Gold’s Gym in Gaithersburg Has Closed

Gold’s Gym at 18810 Woodfield Rd in Gaithersburg, located next to the Montgomery County Airpark, has closed. The gym’s last day in business was Friday, August 25. The chain recently opened a new location at 12922 Middlebrook Rd in the former location of DSW in the Germantown Commons shopping center. According to an email Gold’s Gym sent to members earlier this month, “The county is taking the land back under what is called eminent domain relating to the neighboring airfield – we are being required to exit and turn the building back over to the landlord.” Full email below:

Important Update on Gold’s Gym Gaithersburg (Airpark)
Dear Gold’s Gym Member,

We have some important news to share about your membership at Gold’s Gym Airpark and want to be transparent in our communication of some upcoming changes set to occur this month. The county is taking the land back under what is called eminent domain relating to the neighboring airfield – we are being required to exit and turn the building back over to the landlord. This is out of our control, unfortunately, and we are forced to permanently close Gold’s Gym Airpark on August 25th, 2023.

Upon our exit, we want to assure you we are still committed to being your fitness home of choice. Effective August 25th, your membership will transfer to the NEW Gold’s Gym Germantown location, and you will still have access to 18 locations in the DMV – Including the following nearby locations:

Gold’s Gym will also be opening a Silver Spring location in the space that was occupied by Washington Sports Club until Fall 2020. While it was initially expected to open in 2023, a representative from the recently opened Germantown location has let us know that a late 2023/early 2024 opening is now in the cards.
