Gold's Gym Austin South

Fantastic experience: This location is a gem, all new equipment, clean, friendly staff, was able to fix a payment issue that had been going on for over a year and lots of knickknacks. Like 12 squat machines with cables built in, just absolutely awesome. Worth the drive even if this is a further location from you

Negative experience: Horrendous place and customer service

Negative experience: I cancelled my membership on May 9 at the downtown Austin location. I was told that I'd not be billed after mid-June, but I was still billed through July. Eventually, I blocked the charges with my credit card company. It is September, and I still get payment emails. Don't recommend this chain because of such an experience.

Fantastic experience: One of the largest and nicest Gold’s gyms in the area

Fantastic experience: Great space. Always clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. My personal trainer Sofia has me on a challenging program and keeps track of my progress and keeps me accountable. If you’re looking for a very knowledgeable and professional trainer this is the best place to work out and the best place to find a PT.

Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff, they just got brand new equipment, and it’s always very clean!

Negative experience: El personal es bueno y amable. Solo que es una lastima que ese lugar se convirtio en un strip club, deberian de poner un codigo en cuanto a shorts tanto hombres y mujeres, traen tan mini short que es antihigienico, y es super incomodo tener que ver partes intimas, deberian de poner atención en eso

Positive experience: your basic gold's with decent equipment and enough room to work out. Best silver sneakers class is with Barbara.

Fantastic experience: I recently visited Gold's Gym nearby and was really impressed. The staff was super friendly, and the equipment was top-notch. I especially liked the standing hamstring curl machine. Plus, having a sauna there was a nice bonus. And there were plenty of squat racks, some even had cable machines built in!

Fantastic experience: I love the architecture of the inside of Golds on 6th but i dislike that there is a 15$ charge a month if you want to use the parking garage.. then again .. it’s the city so I get it!!

Positive experience: Brand new equipment which is rare to find in Austin, unbelievable amount of options here. I’m not a fan of their lack of consistency in allowing filming in the gym but then again it’s part of a growing culture so it’s cool. Their gm Kevin does his best to run a good gym. It’s a busy spot so I’m learning to be more flexible. This is probably their best location even though I love the slaughter@congress. They’re clearly working on cleanliness daily so ya gotta give these dudes credit.

Positive experience: The gym is clean and comfortable to visit. My issue is with the sauna. 1. It is co-ed and not spacious. 2. The seating has sharp jagged edges that rip your clothing. I ripped a brand new pair of workout leggings and when I came out to tell the manager he said "Oh I know, we are working on that" what?! So you know that the seating is ripping peoples clothing but you continue to keep the sauna open and have no signage giving a warning? The manager provided no remedy for my ripped brand new leggings and for that reason alone, I wont come back.

Positive experience: Solid gym. Most equipment works but sometimes some are broken. Giving one star rating due to experience with front desk attendant Cassandra G during my cancellation due to relocation process. Update: spoke with the reasonable GM who helped remediate the situation so increasing to 3 stars.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at this gym 15 years. I absolutely love it. All brand new equipment.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, amazing staff!

Fantastic experience: Started out as a Future Firm member. Worlds Gym bought out Future Firm and then Golds bought our Worlds. Been a member one way or the other since 1995. I like the William Cannon location. Decent amount of space and equipment.

Fantastic experience: One of the biggest South Austin gym. Lots of free weights and many machine selection

Fantastic experience: We enjoy this location immensely because one doesn't have to wait for equipment to become available. This gym isn't crowded with high school students. In fact, I usually don't see any during school hours. The staff is friendly, professional and the high level of sanitation in the locker rooms and overall. We also workout after church services on Sundays and we are satisfied that the atmosphere does not slack off.

Positive experience: All 6 of my favorite treadmills have been out of service for a while now. You are going there to work out and each member is paying a decent share of money for the privilege. The gym has a responsibility to maintain the working quality of “all” of its equipment. They have trouble with keeping up with the hand towel dispensers as well.

