It was an overall stressful experience.
Kid's Club Employee (Former Employee), Richmond, VA – May 13, 2013
The work place was very stressful. The supervisor gossiped about all of her employees so it made it an uncomfortable situation.

This was a wonderful place to work.
Manager (Former Employee), Paducah, KY – April 14, 2013
I loved this job I only left because I had just marries and was going to have my first child. This job was full of responsibly and I learned a lot. I started in the child care and moved my way up and the owners made sure I moved up in pay along the way. It was a joy to go to work the people coming to the gym where a joy. They where there because they – more... loved what they where doing and I loved greeting them as they entered. – less

Horrible experience
Fitness Consultant (Former Employee), New Bern, NC – April 7, 2013
Pros: free gym membership & great way to network
Cons: pretty much everything else
Completely unrealistic goals and very little to no training. Pay for full time, is minimal and comissions are taxed as well. Management was extremely unprofessional and frequently had temper tantrums. Each club is independently owned, so not all will have the same experience-but if you work in Eastern North Carolina, be warned! I will not work OR workout – more... in Gold's Gym again. – less

A wonderful place to work even though it was a part time position
Customer Service/Sales (Former Employee), New Bedford, MA – April 6, 2013
Pros: free gym membership
Cons: my hours got cut to 8 hours a week
Each day was a good day, there was no bad days working for Gold's gym. The owner, manager, and co-workers were all wonderful people to work with.
The job didn't have any difficult tasks to accomplish.
The best part was getting to meet so many wonderful people.

Great place to network
General Manager (Former Employee), McLean, VA – April 4, 2013
Pros: awesome members
Cons: long hours, no personal life
Upper management has no idea what they are doing, may CEO's came and went along with DVP's, AM's, etc. Overall it was fun but Gold's Gym DOES NOT care about their employees. It would not matter what you did for them before, only what you can do for them now.

good place to start for new trainers.
Personal Trainer/Fitness Instructor (Current Employee), Lawrenceville, GA – April 1, 2013
Pros: set own schedule
Cons: if you have 2-3 cancellations in a day, it can wreck your finances.
you set your own schedule with your clients. It's important to stay up to date on training. I love working with my co workers. I never view them as competition, we all bring something to the table. You will not make the kind of money here that you will working for yourself. The hardest part of the job for me is when clients will not get the eating right. – more... The best part of my job is when clients hit their goals, come off of medication, etc, those are all good days for me. – less

unprofessional
Shake Bar Associate and Tanning Associate (Former Employee), Newburgh, NY – March 31, 2013
Pros: members at gym were very nice.
Cons: managment
I was hired for one task, and a year later was told I had to run two parts of the gym at the same time. They never increased my pay even when i was working more and had more tasks to do. Managment was horrible. The only good thing about this job were the memebers.

First summer job
Front Desk Associate (Former Employee), Fredericksburg, Va – March 30, 2013
This was my first summer job after going off to college. My main job was to assist members when they came to check in at the gym. I would also make smoothies for members after workouts. I also restocked inventory, which required me to do heavy lifting. Felt like I was getting my working while on the job.

nice equipment but bad boss
Janitor (Former Employee), West Des Moines, IA – March 28, 2013
Pros: free membership
Cons: no breaks, no advancement
working at gold's gym was fun but there is no advancement no matter how good you do your job. the pay was the base minimum and management was horrible when it came to fairness.the only redeeming thing out of there was you got a free membership while working there.

Fast paced busy work
Receptionist (Current Employee), Magnolia, TX – March 28, 2013
Pros: free smoothies/protein shakes.
Cons: no breaks, no benefits, lousy pay, management has no clue what it's doing
It's a source of income. No benefits, minimum wage, wacky hours. Members come in upset about their account, manager will not come out, has us tell them she is not there or in a meeting. It's a lot of work for minimum wage. Inventory, sales, making smoothies, handling cancellations, 6 phone lines (which is irritating because we have strict scripts to – more... follow and they are recorded--you will be reprimanded for not following script, even if following it makes you sound like an idiot.) Announcements, stocking, and check ins, paperwork, mandatory gym cleanings after hours, and mandatory weekly meetings. When two people are at the front, it's not so bad, but it's bad when you are by yourself on a Saturday morning, or between help for 2 hours. You need to have 3 heads and 6 arms for this job. – less

Good place for college students
Front Desk Receptionist (Former Employee), St. George – March 27, 2013
Pros: amazing people to work with.
Cons: hard to get a raise
I love working at gold's, it is a fun environment and awesome place to be. I enjoy going to work everyday, and the pay is better than minimum wage. Things at work can get very hectic and busy, but it is so muchfun to interact with different members and see them set and achieve their goals. The people I work with are amazing, no staff is better than – more... the gold's gym staff. We are all very close and get along well. – less

Fun atmosphere in childcare center
Child Care Assistant (Former Employee), Saint Cloud, FL – March 26, 2013
Pros: working with children 3 months to 12 years old, entertaining kids, and broken up hours
Cons: little pay for what i did, no specific "sick days"
Very fun and upbeat for children. Parents felt safe leaving children in the care of childcare assistants. Kept children active with games and activities such as basketball. Learned how to handle high stress situations. Co-workers got along like family. Honestly wasnt a hard part to this job. The most enjoyable aspect of this job was sending children – more... and parents home happy. – less

fun workplace
Front Desk Associate (Former Employee), Alexandria, VA – March 21, 2013
Sometimes it was busy, other times it wasn't that busy. I learned how to take payments from members. Management was on top of everything, friendly, and helpful when I had questions. Co-workers were nice. Hardest part of the job is standing for over 5 hours.
