Review of Golds Gym Duluth

I have worked and been a member at several gyms in the past, so when I'm gym hunting I know what to look for. I have done a wide variety of things which include member service, teaching classes, personal training, and managing a gym. These places included The Rush 24/hr. Fitness (they closed), Niles-Buchanan YMCA, FitZone, & Hulsey Wellness Center.

Gold's Gym is the best value for your money. They have a ton of equipment, so even at peak times you can get a good workout. I love all their functional training stuff like kettlebells, sand balls, medicine balls, box jump, BOSU, ab rollers, TRX Bands, pull-up rings, battle rope, and much more. My favorite is there pull-up rack. I also like that they're open 24 hours.

The staff are friendly but they also leave me alone. What do I mean by that? I can do some pretty crazy and intense things, but as long as I'm not hurting myself or putting anyone else in danger they let me be. I love being creative with my workouts and trying new things. I never feel judged. Nobody has ever come up to me and said, "I'm sorry you can't do that."

As far as daycare is concerned it's only and extra $10 to add on your children. That's next to nothing! I only have two kids, I think if you have 3 or more kids the price goes up a little, but that normal for most gyms. The daycare is opened every day, which shorter hours on the weekends.

Sabrina who runs the daycare is professional. She goes the extra mile. For Christmas they made ornaments, for Easter they made magnets, and for Mother's Day I received a nice picture from both my boys ages 2 & 4. It was really thoughtful. My boys are not in school or daycare, so they rarely have a chance to make crafts and bring them home.

The front desk people are awesome. I love that when I call they answer the phone by saying my first name. I like that my card information is on file, so if I want to purchase a shake or something, I don't have to run out to my van and get my wallet. I don't like bringing my wallet into the gym.

Andrew is cool and will always try to work with you to get you a good deal. Sure it's a business, and it can only stay open if they get members. Even though Andrew has monthly goals he's trying to reach, he doesn't do it by being a jerk or putting on unnecessary pressure. He makes you feel like a person and not just a business transaction.

I could go on, but that is a summary. I don't normally write reviews and I've been saying I was going to write one for the past 3 or 4 months. I'm just now getting around to it.

I hope you join. My name is Jaela and I LOVE Jesus and I LOVE people. If you see me come say hi.

Much Love,
Jaela
