Reviews of Gold's Gym Tampa (Gym)

Cece Silva

They like using big words and numbers to trap you in a contract. I rather deal with a car salesman.

Started my gym few months back with little confidence to begin with. Inspired by trainers such as Rob, Dimi who pushed us completing the complete workout in every boot camp installed confidence within us. Have a long way to go, and happy that I started my initial steps at right place

EdD BOgacki

Okay, can anyone say EWW!!? The owner (Ed I think?) is a total sicko. He's always eye raping me, and I've had it. Girls, do not waste your money. All girls clubs like shapes and fitness exists solely because of places like this! PUKE FEST! P.S. - the new equipment was great, but it already smells like dirty old man!

Brigitte Nelson Palmer

Great gym! I've been a member for a couple years now. I work out early mornings, and there is just enough people I never have to wait on machines. Gym is clean and the staff is friendly. The owner, Ed, has been a huge help on multiple occasions accommodating me when my job has sent me traveling out of state.

Kellian Gardner5

This gym is well-equipped and I have never had trouble finding an available machine to use. The gym is open practically 24 hours during the week, which is perfect for my busy schedule. The facility is clean and well-maintained, and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The owner, Ed Bogacki, is incredibly kind and is always willing to provided excellent suggestions on diet and supplements. I feel like I've found a gym for life and I would recommend this facility to everyone.

Edgar Torres

Great gym, great staff. Kid care is very helpful. Would recommend to all. Price is very affordable and staff works with you.

Nicholas Nagowski

Accomadating staff. Clean gym.

Rosana Alejo

Excellent facility! Great staff, in special Jerrod Gauthier my Personal Trainer. He is very professional and knowledgeable in his field keeping his clients motivated with one-to-one attention at all times. He's simply the best!

Gold's Gym Tampa has a great selection of equipment and everything you need for any type of workout. My favorite is the free weight area, they have it all! Convenient location and helpful staff as well. I would recommend.

Alexia Rivers

I've tried so many gyms but this is definitely my favorite. Rafael and his brother Roberto are always so friendly and helpful, keep me coming back to work up a sweat. Bodyflow with Adrienne is by far the best class I've taken here so far, it is a mix of yoga, Tai chi and pilates. I look forward to going to bodyflow all week! I love this gym and if you go I know you will too! (PS you can try it free with a guest pass)

Susan Fer

I do like I get a lot of men here

After going to Gold’s gym I feel so much more confident and comfortable with myself. I learned my limits and what I’m cable of doing to help my body. Cookie was so much help and she showed me different techniques and helped me see my true potential and was an execellent guide. She was so helpful and encouraging. I’m glad she was there to help me because if she wasn’t I would have given up and just left.

Jared Adams

I lived in Tampa over the summer because of an internship I was working. I’m a collegiate athlete and I really needed a trainer that could train me to increase my performance in my sport. Yahed was nothing short amazing. He offered me valuable advice and gave me critical feedback to increase my form on several power lifting techniques. I saw increases in strength in several areas and was able to adjust my training to be more efficient because of Yahed. Definitely recommend him!

Shania Rae Morales

Gold's is such an inviting place to be. Cookie is so awesome! She really made me feel confident going to the gym and now I have a membership. She is super motivating and I love when I go and she is there!

Mariana Correa

Martin did a great job making me feel confortable he's an awesome worker and I can't wait to train with him again

Michael Quintero

Ive been to alot of gyms. This one is clean and comes with all you need but I wish they had a place to do deadlifts.

Jenny Lopez

All I can say from this gym is 5 stars, from my favorite trainer Ms Renae to the cleaning stuff, I strongly recommend this gym to anyone who is really interested in improving phisical health and aperience this is the right place. Pl us they make yummy/healthy shakes!

Paul Spencer

I've been to many gyms around Tampa (and the US) and I call the Gold's Gym in Tampa my home gym. Gold's Tampa has a motivating, energetic environment no matter what time of day I show up. The new equipment is awesome, I always have a great workout. I highly recommend Gold's Gym Tampa.

Erick Elias

Its small, and i was not told about monthly maintenance charge. Staff is not friendly , first we applied for the gold membership and the girl who worked there gave us the basic membership. If someone open a real gym they would have my business

Tampa Kevin

I love this gym!! Gold's Gym @Waters and Dale Mabry has been my gym of choice for the past 3 years, and in that time they have not stopped making improvements with utilizing the best possible space, updating equipment, personal training areas and providing new classes for members. There is no perfect gym, including home gyms. But this gym does offer the tools to help people reach their health, strength and wellness goals. If you are looking to build strength, slim down or just maintain, the equipment and staff can help you achieve it. They keep striving for improvements, and the atmosphere is friendly and helpful. The classes are come as you are, they help you push yourself, and if you keep coming you will see and feel the results.

Nestor Correa

I've been a member for four months and the results i've achieved with my trainer Rudy are amazing. I feel and look healthier. Rudy motivates me trough my workouts and helps me push tru!!! His knowledge in exercise and fitness has helped me achieve a change in my overall lifestyle!

