This is my home gym when I'm in town for business. Overall the place is clean, and we'll maintained. I've been going there for about 6 months now and other then a couple of treadmills all the equipment is maintained is good working order. It can get a bit crowded during peak times, but thats to be expected.. especially on universal chest day.
The staff that run the front end are always, friendly and professional, they really do a good job. From what I've seen the greet everyone and say goodbye when they leave. Really great customer service.
Overall, great place to workout.
As a senior citizen I enjoy free membership to this gym and it keeps me healthy
All the fitness equipment I wanted to use--and I was told was in working order--prior to joining was not. Moreover, there is not enough locker room and space for everyone. People are constantly on top of each other. Lastly, the cleanliness of the showers was not up to par. The staff is really nice, but that doesn't justify paying the cost for this gym. I would rather pay more and get better amenities.
Moreover, the gym gouges you for $100 for early cancellation. Other gyms have rmoved away from this outdated policy. I reccomend Golds follows suit.
Abysmal customer service. You have questions and need to speak with a manager as their front desk can't help you enough, they refuse to put you through even though "the manager reviewed your account but I can give you their email". Now I have to get off work and make the trip to speak with a manager. The person who handled my paperwork when I first started (Mr. T he goes by) said I could cancel anytime as I was (possibly) planning on moving. Out of nowhere, I'm told I'm under obligation - if that were the case I wouldn't have signed up if there was honesty from the beginning.

Great place to work out and meet others. The Hatha YOGA Classes on Sunday and Tuesday ARE THE BEST!!!

I'm disheartened at the decline the Cap Hill location has undergone. Catering largely to the workday crowd, the gym ostensibly offers a variety of group fitness classes. But the pickings have gotten ever slimmer, and even those that remain are rife with problems. For example, BodyPump used to be offered several days at midday, but those classes evaporated after Linda Haupt left in 2016. The club seems to be methodically replacing the Les Mills classes with its own in-house offerings. (Not that those can't be good, too.)
And then we have the indoor cycling classes, RPM and GGX cycle. RPM is down to only one class per week [updated: now all RPM is gone], with an instructor who, though good, has other obligations and is absent about as often as she's there. Which would be fine if the class would still be RPM in her absence, but the sub for the class is never RPM-trained, so the class defaults to the unstructured GGX cycle. (The two are not equivalent or interchangeable; people's preferences vary, and RPM tends to be the first sacrificial lamb, perhaps owing to the challenge of finding RPM-certified instructors willing to travel to and park on the Hill.) Peter's class? Gone. Tamar's class? Gone. Matt's class? Gone. Jen's class? Gone. The Friday midday class? Gone. They were all fantastic. Sometimes people move, sure. Sometimes a class isn't getting enough attendees to justify its existence (maybe they need better promotion in the gym and on the website). But the decline is nonetheless jarring.
This gym does nothing to truly enforce the rule against using cell phones during fitness classes. The spin room, for instance, is dark by design and has mirrors on the walls, so when people take out their huge smartphones and send text messages or check their work e-mail or post on Facebook during class, everyone in the room can see. Doing so is rude and disrupts the integrity of the workout for people who are serious riders. One point of the workout is to take yourself out of work mode for 45 minutes. If your job is so demanding that you have to check your e-mail even during your workout, please go use the equipment in the main gym, where using a phone wouldn't be as noticeable. Don't ruin the class, in its confined, dark space, for other people. Several participants engage in that behavior, but one stands out. The RPM instructor will sometimes call out the offending party multiple times, but the person pretends not to hear and continues using the phone--apparently with impunity. The well-meaning manager, Sam Hager, has spoken to that person more than once (after members complained to him) but seems not to do anything beyond that--despite repeated assurances that he would deal with the problem. The person continues coming to class and continues breaking the rules, with absolutely no consequences, even after several reminders. This person needs to be escorted out of the class or kicked out of the gym until she stops defying the posted rules. And in the main GGX studio, if you have time to check your phone during Pump or Combat, you're not working out hard enough. With the way classes here disappear, it's no wonder some instructors are reluctant to enforce the rules, lest they be seen as unpopular and risk losing their members (and thus their jobs).
Between those problems and the continual state of disrepair of the locker room facilities, I've found it better (but certainly not easier or more practical) to go to other locations. The Gold's clubs in the Virginia suburbs (e.g., Clarendon, South Arlington, Ballston, and Merrifield) are harder to get to, no question. But at least there you get the classes as advertised, and when someone subs for a regular instructor, the format of the class doesn't change. And, best of all, those clubs respect the depth and intensity of the group fitness dynamic. People who use their phones during class are reminded one time that they need to step out of the classroom to take care of that business--and then if the problem persists they're asked to leave.
Good value for money, but nothing fancy. The equipment is rundown, and the place feels more like a private clubhouse for the trainers than a welcoming gym. But it's cheap and has everything you need. Darnell is easy to work with and wasn't pushing during the process of signing up.