Negative experience: This gym haves Ben the same for several years it needs a big update I Ben coming here for 7 years or more, disappointed on the slow update to be honest but it’s a basic gym to get a work out. For the location I feel this is an over price for what they’re offering and the lady’s shower I’ve never felt they’re at a decent standers . I Ben having a membership for more than 15 years and I feel this one of the 2 golds that is slaking an upgrade asap for the price . Unfortunately if they upgrade they will charge more . I use to love this place bc it was motivating and had machines available all the time but they seam to be more out of service lately.

Fantastic experience: I was pleasantly surprised by this location. I’m think I’m gonna go back and try it one more time and explore the locker room a little bit. But the machines and the vibe and the cleanliness and the layout all seem to be good.

Fantastic experience: Great place to lift heavy stone

Fantastic experience: The environment is great at Golds, the staff is welcoming and helpful when I have questions. I also love the variety of supplements and protein drinks they have available. The weight equipment is top notch and they house some of the top brands.

Positive experience: I have been going to this location for a year or so and really like it. Definitely the cleanest Gold's I have ever seen, which is really nice. You guys should add another freemotion cable machine imo... the demand for that machine is high and the wait time for one's turn is consistently outrageously long most days. While this next issue isn't Gold's fault I have noticed people at this gym have pretty terrible gym etiquette as far as sitting on their phones/ staring into space on the popular machines. I get a little rest between sets is a reality of lifting but what people do far exceeds what can be considered normal down time in between sets. Putting a sign up encouraging people to keep it moving if they aren't working out could be useful... All in all a solid gym would recommend.

Positive experience: This is a great basic gym, but like a lot of gyms, falls short on a cpl important areas. Areas that would raise to 5 stars: 1) cleanliness — it’s just not that clean overall, especially the bathrooms. The back white wall by the entrance is a dirty dusty mess. It needs to be painted black or cleaned. You can see layers of years of dust, it’s bad 2) Movie Room — great concept, but the projector is so dim you can barely see it and speakers so low you can barely hear it. Neither should be something you strain for. Not sure if projector just needs to be adjusted, or a new projector all together. The speakers are so low you can barely hear it. Especially when all treadmills are running. Turn up brightness of movies + turn up sound a few notches and this is one of coolest ideas for a gym 3) wish there was more dead lift spots, they’re always taken at most times of day Areas that are great: 1) the staff is really friendly here 2) movie room (if the screen was brighter and sound louder) 2) the stretch area and multiple cardio areas

Negative experience: Este gym está a 8 min de mi casa y tengo que manejar 24 min sin tráfico para irme a otra locación porqué aquí no me dejan hacer FaceTime con mi entrenadora la cual vive en mexico, entiendo que algunos de los miembros se molesten o se sientan incómodos con esos influencers que todo lo quieren grabar y que hacen sus videos en el gym para sus redes sociales, pero este no es el caso simplemente quiero que mi entrenadora me entrene por video llamada y ya, yo no tengo tiempo para estar grabando y obviamente esto se lo expliqué a un trabajador del gimnasio su respuesta fue mmm pues es que algunos miembros se sienten incómodos, bueno pues entonces yo les voy a dar una estrella porque yo también soy miembro y no se me hace justo que no me dejen usar mi teléfono, aprovechando este espacio quiero dat más detalles del porque 1 estrella,este gimnasio tiene más máquinas descompuestas que buenas Necesitan meterle producción y enfocarse en lo que realmente importa. A continuación una foto para que sepan quien les está dando una estrella

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for quite some time. I don't use the gym that often as I prefer tennis as my go-to form of exercise. When the weather isn't good enough for tennis, I like to go to the gym to stay fit. This gym is conveniently located. The staff are really nice and it's very clean and well maintained. There's not much more I require in a gym and so Gold's is just great.

Fantastic experience: Google is stupid, y'all are awesome!