Jorge Vazquez

My overall experience in the golds gym was very enlightening one considering the fact I have not been in a gym over 10 years. The sedentary lifestyle consumed me over time. I lost the desire to push myself, but getting out and actually wanting to feel good and happy again was my motivation to step back in. I want to give also a special thanks to a trainer in there I met named Rudy whom introduced himself to me. This gentleman was very professional and greeted me with a warm welcome. My initial expression at first I thought when he initiated conversation with me was that he was going to try and pull that old cars salesman trick to get me to buying some products but instead he gave me a homely vibe, his enthusiasm and sincereness with his line of work. I can tell this man was very passionate about what he did.He also gave me pointers after talking with him about my experience and the goals I intended to have to keep motivated, and he also kept me safe while I was working out while walking by he noticed how off my form was and helped me with my form seeing me almost nearly throw my back out . Well not to drag on but in for future reference I will definitely recommend golds gym but also Rudy as well we not only need more sincere trainers but people as well if I had any questions I know next time I will not hesitate to ask for his assistance thank you some much Rudy God bless you.

Me and my fiancé have been members at golds gym in Tampa for a year and a half, and we can't say enough great things about it, very friendly and clean environment, the trainers really know what their doing, there's also a store on sight to get supliments and really good quality gym clothes, best of all, it's open 24 hrs, because of that the gym isn't packed shoulder to shoulder so nobody reall has to wait too long for equipment, also all the machines are in great shape and well maintained, Ed the owner is very accessible, and more than happy to communicate and reach out to his customers from what I've experienced, I've been to all the big and smaller gyms in Tampa, and I've got to say Golds Gym in Tampa is by far the best, and there membership rates are even better!

Kelly Sandifer

Best gym ever!!! The staff at this gym are truly AMAZING!!!! Shane, Omar and Jerrod are wonderful! If you are looking for a gym that truly cares about you then I promise you this is the gym!!!! I can tell you from personal experience that the staff at Golds Gym cares about each and every member. I had a family crisis and was not able to keep membership and Omar went above and beyond to help me! Omar listened to my issues and offered many different ways to try and help me. I was born and raised here and I have been a member of many gyms and NO gym has ever treated me with such kindness like Golds Gym did! It's not about the money with this gym it's truly about helping people. I will defintely return to this gym as soon as I can. Thank you again to Omar for being truly amazing and helping me. Also thank you to Shane for being so awesome when I signed up and thank you to Jerrod an amazing personal trainer!

Cathryn Ellison

very clean gym, helpful friendly staff that always greet you if they are at the counter when you walk in. never really packed at all which is nice vs like a LA Fitness. updated equipment and plenty of it. and very reasonable with price and super laid back atmosphere.

jessica campbell

Do not do not do not trust the people that work at this gym, ESPECIALLY omar. He come off as this happy go lucky friendly type but he is a SCAMMER!!! He not only lies to the customer, he lies to the OWNER Ed! I did not like my trainer ron after the first few weeks i started with him so i told omar I wanted out, I reminded him that i MADE SURE i would be able to if i went ahead and tried a personal trainer when omar started me at the gym. He could not deny that he told me this so instead he convinced me to try another month with ron, i did so for 4 months with me telling him i want out at the end of every month and he kept telling me to try another month. I found out from ron (who i witnessed on 4 different times is a bully to the other ppl who work at the gym, shane, who had to leave after awhile of it) that the owner found out i wanted to leave the training after 1 month TOLD OMAR TO LET ME STOP the first month, Ed is a nice person but has BAD ppl working for him! so, like many others on her i find out after a year gone almost, omar DID NOT cancel my membership so im getting charged again, He said he "forgot to cancel me after i requested" when i called.

Josue Marante

Amazing service, very nice people and good equipment.

Mental By Netiera Danise

The trainers are awesome! They make you feel welcomed and enthusiastic about getting back into shape. The boot camps with Roberto, Jared, and the other trainers have been amazing. The keep you pumped up and ready to come back for more. I love this place, so far so good!

OEG Productions

Have been going to gyms for more than 10 years. Place look a little filthy on the restrooms and some places; needs better cleaning. But one major problem. How can you have a Gym with just one equipment for calves; just one in the entire gym (There are other equipments missing). I think this gym needs an upgrade and someone that can analyze the small space and rearrange it better.

Meg Rafferty

I'm focused on feeling good physically. I go to Gold's even 30mns. and it helps to lift my spirits. It's a simple formula, that works for me. Thanks Ed & staff.

jim Fish

Well equipped, trained , helpful staff. Recommend engaging in programs, hire a trainer to realize the total value and enjoy the total gym experience. Jesus R., excellent motivator , trainer/coach.

cece

They like talking big words and numbers to confuse people. I would much rather deal with a car salesman.

Dj Bruda

Decent gym. Older equipment. Biggest downside is going during the afternoon to beat the busy hours only to find a school or class taking up a large majority of the gym. Just always seems busy and uncomfortable when they're there. Staff is super friendly though. Tony is great.

