Gold's Gym Slaughter & South Congress, Austin TX

Nice place with even nicer staff. Specifically Luis Patino. Works nonstop to keep the place clean and hygienic and it shows. Plus he’s gotta be one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Always joking around, motivating people, and working hard. Love him, the other staff, and the gym. Great experience.

I had my car broken into while at this location. Not the first time I’ve seen it happen. Some additional security measures should be taken if this is a known issue.

Otherwise, this location is fine. Very crowded during peak times but that’s every gym in Austin. Nice staff.

️ BE AWARE OF A 30 DAYS CANCELATION FEE if you’re starting your membership. They will charge you another month billing if you don’t cancel a month ahead. NO CONTRACT is just propaganda, THIS FEE IS REAL ️

Overall if you have any medical issues?
You may not get your free one hour training and recently I experienced auto parts theft during day time training plus I haven't seen any City police pass by during my visits!

After cancelling my gym membership and filling out the paperwork in store I’ve been billed four times for a membership. Multiple calls to the gym and they say they cancelled it and don’t document anything, eventually had to call corporate, they say they can’t refund anything even though their employees lost the paperwork and did not document any calls about it. So they supposively finally cancelled it. After over $100 dollars billed. Do yourself a favor and sign up for a different gym so you don’t get robbed from these people. They don’t care about customers they just want to take your money and shrug you off.

Ive been going to golds for over 6+ years, This location is by far the worst. They charge almost nothing for new memberships, so you get members who have no gym etiquette, they literally had gym members stealing equipment and thought the solution was to enforce no bags on the gym floor instead of removing those members. The staff are dismissive and on multiple occasions went out of their way to avoid being helpful. I’d suggest a different location or not going to golds at all. The experiences i’ve had here has caused me to change gyms completely. They don’t care about retention or your loyalty.

A variety of equipment options, friendly staff, probably the only gym i’ve gone to where people wipe down their machines and rerack their weights. PT’s go above and beyond. Not the closest gym to me but the service and environment make the extra drive so worth it.

Shauna helped me out and provided more help than the customer service line did. I would no longer be a member if it wasn’t for her. Clean gym with solid employees. Would recommend to my friends and family.

Love golds gym but hate this location, staff is way too uptight about everything and constantly feels like you’re being watched.

The staff very friendly and helpful. Very clean. Great lighting for a progress selfie. The only thing I would like to change is add more weighted machines and move the cardio machines to another area. The lack of equipment and it only being 1 floor means lots of congestion at times.

This location does have very nice and new equipment but it is also one of the newer Gold's gym in the area. My two complaints for this gym is the bench seats near the dumbbells are too tall and the busy times in this gym are way too busy! It is impossible go through a normal workout routine during the afternoons. I would recommend going to the other gold's gym at that time.

Gold’ s Gym is very clean and offers a great silver sneakers class with an amazing instructor, Jennifer Aguilar. The gym is kept very clean by Luis. He is always friendly and polite. Thank you Gold’s for all your workers as they always greet you and very friendly.

They will charge you $70 to cancel your membership as they require a 30-day window post cancellation.

The sauna is filled with people in sweaty gym clothes, because there is no direction or concern from Gold's to shower and change clothes before going in - even though this has been addressed. Have fun getting a bacterial or viral infection in there!

Love going to this gym! Great environment, i take the Thursday and Friday Zumba classes with Norma and she is so encouraging and helpful. 10/10 would recommend!:)

They refuse to cancel membership by phone and then keep calling you even after being asked to stop calling. I feel harrassed. I hadn't been to the gym in a few months before I attempted to cancel and I wasnt under contract, so this is them trying to collect on unused memberships.

Love coming here.

Also very happy the golds employees have been regulating the
gYm BrOs with their tripods recording and duffel bags being all over the gym floor.

I will say, avoid the afternoons between 4: 00-7: 00. Very crowded and you’ll be dodging free weights.

All the staff is super nice and I love seeing the maintenance/cleaning guy in the morning. He’s so sweet and seems to LOVE his job.

This gym stays packed. It gives you the Planet Fitness vibe. The stretch area is tiny and not enough free hand weights. Going back to Lifetime.

Nice clean gym with dope lighting for videos the atmosphere in there is badass the gym goers are cool but when did golds gym become planet fitness you can’t record yourself for self progress you can’t even text in the gym what? You can’t have your gym bag you have to carry all of your stuff you will constantly see someone stalking you walking the whole gym making sure you’re not breaking “the rules” which is annoying nobody minds if you do any of that only the staff that works there apparently so I will not be coming back here I’ll stick to the golds by my house they are way less uptight.
