Gold's Gym Highland Meadows

UPDATE: The shower does not have any type of hot water. If you are looking to shower here don’t expect any hot water. This gym is really nice. I really like the aesthetic inside here. The people who help me get started. Let me know that it was a dollar to sign up that day. I forgot her name, but she was really cool. Really funny one of the girls, but I like this location cause it’s close to my house remodeled And there’s not many people at midday but just so you know I’m gonna let you know that the holiday hours are different.

Been a member for a few weeks. They are supposed to open at 5am on weekdays but I showed up this morning at 6:20am and gym was closed. No sign in the door and no answer when I called. How is this acceptable? Several other people waited outside in their cars before leaving. Also, now that I’m here leaving a review—the showers are pretty bad. Clean enough, but 50/50 chance you’ll get hot water. I’m going to have to look for another gym. Just scrolled through other reviews and looks like this isn’t the first time they’ve opened late. Response to manager: Thanks, but don’t make me part of your backup plan.

I am a Gold's Gym member in Austin, Texas and was looking for a Gold's Gym in Dallas while visiting family. The Highland Meadows location at East Northwest Parkway and Jupiter was the closest to my house, so I decided to check it out. The gym is nestled among tacquerias and tattoo parlors but has been completely redone inside. There are no TVs in this Gold's but tons of great bodybuilding equipment. I went at 10am on a Friday after New Year's Eve and it was still pretty empty so I was easily able to get a great workout. This location is definitely worth visiting if you are a Gold's member.

I had to drop my rating from 5 stars to 3, and here's why. The gym's supposed to open at 5 AM, but recently Tuesday, November 5th, I've found myself waiting nearly 2 hours for someone to let us in—definitely not the best way to start the day! I shared my concerns with the assistant manager, who was super professional, but the GM, Collin, didn't seem too thrilled when I brought it up. I mentioned that this has been a recurring issue, but he insisted it hadn’t happened since May. Well, I can assure you, I was there when the doors stayed locked. In person, Collin came off as a bit dismissive and didn't really care about my concerns. On a brighter note, the rest of the staff truly deserves 5 stars! They are always cleaning, engaging with members, or Training Clients!

My only real complaint is that it's really crowded on weeknights and it isn't open long enough. There's always people in there with me at 10:50 scrambling to finish once the desirable machines finally clear up. Other than that I really like the steakhouse lighting, the machine selection, the overall vibes, and the trainer I was paired with. As for the complaints in these reviews: the employees don't always say hi at the desk, but who cares? We're there to work out not to socialize with the employees lol. And I've been coming here since April and I have only seen a broken machine once, and it was fixed within the week. Also, I dont know what these men are out here doing, but the women's bathroom is always clean. I will admit it is frequently quite crowded with people who look like they could be my son 🤣👵🏼, but I think that just means it's a sought-after gym. If y'all could just stay open until midnight on weeknights and ten on weekends, that would be lovely.
