New management is atrocious. I have reached out to their manager Rick multiple times about an additional 230 dollar charge I was told I would not receive. I was told I'd get 2 free training sessions as compensation, never got it and Rick dropped off the radar. At this point I may as well filing a report to the BBB, cause I don't know how to get them to listen.

The day to day staff and trainers get a 5 star review. They are great, and for the last few months they are the only reason I've stayed a member.

Good Equipment and Customer service but Trainers Need to learn Customer Service

When I first signed up here I thought it was the greatest place in the world. Shortly after I signed up my girlfriend did as well and decided to do the contract. Big mistake. She opted for automatic withdraw and it was fine at first, but then out of nowhere they had stopped charging her account and we went to work out and they wouldn't let her go in. They said she did not pay. After explaining that its supposed to be automatic withdraw, they claimed to have fixed the issue and we payed what was owed and went on with it. Not long after that same thing happens again. They quit charging her account. She later got busy with school and didn't have time to worry about the gym, then another couple months go by and magically, there they are charging her account. Have tried to fight this and its done no good. They continue to charge the account. They have zero clue what is going on as far as peoples accounts go and this isn't the first I've heard of this. Do not sign up under contract with this gym. You will get screwed somehow, someway.

Sigh it's hard to find a good gym these days. This location is much smaller then other gyms around akron. I went their to check it out cause i've never been inside a Gold's Gym before but i was severely disappointed. Whether it was the lack of respect or the way they treat new customers I'd think they are trying to go out of business. The staff would not let me go inside to take a look. Manager was very pissed off about me walking inside without jumping through their corporate sales pitches and hoops. They get way too personal upon signing up asking you too many personal information. I feel bad for all the people they disrespected previously b/c i seriously enjoy fitness and the staff here seems to not understand what fitness is about, it's about the community and what they can offer and bring to the table as a whole, but all these guys care about is money.

Go check out their Yelp reviews 2.5 stars it's very low, due to many unhappy customers. I quote this from another Yelp review i read "This place is money hungry. I do not trust a place that isn't honest with new members wanting to sign up. The contracts are ridiculous and extremely difficult to get off once on." Many other reviews stating the same thing how they are super money hungry without class.

Great equipment and definitely the nicest and most knowledgeable staff of any gym I've been too.

I have been a member here since 2013. When I brought a good family friend to check out the place to see if it was the right fit (He recently bought a house just down the street), we were left waiting while someone was on the phone for 15 min. My buddy has a health issue which makes him have to use the restroom fairly often. While still waiting for the counter woman to get off the phone, he went to go try and use the restroom. When he was just about to enter, he was accosted by a male trainer who blocked his path and asked "what he thought he was doing". My buddy said he was just trying to use the restroom. He was told that was members only. At that point, feeling embarrassed and disgusted, we promptly left. I am cancelling my membership today. I will never refer another person to Golds Gym ever again. Will not be embarrassed again.

Went in and asked if i could just do a quick walk threw. I was told no then asked if i had a few minutes to sit down. I don't want to here your speech until I'm ready and feel like this is where i want to be. How about take care of what i want and not be so greedy for a sale. Your loss.

It is a very nice place to go! This was the first Gym I have ever gotten a membership. Being in the IT industry, and never been to a gym I was very nervous at first. A friend convinced me to join him and I am glad I did! The staff are very friendly and the equipment fits my needs. I definitely recommend this Gym for anyone that is in the area!

Great gym. Great people. Try to avoid 4 -6:30 time and you can typically get in whatever Machine you want.

My contract agreement is to be charged every other week. I have repeatedly been charged every Friday. I spoke to manager and he promised me it would not happen again. I was charged again on consecutive Fridays. This over charge disrupted my budget and the corporate was rude and did not acknowledge my complaint. They lied and said I would not be charge. They refused to refund the overcharges. I now have been left to cancel my membership. I am looking for a gym that is not a rip off scam as I need a reputable gym to improve my health.

Love it here! The staff are all so friendly! They really work at getting to know their clients and it definitely makes working out in a public setting more comfortable!
