Golds Gym Treadmills Reviews

Golds Gym treadmills have been known for providing great value on their entry level machines.

Is This The Brand For You?

If you’re looking for great entry level treadmills then this brand is a good choice. With their new models, you'll certainly have a hard time looking for a cheaper brand that offers the same features. (You might want to visit our best buy treadmills page to see if there are Gold's Gym treadmills included in our list)

About Gold’s Gym

Gold’s Gym is a chain of fitness gyms, founded by Joe Gold in Venice, California. It was featured in the movie “Pumping Iron” starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno, which bought a lot of attention to the gym.

Golds Gym treadmills are licensed by Icon Health and Fitness. Icon is the largest manufacturer and marketer of exercise equipment in the world. It has 4,800 employees and 10 manufacturing facilities in the United Stated, Canada and China. It is also owns the license to other well known brands like Proform, Reebok, and Weslo just to name a few.

Price Range

Gold's gym units are priced between a little below $400 up to as high as above $1,500. These prices include Gold's latest models.

Weakness

It use to be that the biggest weakness of this brand is that they lack variety. The VX5000 was, for the last few years, the only unit Gold's has been selling. But that problem has been fixed with the introduction of new and better models. However, the brand still needs to put more effort in their marketing. A lot of people still don't know that there are Golds Gym treadmills.

Would I Recommend It?

To conclude, I do recommend Golds Gym treadmills but only as a starter treadmill. Although they have improved their quality, it is still not good enough for hardcore runners. (See our best buy treadmills page if you are looking for machines with excellent quality)

Where to Buy?

If you plan on buying a Golds Gym, I suggest you get one from Walmart.com or Workoutwarehouse.com.

But before you buy, please read our reviews on individual Gold’s Gym treadmills below. It will help you better choose the fitness equipment that suits you best.
