The payment company and this gym will rob you of your money. I cancelled with them, then they renewed me without my permission while never mentioning to me they needed something in writing. Thats correct, you need to cancel in writing for a gym membership. You dont need to do this for utilities. The staff isnt helpful or knowledgeable of this process nor were they ever any good when I did go to this gym. If they are still selling smoothies beware! Ive seen dogs behind and on the counter multiple times in the evenings with no one around. The gym isnt clean and Doc hates any friendly suggestions made to him. This gym is by far the worse business in the area and should be closed. Stay away.

After multiple attempts to call the gym and cancel my membership I finally went in person and had the membership canceled. That was 6 months ago and they are still drafting fees from my bank account.To make things worse I called the number for the general manager the owner gave me in their response to this review. The GM told me the membership could not be canceled at the gym and that I would have to reach out to the billing company. The billing company told me the membership could be canceled by email but it would take 30 days. It would be nice if even the owner or the GM knew his companys own cancelation policy.

The gym and the staff are great but who they use as a payment processor is terrible. They use peak payment, and its the absolute worst. I moved to Idaho 7 months ago, and they still havent let me cancel. I provided all the proper paperwork, but they ignore your emails. I’ve emailed them over 100 times this past seven months, and they’ve only emailed me back twice. Now they want to charge me a $50 cancellation fee even though I fulfilled my original two-year contract. I’ve been trying to tell them that for the past three weeks... but again, they ignore you until your contract automatically renews. Cancellations should be a lot simpler. Again, the gym and staff are great, but it’s easier to get out of a military contract than getting out of this one.

Definitely enjoy working out at this Gold’s Gym, With me being a strength and conditioning coach and sports performance I’m very picky about gym settings, but this Gym gives you that motivation to go hard💪🏽

Will bait and switch you on signup. Tell you on the phone the price is x and when you get there it is Y. They will tell you you get $50 off, but then the $50 is given to you as overpriced powders/supplements. The sneak a auto-renew clause in the contract. Then when you go to cancel they tell you that it must be in writing and 30 days notice, so you will have to pay them again.

I’ve been a member at this location for over 20 years. The name has changed several times as well as ownership. I feel very qualified to rate the current gym and it’s excellent management and staff. The manager, Dock is friendly, helpful and totally professional. His attitude is passed on to his staff. This is a people business and this staff makes everyone from beginner to pro feel welcome and appreciated. With the ongoing pandemic, they are emphasizing safety and constantly making sure that spray bottles and towels are available for cleaning equipment. This is, and has been my gym of choice thru many years of training and competing and I highly recommend it!D Stamper IFBB pro

In the middle of this world crisis, I am thankful for Golds Gym/Lake Norman. Thank you for being open and understanding. Thank you for the willingness and dedication in maintaining the gym open for us! ❤ I signed up to this gym 3 months ago and have really enjoyed it! This is my escape place and I really need the gym to keep my sanity. 🙂 Your members really appreciate all the staff for all your hard work and dedication!!!✔💪🏾

They closed due to Covid (understandable) We had paid a full month for March, but they closed half way through the month. They did send an email saying they would reimburse everyone for the second half of the month. Fast forward to September 11th when the governor announces that gyms can re open; they charge us for an entire month, no credit, no notice saying they were re opening. Our contract was up so we ask to cancel and not pay for the month of September because we couldnt cancel the membership while they were closed. They begin to tell me they had actually been open since the beginning of August. We never received any email about this, and they were obviously opened illegally. The staff was rude and gave us the run around. They dont want to deal with people, they just want money.

This gym is overcrowded and poorly maintained. It is not worth the price you pay every month. I went to cancel, my membership after COVID and kept getting referred to different people. The manager is rude and unwilling to work with people and understand reason. They claim to have sent out emails with the gym reopened but I never received one. I am still waiting to cancel my membership and have spoken with the manager several times. At this point I am being ignored. I would suggest going to the Y down the street because this place is going to rob you.

I love this gym. I have been coming to this gym for months and I have noticed that it has been cleaner. I want to say thank you to whomever is keeping up with the cleaning. As a woman it is refreshing to step into the female bathroom and not see trash all over. I appreciate the hard work of the staff. The employees there are also wonderful and does not bother you. They let you just workout without hassle. Thank you cleaning crew for what your doing and staff

The gym used to be great. Once the new owner took over the place is a dirty pig pen. The equipment pads are torn up. Rap music in the morning. I would like to make a $1,000 bet that there is still torn pad as of 12-6-17. I will take picture in the morning.