Aimee Nunez

I recently moved to the Tampa area and have had the privilege of being trained by Cookie for the past few months- it has been one of the best decisions I have made! No matter how I feel when I get there, her enthusiasm and support throughout our sessions gets me motivated and gets me through! She is always willing to go above and beyond to provide tips on how to live a healthier lifestyle and make small adjustments to see big results. I feel blessed to have found Cookie here at this gym. 10/10! Thank you, Cookie!

ben t

Great gym without all the frills and hoopla of some of the "club" type gyms sprouting up all over tampa. Gold's is the place to go to actually work out and not just be "seen" wearing overpriced workout gear. And I'd like to dispute an earlier reviewers comments about difficulty reaching the owner- Ed. Ed has twice now gone above and beyond to accommodate my wife and I during some difficult financial times. His generosity and kindness are not things you come to expect in this day and age where customer service seems long and forgotten. Nothing but great things to say about Golds Tampa.

Russell Huston

The owner can be volatile and unpleasant when he's having a bad day. The place feels old, but appears clean.

Gabby Maffei

Love Golds gym Tampa. Friendly staff that are always happy to answer your fitness questions. One particularly helpful employee is Martin, he is very knowledgable when it comes to the machines! Love the fitness classes the trainers really keep you motivated. Not to mention you don't have to worry if you forget your headphones because they play great music

Stuart Tabman

I have been looking for a good gym to join and decided to try out golds. The staff was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable and at home. The gym was also very well-equipped and very clean. So the decision was easy to become a member of Golds

Eduardo Ortiz

I've tried other gyms in the Tampa area but I had to come back to Gold's. They've got great, clean equipment and tend to be less crowded. Friendly staff that greet you on your way in and out. Ed, the owner, is great to work with and truly just wants to see you achieve your fitness goals.

Theresa Laing

Super nice staff...extreamly clean and kept up nicely! Just signed up think I'll really Like it here!

Alex Morales

It is great they are the nicest people I've ever met and very very helpful. The president management and staff are the nicest people I've ever met. knowledgeable and courteous I have nothing but good things to say about golds gym especially the Tampa branch

kenzilla baker

Where to even begin... this gym is awesome. I have over 12 years experience working in gyms and Golds reigns supreme in the Tampa area. The owner is what really separates this gym from the pack. He constantly adds new , state of the art equipment, hires friendly and enthusiastic staff (like Shane Downs, Omar, and PT Ron Emory)... I'm excited to hear about a new location opening in Largo also!!! It just gets better!!!

Nessa C

This Gold's Gym is the best gym I have ever been apart of. And Rudy, the personal trainer is knowledgeable, encouraging and makes me enjoy working out! A+

Ellen Davis

Gold's Gym Tampa is great! I've never felt so welcome and comfortable in a gym before Gold's. The staff is super friendly, Ed(the owner) was readily available to answer any questions, and the equipment is top notch. I've noticed a major improvement in my self and in my goals since going to Gold's. I would recommend this gym to anyone :).

Rhyan Del Monte

Looks like a great gym so far... Had a bad experience coming back after two years that I was absent due to moving to another city.. This operation should definitely not be ran by an unprofessional manager like Johnny Huynh making illogical decisions and more than likely not aware of what his own advertisements states on his website... but no more time to waste lets work out!!!

Bobby Thompson

This the only gym for me . I have tried Crunch and you fit neither of them comes close to Golds gym.I have the best personal trainer in the . I would like to give a big thumbs up and five stars. My experience working with Mr. Ron Emery as my trainer has been awesome .He very professional and considerate and I get plenty of great advice on healthy eating as well.I know that I can and will achieve my goals working with such a knowledgable trainer.

Marjorie Torres

Best gym ever!!! I come here for classes and to use their cardio machines. Very female friendly atmosphere. Not overly crowded or full of testosterone muscle heads... Martin the sales associate there is friendly and would recommend him to anyone looking to join there.

Chris Landry

Read your contract if you absolutely have to go here, there's not many options for gyms in the area unfortunately. A 60 day notice needed to cancel, even after your year contract is up, must be paid in full too. No more contract gyms for us. Could be much cleaner, equipment is so so, lacking on equipment options, only a few friendly employees. Dennys and Jay were their best employees, they are probably somewhere much better now. Do yourself a favor and find a better gym. They could use a renovation too, this was my least favorite Gold's Gym experience so far.

marco echevarria

I've had a great experience overall. The bathrooms are top notch and i enjoy the variety of classes available. I took a star off because during the weekdays there are A LOT of people and not an abundance of machines. The weights room get very crowded also, making it awkward to find a place to use weights. Its a very nice gym but again, it get very busy but it something you'll have to deal with.

Allisa Amey

Being new to the area, I had been looking around for a great gym in the Tampa area, and I'm very glad I found this one! It's always clean and the staff is super friendly and helpful. Cara Carly walked me through the different package options to make sure that I was getting the one best suited for me. I definitely recommend this gym if you are looking to get in the best shape of your life, and be surrounded by people on the same mission!

April Van Buren

Love this gym, having such a great experience. Staff is always friendly, smiling and outgoing. Every Wednesday they have a massage therapist with her chair give FREE 10 min massages to their customers. Golds offers Free spin classes, Zumba classes, LesMills classes, FREE child care. And to top it all off I have the MOST INCREDIBLE personal trainer EVER!!! Onelio Eddy Rodriguez is caring, attentive, motivating and makes sure I getting exactly what I pay for!! Would recommend that you sign up today!!!

