Occasionally crowded but it’s only a sign of its usefulness. The machines and gear here are the most complete in town of all the sister gyms. The staff is friendly and alert the gym is clean, the lockers are nice and the bathroom is pristine.

Thanks guys, first day back at the gym after an injury.

I took it really slow and easy, breathing while I moved, enjoying the atmosphere, and feeling healthier and better and stronger, even as we speak !!

I used to go to this gym before exploring other options around Santa Barbara, but after hearing about the recent remodel, my friend and I had to stop by. We were then greeted by David L., whom provided excellent customer service and a great tour of the upgraded facilities. The gym has everything you need for both strength training and cardio.

The switch was easy. Since then (Jan 2025), it’s been a success for my fitness goals and routine.

I’m excited to continue training at the newly established EōS Fitness!

Super friendly staff. The membership crew Josh and Joe were friendly and helpful with a concern of mine. Isaac, the training team manager and trainer himself, was super kind thorough and knowledgeable. Accommodating and understanding of my physical restrictions which showed his experience
The equipment is quality and the environment is great! Nice to find a solid gym to join after my move to SB, especially with how many choices there are

I won't base the review on my experience. It's a good gym regardless of the fact that a place called a "gymnasium" from the Greek root "Gumnos" meaning 'Naked' approached me and told me to put a shirt on while working out. To which I replied that I wished to cancel my membership. The unnamed employee responded somewhat indignantly and seemed slightly flustered yet also behaved admirably despite the situation and my abrupt demeanor.
Halle Perkins is a delightful and over qualified trainer. You wouldn't be mispending your money booking personal sessions with her. Isaac Everett is also extremely knowledgeable and dedicated. If you decide to go with this gym. Definitely ask him about your best options for maximizing you experience and optimizing your fitness. -Nicholas Hamilton

I signed up for the free week online to see if I’d like to get a membership, the woman at the front desk was very passive aggressive and rude, “are you ACTUALLY interested in getting a membership here?”, I am a power lifter originally from Chicago and just moved here. She ended up not letting me in and I went to the uptown location instead, where the young lady at the front was very kind and accommodating and switched over my free week pass! It was a nice experience because the first one was pretty horrible.

This gym is definitely top notch, great equipment great atmosphere, cleanliness, everything you would need for weight lifting.

I’ve been a Golds Gym member off and on for 15 years. I’ve joined twice and had to cancel twice, once for relocation second for injury.
Golds Gym as a whole is definitely frustrating. Be prepared for sneaky payments being charged and difficulty canceling your membership. Doesn’t matter what deal they offer you, you’re gonna get “sneaky” charges to your credit card.
The first time I had to cancel, it was terrible. This women made it so difficult for me. But the second time wasn’t bad.

So if your going to join, or you have a membership and you need assistance in 2025 downtown sb, talk to Cory or Josh, both of them were super cool and helpful, they’ll make sure your taken care of.

To be clear this is a positive review, there is no better gym in SB. The positive experience I had from the current staff, specifically Corey, is the reason for this review. I definitely will be returning and would suggest this gym to anyone.

Been going here sincere 1980. Great gym, goes through changes like anything else but reasonable prices, cleanliness and friendliness of staff remain consistent. Especially love the new upgrade it's spacious, loads of new equipment, love they have dumbbells at 2 1/5 pounds increments. With the new there are NO classes so if that's your thing you won't like it much.

Pros:
- Three locations to choose from
- The downtown location has a new leg room with great glute-targeting equipment
- Friendly staff

Cons:
If the showers are clean, go play the lottery
You'd think keeping paper towels, cloth towels, soap, etc would be an expectation that is obvious enough that it would be fully incorporated into the workflow of staff but nope.

If you see a custodian, don't bother learning their name. They'll be gone in three months once they learn that it's not worth the pay. Gold's will conduct survey after survey and analyze the results as if it is some sort of complex differential equation but the facts are right in front of their face--either pay custodial wages that keep them there and working diligently or lower the monthly fee. They're aware of the issues and a solution is always 'in the works'.

Interesting anecdote: I once told the current GM (of all three SB-area Gold's) about how so much soap scum and mineral deposits had built up that it was beginning to crystallize on the floor and I was told "Do you ever have anything positive to say?" Let that give you an idea of what you're dealing with in terms of leadership. I could give you several examples but that speaks for itself.

The franchise owners are simply riding the wave of brand recognition and the reality is enough people will still keep enrolling because of that recognition to cover most expenses. They understand human behavior to the extent that, even if there isn't much of a semblance pride in what they offer, there is a clear sense of cost minimization. They also know people well enough to not even bother pretending to run a clean well-kept gym for the "New Years Resolutionists" at the beginning of the year.

When 24-hour Fitness, their closest competitor infamous for its lack of cleanliness, closed, Gold's breathed a sigh of relief knowing that people would have one less option and so members would have to deal with their inability to run a business with very predictable expenses. Thus, anything that can delayed or avoided (e.g., fixing machines in a timely manner) will be delayed or avoided with a friendly smile letting you know that that change is happening soon.