Everyone at Golds is so nice! They all look intimidating but are all very approachable and make my husband and I feel welcome each time either of us goes to the gym. My personal evaluation with Zach was informative and positive. He answered all my questions and helped me set a healthy goal for myself and showed me a circuit that would be the most useful for me. Overall its a great place and the facilities are amazing.

Finally found a gym I can call my home. A great variety of equipment, that is fixed quickly if anything breaks. All of the staff is helpful, knowledge and nice. The personal trainers are actually well trained, nice, helpful and even look the part of trainers that apply their knowledge to their own lives. The atmosphere is actually a wonderful one, people are nice, non judging and even helpful. On top of all that the manager Jesse is super nice, very approachable, knowledgeable and helpful. Bonus points, they are open 24/7 even on holidays. I love this place❤️💪🏼

If you’re looking for a good trainer that knows what he is doing ask for Ryan! He is great! I have had trainers before but Ryan managed to take it to a whole new level! His knowledge is outstanding! If you want to train witj someone who knows how far to push, how much weight to use and what exercises to do then Ryan is the guy for you! I have never seen such drastic results as I did after a year of working out with Ryan! My husband and I strongly recommend!!!!!

Ive been training at this gym for close to two years now - and when I first joined it was a bit out dated, but after the remodeling this place has almost turned into a world class lifting gym in my opinion. Great staff, super clean, they repair the equipment quickly. 10/10 recommend this gym some may complain because of the cost but you get what you pay for, and what you get is a well kept and maintained gym in a great location.

LOVE this gym! Everyone is so friendly from the moment you walk in until you leave. Everything is clean and neat within the gym and they offer so many extras that I never imagined a gym would have. John is by far my favorite employee there with his upbeat energy and great smile.. I really enjoy his classes as well. He gives me that extra motivation I need to push myself and get into shape.

I have been working out at Golds for several years and have always been satisfied with the gyms upkeep and cleanliness. New owners have taken over about a year ago and a few things changed. The gym has been a little BETTER at upkeep and cleaning but the biggest change is in the management and staff. Everyone just seems more polite and pleasant. It is a very nice change to see a smiling face when you enter. The management have been very open to suggestions and been very helpful making many improvements. It is though the whole personality of the gym is much more upbeat.

They lost my cancellation request and continued to charge me. On top of making the cancellation process as difficult as possible, they lost my cancellation request, continued to charge me, and then management insinuated that I was lying about sending the cancellation request because it was lost in the multitudes of emails they send members in an effort to confuse them when trying to cancel. They are a bit of a scam with their memberships.

After receiving calls from a collection agency for our son that is away at college, I phoned the location directly. The acquisition of a gym in a different location was the issue, but we knew that he did not owe anything. The manager, Justin, was amazing in launching an immediate response and investigation into the issue. Justins level of professionalism and customer service were beyond outstanding!!! It was quickly resolved after finding that our son did, in fact, not owe anything. A giant shout-out to Justin and his team for taking care of this matter with such an awesome level of customer service, communication and desire to assist us in this matter!!!!

Ive been a member at Golds for over four years now and have enjoyed my time there. The 24x7 access is one of the most important perks for me. I love going to Golds between 5:00 and 5:30 each day. The locker room and shower facilities are clean and well maintained which is a must for any gym. Golds Gym at Lake Norman has plenty of free weights, dumb bells, weight machines, and lots of cardio equipment. Ive never had to wait to use equipment. The membership is reasonable and competitive with other local gyms. The staff at Golds are knowledgeable and have always been helpful when I needed something. Im glad to have Golds at the Lake and hope they are here for the long term.

Jessie and his team at Golds gym Lake Norman are excellent! They are always friendly and engaging. The gym has become much cleaner since his team has come on board. My husband and I have enjoyed seeing the changes occurring at the gym. I hope to see new cardio equipment and repair of torn pads on workout equipment, and new flooring. The womens locker room also needs updating. Hopefully, these improvements will occur soon.

LOVE THIS PLACE!! Been a member for 10 years now. I have made lots of friends here over the years and the instructors (also my friends -- such as Jeanna, Robin, Brenda, Seth, etc. are amazing).

This is the best thing I have done for myself in my life. Joined Silver Sneakers and have been there 3-5 times a week for 2 years. Jeanna is the best, she is so energetic that I feel like a new person when I leave her classes. Dont get me wrong, she is a tough but a thorough instructor that happens to have a great sense of humor too!

Lots of equipment that you will not find in a basic gym and lots of people I know. You can take it to the next level. I take the spin class with Robin and it is my goal to be able to keep up 100% of the time. Very close to my house and open all the time. Facility is new and modern. Glad I made the switch to Golds in Lake Norman.

