Gold’s Gym University Market Place

Expérience négative: Poopy ass small gym with mediocre equipments for the price that they charge. Would say other locations are way better than this one. Very difficult to pause or cancel membership. Go here only if u got no car or too much money to waste. If you are a student, ubc gym are practically free and a much better choice The one extra star is because the staff are nice. But the company and this specific location is a ripoff

Expérience positive: Small, old equipment, very limited sanitizing (such as wipes). For a fraction of the price, fitness world on 4th has way better equipment.

Expérience fantastique: Great community, especially for UBC students. It's great how they always have something going on in the club, especially The Body Energy free testers.

Expérience fantastique: Attentive and friendly team. Excellent variety of equipment and it is clean and in good condition. Everything you'd expect from a Gold's.

Expérience positive: Staff are awesome but the maintenance could be better. Locker rooms are also too small.

Expérience négative: I applied for suspension at March 12th due to the vaccination. The membership should be suspended at April 12th. But right now the membership is still active and charged for a fee.

Expérience fantastique: Avery lessard is the goat best person ever….I speak on behalf of the entire gold gym community - we love Avery lessard….we Stan an independent girly ❤️ it’s giving girl queen

Expérience fantastique: Great gym! Well managed and Juan is an exceptional trainer!

Expérience négative: The gym staff and equipment are good to great, however I've been a member since Jan 8th and have gone 3 times a week since then and the washrooms, sinks and showers have been out of order the entire time with no timeline of getting them fixed. The locker rooms are barely adequate. In one section of the men's change room people in the free weight section can see clear into the lockers/ changing area. I've asked about the showers 3 or 4 times and nobody ever can give a clear answer.

Expérience positive: Id like to write this review specifically for Mish, one of the staff I have had the pleasure of knowing for about a year since I started working out at Golds. Mish is not just the friendliest, but also the most attentive. I spoke to him on several occasions about issues I find with the gym and he not only listened to me with proper attention but he also guided me on ways on how can make my concerns heard. He also gave me some awesome workout tips that have helped me on my journey of self improvement! Overall, although Golds is rather subpar gym with dated, old and broken equipment, it is run by individuals the like of Mish who are friendly, sociable and great at their jobs.

Expérience négative: A pretty awful gym with the worst staff - e.g., nagging you every time you workout to increase your pass duration or "upgrade" to a more expensive plan. Absolute scam when trying to cancel as well. Do not sign a contract with this gym, they make it impossible to cancel.

Expérience positive: Decent gym however the showers need way more attention. Floor is often slimy feeling and sometimes smell like pee

Expérience négative: Outdated equipment, horrible staff except for a few, no maintenance work, too busy with too many dumb annoying students wanting attention on social media for their lackluster workouts & the guys are insufferable simps that need to talk to & bother everyone for self benefit with no self awareness & a ton of half naked women giving each workout 25 percent at best & 100 percent “look at me but don’t approach me vibes.” Place is a Effing joke. Do not expect to meet good people. Nice people have agendas too & they will talk to you & suck the soul out of every workout you try to do.

Expérience positive: I have been working out for almost 9 months with the Gold’s Gym University Market Place and It has satisfied my expectations so far. There are drawbacks that if it could be addressed, I'd be happier. 1- for a reason they removed the paper towels from the men's locker room and the hand dryer is the noisiest dryer that I have ever seen. 2- More bench presses are needed. I always need to wait a long time to do a bench press.

Expérience négative: Honestly this place doesn't even deserve one star. Here is the thing. I've heard golds gym ages ago also had an amazing tour in LA's where the staffs are also super friendly.Since i have membership with good life i didn't know the golds gym is also running business in Canada. So recently I've booked a free one day pass and really looking forward.After 1hr drive from where i live to UBC golds gym( they have four locations, UBC,west broadway. Langley and another i couldn't remember). I planned to go for a run after work out so i chose ubc one. Ok direct to the point now. I was told unfortunately I'm not allowed to work out here cuz i don't live near by within 10km or you can become the membership with us then i asked them to prove that regulation cuz i wouldn't even come if i saw this information. Then they showed me a sentence on the website says must be local resident. Please tell me how to define LOCAL. No matter which location i chose will be out of 10km. At the end i was told either pay 15 bucks or leave. Really don't wanna ruined my day so i paid. Booked a one day free pass turns out been charged. Hilarious. Besides that. All the equipments are super old. Oldies but not goodies.

