Gold's Gym Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I've worked for Gold's Gym as an Intern Manager for my last semester of college. I was the highest seller every month that I had worked there. My supervisor was very impressed with me because of how well I handled customer complaints and help to satisfy many customers. I learned a lot from my supervisor and I was able to run the whole gym really well without my supervisor there."

"I worked for Gold's Gym for approximately 9 months. My only reason for leaving was due to Covid-19 layoffs. The company supports growth within the organization. With new ownership in 2020, Gold's Gym is sure to continue to grow and expand in many ways. The benefits were great and the work/life balance was amazing. The new ownership group restructured the management hierarchy, so I am not sure what things function like now."

What don't you like about working at Gold's Gym?

"New people who haven't worked 20-30 years can be frustrating. I found myself not talking, just doing all I saw that needed to be done at many levels, noticing who could work best with which clients, all general office duties, training referrals, some client management, all forms/logs, 2006 all register and reconciling, all storage organizing, all customer forms, as service for them, faxing/filling them out for them, holding/mailing, custom orders, paper/efiles, sales of retail products, open/close, yet overlooked consistently, years."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Do some of your own thinking. Notice which people are doing extra and fight for them. Don't use up best talent, do indoctrinate incoming not just with rules, but with mission statement, corporate goals and how individual employees fit in. Communications between site and corporate management have to be good and reliance on electronics and an always be polite habit, is no good when site opens two weeks late, hole in roof, nightly site problems, leaky ceilings which rain inside, and floods. Throw a fit if it's your reputation on the line, at the people who are supposed to take care of it. They get high steady salary and benefits and if they have to roll up pants/sleeves to mop up the damn flood, they should do it. I did it because no one else cared enough to make things work, some of the time, and we had no idea what to tell customers. So we covered and compensated. All of us, initially under Freschette, Miklos, Vergari."

Also, it was hard to get enough clients. Most of the trainers were unhappy with the number of clients that they had, yet Gold's would just continue to hire more and more trainers."

"Make sure there is enough work for the trainers to do in order to make a decent salary."
