Pools aren't just for floating on inflatable unicorns. From power-packed aqua workouts to chill "me-time" sessions, pools have got it all. And guess what? You're among the countless folks who've clocked the awesomeness of diving in, especially when the fitness mood strikes.

Here's a real-life combo you'll only get at gyms with pools:

• Relaxation: Had a tough workout? Jump in and let the water do its magic.
• Swim Training: Whether you're channeling your inner Michael Phelps or just swimming off last night's pizza.
• Pure aqua fun: Pools are kiddo and grown-up playgrounds. Splash wars, anyone?

Here at gymscompared.com, we've rounded up the best pool hangouts around. Whatever floats your boat (or floatie), we've got the exclusive info. Dive in with us!

Gold's Gym does have pools—but only at certain locations.

We've done the research for you, and have their exact location list below. 

(Don't forget: we call, check their website, and even DM their socials to make sure our info is accurate!)

​

"Just" 34 of the total 169 Gold's Gym locations have a pool. Still, that's a win for this gym chain, considering many of it's competitors have no pool at all. 

Gold's — one of those most well known and original gym chains have locations with pools in California, Tennessee, Texas and more.

For members, absolutely. No additional charge to use the pools at Gold's gym. Your monthly membership costs allows you to use all the standard equipment, in addition to the pool.

Gold's Gym features both indoor and outdoor lap pools, perfect for an energizing back-and-forth swim. We don't have the exact count of which ones are indoor/outdoor, however. 

It's important to know that indoor pools are much more common at gyms, and likely true at Gold's. Those that are inside come with a few great benefits:

• Year-round aqua workouts (or relaxation). No worries about cold temps outdoor!
• Typically, these are heated to keep the water at a consistent temperature. Usually pools at gym are between 80 and 84 F.
• At Gold's, hot tubs are often just a few feet away from the pool. Of their 34 locations with a pool, 19 of them have a hot tub.

That's a good question, but unfortunately we aren't sure about that right now. It's on our list to check!

Sure do. After checking all of Gold's gym pages, we're noticing that aqua classes are offered at some, but not all of their locations. Water-based workouts are excellent as they're low-impact and joint-friendly. Gold's offers:

• Aqua Fitness - resistance exercises to help improve your cardiovascular system, as well as muscle tone. 
• Aqua Zumba - stretching, twisting, splashing Zumba workouts, aqua friendly

​

It's a pleasant surprise to see Gold's Gym offer up pools to their members. While not at every single location, 34 total across the country is still quite a decent amount. You can expect to jump into an aqua class or two, as well with this fitness chain.
