Gold's Gym San Antonio Fiesta Trails — Attraction in San Antonio

Love everyone here. Been a member since 07 and coming here years, besides the covid break. It’s basically my home and family. I could go on and on about how I like Raul and all the people who work here. I am extremely thankful for this gym and everyone there. I am very busy during the day and while I miss when the gym was open later, it’s right by my place and very convenient and I appreciate all they do for me. This gym reminds me of my old gym and the classic Gold’s feel. I hope it stays that way. Has good equipment.

All new cardio equipment upstairs, for the people who come to the gym once, who cried on reviews that the old ones, that worked perfectly well, had a little rust on them. You can sleep well now cause the entire upstairs is brand new equipment. So come check it out. Also remember, newer doesn’t always equal better when it comes to workout equipment. Sometimes if it’s old and not broke, don’t fix it. But folks who care about everything being new and shiny will be happy, and the equipment works great.

Lot of good equipment and free weights on the floor. Some new equipment as well. Everything you need for a good workout.

One thing, I feel I have no one to listen to me and I noticed a recent review saying the same thing so decided to pile on. Great gym, but music is so loud it gives you a headache, triggers PTSD, can’t hear my own music ever, or the person talking right next to me. Definitely needs to be kicked down several notches. I don’t want to complain about it for the twentieth time but they say corporate wants it that way so there’s no one to listen to you about it. 5 stars for the gym and people though. Music is unbearably loud however. Would love to hear my own music from time to time. Previous Gold’s Gym in Corpus Christi wasn’t this loud.

Another one of my opinions as an experienced Gold’s gym member. A lot of good equipment on the floor was recently replaced as well, because a different golds closed, although they all worked well and didn’t need to be replaced. None of it affects me too much. Luckily they left a couple of the old epic benches, which are thicker and higher quality. I know a few people who don’t like the new benches. I feel some of the replacements were done without thought, but most of the equipment is the same or similar to what was replaced so no big deal. Once again, you have all the equipment you need here. I just get used to my favorite equipment.

The replacement that affects me the most is the weighted ab crunch machine. We had a Nautilus which was goated, replaced with a rocit hoist which is nonergonomic, one size fits all with no height adjustment, hurts your back. Forces you to grip handle bars with no elbow rest, so you use more arms than abs with a nonergonomic movement. Although, this can be replaced with standing cable crunches or decline sit ups. So while some replacements seemed done just for the heck of it, most of the good equipment was retained or replaced with an equal model of a darker color, so no big deal. Couple other things replaced but once again, no big deal. Just my opinions on some of the equipment changes. Some of them I like. Hoist rocit machines aren’t quite my style but others like them. I do like the new hamstring curl, but glad we kept the other one behind it and the old quad extension. The only additional equipment I think this gym could benefit from is some different hammer strength plate loaded chest machines. The ones we have just don’t hit the chest at quite the right angle in my opinion. Although that’s just my opinion, plenty of people use them and like them.

I recommend this gym to everyone, beginners and experienced alike. Ask us anything, family atmosphere. Would be nice if the extra money we spend over crunch gets us our basketball court back, which is sitting unused, another corporate decision that makes no sense. But if the loud bad music doesn’t drive me out of Gold’s nothing will. Crunch doesn’t have anything better that I’m aware of. I’ll delete the music portion of this review when the music is at a...

I’m writing this review because I’ve already tried multiple ways of fixing this issue and no attention or resolution has been given. I used to be a customer at golds gym at fiesta trails in San Antonio, Tx. I cancelled my membership mid August personally in person. At the time of cancelling I was given a paper where it confirmed my membership cancellation. 5 months later I get a call from a collections agency explaining I owe $330.00 that was sent to them from Golds gym. I went in today to the fiesta trails location to see what was going on and the Danielle the “manager” explains I supposedly never cancelled that there is no notes posted on my account.I told her I didn’t have the paper anymore obviously since it’s been more than 5 months and I never received an email to confirm my cancellation since the receptionist didn’t cancelled my membership correctly. I told her to check the cameras to confirm I was present and she could see I had gone in there to cancel. She told me there was no cameras that they didn’t work( I guess there just there for display)!!!! She told me that, If i didn’t have anything confirming I had cancelled there was nothing I could do about it. I’m seriously very angry because I’m not willing to pay more than $300 for a mistake some employee made. The agreement was I had 90 days cancel membership after and to cancel in person and that’s what exactly I did. I’m not willing to be screwed over for a very big Mistake someone did on my behalf. I want to take legal action in also going to wait tomorrow to call...

I have been going here since they opened. Other reviews are correct about the broken down equipment. We get leftovers when the other gyms get new stuff. I think there are only 2 treadmills that have working fans anymore. They also take months to fix broken equipment, and the sanitizer bottles are either out completely or filled with plain water. But my main problem now is the change in hours. VERY UPSETTING!!! Already bad enough that they changed from 24 hours to 4 am. Not only do I now have to cut my workout short since I used to get there at 3:15 am, but I knew when this started a few weeks ago they would once again have employees not showing up to open the gym. Well guess what?? For the 2nd time in a week there was no one there to open the gym at 4am!!! Not only that, but other members realized if you just pull on the door hard, it will open. So everyone just started going in and working out in the dark, with no lights or air on. By 5am when I left, it was still dark. There were about 20 - 25 people working out inside, with no employee anywhere!! This has been a problem for years. This is why I stopped working out on Monday mornings - the employees never showed up to work! Luckily, the gym was 24 hours after that so I at least got to workout Tuesday - Friday. Now, that isn't possible anymore either since no one shows up to open!! Saturdays and Sundays are just as bad. Too many times I have shown up at 7 am when they open and everyone is standing outside waiting. There was one Saturday I waited an hour and still no...