Expérience négative: The parking lot in the basement, especially this spot has no “do not back in” sign although the spot next to it has it. Don’t back in on that spot. The yellow frame is not visible on the rear mirror nor the camera when you back up. That’s the bad part about this gym. Gym itself is good though. But there goes my 800 dollars.

Expérience fantastique: A great gym with good equipment and friendly staff. The main reason for the review is to flag how helpful Yash Modi was for myself and my partner. As a member of the gym's staff, he was incredibly friendly, informative and provided great advice around membership. Would recommend asking for him if you're looking for membership information.

Expérience fantastique: Excellent customer service by Shaiyan!! He was extremely patient and understanding, and did his best to provide a personalized membership option best-suited for my needs. Much appreciated!

Expérience fantastique: the customer service here was amazing: front desk was super receptive even though I was new to this gym! Will definitely be considering joining :)

Expérience fantastique: Golds gym has an amazing environment for people anywhere along their gym journey. The staff are really friendly. The fitness consultant shaiyan has a lot of knowledge and gives great tips to plan my workout.

Expérience positive: I like it here mainly for the opening hours, it is clean and good space. but there are some things that need improvement, especially for women training: there is no seated leg curl machine in the gym (basic equipment) and the seated leg flexion is very uncomfortable.

Expérience positive: The staff are really nice and pleasant. There is a good variety of free weights and machines. The negative is waiting for weeks for a machine to get repaired. For a name like Golds, customers shouldn't have to wait weeks for repairs. Currently, the leg press, biceps curls, and bench are all down. Otherwise, its a solid gym.

Expérience négative: What an experience. After years of bejng a Fitness World member, wanted to give this Gold Gym another try after I heard about the remodelling. Signed up for free pass and booked an appointment for a tour according to policy. Went to the gym to use my free pass next morning, but was offered to use the drop-in for 16.75 instead because nobody was there to do the tour. Nowhere does it say on the signup process that I can only use the free pass on the day of the tour, it only asks to book a time. That’s one way to lose a member

Expérience positive: I've been coming to this gym on and off for over a decade and although not anything amazing, the gym has improved over the years. Some trainers (like Juan) know what they're doing, others appear to be clueless. Powerlifting and Olympic lifting equipment has been added recently and is appreciated, however there is a distinct lack of cable stations. Upkeep on equipment is haphazard. Currently the leg extension machine is nearly inoperable with adjustment mechanisms needing extreme force, and padding extremely minimal by the shins. Gym has reduced hours on weekends, closing at 8pm on Saturdays and I believe 7pm on Sundays. Extremely frustrating for users. This gym is superior to others nearby like the Coop or ARC, however would not recommend it for those living nearby other locations or other gyms.

Expérience fantastique: Very good experience overall! Ariana is an absolutely amazing trainer. She is so sweet, understanding and helpful.

Expérience fantastique: I strongly recommend this place! The gym could be busy sometimes, but the people there are super nice. Ariana is an amazing personal trainer, I would give her 10 out of 5 if I could!!

Expérience fantastique: The atmosphere of the gym is so good . But more importantly is the trainers . I have been trained with Ariana for more than 30 sessions . She is so professional , patient and friendly, just made each session so much fun ! Really enjoy my personal traning here with her !

Expérience négative: sam seemed very abrasive just because I expressed reluctance to give up all my personal info just for a 90 second tour of the gym. I *very* politely apologized for my hesitation in giving away my info but was still met with passive aggressive hostility. Josh was cool though. sam appeared to make a comment about me as I walked away.

