Gold's Gym - Fort Walton Beach — Attraction in Fort Walton Beach

This gym has declined steadily for the last couple years. They added 6 new half power racks as their solution for renovation and jacked monthly dues up to compensate, but offers nothing more than average local gyms. There are no actual bench press stations (only the aforementioned power racks that aren't full power racks with adjustable benches). Their leg equipment is limited, no actual hack squat only a v-squat and 2 leg presses. Equipment will be broken and remain broken for months. I've reported issues with stairmasters which weren't addressed for several months.

There is a stark and clear difference between the Miramar location and the Fort Walton location. The Miramar location sports much better equipment and has additional amenities that are not offered at Fort Walton.

The front door malfunctions on almost a weekly basis at fort Walton and affects 24/7 access and they will NOT reimburse for days it's broken. I was told "Cox internet doesn't reimburse you if the internet is out and the power company doesn't either". Cox does in fact reimburse for outages if you file a report and you can't be charged if your power is out. Poor customer service was the nail in the coffin for me, Hardbody is almost HALF the price now with better equipment and...

I had a free day pass and I own a vacation home in Fort Walton Beach. I walked in and nobody was working the front desk so I started my workout. The manager approached me in the middle of my workout to tell me that the day pass was for Fort Walton residents only and you have to have a valid Florida ID. I told him I was a property owner in Fort Walton but he REFUSED to honor the pass. He said it would be $20 for a day pass. I have never been treated so rudely in my 20 years of visiting Gold's Gym's. I laughed at him about the $20 day pass. This is probably one if the worst Gold's Gym facilities I have ever been in. It is dirty, run down and at 5:00 p.m. the place was empty. I had every intention of purchasing a 2-week pass while I was in town because it is the ONLY Gym. I can see why this place doesn't have a lot of business if it treats people the way I...

I love traveling and visiting different gyms and I’m a powerlifter so I need minimal equipment when I lift. Which this gym does have everything I need but the equipment they have seem to be run down and needs updating. This place says they support veterans but does not offer a military discount especially for ones getting a day or week pass. Speaking of day and week passes, $20 is pretty standard for a day pass but I can’t get over that my gym back home has way more equipment, a more modern and newer and cleaner environment and with other amenities that only costs me $25/month for. Not to mention the week pass here is $70. That’s quite steep for a week pass… if it wasn’t for the fact that this is the only place open before 7 am I would not be coming here. If you don’t need an early morning workout, tbh you’re better off finding a...
