Gold’s Gym

I joined this gym bcuz the price was right. I do not live in the area but visit freq. A daily charge is too much for my liking. Gym is good if u area just there to get a work out in. The 4 or 5 tv’s in front of cardio machines are getting outdated. Gyms are now moving towards individual tv’s on the machine. Gym does not offer enough stretching area. The weight area is extensive, but can be intimidating to some.
They do not offer towels. They ask u to clean machines with spray and a universal towel which is left on the ground and used multiple times.
I felt like i had to jump in hoops to become a member. I am not fond of a long sales pitch. They hook u up w/​a trainer for a intro workout… Again felt like a sales pitch for health supplements — highly priced. For those who are willing to pay tje trainers seem knowledgeable and are friendly.

for a gold’s gym, there are definitely muscle here as one would expect. they have a good number of cardio machines that have a headset attachment to view the different channels on the tvs they have lining the ceiling/​wall. i never had to wait for a cadrio machine and they’re big enough where i can run fast without causing the machine to shake.
the classes here are just okay. i took the «yoga» class and it was part tai chi/​part yoga/​part pilates. i liked the good mix. the cardio class didn’t really work me that hard. i can run for 30 minutes at like a 6.5 and get twice a better work out than the cardio. it had some kickboxing moves, but nothing that brought my heart rate that high. i could never get myself to wake up for the abs express class
they really have a lot of weights, however, it seems like they cater to the body builders and there were not that many lower weights as i had to scrounge for some 5 and 8 pounders. they have a separate room for just women if you don’t want to work out in front of those testerone-​filled main rooms.
never showered there. i like how they had hand sanitizers around and a spray bottle and a towel for people to wipe off the machines when they were done. have not tried their in house juice bar, but a lot of people seem to go there after a work out.
overall good gym, you just need to have a pass from a local hotel and not have to pay the $ 15 a day guest pass (yuck).