Expérience négative: I rarely leave bad reviews and feel like a Karen doing this but I hope this will help further customers: It doesn't say anywhere on their website that your have to give a cancellation notice of 30 days before actually being able to cancel. Therefor I'm going to charged 21$ bi weekly until it gets cancelled.Waste of money..You receive an email to later contact the cancellation department yourself. Unapologetic tone from staff named Dylan. Even if it's not his fault and he does not decide this method of cancellation.Perhaps putting that info on the membership experience page would make sense.

Expérience fantastique: Solid environment and culture here, went in for a trial session yesterday and I can’t remember his name, but the manager I dealt with was very chill, hospitable and respectful all around. The utility here did not meet my needs unfortunately with my training focused more on bodybuilding, I feel that these gyms could use some more functional equipment (cable crossovers predominantly) but I would definitely recommend this gym to any powerlifters or beginners 100%.

Expérience fantastique: I have been training with Bryan Wong for about 4 months and the experience has been amazing! Bryan has great communication skills and truly cares for his clients. He has a keen eye for assessing his clients' fitness and effectively communicates long-term and short-term goals for his clients with realistic strategies to achieve them. He makes it easy to understand the reasons for each exercise and the metrics for keeping track of progress. He also has very clear explanations for correcting postures and avoiding injuries which are especially important for weight training. I am very happy with the quality of PT provided by Bryan and Gold's Gym. As for the gym, it is very clean and offers a wide variety of equipment. The staff are very friendly and members are conscientious. I would highly recommend Gold's Gym UMP for people interested in fitness and are either studying at UBC or living on campus.

Expérience négative: I don't understand why the music in this gym is CRANKED every-time I'm working out. I've been coming for months and out of all the people in this gym 99.9% of people have headphones in and listen to their OWN music. I've on a few occasions asked staff to turn down the music but they have never acted. On a scale out of 10, the music at this gym should be between 2-3 MAX. I come to the gym to get in my zone and listen to my OWN music, not what some employee wants to listen too. I understand that they get bored but c'mon, I'm having to blare the music in my headphones and still can't hear it fully. Not only is that bad for my hearing, but it can damage my body long-term. Management needs to implement a new rule about the music levels at this gym. I've even spoken with other members and they feel the same way.

Expérience fantastique: I love this gym. The staff is so welcoming and the facility has great equipment! A great place if you are looking for Olympic weightlifting platforms!

Expérience fantastique: Pretty tight during peak hours but other than that great gym. Gareth was very helpful with picking a membership plan.

Expérience négative: This place is so small and busy. If there was another gym in the area, I would go there. I prefer to drive to the other golds on Broadway as their size is more than double UMP, the equipment is much newer and it doesn't seem to be as busy. This location also has no amenities and no women's only section.

Expérience fantastique: Wish there was an option to give 6 stars. Throughout COVID, this place was such a big help in maintaining my health. Thank you guy ms for such a wonderful service.

Expérience fantastique: My experience at Gold’s Gym at ubc has been nothing but amazing! Working with personal trainer Ariana has been the best decision I’ve made. Ariana is extremely knowledgeable in terms of not only training but also nutrition, and she really tailors your sessions according to your fitness goals. One hour flies by when you’re training with her because she’s super personable but also so efficient with the time! I’ve already learned so much from the four sessions we’ve had so far and I’ve never felt so motivated to become healthier and stronger. I would highly recommend Gold’s gym, especially personal training with Ariana!

Expérience fantastique: This is a very warm and welcoming gym. Most of the clients are university students or people living in the neighborhood. Both the staffs and clients are so friendly, making the entire environment comfortable. Talking about PT, I have been trained under Ariana’s instructions for the past two months, and I absolutely love how professional and inspiring she is! I wasn’t new to gym and I was trained under two different PTs before. Comparing my past and recent experiences, I think Ariana is the type of PT that truly spends time planning out systematic schedules to fulfill clients’ needs rather than throwing random stuffs from days to days. Since day 1 of the training, she has already awaken my muscles and strength for compound exercises which were scheduled weeks later. She is able to provide easy-to-follow instructions and detail suggestions for further improvement. She definitely pushes me to challenge myself more. I couldn’t be able to imagine how much I have accomplished within such a short period of time. I used to go to gym just for the sake of “health” and I struggled mentally every single time. However, I really enjoyed my times working out in the gym this two months, and even looking forwards to attending specific “interesting” sessions haha. Overall, if you are looking for a PT who is both professional and fun to talk with, I would highly recommend Ariana to you!

