text: Having been a member of a national chain gym in the past I was a bit skeptical about joining Golds and dealing with the hassle of contracts and parking and busy machines Not so here I will say I love going to this gym nn No annual contract that was the biggest pain dealing with during my last membership at a different gym I do not know if I am going to be living somewhere for however many years and canceling is a PAIN IN THE ya know They have good deals at Golds for me it was mo for access to all classes and gyms nationwide and only a yearly maintenance fee I can deal with that No hidden fees crap AND I get to bring a friend free every time I go to the gym I have taken advantage of this option almost every time and it is really great for and workout with a friend My friend likes it so much he is getting his own membershipnn Cardio cinema what else is there to say this is so cool and such a fun easy way to get cardio in I wish it were open past pm and it is annoying to have to stop my workout to ask them to reset the movie but I am being picky nownn Good classes I have done body combat yoga yoga bootcamp Rasa is awesome I wish this class was offered more Zumba body pump and some others they are all great Seems to be a good community where teachers recognize you and they have fun Halloween and party kickoff classes Variety of options and times and if I want more there is always the Eastern locationnn They do a good job of maintaining the place I have been a member since August and since then they have replaced the padding on some machines and also fixed one of the TVs that had been out I have not tried the showers or sauna but the locker rooms have always been clean and same goes for the rest of the gym There is plenty of parking and even on peak times like pm on weekdays there is usually not much wait for a weight machine and I have always been able to find an elliptical in the cinema room It never feels really busy which is greatnnIm a big fan of this gym I will be a member here for the long term
