Gold's Gym San Antonio The Quarry — Local services in San Antonio

One of the absolute worst Gold's Gyms in SA, and they have some tough competition.

There is not enough squat racks, plate machines and preset weight machines, free weight benches, you name it, theres not enough. It has a terrible layout. The cardio machines often don't work if you can find an open one to try.

Worst times to go is ALL DAY. The people that frequent this location have gotten substantially worse and more shady. Lots of men that are absolutely disgusting from their uncontrolled sweat to their absolute horrible stench of unwashed clothes and equipment. Tons of broken lockers that don't have the mechanism to slide your lock through. caught someone in the act of trying to bolt cut my lock on my locker about a week ago. front desk seemed unconcerned.

The mens sauna is often broken by people who pour water on it.

The showers have mold above the tiles and the warm to hot water is hit and miss.

I've gone to old gyms before with old machines and bare bones stuff and still would not have as terrible experience as at this GOLDs. This is clearly a neglected location.

I used to come here everyday about 2 years ago and switched gyms but now have a multigym pass. in that time frame this location has gone into the dumps.

Only thing i cant review is the classes.

They should take the Golds Xfit out and use it as more...

I had an awesome experience here! Visiting from The Netherlands, needed a place to continue my half marathon training. Called to ask for a week membership, was called back at the time stated. When I came in with my mom, Ana Zigler Gen mgr greeted us and gave us a tour of the facilities explaining how the machines I wanted to use worked. She was so enthusiastic and helpful!! Even my mom is now talking about taking classes here, Ana's enthusiasm was infectious. Thank you Gold's Gym for providing a place for me to continue my goals even on vacation. Will be back next time!

Edit Feb 2023- and now I was in San Antonio to take care of my mom for a month. Needed somewhere to continue my Marathon Training. Both Treadmill and free weights. Signing in for a month membership was a bit concerning... I was afraid that I would get stuck with extra costs, that the monthly membership will not end after one month. We shall see. The person signing me in did not seem experienced and was just giving me a story she was told to tell. Next day got a totally different story and was able to cancel my membership immediately, which will hopefully be in effect now, averting additional costs. It's all automated now, no cash on site which is safer. But the gym was Good 'ole Gold's, a comfortable place to...

I won’t normally waste my time reviewing a Golds Gym. These operations are peopled with some of the “least engaged” minds I ever encountered, so over the years accept they’re a cheap place to catch a swim and get a shower, not a county club. Today was a low point, even for Golds. Some how I lost my running jersey, name emblazoned on the front, at the Quarry Golds, San Antonio. My wife and I always shower here after an organized run we lead each week, then we head to church.

This evening, at home near Sea World (17 miles from the Quarry Golds) I discovered the loss. I called them and asked if it had been turned in. Without a moment thought (thought not a job requirement for Golds) the dull sounding felllow said “no.” Since I know Golds and have dealt with them for years, I immediately drove the 17 miles anyway. I saw my red, white, and blue jersey behind the cash register, walked about looking for the fool who denied seeing it, gave up and fetched it myself. I then went upstairs and found the feckless employee whom I queried. He said “yeah, I know you called me, but someone must have put it there while you drove over.”

I am now taking the time, a wasted effort I’m sure, to post my experience. These guys are...
