Tony XerriOctober 28, 2013The greatest gym on the planet. Absolutely honored to have gotten a great workout here, even if it's just a day. Motivational, historical, and not for nothing the members are super nice. Love it here.
This gym has everything. It's all well used but kept in good condition still. There's a great outside area so you can work out in the sun. I'd recommend it!
Alex PyatetskyFebruary 27, 2017Awesome gym if you like being in an environment where you're surrounded by others who are serious about their training. No pool/steam/sauna - or as they say at gold's, "p$&@y s#*t."
Becca MochiMarch 21, 2018Dated equipment and usually pretty crowded but it gets the job done, the people watching makes for some good motivation
Lift outside shirtless. You can do a full body workout there. Come inside and enjoy the rugged nature of metal and humanity. The only competition is the person in the mirror. 💪🏾
JasonSeptember 1, 2012Best gym ever. Inspiration drips from the walls. No spa. Equipment is rusty and old. Smells a bit funky sometimes. Great place for a serious workout.
Ђорђе ГлигоријевићJuly 4, 2017This place is more of a museum than a regular gym! That being said you will break your personal records in weightlifting here.
Fitness MagazineSeptember 10, 2012Fun fact, gym-goers: In a recent study, participants who did something different every day for a month lost, on average, an extra pound a week (without diet changes). Bust out of your rut today!
Rob RichesMay 4, 2012One of my favorite places in the world to train, especially in the outdoor area in the LA sun!! Always a famous face to be seen too!!
Philip BolayFebruary 4, 2014Love this gym though mafia of old trainers in the morning talking loud and monopolizing equipment is a disturbance !!- MuscleTechJune 17, 2011Gold's Gym is considered the Mecca of bodybuilding in the US. Plenty of celebrities train here & the gym is full of hardcore, pro-bodybuilders like Arnold Schwarzenegger getting ripped every day.
The Most Interesting Man in the WorldMarch 27, 2014I used to help spot a man here every now and again in early ‘70s. I hear he went into politics.- Philip BolayFebruary 4, 2014Another thing so sad to see the members never putting back the dumbbells in order and breaking pins to add weights to machines. Sports performance means also respect of equipment and others
Dwayne KilbourneApril 16, 2013All bodybuilders have to experience the history of this gym at least once in a lifetime!
Great place to work out if you want to be inspired. Saw Dwayne Johnson here!
If you pee on the seat (unisex bathroom) - WIPE IT OFF and don't forget to flush dumb dumbs
This place is great for working out during off peak hours. Beware of the gorilla juice heads who act as if they own the joint.
If you take group exercise classes especially yoga...be prepared for people to be rude and cause distractions by coming in late.- CellucorJanuary 23, 2013The true #MECCA of Bodybuilding! Hardcore bodybuilders and fitness fanatics have to come here at least once!
Most inspirational gym ever ..!! This is serious fitness
Ride your motorcycle there. Always Rockstar parking by the front door
Brock BentsonSeptember 15, 2012The free pass if bullshit. Only for local residents. As always Golds Gym with blatant false and misleading advertising.
Nikko Garcia-BeanApril 18, 2010Go Shop in the Pro Shop....Ask for Nikko and let her know that you saw her on foursquare on you get 10% OFF apparel or concessions,..:)) Read more
Check out Steven Leigh's KungYoga class - it's a great workout, and everyone gets some individual attention, too.
My biceps are known to cause malnutrition and blindness in small children
Fitness is not just about weights. Abs are made in the kitchen. For a free PT session talk to Travis Kindl and mention this tip on 4square.- Try re-racking your weights. It's a great concept for all
To avoid 180 dumbbells falling on your feet, please rerack your weight.- If the hat is on and the headphones are in, DON'T TALK TO ME!
- Philip BolayFebruary 4, 2014Another tip : they could add or replace some oldies with Hoist and techno gym modern advanced equipment. The second hall is a Shame for such a gym. Also no more T-bar rows ??!
- Don't let Google buy the bldg. and kick Gold's out!!!
Saturday 9am Spin Class with Hedda...kicks my ass..sign-up early..
