Gold’s Gym

I adored Gold’s. While I no longer am close enough to O’Fallon to be a member, it’s a top-​notch gym with awesome amenities. Lots of CLEAN machines, cardio cinema, girls’ only portion (for those who’d prefer), and the BEST part — the group classes. The classes absolutely sold me and were my drive to become a member. I truly miss them. The staff is knowledgeable and courteous. 24 hours is a HUGE plus. If this gym is convenient for you, forgo the super cheap specials. You get what you pay for at Gold’s…every dime!

The gym is stocked with plenty of machines so rarely a wait to use one. Clean, good hours, daycare is a bonus too. My kids love it in there. The staff is caring and hands on with them. Lots of classes.

Nice facilities… decent weight set ups… class rooms are not well situated… child care available… cardio theater room is cool… as is the seperate abs, and ladies areas. There class selection sucks… they are lays full… and not very convenient for working adults.

Worst management in the world. Will haggle over $ 45 after u have spent thousands. Run when u see the manager outside smoking.

Great group exercise classes, plenty of equipment. Pool, sauna, and whirl po. Gym is 24 hours except on the weekends. Offers daycare. There’s a tanning salon conveniently inside as well.

I enjoyed the gym while I was a member but decided to take a cheaper, more convenient route. I have tried three times to cancel my account and I am still receiving bills in the mail. I tried to cancel it in the gym and over the phone. I even sent in a final check with «membership cancellation» written in the memo and I just received another bill in the mail. I have not been to the gym since January. In January, I paid off my remaining balance and told them I am not renewing, yet I continue to have fees. I joined Club Fitness and I love it… All I want to do is cancel my membership! Do not join this gym unless you plan to never pay off your membership and cancel. Ending your time with this gym is like going through an expensive and very stressful divorce.

Worst customer service I have ever seen. No one knows anything about the schedule, equipment, etc. Called the 800 number to get some answers, they are just as bad.

i like the gym, just wish they would get a bigger room for doing more cross fit stuff.

All I wanted in a gym is a swimming pool, and this gym has it! it’s clean and much cheaper than the YMCA.
What I like about the gym: The cycle class, body flow class, and body pump class each have their own room… which is not typical in many gyms. There is also a good amount of free weights. It’s layout is open so I don’t feel cramped or claustrophobic.
The other things that are nice is the women’s section and the cardio movie theater.
I don’t like socializing at the gym so I can’t really comment on the sense of community. Otherwise, staff is nice and it’s clean. I get my workout in and leave.
Overall, for the price, I have no complaints. Oh yeah, I don’t play basketball, but the basketball court is not a full court and has cement flooring, not good for the joints.

The Cardio Cinema room is what makes this gym for me. When I get up enough motivation to work out after a long day at work, I go straight to this room. Getting your mind off of working out while you’re doing it is brilliant (I should add paying too close attention to the screen while you’re running might not be the best idea, I’ve almost fallen a couple times).
While I love that they have a smoothie bar here, I’m not a fan of their drinks. This might just be my Smoothie King & Jamba Juice bias kicking in, but I don’t think they taste that great.
The membership fees are super reasonable! For one reason or another, I always assumed gyms were expensive (being a military dependent and then going into the military myself, I always had access to a free gym), but I was pleasantly surprised by Gold’s. They even offer you a free t-​shirt when you refer someone and give them a deal on their membership fees.

When I have been to a gym it was only ever the gym on base. So when I received a free 7 day trial to to Gold’s Gym I was very excited. The owner of the O’Fallon Gold’s gave me a tour and explained what they had to offer. Within 45 minutes of using their facilities I was hooked.
Love the women’s gym, the Ab room and the classes that they have to offer.
My boyfriend enjoyed it so much when he came in for a 3 day free trial with me, that he plans to join under my account.

Horrible customer service. In a day and age where service drives your business I’m disgusted by the service I received today.
I recently moved to the area and was a member of Gold’s about 6 years ago. I called ahead of time to get a pass and I was told by Holly to come in and get a pass. Once I came in and they found out I was a member years ago they denied me a pass to try it out again and wanted to charge me a day pass. All I wanted to do was workout and come back and sign up. No one seemed concerned or cared about the bigger picture. I was just there to get a workout in.
Working out is hard enough for people but why make it harder to work out? Why put yet another obstacle in the way of people’s health?
I went down the road and signed up at another gym. They actually cared about my fitness goals and why I was in the gym. Not the bottom dollar. Gold’s will become Bally’s here in a few years when people wise up to their business practices. Very disappointed.
I’d give zero stars if it was an option. Please don’t waste your time. Support the smaller gyms that care about their members and their goals.

