Gold’s Gym Closes, Members Informed By Note On Door

HUNTSVILLE, Ala.(WHNT)-An indoor space to work out in can be critical when winter termperatures arrive.  But, members of one local gym have been literally left out in the cold.

According to a note pasted on its front door, the Gold’s Gym on Bailey Cove Road in south Huntsville is now closed.  Customers who were expecting a Monday morning workout were locked out instead.

A two paragraph note pasted to the gym’s front door stated that the landlord asked Gold’s Gym to vacate.  No reason for the sudden closing was given and no answers available for customers who are wondering what happens next.

Our cameras captured several gym members finding the unwelcome news as they walked to the entrance Monday.

“It’s a little bit frustrating,” said gym member Kenzie Broome. “I was out of town this past week and I didn’t know about it.  I guess I’ll do stuff on my own, run around the neighborhood. Suck it up and run in the cold.”

Our messages to Gold’s Gym and the building’s landlord went unanswered Monday.

The notice posted to the gym’s front door states that all automatic bank drafts for monthly memberships will be stopped.  Butl there’s no confirmation that’s actually happened.

They withdrew my monthly membership today…..so yes they are still taking money out of accounts. They were not cancelled!

      I believe you can go to the bank and they will restore your account. At least that is what the BofA people told me when I was in a gym in Tennessee and they wanted automatic withdrawals. I asked what if they withdraw when they are not supposed to? Answer: Come in and tell us, and we will restore the balance.” Good luck.

  • Corey Cooper says:

    I literally just purchased a membership with Gold’s Gym not but three weeks ago. I made the decision to purchase a whole year’s membership up front and now that its closed, I wont be able to use it.

  • John Doe says:

    Folks if you are a member you better call your bank and cancel your automatic drafts yourself.  The gym will be “accidentally” still receiving your money for the next couple of months if YOU are not careful.

  • And this pattern is repeating itself in Huntsville more & more and now, accelerating as our local economy is steadily declining…the recession has never been over for Huntsville, just “shoved under the table” by the City “Fathers/Mothers” to serve their own self interests…now it cannot be hidden anymore, just look around to see the growing recession in Huntsville’s closed businesses…after Christmas many more will fold!

    I have had a terrible experience with this gym already and was told by corporate to cancel locally, and told in the gym that I had to e-mail corporate. That being said, I am still paying monthly membership fees and haven’t been in months. If anyone has advice please let me know!
