Gold's Gym, North Hollywood CA

I love the gym the mood is great and everything but can you please not close until 10, make it at least till 12PM. I know lots of people who care about this problem too, we love the gym but please don't close up so early.

Small gym but has everything you need to get a good workout in.
Only problem is broken/missing equipment. It's been months since a handful of dumbbells have been missing and they are not planning on replacing them until they remodel, which isn't until April 2023 (4 months) from this review.

When I first got here, I was confused with the entrance but I realized that the entrance was at back. I love smaller gym, I enjoyed it so much even I worked out for one hour. It is not too far from LA valley college. I like this place because it's close to everything including trades Joe. The locker room is clean! I will return again this Sunday to workout more! Thank you golds gym NOHO to have me here

The equipment from this gym is pretty old, and barebones.

The norm for most gyms is to have a couple fly machines, where one can configure to both chest and rear delt flies. This place only has one fly machine, and it can only configure to chest flies.

When using dumbbells, you’ll get an abnormally unpleasant rust smell coming off your hands afterward thats like normal barbell smells but a little bit worse.

A lot of the numbers on the dumbbells are simply scratched off from years of use, looks like they haven’t been updated in decades, so sometimes you just aren’t able to tell what weight you’re picking up unless you count the individual plates on the dumbbell.

This gym is very close to where I live so it’s extremely convenient… but believe it or not I go to the Glendale one anyways because it has more equipment variety. I jokingly call this the “prison gym” to my friends compared to all the other ones I’ve been to but if the barebones style and look is what you’re okay with then this is a gym for you.

Staff is very friendly and courteous, will tend to your needs greet you everytime. The demographic of the gym on weekday nights are also generally pleasent people who aren’t annoying, overly flamboyant or equipment hoggers.

Hello, my name German. I’ve been coming by golds gym north Hollywood the past year out convenience of it being down the street of my workplace. With a full day's schedule and work schedule I found I can fit meaningful time for fitness is during lunch time. (45mins)
While my time there I payed attention to the operation of how this location is run,
Alexander Boagni (front desk manager) Meets and exceeds golds gym core values, along with his staff. I’m attracted to the healthy atmosphere they pay close attention too for us patrons, setting up for success the following day. This is a healthy attitude people need more of now, especially with today’s trying times.

I've visited 2 times and I must say that I was greeted with enthusiasm, smiles and beautiful spirits.

One of the filthiest gyms
Rarely cleaned
Dirty locker rooms
Filthy showers
Hand & Body Soap often empty
No toilet paper
Trash everywhere, Bins always spilling over. Like always

Very little attention to aesthetic
Unless youre really in a crunch, not reccommended

I am a lifetime member of gold's gold's gym the only thing free in my life at this point in time just gotta put your time in good people good service clean clean all you need for your exercise and the stay in shape you gotta work though KSKI

The retention team will not reply to me. Appears to be fake customer service so they can pretend to be helpful.

Potentially dangerous equipment at some of SoCal Gold's gyms and questionable billing practices.

I really enjoyed this gym. It takes you back to the days of the classic old school gyms from the 70s/80s. The type of weights here are made of iron and equipment is older but well maintained. The entire aesthetic of the gym feels so vintage, so management please keep this vintage aesthetic, don’t update it, it feels like a relic of the past but in a good way. Also the gym culture here is great, most people here are mindful and respectful. Love this gym.

Gym has a great atmosphere, but the membership has robbed me for over 700$. Be careful and don't get played like I did.

A sad and dilapidated place.
Rusted equipment, broken mirrors and sketchy neighborhood.

I’m trying to cancel this membership I had from a while back. Honestly the personal training here was terrible, the trainer did not start with safe weights and I ended up injuring myself on my 3rd session and my shoulder has never been the same since. I called to cancel and was told I couldn’t do it over the phone I had to go in. I drove 30 minutes to get here to be told I can’t cancel in person and to call a number that then told me again I can’t cancel over the phone, I now have to go to website to cancel, but I need info from the phone call. I’ve never gone to any other gym that makes it this hard to cancel or has been so reckless with people health. The gym in tiny the trainers seemed like they didn’t know what they are doing and I’m completely over this place. Just go to planet fitness at least there you know exactly what your getting for the price.

Rusty and old equipments, treadmills not working, men's bathroom was disgusting and smells like wet soggy corn chips, strong foul body odor, and urine. No air freshener through the ventilation system, hot and dingy. Luckily there was a lady who smelled really nice so I worked out next to her. Flat screen TV looked dated. That classic look is nonsense and an excuse for subpar customer experience. With $100 u can get some clorox bleach, fabulouso, a mop, a bucket, paper towels, and gloves and have employees alternate cleaning the bathroom every 2 hours. I felt like I was in a seespool of germs.the one star is for the staffs who are working in these horrible conditions and have to make excuses for management.smh.bad leadership. I could run the gym better than the current management. GYM 101: Keep gym clean and smelling good at all times! Will visit again but only because I am a Golds Gym member DTLA and sometimes I work in the valley. I understand under staff due to Covid-19 but no way an excuse for a dirty unhealthy gym.

It's classic gym.
The members who are working out here are very serious lol.
The equipments are little old but no problem to use.
For me, I need more machines than bars.
It's affordable though.

I have been a loyal member for years but the owners (a master franchise) won't invest any money in basic upgrades. They call it the retro look. For example, a number of the TV screens on their cardio machines simply don't work. Others have an obscure channel about farming (this is L. A.not Iowa). Basic machinery from the 80's, etc.

From the beginning, they have repeatedly continued to take or attempt to take more payment from me than what I owe. When I joined, I was double charged about 2-3 times in the first few months. Later when I cancelled my membership, they continued taking my money, saying that I didn't cancel correctly. I did it how they told me, and I thought everything was fine. The pandemic happened and they stopped payment for everyone, but when they opened back up, I started getting automated calls saying that I need to update my payment method. I called, and they told me I cancelled wrong, again. I followed their steps to cancel, and stopped getting calls. But a few month's later, I am ONCE AGAIN getting calls about updating my payment, and I bet they'll blame me for doing it wrong again. I've never had to jump through so many hoops to cancel with anyone else. And I am only glad I changed my card because this means they would have just been taking money from me where I may not even realize it for a month or 3. Something needs to be done about their attempted THEFT.

Before 4: 30 p.m. Weekdays best time. If all you need is to workout and be done this is the gym for you. 90% males.
