If one is looking for the basic necessities and good equipment with a relatively low membership fee than this gym may be good fit, however, be shore to bring an IPod or a portable music player because the music played at this gym would put a sixty year old women with hearing problems to sleep. The music often consists of second-hand Bon Jovi and Billy Joel artistic pieces not song by the original artist. which is most likely because Gold's gym Natick operates on a poor XM-radio station. The men's locker room often has a less than decent smell as the plumbing is routinely below par and the scale for which one can measure an accurate body weight (a must in any fitness environment) is non-existent. To add to this list of blunders, the general management is apathetic to the world of fitness and member achievement.
Although there is alot of room for improvement, if one is looking for great equipment with a solid workout space at a relatively low cost and great fitness knowledgeable trainers than this may be the place for you.

While the name Gold's Gym often evokes the image of serious gym-goers, this Gold's Gym in Natick is great for anyone! There are plenty of machines although sometimes there is a wait for some equipment during busy times. This gym also offers classes, although I can't speak too much of those because I've never taken any. There isn't really anything fancy here, but the price reflects that, so it's worth it if you are just looking for a good basic gym.