Cramped gym. Often smells like Korean food due to the ventilation with neighbors. Equipment is not spaced well, dangerous injury risk. Policies are not respected by staff or management. Turn away, if you have an option to go elsewhere.
It's a decent Gold's.
My home gym. Caters to federal employees, so plan your visit in slightly off-peak hours, or it's going to be busy.
Gold's Gym (Cap. Hill) in SW DC is an excellent gym for meeting your fitness goals. You have access to all of the equipment, classes and challenges in one membership fee, and the fitness instructors are focused on your progress and well-being. The gym is a clean, well-managed, friendly and pleasant place to work out. It is also next door to the Federal Center SW Metro Stop. I value my Gold's membership above all else.

The staff is very friendly and helpful, from Sam to Iverson. But the new guy Jasper could use a lesson in how to deal with costumers. He's good at his job but is lacking in personal skills. Other than that the gym is a good place. It's kinda small, but big enough for a good workout. And equipment is being slowly updated.
Well maintained gym, but some equipments can use an upgrade. The trainers are very energetic and helpful. It's a good environment to break the everyday pressure.
I recently signed up for a personal trainer at Gold's Gym (Capital Hill), sat with the trainer and discussed pricing. I decided that I did not want or need 3 months of training which would allow them to debit my account an additional $200 plus bi weekly. I elected to purchase 8 1hr sessions and cut them in 1/2 to have 16 1/2 hr sessions. I was informed that I could. The next day 7/24/2017 (per my receipt), I came in and paid the fee. I never signed an EFT form authorizing any additional charges or changes. On 7/28/2017 Golds Gym Capital Hill, debited my account for $507.14. I called and paid Gold's Gym a visit on 7/28/17 and was informed that the manager was gone for the day and that there wasn't anyone else there that would be able to help. That I could contact him 7/29/2017. I contacted him 7/29/2017 and he assured me that a refund had been requested via email 7/29/2017 at 11:27 am. TODAY IS 8/7/2017 AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A REFUND! I spoke to my financial institution and was informed that they did NOT see in the system that a refund had been issued. I returned items on the same day that Gold's "requested a refund on my behalf" and the funds were credited to my account the next day, it is difficult for me to understand the delay.
I am a government employee, when i signed up 8 months ago I was told that they did not offer a discount to government employees. I do not have a contract and when I spoke to the manager in regards to setting me up with the correct amount I was told that it would take too much paperwork to change it. I find this hard to understand when they were so easily able to change the amount of my biweekly debit from $21.14 to $507.14.
I have been more than patient.
This place is clean, neat, well ordered, and has everything I want in a gym. One of the best gyms in DC.
Phenomenal weight room, friendly staff, 20% the price of crossfit.
Great service, well maintained equipment and a wide variety of free classes

Not as large as other gyms in the area but the staff and management are phenomenal. They have plenty of free visit days so if you're not sure find out when the next one is and come see for yourself!
