Gold's Gym

Let's start off with NASTY. Only way to explain this place. We joined in North Charleston because it was new and the staff was amazing. We then moved to West Ashley and was stuck going to the James Island location. The owner comes in every morning and walks right past the dirty part he calls a "gym". We were told that the maintenance fee was going to go towards new treadmills. NOPE. Everything is old. But, he walks around in his Kiawah polos all the time. Must be tough. The front desk is some what kind. We went in at 5:15 this morning and the lady working the front desk was rude as hell. Didnt say good morning or how are you doing. All we heard from her was "do you have a gym membership". Rude as hell. The owner last week was with his buddies working out and after we used the equipment we wipe ours down, unlike 99.99% of the gym members. They came up behind us and said dont even worry about wiping it down we will just get it sweaty anyway. This morning they used 5 pieces of equipment without wiping anything down. That is just gross. It starts from the top down. Trainers do not even wipe things down when they are done. Just a horrible place to work out. Sad that James Island doesn't have another place people can go too. Consider other places before signing up if possible.
Ripoff. Equipment is filthy, not to mention outdated.. The "owner" Cliff is a pompous idiot and won't spend money to run this place like a real gym. Stay far away.
Love how they charge you a yearly 50 dollar "maintenance" fee. They maintain nothing. Two years of waisted money same busted dumbbells same busted benches....Almost broke my back on one of the benches that was missing three of the four screws that hold it together. Chewed management out about it....2 years later no change. Over priced, Crowded Crap Gym and the desk lady got an attitude when I canceled.
That new room y'all added would be great for some more squat racks and Olympic platforms! #notababygym
Awesome facility with a great staff. Clean and well equipped gym.