Expérience fantastique: Went to this location as I was in the area and was amazed with the atmosphere I walked into. Being new to the gym I needed some assistance with a few things and a PT named Ariana was above and beyond with helping me with the whereabouts in the gym and even gave me some tips to boost my workout. She was amazing and was impressed that she was willing to help on her own time to ensure I had the best experience.

Expérience fantastique: Golds gym university market place is a wonderful gym with an amazing gym environment plus great staff! Ariana has been nothing but amazing throughout my fitness journey and without her I don’t think I would be where I am at today! Her support and knowledge has helped me tremendously. The tips I have learned from Ariana has made a huge difference in my training and I can definitely see a big growth in my progress! if you plan on joining this gym and are looking for a personal trainer I would 100% recommend Ariana! :)

Expérience fantastique: I love training at Gold's University Market Place! The facilities are always clean and the staff here are always welcoming. Training with Ariana as my PT has played a pivotal role in achieving my own personal fitness goals. Ariana tailors my program to my needs and is constantly challenging me, training with her has certainly developed my confidence in working out at the gym. Ariana is awesome, highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: I have been training with Ariana for almost a month now. She has been very receptive to my concerns with an underlying health issue that poses a challenge to my weight management queries. She is a very dedicated personal trainer who puts immense thought into her workouts and has always been willing to give me advice. I have also seen positive results over time and I owe it to her for that. I appreciate Ariana as a personal coach and friend, as well as her consistent guidance and motivation. If you’d like some help and motivation along your own fitness journey, I’d definitely recommend Ariana!

Expérience fantastique: Golds is my favourite gym, especially their personal trainers … Ariana is the best personal trainer I have ever had, honestly! She is so professional, skilled, friendly, and never made me feel silly for being weak or new. Because of her, my confidence is boosted, I look and feel so much healthier, and I enjoy gymming.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve never felt so welcomed and comfortable at a gym before! Everyone there is so kind. I have to give a special shout-out to someone who has been exceptionally welcoming. Ariana is one of the personal trainers there and she has helped me tremendously with my fitness journey. She is very knowledgeable and easy to connect with. Highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to get into working out for the first time!

Expérience fantastique: My experience here was super good and the atmosphere at the gym was fantastic. Ariana a PT there is great and I had such an amazing experience with her.

Expérience fantastique: I know Gold’s Gym always provides quality machines for a great workout but the one thing that definitely stands out is their customer service. I believe her name is Cassandra but she’s always such a pleasure to deal with. I really hope they continue to hire quality people like her. It makes a difference !

Expérience fantastique: Started coming here since the start of 2021 and have been pretty satisfied with what the gym has to offer in terms of the equipment. Recently started working with my personal trainer Bryan Wong who has been greatly helping me out a lot in terms of how to structure my workouts, pace them and with proper technique. And with a solid resume to back it up. Kind of wish I started doing PT when I was a lot younger now.

Expérience fantastique: Probably one of the best gyms I’ve been to in Vancouver, and I’ve tried many (Steve Nash, Club 16, community centres, etc.). The gym is well-maintained as the washrooms and machines are always clean. I also feel safe working out at Golds UBC because the max capacity is 30 people, and the machines are spread out enough for me to have my own space. Additionally, the staff is very welcoming and approachable, unlike other gyms. I highly recommend this gym !

Expérience fantastique: Management is friendly, this gym is clean and has all the equipment I need. Sometimes it can get busy which makes it more difficult to benefit from all the equipment but during quieter times it's a great gym to visit. The parking can also get quite busy. Overall, I would highly recommend this gym for its comfortable environment, good location and free wifi.

