| - I guess my GG in San Antonio is a little different from how GG operates here in Vegas...
For starters, the monthly charge is dirt cheap- but the facility is, too.
This is a bare-bones gym: no frills here, but they do have free group classes like zumba and bodypump.
The setup of the gym is like a triangle- the hypotenuse is lined with cardio equipment facing a wall of flatscreens (most without captions and all machines too far away to actually read them, and no means of plugging in your earbuds to hear the audio?).
From the right angle radiating outward (go with my triangle comparison, if you've been in there, you'll get it) is all of the weights equipment, which seems to be the focus of the majority of the regulars here.
You'll see all range of ages, but mostly men, lifting. But more obviously than that, you'll hear them grunting and slamming down their free weights and obnoxiously clanking down their machine weights without any regard for form or control. It's downright distracting even from across the room on one of the few ellipticals that is from this decade.
In any case, I will say that the customer service was good- apparently this is not part of the Golds Gym chain, but an independently owned gym? I have no idea how that even possibly works or why, but that's what I was told when I tried to use my membership at this location. The staff was always friendly and helpful, though, so I didn't have too many complaints.
For a bare-bones gym, this place isn't bad, but just make sure you bring your own lock for the lockers (or you can take the risk of putting your stuff in and shutting the door, which I did multiple times without issue- but I didn't really have anything of value there either), bring your own towel to comply with the posted notices that all machines require one, and bring your iPod or MP3 player of choice, as there did not seem to be any playing in the gym itself, and as I stated above the TVs were practically inaccessible.
Lastly, be prepared to sweat it out. Other than the odd vents in the locker room, this place didn't seem to have central air or any fans, which I found pretty odd.
All in all, not bad for a vacation gym, but simply not at all up to the Golds Gym standard as I've experienced it elsewhere, so plan accordingly. But to reiterate, despite all of the above, customer service was top notch- super friendly, helpful, and patient.
