Edit:This gym has been struggling. Unclean, equipment in disrepair, and not true 24 hours. After the December Golds equipment fee steal, they better have new equipment. STEP IT UP. Especially for New Years, this is disappointing.---------Their workout music choices are awful! This morning they played the following in order:All of Me - John LegendWhite Flag - DidoDrops of Jupiter - TrainHey Ya - OutkastThis is a gym, not a Department Store.

I am sure that for some, this gym is great, but I would not recommend coming to THIS particular Gold’s. A roommate and I won three free months with the gym, in order to start this 3 month trial, we needed to pay the application fee. This process in itself went well, Eric was very nice and helpful. However, I did not use the membership and time was coming to cancel. My roommate cancelled and I cancelled a week later, ALL BEFORE THE THREE MONTH TRIAL ENDED. Neither of us received a confirmation email and assumed that was the end. Since then, I have been charged for TWO more months and for something referred to as gym upkeep, my roommate was not and has not been charged. I called to get this handled, was given a number for Billy that NO ONE answered at any time (mornings, evenings, week days, and weekends). I was told that I clearly never cancelled because I was supposed to get a confirmation email, but again, my roommate never received one and has not been charged, so how would I know that I should receive this email? I went to the gym and talked to someone and was told to leave my information and that I would be called. This never happened and has not happened yet. My money is already gone, but honestly, save your time, take your money elsewhere. There are better gyms with more professional and courteous staff.

You should definitely read these one star reviews before signing up. I didnt. I figured, Whats the worst that could happen? I dont mind a cancellation fee. As one reviewer stated, they are really cool until you try to cancel. The five-star reviews are from people who havent canceled yet. Ive been trying to cancel for about a months now, but my trainer wont do it! I signed up to learn the basics about about fitness training. I got great results by working with her for a month and a half. I put on four pounds of muscle. Awesome! And she is great with the exception of this issue, which Im sure is just a result of the policies of this particular Golds Gym.During our training, I also found out I was prone to fainting if I either over or under ate that day. We couldnt finished about 25 percent of our sessions because of this. Between working full-time and getting my masters, I didnt have time to meticulously watch my diet, too. So, I told her I wanted to cancel. She talked me into freezing the account instead, and I tried to keep going, but I kept nearly fainting during the sessions, like five minutes in. I figured Id come back in August when I had time to plan out my diet more carefully, and my classes arent so crazy. But she literally still would not cancel. We froze your account! was the response I just received when I asked her once again to cancel my sessions.I was going to come back, but this is pretty deterring.Besides that, the gym itself is low quality. The equipment is old, and the sound system is always malfunctioning. It sucks that there are no other gyms in the area. They are way too overpriced for what they offer.

Dont be deceived! If youre not a student, dont even bother.I love giving reviews! But if theyre bad, I typically ALWAYS keep my opinion to myself.... But I feel my review is important & should be shared. Tally may be a college town, but its also my home town. Even more reason to share.If this gym wants to focus only on college students.... Step up, be fair- reasonable, do not mislead others. Oh, also guys... πŸ‘‰change the gym name! Dont give the company name GOLDS a bad rep!!Ive been in a gym most my entire life, & never encountered this much disrespect. But everyone was so lovely the day I came in & bought 2 memberships, paying both 1yr in full. Many issues such as; being mislead on class schedules, group class availability, gym hrs, trainer availability, Ive been very much disrespected & one time even laughed at - by the bad mouth children left to operate the gym during wee-hrs of the morning, + more. Ill not step foot back in there to even ask for a refund of the rest of my 2 memberships. Not worth the gas to drive the 2 mile up the road.Sorry for the review, but I would never want someone to be mistreated as I was. & if I would have read this review before hand, I would have selected the gym thats located two miles in the other direction.But when I belonged to Golds long ago across town, or for a short time in another city, it wasnt like this.Theres my 2-cents.

Great atmosphere, really a family vibe. Owner is personal and gets directly involved with the members, definitely a rarity. This university club has a unique old school feel but has a variety of areas to train depending on your style. Avoid the corporate feel of a Planet Fitness and check the place out.

I go here everyday and Ive never had a problem with cleanliness or help from the staff. The trainers are experts and everyone is respectful of your space and your workout. I love this place and its the best gym Ive visited in the area. Many machines and benches so you can always find an area to workout in.

