I have been a member of Gold's Gym since 2003 when I moved to Venice. I have brought in many guests, and friends who have joined..... and will admit they have a good set of equipment....

But after being told "its cheaper if you pay in full" and STILL being charged $600/year versus my normal rate of $39.99($479/year) ... now they want to jack me up to $750/year or $65/month? I understand inflation, and the rate seems fair for new members.... but how can you NOT grandfather in your loyal members?? What is worse... I have a couple friends I work out with that pay monthly and their rate will NOT change! One of my friends is a member for only 2 years and paying $22 bi-monthly ($572). And her rate will not change! Why the HELL will my rate change JUST because I paid in FULL? What business would not prefer being PAID IN FULL?? This is POOR business and your going to piss off a LOT OF people!

I have dealt with their horrible staff, and never complained about it being dirty, unorganized, always tough to find matching dumbells, weights all over the place, and it's ALWAYS very cold, and their Internet hardly ever works even in 2018! Its not a nice gym, unlike any OTHER Gold's you have ever been to. And obviously they don't care at all about their members. I guess the only good part is that they are not still charging my card like I hear happens after you try to cancel.

Shame on YOU GOLDS GYM!
