I have been going here for about 7 years now. The north side location tends to have many groups of guys working out together, tending to take up alot of space. It can sometimes be hard to work around. It has great equipment, with wide open space, and a clean environment I especially like the Deadlift platform. It's one of the best gyms around.

The staff and the facility are amazing! Even the other gym patrons are courteous and helpful.

Love, love, love going here because they never judge you, and you can use all of their equipment and you can also take classes or get a personal trainer and workout in their private rooms away from all the others doing workouts so you can concentrate.

My first time on just move north I really had a great workout. The facility was clean , plenty of machines nice and spacious.

Started working out here for about 8 months and thanks to the trainers I used I have lost a ton of weight and am much stronger. The gym is always clean and staff are extremely nice. I strongly recommend coming in to check it out for sure. Don the manager always goes out of his way to help in anyway.

I really wanted to like Just Move. The equipment is not bad, and there's a good selection. That's where the positives end. They have a "CrossFit" area. But don't plan on using it (despite the fact that this isn't discussed in the contract). I tried to use the AirDyne bikes and was asked why I was there and told I couldn't use that equipment unless I was with a Cross Fit instructor. I emailed to ask what the deal was with that and didn't even get a generic form replay. NOTHING. You probably should just always be with an instructor, because my other big gripe is that they have tons of one-on-one instructor sessions going on. On MULTIPLE occasions, I've been working out on a little circuit I set up, and some instructor will walk up with a client and just start moving my stuff. I got it, I shouldn't hog gym equipment, but really?? You just had to have THAT TRX strap right then? Lastly, the locker rooms are gross. Amongst other things, they replaced all of the shower heads with cheapo models that don't face the floor, so the water just shoots out onto the floor and as a consequence the place smells somewhere between raw sewage and mold. So much potential wasted.

Moved from Michigan and loved the Golds Gym when we moved. The staff was amazing they interacted, and always had someone available to answer questions no matter the time. When we entered we were properly greeted with a smile. The environment was welcoming. Since the change when entering if anyone is at the desk they are either playing on phones or talking with other staff. When you need answers they give you a card and say just call that number and they would answer all questions. I love the location and the equipment but not sure if this gym is the best fit.

Nice Staff. Great Group Classes. A lot of Fun and Energy.

Finally getting better with the cleanliness of the gym. Can we at least use the correct phone number on Google Maps? It rings in Winter Haven and no one ever answers.

Doesn't just have cardio, but has tons of lifting equipment. They also have the AWESOME 3D body scanner so you can track every aspect of your progress over time

I use the North side gym which I find much cleaner and user friendly than the south side gym. To be fair, they're doing some renovations to the south gym so maybe that will change. As for the north gym, I do like the green football turf and use it often for various workouts such as the sled push-pull sleds, boxes, performing burpees, spider crawls for example . I also like the multi use apparatus (not sure of the actual name) that contains the ropes, heavy bags, kettle bells, pull up bars, sandbags, TRX straps etc. for individual training. I also take some group workout classes. I Just wish they had more spin/rpm classes. They only conduct them Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6pm, which I can't make. I tried the southside location since they conduct many more of them, but they normally play techno music and flash those strobe lights. I just can't get into them and either left the spin room halfway through or just never went inside. So I find myself in the spin room by myself with my own "non techno" music and NO flashing lights or disco balls. Do you have real music in ONE of those classes? Please let me know. I've also noticed on the north end, they've removed some of the non recumbent stationary bikes on the workout floor. I hope there are plans to return them, soon. I use them often as well. Overall the north gym is a good gym. I find it pretty clean with a friendly atmostphere. There always seems to be someone on the floor vacuuming and or wiping down equipment and cleaning the bathroom. I appreciate that.

Place looked nice and staff seemed fine. Unfortunately, I came to Lakeland for a couple of days on business and the establishment wanted $15 just for a one day pass. Not sure what monthly rates are but if you are looking for just a day or two of using the facility, you might be better off looking elsewhere..

The staff is very unprofessional I went to ask a question for a friend and I received a childish answer followed by laughter with about 4-5 people just hanging around the front desk. 2 of the employees sitting around playing on their phones not being helpful. This gym needs to do a little better at hiring and watch after all of the so called employees that act like children in a work environment. Overall very disappointed in the direction this gym is heading.