Extremely shady. Place is a disaster after Golds was moved over to this place.. whatever the hell it even is.Submitted a cancellation of membership, received a notice that my cancellation was successful, still getting charged 2 months later.Crazy annual fees.Stay away from this place. They don’t deserve anyone’s money.

Very shady business. I am not surprised Golds is closed down. They transferred all membership to their new location, Powerhouse Gym, which is a disaster. Nothing is done, the floors are ripped up, the ceiling is falling out in multiple spots, and overall, the place should not be a gym in general. I cancelled my membership immediately and joined You Fit. A little farther from campus but definitely worth it.

I have a great experience with golds Gym even as a guest. I was introduced to a product by the name of Down size Black and so far it has given me great results. I also love the womens fitness room. It is not too basic but it enough to push you to where you want to be. This gym is always cleaned or being clean. Its a diverse environment and if you dont know how to do something, the staff is willing to help. Great job Golds

I have been going to Golds Gym on Pensacola for over 10 years. Great staff and ownership who always are helpful. No frills, bright colors, or filler that makes you feel like you are in Pee Wees Playhouse. Just give me the equipment and weights I need to have a great workout and thats what this gym provides.

I enjoyed the facilities while in Augusta,GA and took some personal training sessions as well. I had military orders to transfer and during all the things going on forgot to give a copy to Golds before I left town. Joe was super helpful as one Golds is a franchise and the other is not, which made transfer difficult. I was able to send my orders to Lauren in Augusta who very kindly helped me cancel my contract so I could transfer to the Golds here in Tallahassee along with the help of Joe. I am very satisfied and will continue to patronize Golds!

This used to be a decent gym until recently. A gym is a place of business, you go there to work and better yourself. To the most of the faculty its a social gathering of drama queens - get you some headphones and mind your own business or get ready to deal w attitude from the front desk - people skills are non existent at this gym.Yesterday one of the managers promised to honor their commitment of allowing guest for the rest of the month and today the other manager flip flopped and decided not to honor that commitment.#IntegretyDisability

Golds Gym is a great place to start! I never thought I would like going to the gym until I started here. There is a whole lot of different equipment. They have a nice lockers and showers. There is a Womens Fitness Center. If you are a girl it is very nice to be able to go where there arent a bunch of meat heads everywhere. Oh, And their smoothies are to die for.

Ive been going here for a few years now and I will say Ive always loved the environment. The staff has always been cool with me, the equipment may not be perfect and new but they are weights who cares if they are shiny. My biggest problem is the hours being cut back especially Friday through Sunday. If the gym was open long on these days Id give it a 5 star ask day long.

The only complaint is the hours of operation for the weekends. I typically dont go to the gym until the evening time, during the week it works out fine, but the weekend is when I really have the time and energy to get a good workout in.The staff is friendly and helpful. The bathrooms are clean. Equipment could use someone updating, but it works. Overall the price is good for what you get.

DO NOT SIGN WITH THIS GYM!!! I have been calling this gym WEEKLY for over 2 MONTHS to cancel the membership (that I didn’t even sign up for!) and transfer my membership back to Gold’s Gym.

This company is trying to scam all of the unfortunate Gold’s Gym members that got transferred over WITHOUT WARNING and WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!

If I could give this 0 stars I would. they had me sign a month to month contract. I had to switch credit cards after 2 months and came in to talk to a manager about stopping payments on my account. he said there was no problem and they would do that right away. its 6 months later now and I have a collection agency telling me I now owe over $300 because I never closed my account with them. no one ever contacted me from there to let me know any of this and i will now never recommend anyone to sign anything with this gym.

Review β„–30

This is my first month at Golds, and I love the place. It has a great, serious atmosphere, nice genuine emplpyees, and good equipment (maybe a little aged, but MUCH variety - they offer more for bodybuilders than the Leach).I see a lot of people complaining about being charged after they cancel, being charged for 3 months when they sign up, and being charged for the annual fee. However, they informed me about all that when I signed up. You must fill out a cancellation form a month ahead of time (just like at EVERY gym), you have a one time a year extra fee for improvement of the gym, and an initiation fee. BY THE WAY a $100 initiation fee is NOT BAD. My last gym charged $300 AND $35 a month instead of $25. Golds manager even gave me a 50% discount on the fee when I signed up.So, my experience has been great so far. I really, really like it. It reminds me of back home by Eglin AFB - a lot of serious gym rats.