Negative experience: I broke my ankle and had surgery a few weeks ago. I called to freeze my account and they didn't honor the request. Its a horrible money hungry gym that doesn't care about recovery health. I don't recommend this place.

Positive experience: Alright gym. Basic necessities. Most members understand basic etiquette so that’s nice. Room for improvement: Staff just sit at the front desk chit chatting or on their phones rather than replenishing paper towels or observing for safety hazards. A few weirdos and people who just downright smell awful. I’ve gagged and literally had to stop my set and walk away a couple times. Treadmills are starting to show wear and tear, so are the cable attachments. Crunch fitness across the street is opening soon and I’m sure a lot of members here have their eyes set on the “new and clean” facility. Gold’s better step it up. The best facility around this area is still Lifetime but if you have $200/mo to workout and socialize, kudos to you. I’d rather spend that on a BJJ membership.

Negative experience: I had a super negative afternoon at the gym. A place that’s supposed to be for a community well over 1000 strong was made miserable by one man’s determination to limit the one giant fan anyone enjoying the upstairs cardio can find respite in, to nothing. I tried to make my case to the front desk who said they’d talk to him and never did. It makes it feel like a place women can be intimated into doing the lesser thing, and where anyone who throws a tantrum can have their way. This is especially uncomfortable for a place that hangs is hat on community fitness.

Fantastic experience: I've been going here for years. The staff is friendly. It's nothing fancy. It's a great place to sweat. If your into that sort of thing?

Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff. Awesome equipment.

Fantastic experience: One of the trainers was working the front desk - He was amazingly helpful and patiently answered all of my questions. I'd never been to a Gold's before but he explained everything until I was comfortable. Definitely plan to return while I'm on my out of town trip. Facility was clean and members seemed courteous!

Fantastic experience: Wide variety of equipment and helpful staff

Fantastic experience: I haven’t been a member very long however, I have an enjoyed my experiences with the overall facility and the staff. As I am transitioning gyms, I had requested tours and visited a few other gyms before signing up. I completed the tour with Joseph and he provided a detailed and informative tour. For someone who deals with social anxiety, he made sure to show me around the entire place where I could work out without having to be in the middle of the gym. Overall it’s very spacious and I like that most cardio equipment is separate from everything else. The fitness center is very spacious and I like. There are also a few rooms that you can go into and have more discrete workout. Joseph also sent me up with my 1x1 PT Jason who was AWESOME! Jason made sure to understand my fitness goals before actually training. I explained to him my hesitation with transitioning to this type of gym, and he made sure to mold the next hour, based on my goals, and how to ease into trying new workouts and equipment. He is a very down to earth person and is very good at explaining and pushing you throughout the work out as well.

Fantastic experience: In the Austin area, this was my preferred Golds Gym location. The staff is friendly and they have a lot of space with tall ceilings so it never really feels stuffy. The place is clean, people usually re-rack weights and clean up after themselves. They have nearly all of the machines and free weights you would want. 2 hack squats, 1 deadlifting/oly platform with 1 additional platform that is attached to a squat rack, 3 or 4 squat racks, 4 benches, 2 incline benches, 1 decline bench and 2 smith machines. A full dumbbell section up to 130 or so. Plenty of iron strength plate loaded machines, a large machine section and a few sets of cables. They have a second floor with tread mills, stationary bikes, stair masters, rowing machines and a punching bag. Pretty decent for a commercial gym.

Negative experience: They keep the two hot 80 degrees after two set of legs you see stars this gym is for chatting not to push you self.

Fantastic experience: My gym opens at 8 am I went to Lifetime they wanted $50 for a day pass. Golds Gym accommodated me instead and Cassandra helped expedite my entry with no waiting or salesmanship. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and helpful staff, and clean facilities.

Fantastic experience: Six stars for Brooke at the check-in counter; she’s smart, friendly and professional. Five stars for the cleanliness of the facility. Five stars for the equipment. Great gym.

