Excellent facility. The gym is very clean and the staff is super friendly. They have pretty much every machine you could ask for and plenty of open space for more CrossFit style workouts. A hip thrust machine is the only thing missing in my opinion. Great gym, glad I joined

This location is well organized and clean with friendly staff. I have close for about a year and have been a member for about a month. They have strong instructors for their spin classes and they open at 4:30 am which can accommodate most. The traffic flow here is probably the worst at rush hour but most times the flow moves consistently enough to have access to all the equipment with moderate weight time. Theres a smooth bar, private training, large tires, battle ropes, lots of cardio machines and a clean locker room. Ive noticed a few massage tables in a back office so I imagine you can inquire about pt or post work out, injury relief. I would recommend membership for anyone without reservation at this time. Theres a positive vibe here...courteous, friendly, but about the business.

I enjoy working out here. Love the middle area for stretching.

Solid gym for all of your lifting needs! The staff are all pleasant and welcoming. The place is kept super clean. It can get pretty crowded at peak times and I wish it were open later on weekends... But overall, great gym.

The owners are hesitant to bring back CHILDCARE when literally almost every human walking this earth has children. Its not because of C-19 either. It’s a perfectly good childcare facility, just sitting there while their current/dedicated members struggle to go to the gym as a family. This is frustrating, and is truly Insensible to the majority of people who give this gym business in Lorton VA.Also the owner wants to revert this gym back into a classic gold gym so we were told when asking when childcare would be returning……… awesome and all but why does childcare have to be compromised for that? Parents have goals too. My husband is a D1 athlete and we are extremely frustrated with their childcare excuses. We are considering switching if this doesn’t change soon.

Was there for a yoga class. It was great!

This is the cleanest, best -equipped gym in the area. I have been a member for many years, and really miss this gym when I have to go to other ones, due to travel. There is full-time cleaning staff, who keep bathrooms and locker rooms immaculate. Everyone who works here is friendly and helpful.

Nice gym with lots of good equipment of all types. Highly recommend the gym if you want a variety of options

Everything is so clean and everyone is so nice! The employees are knowledgeable and happy to help! A lot of open space and equipment for every workout! It smells great too! Ive never been so excited to go to the gym! (Also the Peanut Butter Cup Shake is delicious!)

This location stole 11 months of gym dues. I prepaid my member ship for the year and due to the pandemic, the gym closed for a couple months and I had froze my account for the majority of 2020. I come in today and was told I was still charged. I was given the run around from their assistant gm, with no justified explanation for charging me with these circumstances. Never prepay here, youll get your money stolen.

Great gym. Very clean, very safe. Great fitness instructors. Good workouts, good times!

Ive been to a few gyms during the pandemic, this one was by far the worse. Most gyms require masks while weight lifting, some make an exception for cardio. This gym has no mask requirement. While it can be argued whether or not you can do cardio with a mask, you most definitely can weight lift wearing one. For a business that was shutdown for half this year, youd think this gym would be invested in keep the case count down but apparently they prefer to be an incubator

Good people! Clean facilities. Conscious of Cov-19 and it shows. Feel very secure in Golds facilities.

Highly recommend this gym. Great staff and members!

Newer to this location and by far the best golds in the area. Its a huge space with new equipment and good classes. The staff has been really helpful and friendly.

Good place to workout and the staff is very friendly and professional

This is wonderfully clean and open facility; with a polite knowledgeable staff. Their Nutritional director is topnotch and reasonably priced.

Love Golds Gym. Lots of regulars that are interested in fitness. I have been going three times a week for over two years. When I go in, it is like being with good friends. All ages are there. I use a personal trainer twice a week named Matt Ferris who is outstanding. He makes sure that I get a good workout but ensures that I do it safely. I highly recommend Golds Lorton

Outstanding gym. Great staff, equipment is clean and in good shape. The facility is well organized with tons of room, good selection of classes. Absolutely recommened!

Golds Gym Lorton is the best gym in the Northern Virginia area. It has guaranteed updated equipment, courteous staff members, amiable ownership, and an upbeat positive environment. There just isnt a better place to meet your goals!

After two years, this golds gym called me saying I owed 162$, threatening me and saying it would into collections and I would have to owe 600$... (I never once went and worked out here) I payed 62$ over the phone, then called 2 days later to pay the 100$. Once I called they said I owed 60$ and I was like okay? The 10 minutes later they said I owed another 60$ and won’t be able to drop collections unless I payed that other 60$. I honestly feel robbed for my money and payed all of that for something I never went once. THEY WILL TRY TO GET YOU TOO, BE CAREFUL!!!

I think that the membership price is a great value and the group classes are offered both morning and evening. The instructors are excellent and it is a great way to meet your friends (at least 5 of my friends belong) and get some exercise! The gym is always clean, but get there early... the parking lot and classes fill up!

