Gold's Gym Austin Tech Ridge

I really like Golds Gym (facitlity wise), but I notice that it is also poorly managed. Sometimes I think the staff treats you nice based on looks alone. I have had an experience where I was treated horribly, but these other ladies with barely anything on were treated so nicely for a request I was denied. Golds Gym needs to mature and know that they run a business, and to stop flirting with their customers and attend to people who actually have a distressing situation. I would have complained sooner, but I realized at the end of it all, does anyone really listen.

I've been a Gold's member for about 8-9 years now, and as far as I know, this is the only location with a pool. I thought they used to have one down south, but I guess they don't anymore.



This Gold's has some pretty nice little features. They have two different cardio studios and a separate spin room. Their 3 lane pool is heated and is pretty well maintained. They also have a machine in the dressing room that will wring out your wet bathing suit for you. The machines here are newer and nicer too. Probably the most impressive to me is the theatre room where you can do cardio on machines while watching a movie on the big screen. Outside of the theatre room is a flat screen monitor so you can see what movie is on and at what point the movie is playing.



Probably the thing I like least about this gym as well as the other Gold's gyms is that it's not really a 24/7 gym. On the weekends, it closes at night and doesn't open again until 8am. Believe it or not, there are people like me with odd schedules and workout hours. You'd think they would keep a nice big one like that open 24/7. It's otherwise a pretty nice gym to workout at.

And it has everything! And they have a very friendly staff and lots of equipment.
