Best Gyms with Cardio Machines near Watsonville, California

The gym is great but information about contract is deceiving. I was told I had to pay the full remaining balance of the contract if I want to end it & I found out I could pay $100 to end it while reading the small letters of the contract. It’s sketchy because they basically kept $900+ from me instead of the $100… and now add the random maintaining fees? The gym is scamming people. They also say there’s a woman’s section only & when I complained on a creepy man going in there I was told they couldn’t deny him services?

Disclaimer: I travel for a living and I use Golds Gym all over so I know the protocol for when coming from out of town and Before even entering I was treated quite rudely. As a golds member I’m usually greeted with a hello and or good (morning/afternoon/evening.) Not a deep aggressive or rated attitude saying to me, “your from Texas.” Not a hello or good morning like he gave others who came in before or after me. I am not deaf I can hear very well. He unfortunately did not have a name tag on just a black team member shirt so no real way to identify but give a description so if Golds wants to actually get this resolved they can reach out directly to me and we can work this out. I clearly parked in the first handicap spot which allows the desk person know I’m disabled since my plates have a wheelchair on them. Then immediate stated it’s private and demanded my id still not a hello or good morning. I definitely understand coming from a different state there is a process with Golds again been to plenty of other Golds not in Texas, it’s all about the treatment. Then asking me my name and having made a copy of my id and tag without even letting me know he was gonna do it just demanding I give him things. Then he went as far as questioning my name and what I want to be called. No conversation as to what he is doing or why. In fact it made me feel very unwelcomed that I’m unwanted in this Golds Gym. I come to workout just like everyone else not to be treated rudely at 4:00 am pst. It’s sad that someone gets the most unwelcoming welcome at 4 AM. The equipment looks practically brand new, and has minimal wear and tear. The restrooms are hidden and can be hard to find if your not given a tour or at least explained where things are. Heads up bathrooms are to the right of the front desk pass the stairs to the left. To use cardio equipment you need to go upstairs. There is an outdoor workout area as well more for cross fit training. The bathroom for it just being opened was a mess. I’m not sure if it was cleaned the night before or not but I didn’t take a shower due to the locker room situation I’ll be heading back to a Planet Fitness for that, since I know there’s is clean. When I was working out downstairs the front desk guy kept starring at me and I just felt so uncomfortable. My experience was not one I would have ever expected due to the Golds Gym standard yet to my surprise I had the complete opposite experience. This is why the two stars is based on the experience overall.

terrible establishment drive elsewhere or check out body-zone way better gym. if you sign a contract make sure you know it will be virtually impossible to cancel. if you try and cancel early they will charge you 300$ and if you wait until your contract ends they will charge you an extra month "its takes 2 weeks to cancel" manager is never available. management is trash and they shut the lights off 10-15 prior to closing at times. cleaning ladies will be inside the locker rooms while people are changing. just all around terrible gym. go to bodyzone or todal but stay far far away from this scam of a "gym"

SCAMMERS!!! Stopped going to their Watsonville branch due to their service and equipment, to found out 5 months later a collector called me saying i owed them $250 for 5 months not paying and going to their gym, i signed up for a monthly membership! No calls, no emails regarding this that they will be charging me even i don’t go to their gym anymore, a month after not going to their gym they should of call or emailed me that i need to cancel my “monthly” (not a contract) membership or else they will continually charge me and they really waited for 5 months before letting me know so they can charge $250!!! A friendly advise not to go to their gym or make sure if you sign in for a monthly membership, ready their “terms and conditions” and when you realized i was right MAKE SURE TO TALK TO THEM IN PERSON TO CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP or else you will be charge without knowing and 5 months later collectors will call you.

As a member of almost 2 years, I wish I had positive things to say about this gym. To start off, the gym’s equipment is always damaged or broken. It takes them weeks-months to replace/fix (if this even happens). The pictures I attached were taken recently during the same week. Members get charged a ridiculous $50 equipment fee per year on top of the membership price which does not makes sense since equipment is aways out of service, damaged, or not safe to use.. Where is our equipment fee going? Two machine seats were broken, there is a leak from the roof (for months), and certain machines are not safe to use. Since COVID, the gym has made changes to the gym and closed off areas so that everything is closer together vs prioritizing members safety and ensuring there is proper social distancing. I’ve had an experience where extra charges where made to my account and it was hard to get a hold of someone. When I did, it was one of the managers, they had a rude attitude and were wanting me to be okay with their mistake instead of apologizing for wasting my time. I am so thankful my contract will soon be over and can look for a different gym. I do not recommend it and will be encouraging friends and family to not sign up this.

Nice family place, good for kids and adults alike. It's nice to have a safe place where the kids can go to get exercise and be with other kids. The front desk staff is always friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that music for dance classes is waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy too loud, you can hear it out to Moss Landing!

Do not come here, they will let you sign up knowing they are over max capacity as long as you give them your money. I went there once, gym was over packed,zumba class as well, very hot in both places, no air conditioner,smelled bad,girl that does the billing part is rude seems like she hates her job. Save yourself the headache

My experience at the Y was okay and I was able to go swimming without any issues, but the sauna was very unsanitary and the shower water was boiling hot. Also, the locker room floor was very dirty (I've seen cleaner locker room floors) and its apparent that no one bothers to clean the locker rooms at least once a day. If you're not bothered by unsanitary conditions, go ahead and workout there.

I love this place. Its a great place to take my family, there is something for all of us. My kids do the group exercise class for kids and youth sports, my wife does many of the group classes, and I use the weight room. The staff is awesome and knows my whole family!

They are irresponsible. I went to sign up my son for soccer and because I did not have the exact amount of cash on me my son did not get to sign up. How can this place accept money but not have change. Then they never said nothing about a dead line. Or bothered to call me an let me know they're was one.

Powerhouse Gym is the cleanest gym that I have ever belonged, and the hospitality of the staff and friendliness of the members makes it even better. The smoothie bar and retail is great; the personal trainer is very knowledgeable and the equipment is outstanding.

First off this gym is welcoming and perfectly located. The staff members are kind and welcoming all the time. Machines are in good standings and the weights are good. Kickboxing class is amazing! Nancy kicks your butt and makes you want to come back each time, she’s fun, kind and knows her stuff. What would make the gym even better is keeping the shades half way down as i don’t like when working out ppl from outside can see you specially at night time.

this gym is very clean and well managed. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. Because of the example the staff demonstrates the members are quite good at wiping equipment after use as well as putting equipment away. I'm glad I joined this center

Hands down the cleanest, friendliest and welcoming gym I’ve been to. The staff is great, specially Nancy, the kickboxing instructor - she’s a huge reason Im committed to consistently making it into the gym. Thanks for making working out enjoyable and challenging!!!

Victor is a very great employee. Always cleaning and greeting customers. An employee who gets along with everyone and interacts with people who workout is great as well. It’s what’s brings more people to the gym feeling comfortable knowing employees treat them with respect and are able to interact with them.