Front desk staff were very unprofessional, won’t be back to this location.

I would not recommend this location for any reason!First, I had been visiting this location as a trial, paying upon each visit, and made 15 paid and 3 visitor pass visits as many of the Golds Gyms have been sold to a franchise or are closing in the area. This location has little new equipment and much of the other equipment is either old or something purchased or given as part of some other gyms closing.The layout is wide open with equipment placed in a cater cornered semi-circle to the open floor of the main gym all facing the front desk/ exit/ entrance with offices or a classroom towards the rear of the building. The building is very old with extremely old, poorly maintained, and unclean carpeting throughout parts of the building and specifically within the locker room and womens gym. The maintenance staff cleans but not with the level of effort that maintains the building or severely aging components of the facility.On Monday, March 2nd, 2020, I visited this location, as I have done in the past, prepared to pay for the visit but requested to use the pass from another location. Mark Yentsch applied a 5 day guest pass which he stated I am allowed once per year.On Tuesday, March 3rd, 2020, after entering the locker room and changing, Lindsey Hammett, a front desk employee, was exiting the womens locker room. I mentioned my most recent visit, hearing of paper towel use complaints from other members from my prior visit, and my laying paper towels in the sauna because the nails in the wood caused blistering or severe burns due to the warn nature of the wood and screws being exposed.Upon exiting on Tuesday, I was stopped as I attempted to leave by Dale Womack who did not provide his affiliation to the gym and had no business card and told me the manager, Joseph Harrison, wanted to speak with me. While Dale Womack stood there, the manager, Joseph Harrison, told me that they have been watching me for the last few weeks that I have visited specifically in the sauna and showers. He stated that I violated his policy by sitting or laying on paper towels in the sauna, he accused me of throwing paper towels on the floor in the sauna and all over his gym, and for using the paper towel to either stand on in the shower to not slip and fall as well as using the paper towels to clean up excessive water or remnants of the prior persons use of the shower floor. He, continued, I am not to use the paper towels for these purposes and as a result am not allowed to return because this violated his policy.

Great place to lift. Plenty of free weights and machines, multiple rooms for classes, and I love that theres room to flip tires or push the prowler. Look for Chris if you need a great trainer!

Excellent gym a lot equipment nice

Do NOT sign up here. Trust me. Total SCAM. Will report to BBB.They will receive your cancellation and then continue to charge you for months. Once you try to request assistance, your pushed aside. Tried to give the Manager an opportunity to address the matter before writing a review. The Manager gave up quickly and tried to move on without making a real effort to resolve the issue. Total scam. Avoid them at all costs! Save your time and money! Terrible manual, paper cancellation process and they do not take any responsibility.

I absolutely love this gym! I am there at least 4 or 5 times a week taking classes and lifting weights on my own. The gym is always clean and the staff is friendly and encouraging. If you are a gym rat like me, this gym is definitely for you!!

I love this gym.I got a personal trainer to help make sure I stayed fit. I noticed that some trainers cost more than others and someone told me this was due to their experience with the company. So I chose one of the cheaper trainers and I was completely satisfied. I suggest you do this too as I didnt really notice a difference from my trainers methods to that of one of the more expensive trainers.Everytime I leave this place I feel thoroughly worked out and satisfied. They also offer spin classes and other activities that I want to try. Something tells me Im going to be using this gym for a long time.

Nice spanking clean place to workout at peace. Thanks for adding the extra machines and training the front desk staff to be a bit friendlier :)

Mike and his crew are great. Golds Lorton has a large selection of equipment and their kids program is fantastic. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Great place to workout.

I joined in the latter part of 2017 on a month to month contract. I canceled May 2018 through email, requested by phone and they told me it had to be email, and through their online request information service.Every month they’ve billed me 40$. I’ve had to resort to disputing and I’m still going through the process.

Golds gym is an amazing place to work out, the people at the front are always nice and helpful and they hold my longboard for me when I need them to. A good selection of weights and machines would recommend

Great gym with awesome people that work there. Spin classes/instructors are awesome!

Great atmosphere, I am now a member! Nice trainers, enthusiastic teachers. First time member and I love it!

Update your hours. I drive a while 30 minutes to come and it was closed. The front desk never answered the phone and when someone did, they didn’t know either.

Great gym!

Always helpful and everyone I meet there is motivated and ready to share a laugh or equipment.

Ive been going to this gym for several years and enjoy working out here. However maintenance of the equipment is poor. Appears to not be an effective preventive maintenance program bc Ive never seen anyone oiling, tightening screws, adjusting cables or anything to prevent breakdowns. Looks like the gym is more concerned about making money in the short term than customer satisfaction. Also, from an employee standpoint, Dale the membership guru, is outstanding and a lot of people, I know, stay at this gym bc of his excellent customer service. Hes professional, knowledgeable and does whatever it takes for the customer. Great employee!!!!!