Attend classes with Jeanna and Maria. Both are excellent instructors who make the classes lots of fun. The Silver Sneakers is wonderful for the older generation.

The worst staff ever. They dont even know the rules of that gym. I came there with newborn baby and ask can i cancel membership if i sign up agreement. He said yes. (I asked, i least 5 times). I dont know how many of you read agreement, i was with baby, plus English is not my first language... and i trusted him, but now they dont care. YOU CANNOT CANCEL IF YOU HAVE AGREEMENT. so, dont listen. I believe in karma and balance in the Universe and hope this gym will be closed out one day or loose more then me.

I checked out this gym while visiting from Boone using the guest pass and Im very impressed. They have an extensive range of equipment and the staff is super friendly! One of the personal trainers Chris Storino works with my best friend and was super helpful during my visit offering tips and really making the gym atmosphere inviting. I would definitely sign up for some sessions with him if I lived in the area.

Im a PT client and have been working with Ryan Daining for about 9 months. He is absolutely fantastic - extremely knowledgable and very tuned in to exactly how each workout should go. He knows which exercises to put together, stays very engaged and interactive, and seems to automatically know when to push harder and when to dial it back. I have a great time and always look forward to my sessions. 5-star trainer without a doubt - you wont go wrong with Ryan.

Knowing that I would be ending my membership in May, I started asking about the procedure for termination in February. First I was told by the front desk I would be notified in April of my upcoming renewal, then when I asked again they handed me a form and told me they dont handle anything at the gym itself. The form states that if you are moving they want your new address, if its a medical problem, a doctors note. Since neither of these was my issue I figured it was no problem just send in the request for termination along with my key card. Problem is they want you to send it certified mail to a PO BOX! This cannot be done, but I sent the letter prior to my renewal date in May. Within two days I received a notice from a collection agency stating they wanted my new information. I wrote them back telling them I had quit and they informed me I owed twice the amount since I stopped payment on the check for May. Why should I pay if Im not going and have no key card, but as the girl at the front desk told me when I called, you dont need that. Really! I contacted the collection agency again and told them I would be paying in person at the gym which I did, but at the gym they wanted $10.00 more than on the letter from the collection agency. I showed them the letter and they took what it said. Later that date I received an e-mail from the collection agency stating that they would charge me half the rate but when I told them I had already paid it they basically said too bad.Unless you plan on staying at this gym for the rest of your life, dont sign any contacts!!!! Shoddy and stupid!!!!

Id like to start out saying its a nice gym with a variety of equipment.Now that said, the upper management is not so great. Working for EY as a consultant, I travel into Lake Norman every week, so I signed up for a year agreement with Golds LN. After the year has passed, I wanted to cancel, but I was informed that I still had a year on my agreement. After an exchange of words with their staff and GM, I can tell they were very much undertrained and not trusted by their upper management since they kept telling me they cant do anything in their computers because corporate doesnt allow them to change anything in the system.So, I finally got to speak with the VP, Mike Rattenni. He was definitely NO help and just more of a glorified GM. Ive been consulting business for over 20 years for EY and I know a narcissist when I see one. Thinking he was more in-charge than he really was. Much so he was lying to himself. Type of guy that always talks about, me, me, me.I called a few of the other Golds in the area that they own, and finally got Sharon Masons number. After talking to her, I gathered she is the mother of the owner. Again, she had no clue what she was doing or they are just really good at playing dumb to send people in circles to get a question and stall time.Anyways, I had the payments on my AMEX and disputed all charges, so it worked out in the end.Like I said, good gym with variety of equipment, but ding bat of people.

Review №58

The staff was friendly and helpful while I lived there and the gym was clean and well-maintained. However, when I moved for my residency, it took almost a year to get someone on the phone to find out how to cancel a membership (after monthly unanswered calls/emails), resulting in over $150 worth of unnecessary charges. Once I did get a young girl on the phone, she was very kind, but unsure of the cancellation process and what needed to be completed. This gym is a perfect place for you, so long as you never plan to move or if you are ok with paying a monthly fee for the rest of you life.

Non staffed hours? Are you kidding me? I am a Golds Gym member because I need 24 hour access to a decent gym. Love my Golds. I travel all around the country. Checked to make sure this was a 24 hour location. Drove past multiple other ones in the last ten hours on my way here. Get here and the door is locked and a sign says out of town members are prohibited during non staffed hours. Change the name to YMCA then. Ridiculous.