Renae pieper

This gym I must say, is my very favorite!The standard of cleanliness is the best I've seen In any gym. That is One of the reasons I work here. The staff and Golds fitness knowledge /standards of greatness and support , Will keep the average person going back to complete the task. Just retired ? We have the classes for you to gain strength and balance so that you can enjoy your new found freedom. Make time for just you, come in and see us. Baby boomers we have a Golds challenge for you.

Simon Stamper

Friendly staff. Clean facility. Great selection of weights, machines, etc...

dennis diaz

Best place in town, managers always on top of everything,cleanliness and organization A+. Completely affordable, about 7 types of group exercise lessons (FREE). Guest privileges. I currently have a membership for over a year and had no complaints, I've been on crunch, planet fitness, youfit, my experince at golds gym on waters is by far the best. The owner is always on the floor(HANDS ON MANAGEMENT) omar great attitude and always willing to accomodate their guests necessities. Ron best trainer ever. Dont look around for other gym, go straight to golds gym in waters ave. (I dont have any affiliation to them other that my membership)

Daniel A.

Great gym. Clean, and staff is amazing. Trainers helped me no questions ask 10/10!

Tyler Scagel

Great staff, personal service. I looked at 10 different gyms in the area before choosing Golds Gym. It had a community feel, nice options for class work outs, and friendly and affordable personal trainers ready to work with you. I'm excited to get started!

Roberto Jimenez

I am a member of Golds Gym and started dieting in May 2016 and exercising with the dieting in July 2016 . I am in my 60’s and working out with Roberto is a blast, he strives to make it fun and different to keep me interested and goal oriented . I have lost 60 pounds of unwanted weight and I really can’t believe my progress in changing my body shape- It has changed my life . My health has improved drastically and I have a lot more confidence in myself. I have learned the correct way to eat and the proper way to work out with Roberto as my coach. Marsha Collins

Mish Garcia

About 2 month ago I started my training with Cookie! So far she been everything that I could have asked for in a trainer! She motivates me, encourages healthy habits and always suggest great tips that truly are effective. I really do feel blessed to be able to have a trainer as understanding and friendly as she, I’m so glad she’s by my side as I go through this journey!

Jo Tyner

After 4 years of no gym, I'm back at Gold's. Thank you Cara for the awesome experience. Love the atmosphere and people at Tampa's Gold Gym!

Michelle Straatmann

Mr.Shane Downs is an excellent employee. His love for the job shows thru his work . He is very knowledgeable about his work. He is fun to be around . Thanks Shane

Linda Peterson

At Gold's Gym, there are all ages and levels of fitness. Everyone is there to get fit, and it is great to see that focus. The staff always greet me and always say goodbye, and the instructors are so helpful and encouraging. I just renewed my membership and I didn't even think about going anywhere else.

Joy Rodriguez

I have to say one on the best gyms in Tampa. My mother and I joined a few months ago and it couldn't be any better. So many things to do in that gym from zumba class, weights, to training with a personal trainer. I do recommend this gym for anyone wanting to change there lifestyle and become more healthier. They have a nice little bar where you can get your protein shakes and bars. The personal trainers are amazing and very nice, they know what they are doing. So head on down there. I'm pretty sure your going to like it.

Tim Merritt

Run.away. I worked out here for over a year. I purchased a trainer package and was not satisfied. Went through 3 trainers. One quit, I don't know what happened to the other one. I had 30 minute sessions and they always tried to end early. I went in and told them I wanted to cancel my membership. They told me they would cancel and that was that. OVER A YEAR LATER I realized money was still being charged to my credit card. (My fault for not checking my account summary). Called to find out why the hell that would happen and they offered no resolution or remorse. I wouldn't go back here if I was paid to work out at this gym. EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED

Shanna Thompson

I'm training with Ron Emery. Can't get a better guy to push you to reach your goals. He's the man to see. The gym itself has great equipment and great staff. Get your butt there!

Jane Cox

Golds is always good but this place needs to be a little more "customer friendly"!!

Daryl Dillon

Good gym. It had all the Iron I needed to build Quality Muscle & the owner is a Great Guy.

CJ J

I decided to join Gold’s Gym when I saw a discounted rate on Groupon in August. I was mainly interested in taking the Les Mills group fitness classes. I met with a team member who offered me an even better deal then the Groupon I had purchased and got it refunded. After discussing my goals he thought I should meet a trainer there that had lost over 100lbs in 7 months Roberto Jimenez. Originally I had no interest in getting a trainer due to the cost. They offered me a discounted rate on the sessions and didn’t pressure me any further to train. I decided after talking with Roberto I could some instruction and encouragement and signed up. Training with Roberto has been amazing he switches the workouts up and even has me doing moves I find fun. I’ve been doing moves and increasing my weights in a way I’ve never thought I’d be able to. Roberto is a really good person and very encouraging and tells my progress in real time “wow you could only do like 10 seconds of that previously before giving up, and now you just did 30 at full strength like it was nothing”. It’s not only good job, but instead actual feedback on specific moves or increase of added weights to machines. It was obvious from the beginning that Roberto cares and hearing his personal story of weight and seeing his pictures from before in very inspiring.

ms lele

Over all it's an okay gym but don't let them win u over with a trainer it's 3000 if u want to cancel having a trainer they don't have a print out of there contract so u can't read the fine print to know there hidden fees or I would never sign also the trainers that's there really don't get Along with each other some of the people or cashier that greet you sometimes not in a good mood but if u do go just get a membership and go to there workout classes there free and good as well.

