or on their phones, ambient music often too loud, far too many folks sitting on machines at length texting.

Love, love, love this little spot. It's a wonderful combination of cardio and strength. My absolute…read morefavorite thing about Rebel Rowhouse is they really focus on alignment. That's so important to someone like me who is passionate about getting the most longevity with my body mechanics. It's not a show you once and then just push you to do it faster kind of place. It's a do it smart do it right. That alone deserves so much respect. The work outs are fun, the music is great, and not so loud I can't hear the instructor. Most impressively I feel my back muscles getting stronger like nothing has ever worked them before. I felt gains in my stamina and core strength within the first few classes.