Fantastic experience: The staff has been incredibly friendly every time I go in. I feel safe and comfortable working out. I did my free 1 on 1 training session with Jason, who took the time to understand my fitness goals and gave me excellent steps to advance in my fitness journey.

Positive experience: Clean location, plenty of space, but some machines are frequently out of order. Friendly staff but ineffective at fixing issues around the gym. Must need outside maintenance to fix items.

Fantastic experience: My recent experience with Gold’s Gym on West William Cannon in the last year has been excellent. The equipment works well, the gym is clean, and the staff is helpful, professional and friendly. Jason, and I met for a one time free training session. He was knowledgeable, professional, personable and kind. If I decide on training, I will definitely work with him. Thank you Jason! RRR

Fantastic experience: Excellent personal trainers! Clean gym with good selection of machines.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Everything you need and more. The staff is nice and helpful and the facility is kept up really well.

Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve been to in Austin besides the one on downtown

Negative experience: This manager at this location is rude and is not an understanding person. It was perfectly fine when I wanted to try out the gym for a day with a different employee that helped me out, I signed up immediately because of the hospitality of that employee. But my brother decided to try the gym out when the GM was working, he was rude and stubborn with his answers and would not let him try the gym out because he did not have a Texas ID and couldn’t show proof of residency but how is he suppose to show proof when he doesn’t own the house and is living with parents. We clearly are residence in Austin but he wouldn’t allow if we didn’t have proof of residency. I said repeatedly that we live here but he kept saying we are visitors. It’s a day pass, I don’t know why he would be so stingy about it. The manager is so desperate to get a single sign up, he did not think what could cost him on the long run. That’s not how you treat customers and how you lose customers. Let the other employees manage, they treat customers better!

Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff. Reggie on early mornings is the best! The main cleaning lady is always so nice and keeps the place so clean.

Fantastic experience: This location is awesome and double decker and they have so much equipment

Fantastic experience: I'm really reviewing a staff member rather than the facility, but before I do I am extremely happy with the facility. Even though I work out at a different Golds in the AM, my personal trainer recently transferred so I joined him at this location for my one-on-ones and for the times I go it's perfect for my needs. Back to the reason for my review, Anthony (Tony) Wasicki has helped me change my life, first time with a personal trainer and I couldn't be happier. Thanks to Tony's regimen, since December I've dropped from 45% body fat to 26%, dropped 3 inches from my waist and significantly redefined my upper body - great trainer who honestly gives a damn about his clients and wants them to succeed. A gym that employs a solid staff member like this gets a solid review from me every time. Now if they'd just fix the parking problem for the after work crowd..:)

Fantastic experience: I like the openness of the facilities and it is always immaculate. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I have had two trainers here (one transferred to another Gold's Gym) and they are friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this Gold's to anyone.

Fantastic experience: We moved from the north side of Austin where we had the chance to workout at 4 of there north locations. Now I live closer to the locations on e Ben White and the I35 and William Cannon but I drive further to this one near Mopac because the employees and the members of this gym are superior by far. The facility and machine are well keeped. Parking lot is clean and feels safer than any other Golds gym location. The kids club is great and the kids don't want to leave. This is our favorite location in all of Austin. I don't always rate with a 5 star in fact I have rated the other location with a lower grade. Hope this help,

Fantastic experience: This location has a great atmosphere, facilities are always clean, and all of the equipment you could ask from a gym. It also has the oh so popular movie/cardio room. Makes cardio sessions breeze by. This is my favorite Golds Gym location in Austin. I have closer locations to me, but still prefer to go to this one.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, Location and experience. This gym has a wide variety of machines for my needs. I love the pure motion workout.

Fantastic experience: I was at first really hesitant about joining the gym, although I really needed to. I opted to work with a personal trainer knowing I was going to need some help and motivation. I have to say Chase Carter is an AWESOME trainer he listens to what your looking for and helps you to make and reach your goals. All interactions I've had with the staff are great, but Chaser is by far the Best!