I personally switched to AC4. No more dealing with 7pm closing times on weekends (you know, the days where you have more time to work out) in addition to the other issues listed above.

Avoid This Gym at All Costs – Terrible Customer Service!

I had an unbelievably frustrating experience at Gold’s Gym in downtown Santa Barbara. I walked in just to ask a simple question about their membership options, but instead of a straightforward answer, they forced me to fill out a long form just to get basic information. I made it clear that I wasn’t comfortable providing all my personal details—I just wanted to know their membership plans.

To make things worse, the so-called “manager” (who looked way too young and inexperienced to be in charge) flat-out refused to give me any information. Even after I pointed out that the details were already listed on their own website, they still wouldn’t cooperate. Their complete lack of professionalism and common sense cost them three memberships because I had planned to sign up two of my employees as well.

If this is how they treat potential customers, I can’t imagine how they treat actual members. Gold’s Gym is officially off my list forever. If you value your time and expect even basic customer service, do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

Worst gym. Some lady manager banned me a few years ago from this place for dropping 115 pound dumbbells. I gently set them down as much as I could because I don’t want to hurt myself and she hit me with the ban lol. I asked her how I should put them down and to show me. She just proceeded to ban me. It’s kinda sad to say this gym represents Gold’s Gym in anyway. Embarrassment

I signed up for a platinum membership online for the Santa Barbara downtown location. One of the advertised features of the platinum membership was a guest pass. When tried to use it I was told the Santa Barbara downtown location doesn't accept guest passes, even though their location's website says it does (see the attached screenshots). I showed the manager proof and he said something along the lines of it being false advertising. Do not recommend.

Used to be a regular member here years ago (pre-covid) and thought about re-joining again. So I set up an appointment tonite at 7 pm and drove out to this location, and was not told on the phone that I had to fill out a waiver and share ALL my personal information for just "sampling this gym". Was only offered 1 free workout on the phone, and not offered the 7 day trial either (per the GG website). I had to ask for it. As I began to fill out the electronic waiver, the salesperson was standing aggressively, with his legs wide apart (lol), not smiling, and not very customer service friendly; Was kind of intimidating to say the least.

Wasn't comfortable sharing all my personal info on a waiver, so I decided to leave, and the sales person didn't say a word, say goodbye, or even care. Was not a friendly experience

And after leaving, and then reading some of the recent negative reviews here, decided I'll try sampling and joining a different gym. From what I could see, this Golds Gym facility looks great though!

(In fairness, the front desk staff did greet me, upon walking in)

Website says 7 day free trial with only stipulation being: "not valid if you have visited within the past 6 months".

Upon driving through the so-called "catastrophic rains" of Feb 2024. Front desk says the trial is not valid to people that aren't residents of Santa Barbara.

If that's the case, then add a disclaimer on your website saying that... Don't make people drive through the rain to find that out.

Very poor experience. Will never ever use gold's gym and never recommend it to anyone who values honesty and transparency.

Staff here sucks and is super rude. Two male employees denied me when I tried to use 7 day free pass, saying I was just trying to get a free workout in and wasn’t interested in joining. After explaining I would be back in SB for good after 3 months at school, they said I could not join as I wouldn’t be here, even though I said I would join as soon as I was back if enjoyed my free trial. Would highly recommend joining Fitness19 instead, much cheaper, nicer employees, and they actually allow you to use the free trial:)

Hasn't changed much in 25 years. Good no-frills gym, pretty well equipped for cardio upstairs, and weight training downstairs.
DB's go to 125 lbs.

Bummer that they did not open on time 10/11/23. Many people waiting. Do better! It's 2023, intall remote door locks or something. Opening on time is most important for those of us there at 5:00 AM.

10/11/23 10:00 a.m. update: management reached out to me to apologize for late opening, I accept. Added a star back for responsiveness.

Absolutely awful sign up experience. The gym is nasty and not clean. The instructors are not teaching in a safe way. And worst of all, the sales and management staff are super rude and use a bait and switch tactic to get you to sign up. And if that's not bad enough, if you complain and the manager finds out who you are, she will tattle on you to your employer. CHILDISH.

I had a very great experience with the staff there. I was visiting Santa Barbara for a wedding and needed a gym for while I was there since I’m competing in my first NPC show in 2 weeks.

Very disappointed in the staff. To summarize the situation: I walked in requesting a three day free trial, and Lauren persuaded me to "try the gym for 1 month for just 1 dollar." She guaranteed me that there would be no other fees or charges if I canceled within a month of signing the contract. A month later, I decide that I do not wish to continue my membership, but I was being charged a $60 fee even though I followed her exact instructions. After speaking with multiple people about my situation, all I received was, "I am sorry about your money loss, but there is nothing we can do about that. Why don't we give you another month for free to make it better?" I understand it's a business here, but I didn't expect to be lied and conned to. On top of that, the gym is crowded and not very clean; definitely not worth $60 a month. Would not recommend anybody to join this gym.

