Gym members consistently highlight the dry sauna as a standout feature, noting it is kept spotless and provides a reliable space for relaxation and recovery after workouts. The sauna is part of a comprehensive facility that includes the latest cardio and strength training equipment, with specific areas for barbells, lifting platforms, turf, and group fitness studios. This Gold's Gym location offers 24/7 access and a diverse range of exercise programs such as Zumba, BodyPump, and Spinning. Many members appreciate the positive, old-school gym atmosphere combined with new-school gear, where staff are often described as friendly and hype members up without a sales pitch. The gym also provides amenities like tanning and locker rooms. However, experiences with maintenance and administration vary. While many report the gym is clean, well-organized, and equipment is often in good working order, others note inconsistent upkeep. Specific concerns include broken or long-term "under repair" machines, a lack of hand sanitizer, and issues with cleanliness in the women's restrooms and showers. Parking can be difficult and has led to towing incidents for some members. The membership cancellation process is reported to be challenging, with some members stating online links do not work and being directed to cancel in person or via mail.