Helen Sparks

I love this gym! I work out here all the time. Everyone is friendly and the staff are great. I have and will continue to recommend it to all of my friends.

Petra Roach

Staff and management at Golds Gym is very helpful and friendly. They have a great facility with lots of updated equipment and I enjoy the group classes. Trainers are very supportive and will motivate you to reach your fitness goal. Great place to work out.

Matthew Baker

I love getting pumped at golds gym the atmosphere is great because of the employees positive influence and lets not mention all the equipment that is always there when we need it! I'm actually going up there now staying dedicated to this challenge!

Rolando Kirk

Great gym, very clean and up to date. Very friendly staff and management. Very knowledgeable staff as well. Equipment is in great condition. I recommend Golds Gym to anyone.

army soldier

What is the best kind of cookies to buy here? All I keep reading about is cookie this and cookie that. They must have some really good cookies

John Kennedy

As an out of state Gold’s Gym member, I feel this gym doesn’t hold up to the standard of other Gold’s Gyms. There is a towel policy in place in order to workout. Either you must bring your own towel or purchase a towel to use on the equipment. My observation after working out here for 4 days was that this towel policy is only enforced at the door and not on the workout equipment. This made me feel like I was trapped to purchase a towel from the gym or not workout if I did not bring an extra equipment towel. The male locker room is not well lit, and the showers have barely any water pressure. I did not find it worth showering here. Lastly, a single day workout pass costs $20. Comparatively to other Gold’s Gyms, a typical 24 hour pass costs $15 and includes better amenities. To end on a positive note, the equipment is varietal. There are good selections of barbell equipment, dumbbells, seats, benches, cable machines, and a functional fitness area. I recommend this gym, but suggest a lower day pass cost and upgrade the male locker room.

Sarah Midden

Make sure to read the fine print in the contract. I moved and was trying to cancel my membership, and it has been the worst experience. Two months notice as well as a $250 cancellation fee? Not to mention I drove all the way there to cancel in person and was told that it was closed (while the on duty manager was giving a tour during open hours and while people were working out). The gym and lack of equipment was not enough to justify this ridiculous cancellation process. At least with LA you just have to send a letter.

Paulo Araújo

Gold’s Gym is good place to work out they have modern equipment and very clean bathrooms.

Michael Vogt

If you have not been in Gold's Gym Tampa in a while then you need to come back and check this place out. The owner of Gold's Gym Tampa totally renovated this gym last year. They have added all new machines, free weights, spin bikes. They now offer cross fit cage classes as well as Les Mills Group Exercise classes. They remodeled all of the locker rooms, they even have a sauna in the locker room. They put in all new flooring throughout the gym and painted the entire facility. I love working out here during the week when I train with Edgar, who is a Fantastic personal trainer. However Saturday mornings are my favorite workout day. I like to start with Boot Camp training 1st thing in the morning to get my blood pumping, then I like to do Jessica's Yoga Class, then Shari's Les Mills Body Combat class and end the day with an Awesome Massage with Sierra. (YES they have massage here 7 days a week too!) GOLD'S GYM TAMPA ROCKS!!!!!

Brenda Lynn

This location has an excellent staff very helpful and friendly. The facility is always clean, and you can't beat the price!

Amy Torres

I am currently training with Ron Emery for an upcoming fitness challenge. Achieving success in this challenge is incredibly important to me, so I found it imperative to seek out a very well qualified and professional trainer to coach me in this process. Ron came highly recommended to me as he has a proven track record of success and results with his clients. I must say that they were right! Ron is admirably punctual, respectful of my time and laser focused on my performance during our sessions. While he is personable and approachable, he is also very professional in both behavior and image projection. He represents the Gold's gym brand and culture very well. I am motivated by his passion for what he does and his genuine excitment to see his clients reach their goals. I plan to continue training with Ron even once my fitness challenge has been completed.

Arielle Phillips

Golds Gym team is super helpful! I fell off of my work out routine for a few months due to personal reasons and when I wanted to come back they welcomed me with open arms and helped me get right back on track. Definitely the best gym to work out at in Tampa!

John Pullen

This gym is a Tampa staple! I have been coming here since I was a young kid. It has all the charm of Tampa and is run by Ed and Omar who are respected leaders in the local community and are honorable business men. Ron is an excellent trainer and these guys go out of their way to make sure that you are taken care of. If you are looking for a gym to call home this is the place.

Zoila Amos

this gym is great, the employees are very charming and helpful. i recommend it to anyone look for a gym with great machines. plus theres this really cute guy named johnny...good muscles...a great gym.

kiki lulu

Doing the free trial and so far so good, but really don't like how this gym is much smaller then most, but charges around $30 a month to bring a friend when most gyms only charge $20. Also I don't like that I have to be in a year contract, situations in life happen that people can't control, but to keep charging a customer regardless of the reason their leaving is just wrong. Also they need a 60 day head notice before leaving, I haven't even joined yet and I can already tell that this gym is pushy, and money hungry.