Review №64

Today while training at Gold’s Gym in Lake Norman a staff member approached me during my workout to tell me that I was “f***ing pathetic” that I “needed to learn how to lift” and that “I should join a different gym.” After asking him to mind his own business numerous times a small group of individuals over heard the encounter and he ended his belligerent and unwarranted rant at that time. As someone who is new to the area and consequently this gym I am simply floored that someone (let alone an employee) would have the audacity to treat someone with such blatant disrespect. I would recommend considering a different gym if you are new to the fitness industry to avoid the risk of having a similar encounter to the one I had today. I have been going to this location since I relocated here for work and have not had any issues. I am hopeful that this is a one time event and that the verbal abuse does not continue. I am hopeful that management takes swift disciplinary action against this individual to avoid similar encounters with other new, existing or prospective Gold’s Gym members.

I am so thankful to have the opportunity to give feedback on, by far, the best trainer Ive ever hired. Ryan trains every member of my family. His passion and his knowledge in the sport of powerlifting encouraged both my sons to join powerlifting competitions. They are setting goals for themselves and achieving those goals under Ryans watchful eye. Ryan is always available to my family and goes well beyond basic technique building. The encouragement and the professionalism he gives to my sons is nothing short of absolutely wonderful.My daughter who trains with Ryan two days a week is interested in just strength training. Ryans approach with her is so gentle and so encouraging, that this is really the only sport shes willing to participate in. SoIm thrilled he has made it possible that fitness is part of her life.I too train with Ryan. My fitness goals are weight loss and degenerative disease prevention. I train with Ryan three days a week and I do cardio on my own. I cant believe how strong I actually have become. Never thought I would be squatting, but I am. Surprisingly Im actually more comfortable weighing myself in front of Ryan then by myself. That is what kind of trainer Ryan is. Hes 100% supportive of his clients needs. We are also grateful to have him in our lives we absolutely love him and value him as our familys trainer.A word on Zack, I am not sure what his exact title is but I believe he is a regional manager. He too participates with Ryan and watches my sons progress constantly. Again, the support, service and just overall care they have shown my family is just amazing.In a school paper, my youngest son actually identified Ryan and Zack as the two greatest role models in his life. That indeed speaks directly to the true impact they have had.If youre looking for a trainer that cares about your fitness goals, will help you build confidence over your insecurities and develop personal expectations that you never thought you could achieve. Look no further....Ryan needs to be your trainer!

Gyms are places we go to feel good about ourselves, to begin or end our days with a source of inspiration we can count on...to always be there..even in the toughest times of our lives..or our nation...Well...in my experience..there are ...gyms that offer the basic stuff..or that offer cool stuff and...there are gyms that..Get serious.That would be Golds.When you go into the gym you feel the energy.I know..Ive been a member of 3 different gyms in 20 years.I am focused on fitnessI want a gym like thatThatReally is Golds ..especially the group fitness classes.A fitness class has an agenda yes ...but..The instructor can ....Make it or break it.Golds has great classes.The Cornelius location is newly renovated.But the best part has never changed.Any class you take with Mike Scotto...Row, Boot Camp...Maxxfit ..is going to..Get you completely exhausted...butSomehow make you do more...Next time.Im focused on fitness.

Personal Trainer – Ryan Daining at Gold’s Gym Lake Norman is outstanding!!! I cannot say enough good things about Ryan Daining. His depth and breath of knowledge in fitness and nutrition, his pleasant personality and his sincere commitment to help me meet my fitness goals are only some of what makes him the best trainer I’ve ever worked with. He has helped me to overcome a knee injury that doctors said may likely never be strong enough to strength train again. As a female over 50 – this was very concerning. With Ryan’s training program and his supoort, not only can I do the basic things in life without pain, I can also run again! It is life changing! Ryan and the staff are what keep me returning to Gold’s year after year.

Working out here is great. The are also the home to Contenders Boxing so I get to get a workout in and take boxing lessons as well.

Being a long time gym rat, Ive trained in a lot of gyms thru the years. I can honestly say this Golds gym ranks at the top of my list. The new management team, lead by Jesse Fabricant is absolutely the best so far. They treat every member well and especially make new members feel very welcome and comfortable in what can be an intimidating atmosphere for beginners. The gym is now clean and equipment is serviced regularly. Golds corporate should look at this gym as a model for other area Golds as well. Hats off to Jesse and the entire staff!

Golds gym bought my old gym, then added a 30 day written cancellation clause without my knowledge. I have to pay for the next 2 months to cancel, even though I havent been to this location they purchased for 5 years. No flexibility, all they want is your money. Avoid this gym.As for having a written 30 day policy in my agreement, that clause was NOT in my signed paperwork which was prior to being purcahsed by Golds, which they cannot even locate. It still doesnt deter them from charging me though...

