Gold's Gym San Antonio Goliad

"For perspective: I am a male in my late 20's that has been going to commercial gyms for over a decade in multiple cities. I have worked out here for 2 years simply because of the proximity to my home and my busy schedule. That is it. I have never written a negative google review on any business before but this is long overdue. This is by far the absolutely most poorly run and maintained commercial gym I have ever seen. It is downright disgusting, broken, ancient, and trashy. Commonly, the bathroom smells like a homeless shelter, and toilets are broken or have not been cleaned in what appears like days. EVERY day, there are multiple stations that are out of paper towels, leading to no one cleaning any machines after use. Machines are broken for weeks at a time, and dumbbells disappear daily. 5 stairclimbers, and yet I have never seen more than 3 of them working. Right now, it is 1 and a half, with one shaking like it is about to blow up. If it rains, there are over a dozen spots inside the gym with literal standing water for days because of leaks in the roof. Half of the gym, including the pool and the sauna, are still closed from the covid era. Excuse to be lazy and shut down half the gym while charging the same price is what it appears like to me. If I did not live minutes away, I would pay double to go somewhere else. Lucky there is not closer competition. The staff must have absolutely zero pride in their job and have no budget from corporate or, most likely, both. Clearly, incompetent management at the extreme. See pictures for proof. Avoid this gym if at all possible - you're welcome."

"A very poor quality gym. You can pretty much count on the majority of the equipment to be partially broken or even downright dangerous and in disrepair. Gold's: before responding, go do a thorough inspection of your equipment. Plate numbers are all scratched off, damaged/broken carabiners everywhere, and bent pins substitute the magnetic OEM pins. Not to mention the ever-missing dumbbells, limited quantity of machines, and scarce functioning cables. For $40/month, fitness connection is looking way better at $10. I only come here out of convenience, and MAN it's a shame. What makes you think I'm going to share my personal schedule on a public forum? The gym is still in shambles. Do your safety inspections, maintain your equipment, and give your patrons what they pay for. This place is run down."

"Nice place to work out the staff are super friendly and very nice. They go out of their way to make you happy. Love the GM hes been so awesome since I signed up for the gym."

"I had to go to this gym because I was in the area. My usual is fiesta trails. The bathrooms were terrible. There’s absolutely no music playing. It’s super quite and dark. It was not motivating at allll to workout here or to even be a member if you live in the area. They definitely need a new location in the area and some Windows. I know many people are moving in the area as well but, this is not the place to choose as a gym. Hopefully they upgrade."

"First time and will be the last time to this location. When you walk into the front area you can't help to smell the stence of chlorine and get a slap of humidity straight up your face. Front desk was friendly and nice. She said to us this location had been other gyms prior to Golds taking it over. It looks like the same decor just different name. Corporate you need to spend some much needed time to bring this gym up to par. I bet Dallas doesn't offer slum locations. The floor was quite disgusting with a build up of dust bunnies and dirt. The floor looked like it's never seen a mop in its time. The machines were quite disgusting and never seen a cleaning towel and felt no cleaning solutions on them. No cleaning crew in sight. I also noticed that there was a lack of cleanliness when it came to people wiping their sweat off the machines. YUCK!! The ladies room needs some much needed cleaning. I say they need to revamp the whole gym. By the way the pool water looked green. UGH!! I can only imagine what the sauna and showers have not received. I should have worn a hazmat suite for this workout. Do not consider this location for a workout and don't let the pictures be deceiving. I should have taken pictures of the dirty floors."