Expérience fantastique: Love this gym, got all the equipment you could ever need. Staff members like Emmanuel make Gold's UMP an extremely safe and fun place to workout during Covid-19. Super supportive and also made the sign up process quick and easy. Happy to be back

Expérience fantastique: I have been going to this gym for almost a year now and the staff are not only professional, kind and knowledgeable but never fail to greet me in an upbeat and positive way. The environment at the gym itself is always clean and sanitized properly by staff (which is extremely important right now during the pandemic). This is a great gym! Special shoutout to Sam and the rest of the front desk team who make going to Gold's UBC a great experience.

Expérience fantastique: All of the staff and especially the managers Sam and Kyle are super great and ive had nothing but amazing service! seeing them every workout is the highlight of my day!! Ariana Zandi is one of the best trainers out there and I really enjoyed training with her! She really connects with her clients, pays attention to your strengths and challenges you. Love her will definitely train with her again :)

Expérience fantastique: Went to this gym throughout my time at UBC and still going to this day. This gym has everything you need: free weights area, guided machines, cardio stations and a studio. The staff is always welcoming and friendly, the PTs are knowledgeable and Kyle the manager is always making sure the operation is running smoothly. They have also doubled down on cleaning and sanitization amid COVID and the additional precautions they have taken to prevent the spread of the virus definitely make me feel safe working out there. Best gym in the area by far!

Expérience fantastique: ✨ Must try personal training with Sasha Duncan ✨ Sasha helped me to quickly tone up, learn to deadlift properly and feel confident enough to lift free weights alone. Without her help, I’d probably be hiding in the corner doing leg lifts or something. Honestly, the pandemic has really bummed me out, but training with Sasha instantly became a high point in my week. If you want a talented personal trainer that is fun enough to laugh at your jokes (but also won’t let you talk your way out of your workout), I can’t recommend Sasha enough.

Expérience fantastique: Golds ump is a great and welcoming place to workout and their personal trainer Ariana has helped me so much with my fitness journey. She listened to what my fitness goals were and together we crafted a workout plan that was realistic and really well thought out.

Expérience fantastique: Ariana has made my first personal training experience absolutely incredible. She helped to identify numerous muscle imbalances and both supported, and pushed me in the gym. Her training program allowed me to improve my form, and gain strength and confidence. Ariana is an incredible addition to the gold’s team and I am so grateful to have had knowledge and expertise to support my fitness journey.

Expérience fantastique: Ariana Zandi is one of the most dedicated and exceptional PT’s I’ve come across. Her expertise has helped me perfect my form, challenge myself, and become more confident in the gym. She has made my Gold’s gym experience the best it can be. If you’re looking for a fun and knowledgeable PT, Ariana is your girl!!

Expérience fantastique: Best gym I have ever been to. Just got my membership a month ago, along with the most amazing personal trainer. I have never felt so at home at a gym before. With the help of Ariana’s knowledge and welcoming attitude, it did not take me long to feel fully immersed in the golds community. Just over two weeks into my training with Ariana I was already seeing major improvement in my strength and overall fitness. If you want to really push your fitness to the next level I recommend you see Ariana at golds!

Expérience fantastique: Been going to this gym for years and it’s worth your money! Covid safe and friendly staff. Wide variety of equipment and also has an Olympic Platform with kilogram plates for Olympic weightlifters. Although there are 35 people limit for each session, people usually cancel last minute so I haven't been stressing out about booking an appointment with them! Awesome gym :)

Expérience fantastique: Nice gym with a large range of equipments. I train with Matthew H (PT) and have had very good experience with him. Super accommodating and professional. I like that he keeps track of my progress through Google Drive so I can have access anytime. He’s also very responsive about any fitness question I have outside of our training sessions. The gym also adheres to strict COVID guidelines per the provincial instruction, which I appreciate very much.

