Is all barbells and muscles here. Still think the original gym is the best!

This gym(not the employees but rather the owners of the gym/ones who profit from the gym) has shown to be inconsiderate of peoples financial situations during the Covid -19/coronavirus. I noticed that they would charge for renovation fees, yet all they had to offer was an enclosed fence with little equipment outside. I have tried to cancel my membership multiple times but was denied because I do not live 25 miles away. I live in Santa Cruz now and need 11 more miles to qualify. On top of that, there is a $100.00 Fee for canceling. For that reason, I would not recommend this establishment to anyone.

Nice gym, gets a bit crowded at times and there’s only a couple squat racks that are usually taken. The equipment is good though and Thhe people are nice

Cant even get a sales person to tell me the price of a membership. All she said was there are different prices and I asked what those were. She placed me on hold for 10 minutes before I hung up. Not a good sales person. Ill go look for another gym.

I think that they are thieves I had tried to cancel three times with them during Covid I no longer live in the area and they still sent me to collections and I still have to pay so it doesn’t go on my credit I would not recommend this placeThey are very shady people

Cleanest Gym in Watsonville and great variety of machines as well! Ernie the front desk worker is super welcoming as well and is always there keeping the gym clean!

Everything is outside. Kind of defeats the purpose of dealing with covid if we are all grouped up outside. Might as well be able to be 6ft a part inside with good ventilation in my opinion. Either way, depending on when you go, be prepared to get a cold from being wet and freezing.

Great experience so far

Eddies the man, happy guy, great place to get your sweat on

I really liked the gym but their accounting dept (aka Erica Grijalva, manager) is totally unorganized. They charge you fees 3 months later. I’ve been in business a long time and this place needs better communication and professionalism.

Gold’s gym has truly disappointed me. The owners really don’t care about the safety of their members. I wanted to cancel my membership because I didn’t feel safe or comfortable being there anymore and one of the OWNERS said my reason wasn’t a valid reason for them to cancel my membership! How is that not a valid reason!? If someone doesn’t feel safe or comfortable being in a place then they shouldn’t be forced to keep going there! The owner was incredibly rude and disrespectful towards me and boyfriend and we highly DONT recommend anyone signing up at Gold’s gym in Watsonville!!

Cleanest gym Ive ever visited. Indoor and outdoor equipment. Even has a lap pool.

👍

Jorge needs to works on his communication. He has a lack of enthusiasm for his job. He spoke as if he wasnt speaking to a customer but more so as a troubled teen speaking to his mom in the form of torpidity.

It was better before the gym was reduced to its original size. Before the Covid it was always packed and no parking, so once this is over, it will be too packed again.

No One should ever consider signing a contract with Gold’s Gym in Watsonville. Not only do they charge random “improvement” fees when nothing has been improved, they also do not take member health and safety seriously. They assured me they were requiring masks, enforcing physical distancing, and cleaning equipment diligently to prevent potential spread of Covid. When I went to the gym the place was packed, people were not social distancing, and no one had a mask on. I have a pregnant wife and cannot risk bringing anything home. I explained to the gym, with the current state of the gym I can’t use the facilities. They told me I was under contract and there was nothing they could do. They offered to put my membership on hold for three months for $30, then charged me my monthly membership fee and a $45 improvement fee. After that I asked why I was charged after putting my account on hold and no one has responded to my calls or emails in weeks. They are basically using a pandemic to steal membership fees and recoup losses by charging “improvement” fees. I signed a contract with the understanding i’d be able to use the facilities. Due to the unsafe practices at the gym I cannot use the facility safely. As I have looked around and read recent reviews I see this is happening to a number of people. Safe yourself money and headache. Don’t ever go to this gym.

The staff didn’t canceled my one year membership and they kept on charging me monthly and know I have to pay for their mistake! Do not recommend!!!

I love my gym especially the aqua classes. Corine the instructor is challenging and yet knows exactly what we need and what we can do. She is fun and has built a community of aqua warriors! Lets be real, I am a fat person, my gym clothes dont match my shoes and I dont wear cute visors. I huff and puff and I work hard in the water. I wear a bathing suit with shorts and I feel COMFORTABLE at this gym and in this class. I work hard and I am really strong because of my work out. Check it out.

We camped at New Brighton Beach for Labor Day weekend, but I still needed to get my workouts in. Golds In Watsonville has everything you need to get a great workout regardless of what youre doing. The facility is clean, the staff was friendly and the locals were focused on getting their workout on - so there werent people camping on one station forever.

Great gym. Lots of open space. Kept clean and organized.

Most of the time, the equipment I need is available. They could use atleast one more set of DB weights, and maybe increments of 2,5LB. As I workout with my lady, and I see other ladies that might like that idea as well. Some members dont put their weights back, which is so annoying. Management has been told, and given ideas, but to no avail.

Its a little too expensive considering the fact that they reduced the gym space and crammed everything into one section of the building

Need blankets to work abs on the floor

When you have to have the best its got to be Golden Gym what a beautiful layout you have equipment pool hot tub showers and such a friendly staff

Great place and nice location, but poor care in bathrooms and don’t t care about sanitization in shower rooms, pool & jacuzzi area.

I liked until i was physically attacked by an instructor/manager there! The owner hide video footage of the attack from staff and refused to speak with me in person only cause of her close friendship with the attacker! Come to find out though all there equipment is old and out dated and the showers are always needing repair as well! So glad to be at a better gym with new equipment! The best instructors are at 24 fitness and inshape anyways they all are skilled and are a much friendlier group then some of the instructors at golds!!!!! I suggest the drive to sc so worth it!!!

Old people are too comfortable being naked in the locker rooms but the equipment and fellow gym members push ones self.

Staff is great. Environment is perfect for gains and good times!

Gym has a great layout, gamely cheap but has a lot of people that love the mirror more than working out

Nice gym that has a large selection of weights and machines.

I called this place and they wouldnt answer my questions and they started rejecting my calls all i wanted was a gym to get my work out

Great atmosphere, great staff, new machines, my home away from home.

Not a great gym. Surprise fees for upgrades though same equipment & faucets have been broken since I started. Always too hot, not great equipment, and far too small.

Great equipment, always kept clean and friendly staff.

Good facilities, well maintained, and friendly helpful staff. What more can you want in a gym?

Good place, not a lot of people, showers are ok, only things is PRICEY !

Lots of everything! Unfortunately that includes PEOPLE!.

Nice facility to work out

It pretty cool

They give you steroids....i swear

Good workout facility

Golds gym is awesome

Ok

Great

I like the greatness of this gym, they always keep it clean and the areas are very comfortable to do your exercises, of course, you have to take into account the time when you go as in everything, you can fill and it will not be so nice, but there is always room for you.

Excellent gym is very happy to be able to attend this gym.

It is my favorite place

The staff is very rude