Benjamin McCluskey

Where do I start, this gym is what I think about when I think of the perfect gym. It started with the location and excellent location, so close to my work. It quickly moved to the awesome energy and knowledge that you get from the trainers here, they are eager to help and will to take time with you. Also they understand what you are striving for and they WILL get you there and further, while having fun. Roberto is my PT and he is focused on helping me achieve my goals and makes every session challenging (& somehow fun). My fitness has increased noticeably and I’ve seen improvements in my ability to complete more core exercises, lift progressively heavier weights & generally push myself harder throughout each session. I find I actually look forward to my workouts now thanks to him. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a personal trainer!

Solondria Morris

I moved to the area, joined golds gym, and COOKIE was my appointed personal trainer. And it was great health at first sight. Two months in ...13 pounds down, body fat % down, blood pressure down and lean mass up. Love her except on leg days

Laura Roe

Don't expect any customer service after you've become a member. Also, beware the annual "maintenance fee" of around 50$. They don't tell you about it when you sign up and automatically charge it without you authorization. Trying to get it refunded is impossible. If you need to cancel your membership you have to do it in person with the owner who is nigh impossible to contact (I was just hung up on by the front desk when I asked to be transferred to his voicemail). My experience with the gym was actually fairly decent until I moved away and needed to cancel. The facilities are decent and the class instructors were great. Gym staff has no authority to actually do anything with your membership - and that's a problem.

john chavez

Golds Gym on Waters and Dale Mabry is flat out Amazing. the fact that I can finish work at 3 am, and Still have access to a state of the art gym facility is Mind Boggling. The smith Machines are the finest you will find (super pricey smith machine is wide and glides on track) This club pays homage to the original Golds Gym in California by offering a un-matched selection of heavy dumbells that are not available at other gyms. The split floor plan puts the heaviest free weights in the weight room on right. and all the intermediate and assisted machinery on the left. I like this because it gives members of different intensity levels their own space to be comfortable in. Ed(the owner) has shown consistency in always providing his members with top of the line equipment and amenities. they have a large contraption called a TRX machine. I see trainers using it with members all the time. due to work on the road I'm forced to use other competitors gyms. No TRX machines in those gyms. not even a little bit. I don't do much cardio. however I watch people do cardio. the cardio machines are new and plenty. I never see anyone waiting. they offer all kinds of classes in the group exercise rooms. always looks like a good time in there. I have trained in this gym on and off over 5 years now. The staff has always been top notch. 4 years ago I had the pleasure of being trained by Shane Downs. he taught me advanced techniques that propelled my fitness to the next level. free weight squat, ham glutes raise, and most importantly, symmetry! my mother is 69 with osteoporosis and Shane even had a specific program to strengthen her rotator cuffs. I see Shane Downs almost daily now. He is there sun-thur from 1pm to 9pm. he loves his members, just like I love my homeowners (i fix home ac units) Now a days, Shane does not exclusively train. he specializes in members satisfaction. he is available for current members as well as potential new members. Shane is one of a kind. make sure you ask for him. in closing I have to take a moment to thank Ed the owner. thank you sir. I have watched you for the last 5 years. you have cut no corners, you have spared no expense. I remember when the machines were all white. I love the spirit of the original Golds Gym i find, as I gaze to all of the artwork in the heavy weight room. you still run a pro shop with smoothies and actuall nutrition when other gyms are shying away from the concept. You are open 24 hours for us NightOwls. your club performs when the competition refuses to perform, and that is where you truly find Prestige. Ed you strive to give your members the absolute best value for thier hard earned money. I salute you sir.

I've been with Golds for 5 yrs. It has improve, but it could get better if employees didn't look so miserable.

Santiago J. Serrato

OMAR the General manager is the SO genuine and was so wonderful to me.. i can't boast enough about the people behind this gym. Go to this gym, you wont regret it.

Juan Swing

This gym has horrible billing standards. You speak to a rep cancel your membership and 7 months later they continue billing you. And then say you signed a year contract not month to month. Beware of what the sales people are making you sign. There is no month to month in this place. What a scam AFS and GOLDS GYM.

If you have not been to Gold's Gym Tampa in a while you need to go check them out. The place looks great. The staff is professional. The manager Omar made coming back to the gym a pleasure. The 12 week challenge is a great way to get back into shape while building comaradry with the other contestants. Highly recommended!

Slumppy

I had the best welcome from Edwin at the gym, this guy is the best and made my one session very pleasant. The gym has anything you should need for bodybuilding: two squat racks, a very good incline press, all the benches you'll ever need, every standard machines and a great crossfit area. The coaches are nice guys also.

Fred Raubfogel

Great people. Roberto and Edwin are our motivators. Always clean and not too crowded. I would recommend this gym to anyone.

Matthew kaiser

Shane is the most dedicated trainer I have ever seen. He treats his body like a temple and imparts that knowledge on others like a true professional.