Expérience fantastique: What has definitely impacted my experience at Golds is having Ariana there as a personal trainer. She is the one person who pushes me to my greatest ability when I think that I'm not strong enough, she pushes me and motivates me. Ariana is undoubtedly one of the greatest assets to Golds and I genuinely would not be so determined on improving myself if it wasn't for her! Best PT!!

Expérience fantastique: This Golds Gym location is a little smaller than other locations, catering to students and locals in the UBC area. UPDATED** Current letting 40 members in the gym at a time and no more booking system. Tap in with your fob and workout when you want! Live tracker is available on the website for each location. YOU CAN STAY up to 1 hours and 45 min during non peak times, 1 hours and 15 min during peak times. UMP's peak times run Monday-Thursday 12-730 pm and Friday Saturday after 12 until about 7. Sundays are mostly dead. Front desk staff track your workout time when you check in and will give you a heads up if they have a line waiting and you need to exit... You can always tap out, jump back in line and workout again tho. Cleaning is on point, compared to other facilities the team uses a cleaning log to ensure every 15 MINUTES different areas of the gym are sanitized. It's still mandatory to wear your mask inside, so come prepped with an active wear mask rather than a heavy cotton one. (you can buy viral off Golds Gym branded masks at the front desk) They also now sell a variety of Golds Gear, visit the website for more info and pics :)

Expérience fantastique: Starting a fitness journey can seem like a difficult task, but personal trainer Sasha Duncan has always shown it to be simple and fun! Her workouts are made specifically to target areas you need to improve and are truly effective. I’ve seen huge imrpovements in my overall mobility, strength and confidence at the gym! She listens very well and is able to adapt any workout instantly to best suit her clients. Amazing experience!

Expérience fantastique: I worked with a personal trainer here, Bryan for a few weeks. I felt that the gym offered a good selection of equipment, plenty of space, and seems to have many kind people working there. I'd definitely recommend the personal training sessions if you can afford to try them out, they help alot with learning technique for preventing injuries & do a great job of showing you new ways to train.

Expérience fantastique: Legitimately one of the best gym environments I’ve been in, here’s why: The front desk staff are extremely courteous and chirpy so they never fail to put you in a good mood before you step in the gym. The trainers are VERY knowledgeable and are happy to offer advice to anyone who is interested , just ask ! The management team is also proactive in making sure the members’ needs are being met and take member feedback very seriously. Overall, a great environment with awesome people who GENUINELY care about you. I’d recommend anyone reading to check it out when they can!

Expérience fantastique: Sasha Duncan is an amazing personal trainer; hands down one of the best I've worked with and I've worked with many coaches and trainers over the years. She thoughtfully tailors my workouts to my abilities and goals, continually pushes me, and easily switches gears on the fly if need be. She shares her fitness knowledge in ways that are easily understood and put into action, and her enthusiasm for weight training is contagious. I definitely look forward to our training sessions, especially during these difficult pandemic times.

Expérience fantastique: I moved to Vancouver while the Covid-19 lockdown was ongoing from Ontario. I wanted to get back to the gym ASAP. Gold's BC offered me a good deal in May for multi-access across all Gold's Gyms in BC, which would activate once the gyms were allowed to reopen. I first used the West Broadway facility before the UBC location reopened. The UBC location is great. It has everything I need. The staff are friendly. Not hard to register a spot (right now you need to make a reservation to workout), since the location isn't crowded. I think the company is doing pretty good considering the circumstances.

Expérience fantastique: Ariana is hands down the most supportive and dedicated personal trainer I’ve ever met. She’s supported me through my fitness journey from the very beginning and continues to push me and believe in me. Without her, I wouldn’t have the confidence nor the motivation I have now in the gym. Training at Gold’s would not be part of my daily routine if it wasn’t for Ariana. If you ever need a PT, Ariana’s your girl.

Expérience fantastique: Positive: Quality I have really enjoyed my time so far at this gym! They have a decent selection of equipment and machines and the staff are very friendly and helpful! Also, the facility is kept very clean and sanitized, which is extra important now with all of the COVID-19 guidelines in place.