Fantastic experience: This is probably my favorite Gold's Gym location although it is probably a little further than some would like. It looks like it was recently built and all the cardio and weight machines feel new and current. There also some excellent spin classes early in the morning if you want to get your workout done before sunrise.

Fantastic experience: Gold's Gym is great. My membership has lapsed but will soon be restarted. Can't wait!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff. Great environment. A special thanks to my trainer Tony. He has found a way to get results and stay motivated. In the past I would have given up, but we are still going strong and getting great results. I was a little skeptical at first, but put my trust in him. I'm so glad I did!

Fantastic experience: This is a great golds gym location because it offers a very large area for all your workout essentials: free weights, machines and a second floor for all your cardio needs. This is located in a mini shopping area which includes plenty of parking spots. When Im on this side of town this is my go to gym.

Fantastic experience: Nice place friendly workers

Fantastic experience: Clean gym with good selection of equipment. Plenty of machines, free weights, cables, and cardio options.

Fantastic experience: Good location, just wish it were open later on weekends.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Very friendly environment. Plenty of equipment

Fantastic experience: The best GG in Austin. I’ve heard Dripping Springs is even better. No pics cause my phone stays in my vehicle.Trust me on this one … xd

Fantastic experience: Best gold’s gym in Austin. The Manager Nash is great would highly recommend it to any one!

Positive experience: I travel a lot for work and I've seen a lot of Gold's Gyms, this is the best one I've been in. Really nice staff, TONS of bench press spots, lots of DL platform/Squat racks, a separate, QUIET room for stretching or core/ab work. Very clean, not terribly crowded (I went at an off time). My only complaint would be not enough plates in the bench press area, I had to go searching.

Fantastic experience: Best gold’s gym in Austin. The Manager Nash is great would highly recommend it to any one!

Fantastic experience: GM and staff have always been helpful especially with my last issue getting logged in to the Gold’s app. They got me squared away and fixed my issue.

Fantastic experience: Nice well equiped Gold's location, friendly helpfull staff and a good gym culture. Going to be my go to gym here in Austin. I was impressed with the amount of equipment on hand, And the trainers.. Went back after a few weeks.. didn't want to go when it was busy, didn't want to feel uncomfortable going back to the gym. It was fine, there are people there in all stages of fitness don't seem judgy at all. Relaxed and comfortable environment.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place, big, a lot of variety and a super good management from what I can tell. I like that place a lot.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to this golds for 10+ years and have always had a wonderful experience. I even worked here for a short time during the pandemic (I’m a healthcare worker and needed a reprieve from the hospital at the time) and the experience was just as great. Friendly staff, wonderful management and very clean environment. The GM Nash is always friendly and easily approachable to the members and staff alike, always a pleasant experience conversing with him. The equipment is always clean (Maria is fantastic) and there are numerous paper towel stations with spray bottles available. The new stretching room is a great addition to the gym as it eases up some of the foot traffic on the workout floor and offers a quieter space to focus. I look forward to keep using this gym as long as I’m living in Austin.

Fantastic experience: First time going, it's a busy gym with a small Suana, huge class area, tons of equipment, everyone is focused and in good spirits. Staff was very helpful. Tons of parking around.

Fantastic experience: This has been my home gym since COVID started. Staff and other gym-goers are friendly; I have no complaints. Love working out here.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out at this Gold’s Gym since 2017 when I moved to Austin. While I no longer live close to this location, it is still the Gold’s that I go to daily because, in my opinion, it is the best Gold’s in South Austin. The staff are always really friendly and are happy to strike up a conversation, and the equipment is always clean. This year, they renovated the Kids Club and turned it into a stretching room, which has helped decongest the gym during busy times, as people used to stretch openly on mats around the gym. Even during busy hours, it isn’t terribly difficult to find a way to get a great workout in. 10/10 recommend this location!

