Gold's Gym — Local services in Albemarle

My experience at Gold's Gym has always been a great one, having been a member there for four years, I wouldn't choose any other gym. One thing that really drew me to this gym besides the nice machines were the spotless bathroom facilities, great sauna room, tanning beds, smoothie bar, and not to mention the full-sized basketball court. Not only does the Albemarle location have great setup, the staff are all very friendly and many know the clients by name. Even though it is meant to be a serious atmosphere for working out, Gold's Gym in Albemarle provides safe, warm, environment not typically found at other gyms.

I always look forward to getting in my workout for the day (rare, I know :)) because of the great place Gold's Gym has...

I feel like I have an extended family here with the caring staff as well as my friends made in the time I earned being there. I would encourage anyone looking to feel better about themselves to come check us out and be apart of something that will improve yourself and your daily...

I was in Albermarle for 2 days and needed a gym so I called Gold's. They offered $8/day passes so I paid the $16. The front desk staff was very nice and helpful. The weights side of things is great...plenty of benches, 2 squat racks, lots of free weights with plenty of space. The cardio side...not so much. The first 2 ellipticals were broken, only one of the t.v. connections worked, the machines were dirty...but I got by for my 30 minutes on a treadmill. The bathroom/locker room was dirty, no hand towels...

So in a pinch if you need to get a workout in I would recommend it. When I come back I will use it again, but if I was a paying member I...