Cynthia Gibbs

I have not been at Golds Gym very long but the small amount of time i have been there have used above and beyond customer service . Great attitudes and positive vibes . and it is owed by an amazing guy Ed Bogacki ! the managers are all very generous and understanding ! i would recommend it to anyone looking for a great gym with great trainers great management and commitment

Angélica Pinzón

Gold's gym Tampa changed my life. Two years ago I came into Golds with the goal of getting in shape to be able to join the Military. I was 33 y/o, 120lbs and couldn't do 1 push-up! With the help, support, guidance and experience of Omar and Jerrod, I was able to accomplish my dream. It was a long run, lots of work and commitment, but now I am an active duty member of the Navy, in better shape than people 10 years younger than me. Thank you guys!

cassie molina

Awsome staff! Clean place to workout! Class instructors are good and keep you engaged in the workout. And I love that you are able to purchase a protein shake after your workout.

Aaron Hawkins

By far the best gym in Tampa! Great staff and up to date equipment. I would recommend this place to anyone that enjoys working out. The personal trainers are very knowledgeable and help accomplish the goals you are looking for! Look no further!

Anthony McIntosh

I have been going to this gym for some time now. Good selection of equipment and the staff is very knowledgeable and inviting. Keep up the good work!

Tiffani Bogacki

I love working out at golds! The gym is huge, super clean and the classes are amazing.

Robert Ankuma

This gym has been excellent ever since I joined 3 years ago. I have never had a single issue. The staff is awesome.

Joshua Ramos

Best gym I've ever been to. Highly recommend it to those who are beginning to workout. Also the trainers there are great ( especially Roberto) they really care for you and they make sure that you are making progress.

Sara Elbe

I am so glad I joined this gym! The facility is clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful, especially my Trainer Rudy. His personable and patient approach to training is so refreshing. He pushes me to go beyond my limits and keep going. After a long absence from the gym I am finally excited about working out again! I couldn't be happier with my progress so far and can't wait for what's to come.

Rose Sandoval

The professional are always considerate. When they say hello, they do it in a way that makes you think you are one of them, not just a client!!

MS DEBRO SHOW D

I enjoy working out at Gold's Tampa. The entire staff is great from the front of the house to the back. What I like the most is that Gold's Gym offer so many different classes to get you where you want to be if your dedicated. Kuddos to all I've had the most dealings with Mr. Ed ,Omar.Jared(My Trainer) and Big Shout out to Ron who trained me as well , I say "Get the membership ",if its on your mind.....Stephanie

Chris martin

Great gym

Katherine P

This gym and its owners made me feel at ease right away when it came to my weight loss journey. There was no judgment, just honesty and encouragement. The owner Ed has been wonderful in answering any of my questions and concerns in a timely and empathetic manner, and to me that speaks volumes! Even in a gym setting, customer service is incredibly valuable and important! Just on those experiences alone, I would highly recommend this gym to anyone. You can get personal training anywhere, but the customer service pushes this easily above the rest.

Linsey Chambers

Had an amazing experience! Rafael was extremely helpful and made me feel so comfortable with joining the gym. I cannot wait to start my new healthy lifestyle.

Mich Mart

Omar the manager told me that he was doing me a favor when I opened the membership I only paid $ 20 and when I canceled they charged me a fee of $ 60

bella hardee

The women’s bathroom here has some terribly disgusting elements to it. The shower curtains look like they haven’t been changed in 10 years, there’s dried snot, what looks like dried blood, and an array of other disgusting stains on them. I don’t get it, shower curtains are less than $10, why do they not have a policy to change them regularly? I bet if you leave a stain on one of them you will find it after three years... horrendous. The other thing is the area by the hair dryer and the scale in the women’s rest room. It looks like no one has bothered with that area in decades. There is dust and stains galore you almost want to throw up after getting on the scale or drying your hair. Such stains could be very easily fixed by a simple wipe down every other day. I just don’t get it. I will remove this review if I notice that anyone has started to give a darn about the cleanliness of these two areas

Hannah Brenen

Tried out this gym since they offer a free week pass online. Went in to activate it and the staff was not friendly or helpful. Didn't give me a tour or explain the facilities at all. The girl who was helping me started speaking in Spanish to another coworker while she was in the middle of helping me, so rude!

micheline vega

Ladies if you really care about your kids don't even think about getting a membership here. I left only one time my 4yrs old there and she got hurt by an older kid i don't blame on the kids the childcare is too small and there is not light big kids running around hitting little kids. i got the membership a week ago i went to get the refund the manager Peter asked me why i wanted to cancel my membership i told him about what happened and he told me it wasn't a good reason to cancel it plus he called me a liar that i was making up stories in the contract you have 3 days to cancel it to get the refund but they avoided me those 3 days so my boyfriend went there told them to keep the money. No one ever in my life treat me the way the manager did worst gym ever the childcare, the staff and they only have few machines to workout your legs.

Jason A Griffith

Been here for years....Pricing great for membership & a plus it's 24hrs except Sunday closing at 8 but reopens 5am Monday morning

Aftiam R.

Awful communication. It took me over 2 days to get a response from the president saying he couldn't tell me the cost of the gym unless I came in. Terrible experience with the team. I couldn't imagine giving them any money if they are so dispersed in their communication and non believers in the internet. I will gladly take my money else where since they do not want it.