This is the best Gold’s gym I’ve been to in terms of facilities and amenities. There’s a pool and a hot tub! And really nice cardio machines. The girl behind the counter was kind of grumpy though, and the chocolate-​flavored carb cutter smoothie she made me was barely edible. I think she put too much chromium in it? But it’s a brand-​new gym, pretty nice all around.

i’ve been a member of gold’s gym on & off for about 6 years now. & i LOVE this gym.
i joined around when they first opened this ginormous gym, but then i moved out to west STL. i went to the gold’s off of dorsett out there & it was pitiful compared to this awesome location! i’ve also belonged to STL workout, which was horrible & club fitness, which was alright, but their locations can be kind of sketchy.
this giant gold’s has everything! cardio cinema (for those of you that get bored while doing cardio like me– you can watch a movie & sweat!), sauna, pool, jacuzzi, day care, basketball court, a studio for classes, a cycling room, a lady golds (women only!), a smoothie bar, and a tan co, for all you pale faces that need some color.
i’m getting married in august & i was desperately in need of a body makeover, so i stopped in & talked to the reps about some personal training. it’s not the cheapest, but depending on your package, you can get hooked up with some PT for around $ 50/​hour! like i said, not the cheapest, but definitely not the most expensive that i’ve seen. most of the trainers are in GREAT shape, which means that they must have an idea of what they’re doing. also, if you don’t like your trainer– your styles don’t mesh or whatever– you can always switch trainers!
i train with kelly & she’s great! she tortures me with lots of squats, lunges & pushups– which are a girl’s best friend. when i’m doing them, i wanna die, but i know it’ll be worth it! lol. so if you need a good butt-​kicking, stop by & ask to set up an orientation with her, or any of the other great trainers there!
also, i already had a membership, but when i got the training sessions, they hooked me up with a free 3 months for my fiancé! you don’t have to belong to get the training sessions, which is great, but they will probably hook you up with free time for purchasing a package! not harm in asking about it!

I absolutly love the theater room, they have never played a re-​run in over a year that i have been a member, for those of you that like to run but get bored easily this room rocks! the pool is never too crowded and open all the time which is nice too! Also, they just got all new dumbbell weights and the machines are still practically brand new, they have a sauna in the locker rooms, and to top it off if you have kids, and heres the kicker for you, they have daycare included in your membership for 2hrs a day… so its pretty much like the gym is free!
i know they have a lot of classes to offer and if you need anything they are pretty good with getting it if its reasonable

For the area Golds is as good as it gets. For around $ 30 a month ($ 1 a day, that is NOT expensive!, if it is cut a coffee or daily something out of your day and get your butt on that treadmill!, stop making excuses) There cardio cinema room is amazing! It keeps your mind off the actual workout, that is if its a good movie and not a slow one!
The classes are great, they have Zumba, Hip-​hop, spin, yoga, pilates, bodycombat, bodypump, step and more.
The childcare is awesome with a membership you get 2 hours a day of free childcare the hours are mon-​fri 8 – 1 and 4 – 9 and sat and sun from 8 – 1

Honestly, for what you pay it’s worth it. And they have the best smoothie bar around if your looking for protein smoothies. Sometimes their equipment breaks, but they are quick to fix it. Their day care that is included in your membership is great. The girls there are so great with kids. Until the child is 6 months they will watch one hour a day. M-​F 8 – 1 and 4−9pm. And Sat and Sundays just 8 – 1. I wish they made Sundays later because that doesn’t really work with church and all. If your child is over 6 months they will watch them up to 2 hours a day. Again this is included in your membership. Great deal and responsible sweet girls!

As another reviewer stated, lots of equpment, and it seems to be in decent shape. However really poor customer service.
Tried to return a shirt I bought from them two days prior because it looked better on the rack then on me. Brought the shirt in with the receipt, tag still attached and in the original bag, was told THEY DON’T ACCEPT RETURNS!!! What respectable business in the 21^st century doesn’t accept returns? Do they think they’re an airline or ticketmaster? WTF? Was told it states their policy on the receipt, until she looked at the receipt and said, «oh I guess not, but it states it in the apparel section.» Wrong again, I checked that too. Absolutely ridiculous policy. Told her I would donate the shirt to goodwill and then never buy another thing from that gym again… energy drinks, bars, you name it. I’m done supporting their business.
DON’T BUY APPAREL AT GOLDS GYM O FALLON!

Lot of equipment, open and bright. No towel service.
It’s no «LifeTime Fitness»…I’m spoiled by what we have in Chanhassen, MN., but good for a workout when visiting relatives in IL/​MO.