NO PARKING, rude staff, old building and equipment.
For starters, get ready to park 20 minutes away from where the gym actually is, and I wish I was exaggerating.
Blond male staff with a comb over is an absolute tool with no empathy; pretty much told me to upgrade my membership or hit the road. They did absolutely nothing to create a value proposition of why I should upgrade my current gold’s membership to 3x the cost for less amenities and a building that smells like mold while getting attitude.
Went over to the other location that is closer to Goleta and had a real Gold’s Gym experience with friendly, knowledge staff that gave me their time and made me want to upgrade my membership.

I visited this gym once as part of my hotel stay next door. I was asked to provide phone / email info to use the gym and opted out of any marketing communication. Since then, I have been bombarded with text messages several times during the week advertising this gym … with no option to opt out, stop the messages, etc. I called the gym and the staff members had no idea how to resolve the issue other than replying “Stop” to the message … which didn’t work. On top of all of this, the texts come from different numbers … which makes it impossible to stop these annoying messages.

This business practice is unacceptable, unlawful, and quite frankly, unethical. Don’t give this gym your contact details.

Classic gym scheme. Super hard to cancel, management and sales at this place has no idea what they are doing. Was told it was a dollar for a free month and then got billed the full amount in 11 days. Then the sales guy Josh said that he told me it was a 14 day trial so that's why I got billed. Josh did not tell me this when I was signing up. Decent gym, everything kind of packed into one space, but the main problem is the clueless management. They need a new system.

People are nice, just make sure you clean any equipment BEFORE using it!

The upstairs area is nice with plenty of benches and weights. The downstairs is lacking, not enough squat racks there is ALWAYS someone on it. I have come to this location anywhere from 7am to 8pm so its not a specific time window. A good amount of the equipment had pieces broken or worn down lettering so you cant see the weight. they are very outdated compared to other locations. Ultimately they need more/better equipment, its really disappointing to pay for a membership and have to leave early because of the lines to use equipment.

This is a decent gym - two floors with lots of equipment. The staff seemed nice as well! The biggest issue I had was that the treadmills are on the second floor and heat rises. Most gyms have something in place to control the temperature but the day that I went it was a balmy 76 degrees in the cardio area and was not pleasant to run/work out in. Even if they had windows that would open to let the fresh air in that would be nice. Either way, the temperature was just way too hot to get a good workout in. I visited this location once and then went to Goleta which was much better.

Several machines are half broken. The upstairs is hot and stuffy and the fountain there has been broken for as long as I can remember.

General manager was very accommodating and professional to our situation. The gym is a little on the smaller side but it has everything you need.

EDIT: We had not realized there was a whole upstairs area haha. The gym is great and the size of it seems more reasonable now!

Love this place. See staff cleaning the gym often and are very friendly. Only with would be for more squat racks but its understandable due to the limited space

This is my 2nd home. Love downtown and Uptown gym in Santa Barbara. Community is strong at these gyms. Great equipment. Not overcrowded.

I enjoy the workout classes here. What I don't understand is why this gym has decided to ignore the county-wide mask mandate. ~90% of everyone at the gym chooses to go mask-less, and the explanation is this is because of a decision that corporate made. All I want is for this pandemic to be over so I can be as comfortable not wearing my mask as all the bros at the gym currently are. It seems like such a simple rule to follow and I don't understand why it isn't being enforced.

This gym has buisness practices that will ruin your credit...they charged for a full year membership before my first month while.
i was in a trial.peroid ..after two months i had to cancel due to a death in family because of the Pandemic and needed to be in Florida to deal with family affairs.

Every other company I had services with was understanding due to this once in a 100 year world wide health disaster.

They still demanded I pay for a full year membership even though there were no Golds Gym in WestPalm Florida and I only used the gym for two months .

The said I can go online and cancel which I did but then I was contacted by a collections agent company threatening me to ruin my credit report unless I pay them for a full year membership ship.

This company has no soul and will make you pay for services they can't provide no matter what your circumstances because of a contract designed by a monster .

I'm very happy at this gym, it's very clean, has all the equipment I could ask for and the staff is very friendly and attentive. Ignore the few bad reviews because this location of gold's is a great gym and I can say that i definitely see myself here as a member for many more years.

I had been under the impression my account had been closed for a long time. When I called to find out why my account was being wrongfully charged and how I could possible get a refund the receptionist Lindsey blamed me and asked why I dont check my account more often. This is the worst customer service imaginable. Cindy at the uptown location was able to get my account closed and resolve the situation in less than 7 minutes

Don’t sign a contract with this gym. They will take every opportunity they have to inconvenience you and use predatory practices. My husband was unable to cancel our account while the gym was closed due to the Pandemic in 2020. He called every phone number and none of the lines were answered. We made every attempt to cancel our contract correctly and we were blocked at every turn by Gold’s Gym predatory practices. My husband cancelled his contract via his credit card because it was the only option available to us. Only my husbands credit card was our payment method on our contract. We had a family membership so they continued to charge for my membership then sent my account to collection. I truly regret ever going to Gold’s Gym and strongly recommend staying away.
