Absolutely love working out here! They have the biggest selection of squat racks I have EVER seen in a gym, and also TONS of machines, lots that I ve never even seen before! Also the energy from the other people in the room is really inspiring. There is a reason this place is legendary. Also the mon...
The megga of bodybuilding. Very big, but very full, old equipment, too little dumbbells and not well sorted ... Expensive is a day pass with 25 / 30 $ also ....
Old run down location, machines are worn out and dirty, no air conditioning, gets very hot inside in the summer.
Just the energy in the place is worth to just workout in.
Last time I renewed my membership (in Oct. 2018) I was charged $749 for the year. I'm a longtime member but that was the biggest fee increase ever. Is that really the going rate these days, or did I get ripped off?
We need a CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT... read the reviews on here and on yelp... every other review says how they will not let you cancel even though you have a month to month contract and they just keep billing you. It s almost like it s a game. Seriously read the reviews it s like it s funny. We will st...
Great gym, good atmosphere.
Nice old school and new machines.
Would recommend if you are into serious weightlifting.
Was my first time to visit venice beach , and I worked out there .really its a great gym and evryone works serious , its a lovely gym
As much as even my fellow gym members say they hate management. I never go when they are there so it doesn t bother me lol. I m a bodybuilder , and this is a bodybuilding gym so I love it . Thanks for making a safe space for us, can t wait to be back once I move
I have loved this gym for 25+ years!! They have the best trainers and work ethic of any gym- it's the Mecca would you expect anything else?
Don't let the hardcore environment fool you most people love to help people train. Say hello and ask anyone for help
Amazing place, lots of equipments available and nice group of trainers
Hey all. First off I agree with most of the comments about the gym and how it is a very real "Old-school' feel. The few times I have visited I always love seeing the posters on the wall full of back then champions of the Hey day of body building, Yes on occasion you will see a few of the older Body ...
Best gym, the history, the people, the size, the outside part. It s all awesome
I was a customer at Golds. Right after I started working out, I noticed rampant steroid usage going on in mens room. They have two cameras in mens room and if you go through last 1 month of footage you probably will see selling and needling going on. One trainer named is the boss of all steroid deal...
Applied for a guest pass and within 10 minutes got a phone call saying I was ineligible cause I was outside the local resident area even though I work down the street. Horrible customer service
Shame on Josh Fuglsby the regional Vice President of Gold s Gym west coast for charging Lee Priest a cover charge on top of that traveling all the way from Australia!
Historic place, numerous Mr. Olympiad had trained here.
No AC, bit dirty and expensive but a LOT of equipment
A must for every bodybuilder, unfortunately a bit more expensive the day ticket with 40 Doller!
Mythical gym, very friendly staff and they have clothes at a good price.
A very shareable environment with friends is very nice. Vicitelo recommends it to your friend Alex Cruz.
Had a great experience working out here! A great gym for working out - but be careful using credit- or debitcard here. I was gonna buy a proteinbar, and they charged me 60 dollar, instead of 2.50. Luckily i discovered this at once, and they said i would hear from someone the next day that would tran...
Very iconic place to workout at. To workout at the same place that famous body builders worked out was great. Can cross this off my bucket list.
Overall, the gym is very dirty and poorly management overcrowded with people looking at themselves in the mirror. If you want to get a good workout, look else where.
I never write reviews but this gym is a total scam. If you need to cancel the membership, make sure it get it in writing. The manag...
This is where it all started by all the great Body Builders. Super impressed! You will be inspired by all of the photos on the wall, and will get a good work out. I Love the outdoor space as well.
Applied for a 3 day pass and was told that I couldn't train there because I was a few miles of the 6 mile radius. Just moved here temporary and don't have a bill to prove my residence. Which it doesn't say that on the online application or email. Wasted precious to come here for nothing. Was plannin...
Maybe the best gym in the world. Very serious people inside and a lot of motivation.
If you're in to training in any capacity, you NEED to visit this place. A lot of the kit is old, it's a bit dated but there is a vibe like nowhere else. Think of your favourite bodybuilder/actor..... Chances are yo...
Love this spot, but the $40 guest passes are out of this world. I feel this is not necessary and this isn't a theme park. Get over yourselves Gold's gym front desk.
I love this gym...it's a gym. The staff works hard to keep it clean...you have machines for any type of cardio and heavy ass weights. The benches are a bit small. But if you want a gym...this is it! If you want a spa go to planet fitness.