Expérience fantastique: I switched to gold’s in January because I was tired of poor service from the other nearby gyms and I could not be happier! The staff is very friendly, professional, and helpful. Finding spots is easy and sanitisation levels are top notch. 10/10 would recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Absolutely love it here !! I actually wake up looking forward to the gym . I haven't been to a gym in 5 years so was a bit nervous starting up but all the staff are so nice and professional. Sam is amazing and made me feel really comfortable! Today I got a free personal training hour with Sasha, which was really helpful. Definitely recommend this gym

Expérience fantastique: I joined the gym while i was working in the area last summer. great equipment and everything was really well maintained. What really put it over the top for me though was the fact that their trainer Kyle took the time to answer any questions I had before signing up, and even checked in with me regularly afterwards to make sure i dint have any issues with anything. Great guy and great service 10/10

Expérience fantastique: Such a good gym, the staff and trainers are all so friendly and are willing to help when you need it. The equipment is always super sanitized and they have great protocols in place to make sure that people are being safe and sanitary because of COVID-19. There is a wide array of equipment and many squat racks for people to use which is nice since not many gyms have this luxury. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone!

Expérience fantastique: I recently joined this gym! I have worked out at many gyms but I really felt at home when I started working out here! The staff is so friendly and they have all the equipment you need to get a great workout in. Perfect open spaces and their covid policies are superb. Thank you Golds Gym! Super good value!

Expérience fantastique: Positive: Professionalism , Quality I absolutely love this gym and the staff. Being my first time ever at the gym, these guys made me feel welcome and supported. My trainer Sasha is just exceptional and I am very grateful for her! The gym is also clean and spacious. I 10/10 recommend this gym!

Expérience fantastique: Gold's gym has definitely been a positive turning point in my fitness journey. I started training with personal trainer Sasha Duncan at the beginning of the year, and I can honestly say that I continue to use her advice and teaching in every workout since. Sasha is very dedicated to her work as a trainer and her ability to effectively share her knowledge with beginners like me is extremely valuable! I was able to learn the foundational steps needed to achieve my fitness goals, and saw my form improve greatly. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and supportive trainer, I would definitely recommend Sasha Duncan!

Expérience fantastique: Gold's Gym UMP is awesome! The staff are super friendly and they always make you feel welcome. They have all the equipment you need and have COVID precautions in place to make sure you feel safe when working out. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone!

Expérience fantastique: Great gym! Offers wide range of machines and weights and has proper covid sanitation protocols in place. Staff are all really friendly and time slots are easy to book, would definitely recommend coming here!

Expérience fantastique: I've been working with PT Sasha for a week now and have already seen a huge improvement in my strength and confidence in going to the gym. She modifies exercises if needed but also pushes you to work hard. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a trainer!

Expérience fantastique: This is seriously the best gym ever!!! The staff here are extremely accommodating and friendly. Not only do they all welcome you when you arrive, but by name! The facility is always very clean and all of the machines are new and work very well. I love my membership here!

Expérience fantastique: Going to the gym has always been important to me, but with COVID I was quite sceptical as to which gyms would be taking protocols seriously and effectively allowing people to workout while following the guidelines. The management and staff are incredibly welcoming, and they are following protocols very tightly, and have been able to create a safe environment for people to workout during this pandemic. I recommend Gold's gym to all of my friends and family, and many have signed up and love going. I 100% recommend anyone looking for a gym to give Gold's Gym a try!!

Expérience négative: Overall the gym isn’t bad but every time i go in I have to ask for the music to be turned down and the change is minimal. I try not to complain but every time it gets louder and disrupts my workout and when I complain I get advised to wear my own headphones and that everyone wears their headphones. Then who is the music for?

Expérience fantastique: After working out on my own for over 35 years, I started training with Bryan Wong 4 months ago and am now stronger than I have ever been. I have achieved things I was no longer sure were possible at my age. Highly recommended.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing gym and great staff. Kyle gave me a nice tour of the gym and was able to get me a sweet deal. One of the trainers, Emmanuel, is warm and approachable and answered all of my questions.