I have been going to Golds Gym in Cornelius for over 10 years now and love it! I have met so many people (including staff) that are now my friends. Everyone is very friendly and willing to help you out if you need something. I love the 24 hour access but mostly enjoy the classes that are taught. They have very knowledgeable instructors (Jeanna Parks, Robin Wolters and Brenda Buysse are some of my favorites) who truly care if you get a good workout thats right for you. They show you how to modify if you have a bad knee, back or shoulders. I have referred many people to Golds and will continue to do so.

They have been telling members for months new cardio equipment is coming along with new flooring. The carpet is very dirty and torn. The locker rooms are filthy. Torn pads on equipment. One piece of equipment was down over two weeks! Do yourself a favor and tour other gyms BEFORE you join here. If it wasnt for the free shake this place would get a 1 rating from everyone. Sadly they are ALL lip service.

Ive been lifting at this gym since I moved here 3 years ago and I absolutely love it and the people. I work in Concord and thought about moving last year, but none of the gyms in that area even compared to Golds Lake Norman.

Ive been a member at Golds Gym Lake Norman for over a year now. I originally joined via an AWESOME Groupon deal and loved it so much I continued past my trial period. Im currently training for my very 1st bikini competition at the end of April and am able to find literally, EVERYTHING I need, at this location. The equipment and machines are all in great condition. The staff is super helpful. Even the gym owner, Kevin, is allowing me to use the Group Exercise room (when no classes are going on) to practice my competition posing routine. Overall - a great location that I would highly recommend to any local individual looking to better their health and fitness. Looking forward to my next sweat sesh already!

I am an employee for Golds Gym, Lake Norman. (Kids Club) I had to take a leave of absence due to my fathers heart surgery.I must say that my co-workers/work family are the BEST! I miss these guys immensely!The members are amazing as well.I love this place and my GM/friend Jessie Fabricant, is a Gentle Giant who runs GG Lake Norman in such a manner that you simply cannot get enough of that breathtaking smile as he greets you coming and going....I love him to the moon and back.💙💚💛💜Prior to leaving temporarily I had the pleasure of meeting with the new owners mother and she was a jovial gem. You can tell that she and her son have an undeniable passion for the Health & Fitness nation and people as a whole.Its a grand experience from the front end, to the Kids Club, to the Trainers.I would work at GG Lake Norman a million times over.Cherita Denning (Jeffries)

Staff was courteous. If youre a weights guy/gal - very nice / large selection of everything. However, if you are trying to tie in a cardio workout - be prepared to be VERY squeezed. Their cardio equipment is literally packed piece-to-piece. I had to step over machines when I found one that was open. They need to enlarge their cardio space, or pull out 1/3 of the machines to give it more room. Personally, I like to have more personal space around me. Other than that - nice gym.

I started training at golds years ago in Mooresville but fell off like a lot of people do. About a year and a half ago I joined another gym in the lake area and just felt like after six months I sort of wasnt getting anywhere. So I decided to check out golds at the lake. I was immediately greeted by a warm and welcoming staff and a gym with loud music and brand new equipment. I wasnt standing there for more than thirty seconds when I realized I found home. For some people the gym is a place to just say you go, for others its a way of lfe. After three short months of training here I saw gains I didnt know I had and got stronger every day !!! This gym hands down just rocks. I cannot see myself working out anywhere else. Thanks Kevin and the awesome staff who make this gym what it is.

This was my gym for 12+ years. It went through a number number of changes in that time. Under the latest ownership it has done the best. Many thanks to the group fitness instructors there! Robin Wolter, Brenda Buysse, Angela Sayre, Terri Kindly, Mark Tillison... I recommend checking it out.

Terrible, under trained, under paid staff who doesnt care. Was misinformed of the membership and terms of membership I purchased. After I moved away, 750 miles away, the gym continued to bill me for my Month to Month membership, for three months. I went into the Lake Norman location, and DID fill out the cancelation form prior to moving. STAY AWAY from all three Lake Norman Golds Gym locations!!

I really enjoy Marias classes at Golds Gym. She teaches Combofit and Yoga. In Combofit, every muscle group is exercised, and her yoga class is absolutely the best.

Terrible Customer service and management. Very uncaring, and survives only on contract enforcement of facility. I bought a groupon coupon for my wife and daughter to use over the Christmas break, and when she tried to cancel on the last day of use, they smugly said too late your stuck with a year contract, even though the groupon had not yet expired. Talk about a bait and switch! Theyre very happy having stuck it to us. STAY AWAY from signing anything with them.
