I joined this gym in Capital Hill about two weeks ago and I’m very happy with it. It is very clean and organized. I see someone cleaning the bathroom every time I go and I’ve neen going everyday. The instructors are friendly and no one has been obnoxious. This place doesn’t get too crowded. There is always a machine available. I take advantage of the sauna. I agree that an upgrade to the showers would be nice but they serve their purpose. Nothing has happened for me to give them anything less than 5 stars. It’s unfortunate to see that other locations aren’t doing so well.

Gold's Gym (Cap. Hill) in SW DC is an excellent gym for meeting your fitness goals. You have access to all of the equipment, classes and challenges in one membership fee, and the fitness instructors are focused on your progress and well-being. The gym is a clean, well-managed, friendly and pleasant place to work out. It is also next door to the Federal Center SW Metro Stop. I value my Gold's membership above all else.

The staff is very friendly and helpful, from Sam to Iverson. But the new guy Jasper could use a lesson in how to deal with costumers. He's good at his job but is lacking in personal skills. Other than that the gym is a good place. It's kinda small, but big enough for a good workout. And equipment is being slowly updated.

I'm disheartened at the decline the Cap Hill location has undergone. Catering largely to the workday crowd, the gym ostensibly offers a variety of group fitness classes. But the pickings have gotten ever slimmer, and even those that remain are rife with problems. For example, BodyPump used to be offered several days at midday, but those classes evaporated after Linda Haupt left in 2016. The club seems to be methodically replacing the Les Mills classes with its own in-house offerings. (Not that those can't be good, too.) And then we have the indoor cycling classes, RPM and GGX cycle. RPM is down to only one class per week, with an instructor who, though good, has other obligations and is absent about as often as she's there. Which would be fine if the class would still be RPM in her absence, but the sub for the class is never RPM-trained, so the class defaults to the unstructured GGX cycle. (The two are not equivalent or interchangeable; people's preferences vary, and RPM tends to be the first sacrificial lamb, perhaps owing to the challenge of finding RPM-certified instructors willing to travel to and park on the Hill.) Peter's class? Gone. Tamar's class? Gone. Matt's class? Gone. Jen's class? Gone. The Friday midday class? Gone. They were all fantastic. Sometimes people move, sure. Sometimes a class isn't getting enough attendees to justify its existence (maybe they need better promotion in the gym and on the website). But the decline is nonetheless jarring. This gym does nothing to truly enforce the rule against using cell phones during fitness classes. The spin room, for instance, is dark by design and has mirrors on the walls, so when people take out their huge smartphones and send text messages or check their work e-mail or post on Facebook during class, everyone in the room can see. Doing so is rude and disrupts the integrity of the workout for people who are serious riders. One point of the workout is to take yourself out of work mode for 45 minutes. If your job is so demanding that you have to check your e-mail even during your workout, please go use the equipment in the main gym, where using a phone wouldn't be as noticeable. Don't ruin the class, in its confined, dark space, for other people. Several participants engage in that behavior, but one stands out. The RPM instructor will sometimes call out the offending party multiple times, but the person pretends not to hear and continues using the phone--apparently with impunity. The well-meaning manager, Sam Hager, has spoken to that person more than once (after members complained to him) but seems not to do anything beyond that--despite repeated assurances that he would deal with the problem. The person continues coming to class and continues breaking the rules, with absolutely no consequences, even after several reminders. This person needs to be escorted out of the class or kicked out of the gym until she stops defying the posted rules. And in the main GGX studio, if you have time to check your phone during Pump or Combat, you're not working out hard enough. With the way classes here disappear, it's no wonder some instructors are reluctant to enforce the rules, lest they be seen as unpopular and risk losing their members (and thus their jobs). Between those problems and the continual state of disrepair of the locker room facilities, I've found it better (but certainly not easier or more practical) to go to other locations. The Gold's clubs in the Virginia suburbs (e.g., Clarendon, South Arlington, Ballston, and Merrifield) are harder to get to, no question. But at least there you get the classes as advertised, and when someone subs for a regular instructor, the format of the class doesn't change. And, best of all, those clubs respect the depth and intensity of the group fitness dynamic. People who use their phones during class are reminded one time that they need to step out of the classroom to take care of that business--and then if the problem persists they're asked to leave.

Well maintained gym, but some equipments can use an upgrade. The trainers are very energetic and helpful. It's a good environment to break the everyday pressure.
