Look I have canceled my membership a month ago and I have been charged for cancellation fee and now I’m getting charged for the monthly fee. I have called the gym membership and asked for manager multiple times during the past month he told me he will refund the money and nothing happened so last week I called the gym again because instead of getting refund I was charged for monthly fee again then I was told that manager is on vacation for more than a week and there’s no one to do his job for him! What kind of management is that?! They literally took 100$ for cancellation fee and continue to charge me 40$ after every month!! I am furious right now and the fact that I cannot even talk to any higher authority is infuriating! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS GYM AT ALL!

I tried calling twice to see if there was a difference between this place and the one in Merrifield, VA (my gf and I switch places every week so we would like to go to a gold's gym here in alexandria as well), and whoever picked up the phone said "brb" and hung up on me. Twice. I think that's sort of rude.

The Gold gym is out of business now a days making new policies to charge the customers for the COIVD-19 fees and their are many hidden charges that they don’t tell me at the day of signing the contract.

I cancelled my membership long time ago , still charging me, I called , the person who answered the phone was very unprofessional, I don’t know how this kind of business exist. My rating should be negative star , they don’t even deserved 1 star.

I had a question regarding my bill information and stepped by the gym to ask and clear some concerns I had. Manager on duty seemed a little crabby πŸ¦€ - I had no chance to talk to her but heard her frustrated voice from the office.

The only person who helped me out was Edward Arnold - he listened to me and - figured it out, moreover saved me as a member, since I was about to cancel my membership after experiencing this negative vibe β€œin the air”.

To other managers - please be little open minded and respect everyone during this difficult time.

And thank you to Edward for helping me out.

5 starts to the manager Edward who helped me, other β€œmanager on duty” - please be more positive

Have a great holidays!

They don't honor guest pass even when told on the phone by their staff. Extremely unhappy with how management handled my concerns with charging two guest $40 to just use the gym once. I was told those two individuals can come into the gym and receive two guest passes. I was not informed about having them to be locals or any further details. Management can do a better job at training their staff to indicate those details. Management didn't even try to rectify the situation or help any type of way.

No longer corporate and franchise is raising prices on personal training. Good facilities, but too pricey now.

During Covid times we feel safe on the cardio level. Every other machine off, providing safe distance, plenty of hospital grade desinfectants, motion activated paper towels etc. Staff very friendly and helpful

Gym is small. Needs major renovations. Overcrowed during peak times. Most of the equipment is old, and when it breaks it takes them weeks (if not months) to replace it. For $39.99 a month it's overpriced. There are better gym options around town.

Traveling from out of town. Called to verify if they were a location that accepted gold’s memberships from out of state locations since I have the higher tier membership. Rudest customer service via phone I have ever had. Don’t answer the phone if it’s going to be a whole bunch of attitude.

It's a bit smaller than I'm used to but still has everything you need with incredible staff! The closing front desk and the AGM are incredible and have always been helpful! Even the GM called me the day after I joined and seems extremely helpful. Awesome gym! Give it a try!

This is the saddest gym I’ve been to. It is small so very little space to work with and between benches. They have five benches for the free weights lol. Old equipments. Split into two levels. Cardio downstairs. Weights upstairs. Go to the one on Glebe Rd instead. It’s much nicer and newer and great open layout. This looks like a converted garage...

It's a pretty good gym. Fairly clean and a decent assortment of workout equipment. There are two levels. The bottom level (entrance level) has the locker rooms and the cardio equipment (treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, stair masters, etc.). The second level has the free weights and machines. Dumbbells are usually racked accordingly, although occasionally people rack them in the wrong location. Not the largest gym, but definitely good and staff are always friendly!

It takes them forever to fix the steam-room. It’s not fair when you are paying money every month.

Typical a 1-4 of the cardio equipment are broken down ant any given time.

Personal trainers lay claim to the majority of the free space and police up equipment about half of the time.

Very disappointed. I’ve never given a business a bad review in my life. But their billing practices are beyond unethical and extremely deceptive. I’ve been a Gold's member for 12 years. And thanks to this particular gym, I will never step foot in another Gold's Gym. Be very careful if you are thinking of signing up here and especially careful if you’re signing up for personal training. The trainers are great. The management as well as corporate-Horrible.

switched from one Gold's gym to this one for convisence, live within walking distance of the gym. The gym itself is literally about 1/4 of the size as the other gym i went to, yet i pay $10 more a month for it. So off the bat, not a great start. As for the equipment, they do not have a lot of stuff but they do have everything you need, dumbbells go up to 150 pounds. they have a place to deadlift and bumper plates, but only one person can be on the platform at once and it takes up a squat rack up. if you do not live in one of the apartment complexes right behind the shopping plaza, you would be better off going somewhere else. Very convenient for me so I'll stick it out but if i move I will not think twice about ending my membership here.

Only reason I cane here was for a yoga class with a great instructor but they held me up to try and add some charges for the daycare which my kids were already signed up for and after being held up, the daycare lady waited all of 6 mins to take me out of class for my daughter who had stopped crying by the time I came down.

Small. Out dated. Over priced. Layout doesn't make sense. If more than 3 people in the weight area it feels crowded and no place to move around. The gym atmosphere/vibe is just terrible. Route 1 Golds is way better and it's cheaper. I went once to check it out and joined another club instead.

They have a ton of equipment but the way it is organized is nonsensical. There's no area to use the functional equipment. I worked out at an off peak time and it still managed to get relatively crowded. I came on a trial pass, the first day was fine. The second day I returned and had a less than impressive encounter with the general manager, whom was too wrapped up in a personal conversation to offer me any real answers to the questions I asked. This guy was so rude and unapproachable I left without further consideration of membership there. It's pretty unfortunate because this is the closest gym to me.
