Aqua Fitness

Welcome to "The Mecca" - we are the original, the place where it all began. More than 45 years ago, Joe Gold opened a modest fitness center in Venice Beach, California and began a tradition of commitment, passion and dedication that is now practiced at more than 700 locations across the globe.

Our gyms are built to help people realize their goals and find their inner strength. We combine the most diverse amenities in the industry with the best personal training to deliver the ultimate fitness experience.

At Gold's Gym you'll find all of the latest cardio and strength training equipment along with a dynamic group exercise program that includes classes like yoga, group cycling, mixed martial arts, muscle endurance training and pilates. Most importantly, you'll find an energetic, supportive environment full of all kinds of people who are committed to achieving their goals.

Our global staff of personal trainers and group exercise instructors is the best in the business - period. Whether it is a mom looking to get in shape after having a child, a marathon runner training for his or her next race or a Hollywood star training for their next action movie,- we leverage over 45 years of fitness experience to create personalized fitness programs that help our members realize their potential.

As our staff and members can tell you, when you put on a Gold's Gym t-shirt, it means something special. It's not street cred... it's strength cred. You become part of a tradition of commitment and excellence that spans more than 30 countries, 36 states and has helped millions accomplish their dreams.
