| - Facilities are great. That's the only praise warranted for any Gold's. I give Gold's Gym a one star simply because I can't give it no stars. This is the most unethical businesses on the face of the earth. They rarely honor advertised promotions. When they do, they get you in a contract with so many loopholes and pitfalls to screw the customer that it would make a rapist blush. Example, a few years back I signed up for a membership that specifically stated that I could freeze my account for two years, and resume at any point afterwards. When I tried, they refused to honor it, even after showing them my contract. Another example, my wife has recently fallen victim to their false month to month plan. They tell you to your face that you are signing up for a month to month membership, then allow you to sign a contract with hundreds of hidden gems like a quarterly "upkeep" fee of $50. If the monthly membership fees aren't going towards upkeep, then what they hell are they going towards? Also, the month-to-month membership is actually a six month membership, for which you will have to pay a fee to cancel. Even after cancelling, there will be many back charges for months to come which they justify simply by stating "sorry, you signed the contract." What a damn joke this place is. This link also says it all. The BBB also has MANY claims against Gold's. If you don't know what the BBB is, then do yourself a favor, educate yourself, and avoid this hell hole like the plague it is.
