text: I have been a member of the Village for quite awhile and loved the place for all it is ammenities but for some reason I would dread going there In retrospect the drive was just a hassle the distance the traffic For the gym itself the hoards of kids screaming jumping around was a lil tough So when I saw the reviews of Golds elite that is only a mile from my house I knew I had to check it outnFirst it was a little tricky for me to find but if you come down st st and turn right onto Washington the oneway stay in left lane the parking garage is there on your left Be careful pulling in Watch the signs nnThe gym is on the second floor and let me tell you Gorgeous view wide open climate controlled gym to a cool temp My salesperson Jessica is amazing she was fun open and not a hard sell The gym sells itself really I got the full tour signed up made my first training appt got my free travel passes for next week then I was out the door in min That was awesome I was on a schedule another perk the restaurant First Watch is on the corner and starbucks on the other I be ready for an eggwhite omelet after a good workout nIll be riding my bike since it is so close They do not have bike racks yet but no problem they will accomodate my wheels The price is reasonable nSo bye bye Village you were good to me but hands down Golds Elite has what works for me