Expérience fantastique: The place is clean and well maintained. The staff is very friendly. Also, it was a wonderful experience working out with PT Nathan Godden. He was very knowledgeable and patient. I feel stronger and more enthusiastic to work out.

Expérience fantastique: Been loyal with Golds UBC for over 2 years and as a former co worker, Im happy with the service and customer interaction ive been getting from Emmanuel. He seems very charismatic and patient. Love the energy he brings to Golds!

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been going to this gym for years and more recently, signed up for personal training under Nathan Godden. With his help, I’ve been able to overcome a plateau in my fitness journey and improve my overall performance. I could not have asked for a better trainer.

Expérience fantastique: When it comes to personal training, you go in with the objective of improving your physical health. At least that was my plan, but in training with Nathan Godden it’s been so much more. Not only does he cater a program specifically for your needs (a heavy emphasis on mobility in my case for working on set) but he’s always available for clear communication whenever I have questions. He’s helped in my progress through all facets of health and is a true professional I would never hesitate to recommend others go see.

Expérience fantastique: Gold's gym has definitely been a positive turning point in my fitness journey. I started training with personal trainer Sasha Duncan at the beginning of the year, and I can honestly say that I continue to use her advice and teaching in every workout since. Sasha is very dedicated to her work as a trainer and her ability to effectively share her knowledge with beginners like me is extremely valuable! I was able to learn the foundational steps needed to achieve my fitness goals, and saw my form improve greatly. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and supportive trainer, I would definitely recommend Sasha Duncan!

Expérience fantastique: Great gym, wide variety of equipment is clean and works as it should, and you got amazing workers like Emmanuel making sure everyone follows covid protocols to keep us safe

Expérience fantastique: Golds Gym is such a fun place to workout!! Their personal trainer, Ariana is so fantastic!! Highly recommend :)

Expérience fantastique: This is a really nice facility and in a very good location. I love going there because not only do they have great equipment but Ariana is such a fantastic PT. Definitely check her out!!

Expérience positive: Nice gym! Has most equipment you'd ever want/need. Would love an area for medicine ball work without making an abscure amount of noise though. Pricey enough unless I'm used to Ontario prices 279.00 plus tax for 4 months seems steep but very new equipment and lots of options. Free parking with membership and haven't had issues with the limited space reserved yet. Place does get busy with students but mornings are not as bad! Great staff and atmosphere in the gym.

Expérience fantastique: Ariana has been extremely professional and kind as a PT. She works with my pace but also pushes me to excel. I would recommend her to anybody hesitating to start a routine. She keeps me on track!

Expérience fantastique: Ariana Zandi, ladies and ladies’ men, is the most lovely YET sadistic PT out there. Jokes its all for the gains. It’s only been a two week journey but she’s pushed me to challenge myself nonstop and that’s we look for amiright! So if y’all got some free $$ lying around (but in this economic climate I doubt it) you should definitely come see this girl! Even if you don’t need that second voice cheering you on you should still come here for some of that good sweat cuz the staff is super welcoming. Special shout-out to the purple-maned manager Samantha for making me feel excited on my first day!

Expérience fantastique: Sasha Dun single-handedly fixed my form in all my compound lifts! I had no clue how inefficient I was with my training until she set me straight, and now I’m excited to hit Gold’s everyday. Highly recommend getting some sessions from her!

Expérience fantastique: I've often struggled with committing to a workout space due to my complicated relationship with the concept of exercise. I related my concerns when discussing whether or not to sign up for a membership at this gym, and my fears were promptly alleviated. Cassandra calmly talked it through with me, inspired me to take the leap, and we came to a mutually beneficial conclusion. I am now quite excited to improve my fitness and improve my overall temperament towards exercise!

Expérience fantastique: Great equipment and a generally well maintained gym. The staff are helpful and friendly. A bit pricey compared to a community centre but well worth it.

Expérience fantastique: The team at the UBC location is always really friendly and professional. They also do a great job following COVID protocols and keep the space very clean.
