Gold's Gym

📍 5758 Hopkins Rd, North Chesterfield, Virginia, 23234

The dry sauna at this Gold's Gym location has been a significant point of concern for members, with reports indicating it has been broken and non-operational for over three months. When it was functional, members noted issues with cleanliness, including the presence of ants and drain flies within the sauna and adjacent shower areas. The sauna door was also described as having smears and grime. Beyond the sauna, the locker room and shower facilities face considerable maintenance challenges. Gym members report that the locker rooms are often grimy, with dirty floors, grimy locker interiors, and product smears on counters. The showers have dirty walls, showerheads with immense buildup, and shower curtains in terrible condition that do not provide proper coverage. Sanitary boxes are sometimes overflowing and bathroom stalls have been broken. This gym in Meadowbrook Plaza offers extensive weight lifting and cardio equipment, with a turf area and a variety of bars and weights. Group exercise programs include Zumba, BodyPump, and Spinning. The facility is open 24/7 and provides amenities such as tanning and a kids club. However, members frequently cite poor upkeep, including long-term broken equipment, a complete lack of parking lot line markings leading to chaotic parking, and difficulties with membership cancellation where only a manager can process it. The atmosphere is supported by a community of friendly and supportive early-morning members, but staff engagement is mixed, with some front desk staff noted for being on their phones and not greeting guests. Equipment and weights are often not re-racked by patrons, requiring members to search for matching dumbbells during their workouts.