I recently joined and I do like the gym with some exceptions. The sauna rules are broken flagrantly, loud people with cell phones, watching videos etc. People using the sauna post workout shoes and all makes me question the cleanliness of the place. I wont even try the showers after that sauna experience. I have also noticed the gym is increasingly dirty and the weights are strewn all over the free weight room. I know gym goers are partly to blame, however, it took me 20 minutes to get started today looking for sets of plates for the free weights because there were none by the racks.

There are a few special guys that like to save a good shower so he will put his clothes in the shower stall & go do his thing. On more than one occasion I have seen the same object in the shower 2 or more days in a row. That obviously means that the showers are NOT being cleanef eveyday. I have seen guys lying down on the benches in the locker room. Lazy thugs won't close the locker doors. Trash cans are always full in mens room.
Management doesn't care. Management is NOT doing there job to see rules are followed.
Owners to fix water pressure problems in shower. Only 2 good shower heads.
1 or 2 water faucets in mens room are broke.

Dear Dave, I don't know when was last time you inspected your gym; but by the pictures it seems obvious. Same pile of dirt for days on end. Filthy water coolers (hello stainless steel & mildew cleaner)and missing fixture. I can't careless where are all the weights laying around; but a dirty gym is totally unacceptable.
I do like the gym, I just wish someone pay attention to detail. After all is your only competive advantage.

I gave this gym a shot for a few days and found it quite lacking.

First, there seemed to be a fair amount of broken equipment. Several of the ellipticals and treadmills were out of service, as was a cable station. Quite a bit of the other equipment was in disrepair. I attached a picture of the tread pad on the standing calf raise which is coming off the machine and creating a dangerous situation, and nobody seemed to care. Many of the machines needed oil and were dragging along their bearings.

This gym was also extremely dirty. There was some kind of weird funk or mold growing in the water fountains. Many of the gym wipe tubs were empty and never refilled during the times I tried the gym. The staff didn't seem to care. The bathroom usually had full trash and no paper towels. This created an incredibly unsanitary atmosphere with no equipment being wiped down and people obviously not washing their hands when they leave the bathroom. People also left a ton of weights racked on bars or just strewn around. Staff didn't seem to care or ever organize the area.

Finally, the gym membership was super cheap, but this seemed to create some other issues. There was actually a homeless guy who had a membership for the sole purpose of taking showers and having a place to hang out when it is raining. I talked to him for a few minutes in the locker room, and he said there were a few homeless guys who had memberships. The low price also means there are a ton of members and they seem to not care about restricting new members in any way despite obvious overcrowding.

Overall, it may seem to be a cheap option for a large facility, but it wasn't a good fit for me.

I'm a Canadian truck driver and I always workout at 5am, so the hrs are great!!! I park my truck in the back and go inside to get my swell on.The staff that I encountered with are great and have to say gorgeous. I'm not a member only because some cities I'm in don't have a golds gym. One of my top 3 gyms I go to and believe me I see a lot in my travels.

Nice expansive gym. Especially their cardio Cinema is great.

Just spent the last two days in Lakeland with both days working out at Golds Gym. Amazing experience!! Everything a person looks for in a gym is packed into this facility. Each staff person I met was friendly and professional. I noticed lots of people cleaning which is reflected in how clean the gym is....you know it's clean when it smells clean. I used most the workout areas but the highlight was a "body pump" workout led by Lauren. She is excellent leading the class through all the strength moves but also motivates, makes you laugh, distracts you from the pain to get through the set and makes it fun. Also, watch how each song ends precisely at the end of the workout segment. Amazing! Also impressed with the manager that checked me in (forgot her name but she was excellent) and Robert who I spoke with on the phone was also professional and helpful. Only one small drawback...bring your own towel. Keep up the good work and the good workouts.

Was a great gym but too much has changed. Needs more collars for the weights i think we counted 2 or 3 sets and around 14 bars to work with. Neck support for the squat machines would be nice, again there might be 1 for 6 machines which tends to disappear often. Last but not least have someone monitor the equipment, too many people sitting on a machine or a bench for 20 minutes looking at their phones do a set then get on their phone for another 20 minutes we're here to workout not take selfies and text. If this was a free gym then i would understand, but we pay just like everyone else and deserve to use the equipment and not wait on someone who is playing around.

Had a bunch of guys sitting on the weights talking. They had weights sitting right in the middle of the aisle (and in the middle of their their conversation) and weren't using them. I told staff and they did nothing about it. Saw a guy trying to carry 2 120lb weights back to the rack they were sitting on and they wouldn't move. These lifters had no respect and the staff wouldn't do anything about it. Will not recommend.