Now I understand all of these complaints about them failing to cancel and charging all of this money months later to be sent to collections. I supposedly owe over 200 dollars when I havent been to this gym in a year and canceled way back then. Very unprofessional and rude. I am getting many emails from whoever the manage there is right now. Dont want your time. This place is a scam and are very pretty.

Review β„–32

Extremely rude staff, overpriced, and 1/3 the size of a regular Golds Gym. The sales person was extremely manipulative and rude, and when I wasnt ready to commit to dropping a bunch of money he aggressively shoved his papers back into his folder, got up, said I was just trying to help you (manipulative tactic, he was just trying to make me commit to money I did not have), and stormed off in a huff like a child. I am a responsible adult, I will not commit to money I do not have in hand today, no matter how much manipulation and aggressive sales tactics anyone uses. Now, Im almost 40, but I can see where he would easily push someone younger around, probably makes him feel big, but I am grown enough to see through it. I love Golds, but seriously, dont pay full price for half a gym with rude manipulative employees. There are several complaints about the employees behavior and it persists, so that tells me the owner doesnt care about how his staff treats people. Its half the size and twice the price of PF, and the staff at PF are all very nice.

I have been a member of golds now for 2 years and am very unhappy. I have had staff hit on me while working out and make me feel very uncomfortable, and I have had on several occasions where I trip randomly through the gym because of the random cement sticking from the floor with no signs to indicate it as a hazard. I feel like I am paying double the amount of a normal gym and for what.. rusted weights. I have given Golds a chance and continue to be let down.

Review β„–38

I’ve had a membership to golds for the past three years now and it’s been nice on the days I need a quick workout and can’t make it to the FSU gym. At home I have an LA fitness membership and there is a huge difference in the gyms. The staff has always been nice, and they recently started getting better about having paper towels to wipe down equipment, but I have had some problems. I called a couple months ago to cancel my membership, and they referred me to the website to cancel it. After thinking I cancelled it, I continued to get charged and just let it go thinking β€œwhatever I’ll just use it when I need to”. I even got a confirmation email that it was cancelled and still continued getting charged- which seems really wrong to me because I think they were definitely trying to take advantage. Also, I really like working out in the women’s center and a couple months ago they got rid of a couple machines- before they had machines for every muscle. I asked one of the guys at the desk what had happened and he told me that it was more for β€œabs and butt”. LOL not the vibe I would’ve thought golds gym would’ve been enforcing. Overall, it’s a fine gym though.

Review β„–45

Ive trained in some outstanding gyms over the years, so my standards are pretty high. That said, I prefer meathead gyms as they are a joy to train in, but this one has some problems. I mostly lift weights and this gym has some decent equipment, but could stand to add a few more plate loaded pieces for leg and back training to reduce waiting times for frequently used equipment. The cardio area needs to be curated--there are far too many arc trainers that are hardly used during peak hours and take up valuable space. Strict rules need to be enforced in order to create an enjoyable experience, lest current members will take their business elsewhere. For example, no one should have to waste 10 minutes tracking down a set of dumbbells because someone did not put them back in their place. This is far too common and is incredibly frustrating for members. Please dont assume people know proper gym etiquette and post rules everywhere! Ill end on a positive note: the staff are great...including Eric.

Review β„–49

The night manager Eric is rude and unprofessional, I have had several dealings with him just going about my workout that have soured my experience there. Previously I even tried to get a friend to sign up so we could workout together but Eric ruined everything by giving him a crappy deal, getting angry when my friend was unsatisfied with the price and telling him he could go workout somewhere else if he didnt like it and on top of that criticizing his commitment and strength for not signing up. His unprofessional attitude and arrogant and unwelcoming demeanor lost him not only my friends potential membership, but mine as well. This was months ago, I now work out at another gym and the difference in staffing is night and day. Golds has a lot more equipment than it used to due to the Appalachee Golds closing, but the free weights are rusty and run down. Even in Tallahassee you can do better. Find someplace that actually wants to earn and keep your business and cares about the members.