Its not fancy. Its effective. My husband and I are committed to fitness. This gym has what we look for - a range of weights and equipment at every level, lots of cardio options and excellent fitness classes. Reasonable cost.

Its a great place to work out. A lot of equipment and a really friendly staff, especially Mr. Dale and Tyrell. Improvements could be made in the heavy bag area upstairs, otherwise this is the place to go.

I love the classes offered as part of my membership. In addition to traditional yoga and Zumba classes, the body flow class combines yoga, Tai chi and pilates moves. Its a great low impact workout and stress reliever. The facilities at the gym are great and there are always open machines. The staff is very friendly and helpful and Ive had a great experience especially for the low cost to join.

Love this gym. Aways my go-to spot for a great workout. Dale and Scott are the best and always helpful!

Excellent and clean facility! Great staff and always willing to help. New classes that challenge and provide an excellent environment to workout!

Been a member since it opened. Have made numerous complaints recently about an ongoing issue that isnt improving. Management doesnt seem to show much concern for the females who have been complaining about the men not re-racking their weight plates, making it impossible to use the machines. I was told to: 1. change my schedule (tried that) and; 2. wait until college kids go back for the situation to improve. (It isnt college kids doing this, its grown men). Really? Thats your solution? These responses only emphasize that management doesnt place much importance on supporting the females who try to weight train at this location.

BEWARE THEY WILL NOT CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP EVEN IF YOU WHERE TO DIE! for the past 6 months i have emailed, called, went in, email corporate to cancel my account and low and behold another monthly recurring charge.WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU GOLDS GYM TO CANCEL MY MEMBERSHIP!! HOW HARD IS IT TO UNDERSTAND .oh yeh right it is processing for 6 damn months? They will not call you back, left tons of messages. Coincidentally the only person who can help me is not available. I MUST BRING IN THE ORIGINAL SIGNED AGREEMENT SO THE CAN PROCESS MY CANCEL REQUEST. Sorry I dont have it, what other excuse BS will i keep hearing from you.So now not only will you have to deal with my bank as fraudulent charges, i will report you everywhere I can.AVOID THIS PLACE AT EVERY COST!!

Incredible staff, very helpful, really good equipment and the gym has drastically changed the way I feel as the gym has helped me get stronger

The actual gym has a lot of great equipment and its never clogged up. The only thing I would note is that many of the rowing machines need to be serviced or replaced.The child-care room is always clean and is very convenient. This is important to me because I have a special-needs child. The attendant had no problem keeping an eye on him and he had a great time in the play room while I worked out.Trainers are very expensive. Some trainers cost more money simply because they have been with the company for a longer time than others. After paying $65/session for a trainer, I was surprised with how lackadaisical my trainer was during sessions and how often the trainer cancelled due to personal issues. I was completely disapointed with the personal training services I received and wouldnt recommend them to anyone.

This is an outstanding and spacious gym, with plenty of activities (my favorites boxing and zumba). My personal trainer Scott Otwell is awesome, helping me maximize my workout, while being careful with old injuries. His training methods have kept me engaged and have been fun to do at the same time I lost 10LBS and feel young again...Cant wait until we get into the Golds Gym Challenge.

Great gym with an amazing staff that go out of their way to grab be you the best experience. Shout out to Sabrina and Mike for dealing with me!

The heating system and hot water has been fine for a while. All in all, a nice gym.

Large gym. Free weights. Boxing areas. Classes. Tons of machines. Parking. Clean bathrooms. Friendly helpful staff.

Its gotten better. Okay sauna. Relaxing location and atmosphere. Good gym.

Great gym, recently remodeled with wonderful staff!

Friendly staff and trainers. Very clean and organized gym.

When you join.. Just be careful they’ll be hitting you with miscellaneous charges about $12 on top of the monthly. Check your statements

Great vibe, friendly staff, plus great tasting smoothies :)

I would like to know about some membership as many people have told me that it is an excellent gym.

