Gold's Gym,

6144 Calle Real, Goleta, CA 93117

"40 dollars for a day pass is incredibly ridiculous. If you are gonna charge that much you better have every equipment possible and you don’t. Head on over to superior fitness center for much better equipment and pricing."

"At least once a month, the opener doesn't show up. People only go to the gym at 5am if they have work they need to get to. It disrupts everyone's morning routine. It used to happen at least once a week, so at least it is getting better? No. It should never happen. It's ridiculous. This is never an issue at the State Street location (thanks to Bridget!). Management needs to figure this out."

"Recieved a 7 day pass to try out the gym. However, my first day didnt go as planned. It took about 20-30 min to get checked in. Instead of me signing the waiver and trying it out, I was forced to sit down and talk about plans. They basically wanted my credit card info before I worked out. The salesperson was a little too much for me. With that and the gym being way overcrowded, I left. Did some math and found that for the price of a two year membership, I could buy myself a nice complete home gym for the garage. So I ordered one online. Very nice facility I must say. Knocked two stars for the overcrowding and the guy who just wanted to sell sell sell instead of let me workout."

"Except for the too loud satanic music in the background, I'm pretty happy with this place. It's renovated, clean, and the staff is respectful. If they'll lower the music down, I'll probably upgrade this rating to five stars."

"Review as of October 2021: I've been a member here for 20+ years, excluding the time it was sold to Spectrum/Bay Club. For gyms/fitness facilities in Santa Barbara, Goleta location is the best in my opinion, followed by Uptown. Good variety of equipment, in good repair. Dumbbells to 120 lbs. The gym is generally clean and well maintained, and management has been receptive to feedback (complaints haha) and implemented changes. As part of the 5:00 A.M. crew, there's always equipment available. Positives: Towel service (free), Sauna (when it works which as of Fall 2021 is most of the time) good equipment. Music is better now, after a recent adjustment. Negatives: This is on the members, but many people seem unable to re-rack their dumbbells in their correct spot. Needs improvement: evening cleaning / vacuuming, would like to not see trash/lint on the floor when we come in first thing in the morning. Also early morning openers have been late several times (2x in this month) which is a pain for those of us on a tight morning schedule. All in all, a great gym, friendly staff."
