Golds Gym Treadmills Reviewed

Golds Gym Treadmills

Golds Gym treadmills have been known for providing great value on their entry level machines. However, price increases the last few years has greatly lessened the attractiveness of this brand. But the good news is that there are newly released Gold's gym models that are cheaper and better than ever.

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.

About Gold’s Gym

Gold’s Gym is a chain of 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.

Currently, Golds Gym is the largest co-ed gym chain in the world with more than 600 facilities in 43 states and 25 countries. They are also licensing their name for fitness products that now includes treadmills.

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 is a Gold's Gym brand for 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)