First I would like to say that it is a nice gym, its big with plenty of machines and classes and nice bathrooms. I would give this gym a higher review, but they lack in customer service training, especially when it comes to contracts. I advise future customers to read your contract, here are a few things to take note of:1. If you sign a contract, in my case it was a 2-Year Contract, note that your membership automatically renews after the contracts ends. So, if youre thinking that, hey my gym membership ends in 2 years, think again, you have to manually cancel your membership.2. When you do cancel your membership, make sure you cancel before the date of when you sign up for the gym. They cancel memberships in 30-day increments. So, for example, if you signed up on the 9th in like February and decide to cancel on the 11th of March, you will be charged for the month of March and if you have a contract, youll have to pay whatever remaining amount you owe in order to cancel your contract.3. Also they charge a maintenance fee every year. I cancelled my membership in November, I didnt owe anything so I didnt have to pay anything else, but since I cancelled after the date of when I signed up I got charged for the maintenance fee, even though my wife and I did not use the gym.4. This is not a corporate Golds Gym, it is a franchise Golds Gym, which means if you were to go to a Corporate Golds Gym, you would have to pay $10 to use that gym. This works vice versa, if you have a corporate gym membership, you have to pay $10 to use a franchise gym.Now my personal complaint, to the owner or manager. Please train your employees to not argue with the customer. When I tried to cancel my membership, your employee was very rude. He kept giving me excuses that he couldnt cancel my membership, because his computer was not working and told me to come back. When I kept asking him if there was any other way, he kept giving me excuses. He then went on someone elses computer and was able to process my cancellation. When I asked him if I was going to get any refund or anything, his response was, Why would you get anything back?! I dont know what was up with his attitude, but I advise you train your employees better.

I really wish their wifi was more consistent

The gym is great but the only problem I have is the Wifi. I wish if they can improve their Wifi connection because every other day there is internet connection problem.

Cannot change account over the phone, its 2015, learn to verify peoples ID and stop scamming people that are moving out of town to steal money. Every business in the world can verify an identity over the phone stop BS-ing people to take their money by inconveniencing them. Im deploying overseas jerks. Cancel the da&%$n account. The gym facilities are mediocre, lots of dirty broke down stuff laying around. Gets really busy. I enjoyed most of my time there, but its a bit cramped and run down. Manager blew me off when I needed assistance in the past. Most of the staff are pretty nice, generally its a gym in a convenient spot if you need it, with no competition.

The facility is out of date. The front desk persons open the gym late. The heating system and hot water have often do not work. After canceling membership management frequently continues to debit your credit or debit card. The sauna is frequently broken. There is no person to clean the facility.

I have cancelled my Gold Gym Lorton membership in the month of July 2017, I have been charged my credit card every month till now, I have personally informed at Gold Gym Lorton Front Desk(December) and Sales person(November) but there has been no action and every month i have been paying, I have posted my credit card statement from Sept 2017 till Dec 2017 for Gold Gym being charge my credit card

Best gym ive ever been to Great staff too.

Great Gym and Great Associates

Ive been a member of Golds Gym (through Fitness First buyout) for over 20 years. In that time I have relocated several times and tried out their gym locations in Reston, Chantilly, Gaithersburg, Tysons, and more recently Arlington South, and Van Dorn St. All were very nice. I thought I would try this one in Lorton/Gunston. After driving all the way over there I was rudely met by the lady at the front desk who told me my Golds Gym membership does not include this Golds Gym. I thought she was joking. No where on the Golds Gym web site does it say this Golds Gym was different from the others. It looks the same. Has the same Golds Gym logo and sign. Yet somehow my membership dues do not include this gym! She then asked if I wanted to pay $15 for a one time use fee or upgrade my membership to include this gym. I rejected this and left.I am not sure if what she told me was BS or not but here is a tip on good customer service. Next time a Golds Gym customer drives out of his way to try out your special Golds Gym, try telling him something like, Im sorry sir. Your gym membership does not include our Golds Gym. Why dont you work out today with a complementary one-time use fee and upgrade your membership if you like us.Since I missed my work out yesterday I am going back to Arlington South today where the staff is friendly.

Stephanie has to be the laziest front desk person Ive ever met.. She Wouldnt call a gym to verify a membership. Attitude was over the moon.. For a franchise Im surprised. Usually they can cherry pick details about the gym.. Might as well close the door and put up a be back later sign. Thanks, I will pass. Horrible experience. How bad do you people need help?

Ive had a membership with this gym for almost 2 years. I added my brother as a student in February and started fully paying for both myself and for about 3 months they charged BOTH my moms card and mine even though I changed it to my card. On top of that they were charging me $29.99 a TWICE a month when they were only suppose to charge me 50 something since my brother has a $20.00 membership. To top it ALL off I work full time and go to school full time so every time I go to complain the fiance person isnt there. Its been months of dealing with this crap and when I told them to cancel my membership they said I had to pay some ridiculous fine even though their HORRIBLE service is the reason I want to cancel it. And I know Im not the only one with this problem because when I went to complain a couple times, there was other people complaining about the same issue, getting over charged or charged to many times a month. DONT get a membership with them. I will say the trainers are nice but unless they get a new fiance person, it isnt worth it.

Golds Gym Lorton! Great facility, trainers and staff!!!

It is a great gym and has a community feel!

They lie to take your money!!! And then threaten you.

NEVER SIGN UP A CONTRACT IN THIS PLACE!!!!

Staff is always sincerely happy to help

I’m never coming back here again!!!Worst management ever

This is where you go to work out.

They stole my family’s money

Expensive

Enough equipment for the novice or body builder.

They are very friendly and professional people in their fields.