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy going to Austin South Golds Gym. I have been to many of the Golds in Austin and I believe it’s the cleanest most friendly Gym in town.

Fantastic experience: always cleaning! i like that. mucho equipment and added to, from time to time. kept in great repair. staff has always been helpful and answered all my questions. clean showers and locker room. other members friendly and mind their own business.

Fantastic experience: The Gym is old and could use some upgrades. How ever the staff is great. Especially the managers. They all work hard to keep the place clean and working. The location is great and the atmosphere in the gym is good. Also like all the trainers.

Negative experience: the gym is extremely crowded during times after working hours on weekdays. Since 24 fitness closed across the street, they have gotten some of their patrons, me being on of them. It is extremely off putting that they have not expanded hours back to pre covid hours. Also the cycling equipment is not being maintained well.

Positive experience: Overall this is a pretty nice location, but it does get pretty busy sometimes.

Positive experience: Overall this is a pretty nice location, but it does get pretty busy sometimes.

Positive experience: Good store good staff.

Fantastic experience: Excelente gimnasio!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym usually have the machine or equipment I need but can be packed sometimes (but not usually in the early morning 6am-12). Staff is friendly and so are the people that go there. Most people don't wear masks here anymore, but some people will still clean machines after using them with provided paper towels and disinfectant.

Fantastic experience: The gym has pleasant front desk attendants. There are plenty hand sanitizing stations everywhere. I enjoy the group exercises classes. Today I attended the Vinyasa Flow with Brenda. It was amazing! There was plenty of space to social distance during the class. I love this gym & the group exercise options available.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Just wish they would turn on the fans lol

Fantastic experience: Reggie is the best! He always makes people feel welcomed and encourages everyone to enjoy the visit. The place is always clean and people are respectful of the situation. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Oh Yeah It's definitely my new home gym they have bodybuilding equipment as well as power lifting equipment plus everything for cardio and CrossFit They are definitely giving Metro Flex a run for their money.

Fantastic experience: Place was clean, machines were all in good shape, there was a good selection. That's all I need.

Fantastic experience: I really didn't want to go tothe gym with the stiff covid restrictions and I did not want to try to work out wearing a mask. They're back in business and everything's rocking and rolling. They're under new management and everything seems better than it was before. Signup today and get back in shape!

Fantastic experience: Glad to see that starting 10-Mar, mask will be voluntary at this gym. Been waiting a long time for this. Time to stop this panic theatre and useless mask virtue signaling. Looking forward to finally getting a full intensity workout at the gym.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Clean facility and friendly people. Awesome group fitness instructors!

Fantastic experience: Great Gym! Very spacious and the equipment is new, everything was working just fine and I was pleasantly surprised to see it has a little sauna! Love it! I loved the fact that it was not packed like other gyms!

Fantastic experience: The manager Jose O is such a nice guy, super professional and helpful. Highly recommend this location

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, tons of space, lots of options for whatever workout you are doing. My favorite golds.

Fantastic experience: Very nice gym!

Negative experience: Every time I decide to use this Gold’s location they have some new rules that make no sense. I was informed today that we as paying gym goers are NOT allowed to have our gym bags on the gym floor with us. When I asked why, I was told because bags are tripping hazards (but me having everything that I use inside my bag all on the floor apparently isn’t a hazard). Mind you almost all gym goers with bags had them either right next to their feet in the area they were working in or tucked against whatever machine they were working on (all bags out of way). I’m unclear if this is an “all Gold’s Gym rule” or just this location. Gold’s gyms are started appear like Plant Fitness gyms with all these bs nonsense “rules.”

Fantastic experience: Good facility my home gym

Negative experience: Majority of people in the gyms don't wear masks and gold gym corporate doesn't authorizes employees to tell people masks are required. They are living in an alternate reality here.