So then I decided to have my membership frozen instead. I called and they said they froze it, I then got charged again and they said it was never frozen when I asked.

Review β„–75

Where to begin...there are bent barbells, really loose dumbbells, very old/rusty equipment, bench press bars have the knurling worn down so much you can barely find the rings to help you place your hands, only like one squat rack, all metal weights are old/rusty, the staff wont allow you to try out a 30 day free trial(standard trial among Golds) if the FSU leach center is closed because it forces FSU students to buy a membership (not me!), and they dont honor military discount at this gym (another Golds Gym standard). They advertise everywhere in Tally that you only pay $10 a month for membership, but they get you by making you pay over a $100 enrollment fee(up to $199) which is not refundable if you cancel your membership...plus you have to pay the enrollment fee again if you start membership for second time. I know this because i ask a lot of questions! Avoid this gym if you can keep from it! If you must use a Golds gym in Tally then i recommend the one on Apalachee Parkway. The gym is much nicer and i like the staff a lot better.

Review β„–80

For anyone out there looking for comprehensive review of Golds gym University location, I will try to cover all the pros and cons that may be left out by other reviews. I have been going to this Golds location for over 2 years now, and it is a great place as long as you understand everything ahead of time. Many people complain that they were continually charged after they requested to cancel, but to anyone who read their contract it states that you must cancel your contract within 30 days of leaving, or you will incur one extra billing cycle. If you understand this then you will have no issue, you just need to cancel ahead of time. I have also heard people complain about the steps for cancellation, however I went through the simple process on the website and it processed just fine (just answer a couple of questions, no faxing or anything required). The gym has a vast number of machines, both strength and cardio for every part of your body, so you need not worry about getting a good workout. I would, however, recommend staying away from the 4-8PM rush if you do not want to risk waiting for machines, but this is typical for many gyms, and especially one located in a city like Tallahassee and right by a huge University. Personally I never have much trouble getting my workout even during rush hours. For women there is even a womens fitness area which I normally never see very crowded either, so you have a backup plan if the rest of the gym is crowded. The staff is friendly. I have never had a negative experience with any staff except once when I first began, and after a week or so he was no longer working there. The tanning beds are nice and clean and there are enough that you dont have to worry about waiting for one to become available normally. If you want to bring a guest, you are able to do so under their more expensive membership, although be aware that they do require that guest to have a Tallahassee ID. There are tons of classes offered and they offer personal training sessions as well for a price. There are also a lot of college students who work out here (no surprise) and come in many varities, so be sure to expect that as well. If you are on on of their premium memberships and need to travel, you get a certain amount of gym passes to other Golds outside of Tallahassee (I think about 14 passes) per year. You can also visit any other Tallahassee location as many times as you want, which is nice. Just be aware that their 9.99 plan does not cover this option I dont believe. Also, once a year Golds will charge a $50 enhancement fee to every member, but the locations do continue to enhance their gyms so this is not necessarily a scam. Personally I would recommend this gym to just about anyone. Just be sure to get all the info you can regarding your contract so you know exactly what to expect and plan ahead for, and see if there are any promotional offers to save you some money. For $10-20 a month with no commitment it is a great price for a great gym, and I do not plan on leaving anytime soon!

Customer service is absolutely terrible and the upper management staff has no clue how to handle themselves professionally. The staff could benefit from a lesson on customer service. In addition, the equipment is almost always broken and when you bring it to their attention, they put your concerns to the back-burner. Choose another gym where they actually know what customer service is and how to treat customers.

Not a single towel container filled. People were not wiping equipment off. Staff seemed more about hitting on the customers than anything else. The music was louder than when I had my headphones on. Cable attachments spread out everywhere!

Manipulative and unethical business practices. The staff is rude and could care less about you. You are just a number to them.

They have mostly treadmills, limited cardio equipment. Limited machines, always stupid busy. And the staff is standoffish. I drive across town to use the other ones, even though this one is less than a mile away from me.

I like the extended hours. Staff is usually rude, like the Golds Gym on Capital Circle.

Limited, aging equipment. Great atmosphere and staff, but if you mostly use free weights you might be disappointed.