3 stars ONLY because the history. Dont get me wrong, much respect to the place and the legends that have went here and the location where your bound to run into the rich and famous, but let's be real. A $40 day pass? And the gym is not clean by any means and all of the dumbbells are way out of place...
It's the original, crowded but cool, with no cut on it.
This is going to be my first google review ever since I started using it. Visiting and working out at the Gold's gym is a dream for those who loves weight training and the gym perfectly does its job. I wouldn't say they have the nicest and newest equipment but there is still any kind of stuff you wo...
Charging a legend that helped build what the business is today is outrageous ; you should be ashamed
Historical place, there is a shop at the entrance where you can buy gadgets, food, and equipment
Made for bodybuilding. Here are all possible exercise machines and weights in 3 large "rooms" plus patio. Here you will surely meet old Mr Olympia winners and other hearty meats. But most of them are regular exercisers. If you are lucky, Arnold is there in the morning and working out.
$ 25 for a pa...
It's a nice spot, a bit too structured in rigid rules for me, they will follow you around to see if you are following their rules! That kinda killed my workout zen, but it's spacious, nice vibe and often you will see celebrities here - I saw several fitness & body building stars here, also, the Rock...
Disappointed, it was the best Gym in L.A. many years ago, not anymore.
My husband is a professional body builder and it has been a dream of his to visit this mecca for years. Wonderful staff and so happy with the visit.
So proud to be apart of this gym!! Since the
Reopening they have done a fantastic job of keeping things clean and enforcing set protocol. I feel safe to return to my Venice location Gold's Gym. Thank you staff for your hard work! Now let's workout 2020
Long time member
a little bit expensive if you just go there one time... but... still worth the money ;)
It's a great place to get work done! I love that even when it's crowded you can still have a decent workout!
very large gym with everything you need for a great workout.
The Mekka of Bodybuilding - I loved my pilgrimage.
Old legendes, some professionals, a bunch of youtube fitness guys, lots of super physiques... and amazing vibes!
Was ist worth the 40 Dollar for a daypass? For me yes - considering the prices in L.A. In general AND that the cost might be a must so...
If you are looking for honest employee do not go there. Amanda will lie and make you believe anything just to sell memberships. Do not believe a word she said during membership process. Their 3d scan never worked in 3 month, boot camp are a joke. Besides all of that the gym is cool but I'll never ge...
Money grabbers, they only cate about getting money from people. They were built on people like Lee Priest, he even had his picture on the wall and they charged him full price. What a bunch of losers
Not the gold's gym Venice of old! Equipment old, no AC, more old people then young, not enough dumbells & all should be in 2.5 lbs increments.....gold's training staff are clueless
In LA and have any interest at all in gyms then this is a must for historic rains alone. Also a giant, superb gym
Disgusting that the staff charged a cover for the legend in this sport, to let Lee Priest have a workout at the place he helped create during his prime!!!
Been my gym for 20+ years. Please pick up your weights....
Colombia bring facilities to Colombians are the best I love them
$20 for a one-off visit. Worth grabbing a workout here if you know your stuff. Gym is massive and has everything, but theres all the memorabilia on the walls and you might even see Arnie
It's a good gym for getting that juicy chest pump, I usually warm up with 405 on the incline with Mike O Tren and then blast chest and tris afterwards.
I want to love it here but I just can't. I love a hardcore gym, but hardcore doesn't mean dirty and disorganized. Machines are run down, dumbells are never put back and scattered everywhere, same thing with weight plates.It's the only gym in my neighborhood and it has totally unmotivated me on every...
Kicked me out even though I am a member of this gym.
Great gym. Part of the iconic Venice landscape and culture
worked here briefly and left way too soon due to family issues, but i will say this, aside from me being grumpy all the time for being on prep, i cannot complain! you cant lift or work here and not be motivated! Diana was my supervisor which i prob drove insane lol but looking back at it all, it was...
Best gym in the world. This is where Arnold works out. You can frequently see bodybuilders here. You never know, the guy you just walk past can be a Mr. Olympia or Mr. Universe. Ultimate motivation. You can learn a lot simply by watching other people train.
Lots of great equipment. Always packed. A lot of people here that take their lifting seriously.
The bathrooms are about 5 years overdue for a complete redo, but this is by far the best gym in LA
Huge room! Not given the session, 40 euros but his cult so to do!