Michel Martin

be careful, there is a cancellation fee that they never told me until I wanted to cancel jjee and they charged me more than what I paid with the subscription

Felix Ortiz

I was visiting from out of state.. Great Place to work out its 24hrs from Monday thru Thursday Its small but has eveything you need to work out. Staff and management very friendly. I totally recomend this Gym

Kevin Mccaig

Best gym in town. Plenty of well kept up equipment so you aren't waiting to use everything even during peak times. The staff is friendly and the gym is clean.

Jordan Green

Great gym, great value. Lots of amenities . Highly reccomend for those who are serious about their fitness.

Virgil Havice

Have lost 24 pounds in 2months thanks Roberto my personal trainer diet and exercise praise God thank you

Caesar Mejillones

The best in Tampa. The personalTrainers are very knowledgeable and eager to help you achieve your goals. I would recommend it to my family and friends.

Kaneki Ken

When I went to go signup the employee, Shane was really friendly with me even though I'm pretty young (13). The next day I went to workout for the first time in an actual gym and fell in love with the place because the employees and members were some of the friendliest people I've met, and Shane was really enthusiastic about helping me. Looking forward to coming whenever I can!

robert gannon

Excellent lineup of free weights, weight & aerobic machines, cycling. Great list of fitness & spin classes available. Very clean & well maintained, showers & sauna.

Jay Gee

They have great hours for people who are always busy throughout the day. Martin and John are great and are always helpful.

Vanessa Casanova

I love golds gym. I love the friendly atsmosphere, how accomodating they are in any circumstances and they have the best group classes and instuctors. I used to go to La fitness and pay twice as much!

Saryna Nissen

Martin was very nice, professional, and sweet. I highly recommend golds gym.

Terry Loyd

Seriously love this gym! I have been going here for a little under a year and hands down, can tell you it is one of my favorite gyms I have worked out in, and had a membership at. While I'm in Tampa will most definitely be sticking with them. They have amazing trainers and staff, they have tons of equipment, it is a great atmosphere where you’re encouraged to push yourself, their hours are perfect for all types of schedules whether you like to work out early in the am or late at night (which is my preference), also to top it all off they always have great deals and fantastic prices. As a package probably one of the best gyms in Tampa and definitely one of my favorites out of all the ones I have been too whether it is up north or down south. The owner Ed, is super helpful, nice, and friendly as are all the staff and trainers. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone looking for a place where they can be motivated to work out and get fit, they have such a diversity of classes and machines that anyone would be happy and extremely satisfied being at Golds.

Shayc

I did personal training at Golds Gym with Dimitri and he is the best. I lost an overall 15 lbs and body fat. At first I did not notice the difference as you dont see results but others who know noticed and I started getting compliments. Everyone was asking me what Im doing and saying how Ive Lost wight and look great. Dimitri pushed me and held me accountable to my workout plan , healthy diet and regimen.

Shannon Starr

HERE WAS MY INITIAL REVIEW.....The class variety is the best! That's why I chose this gym...everyday there are several different classes to choose from and it's never monotonous. The instructors are so motivating, they keep me going when I don't think I can last another minute. NOW A COUPLE MONTHS INTO MY MEMBERSHIP AND MY ACCOUNT IS BEING OVERCHARGED AND I CAN'T GET ANYONE TO RETURN A PHONE CALL TO EXPLAIN WHY. I WILL BE IN CANCELLING MEMBERSHIP TOMORROW. IF THEY CAN'T RETURN A PHONE CALL WHEN THEY HAVE OVERCHARGED MY ACCOUNT I DON'T NEED TO GIVE THEM MY BUSINESS.

Patricia Lee

You guys rock !!! Thank you so much for working with me through my difficult time

Rudy Nandez

I am a personal trainer here at "the Gold's" and my experience has been a blessing thus far. Amazing atmosphere to be a part of...very thankful to Ed Bogacki (Owner) and Omar Torres (GM) for giving me the opportunity to join the team and shine.

A AA

I would recommend this gym to anyone and everyone at any stage in his/her fitness journey. Not only do I see all types of people here including kids because of the daycare, the staff is hands down fantastic, warm and welcoming. The owner, Ed, honestly made me cry with his generosity. You can just tell that this gym is more than weight machines to him. I have released so much stress here and I'm so grateful to have this space. Thank you Ed Bogacki and team for all you do!

Eslam Elfateh

Great gym and great stuff. Very kind people I spoke with the general manager at Largo branch and he is very kind and respectful man. Also Martin and Rafael helped me so much and answered all my questions. I really recommend this gym!

Tom Kirkland

One of my favorite gyms in Tampa. Always clean, organized and staff is very helpful! Keep up the good work.

Rafael Jimenez

After training here for over 20 years and loving the place I now have the privilege and pleasure of working here... Need I say more? Great gym! Great team! I would recommend it to everyone.

Leticia Carrasquillo

Love to be at a gym where results are the goal (not pizza and bagel Weds where they keep you coming back for the wrong reasons

Mirian Muñoz

I have been working with Cookie for three months. I really love how she trains her clients and not only cares for them as clients but as a friend truly sharing knowledge, motivation, and structure. She always has great tips to share in all my individual needs of my fitness journey and life. I love attending Gold’s Gym with her by my side, I would recommend her to anyone 110%!
