| - Just the name 'Golds Gym' has always intimidated me. I had the impression that the place was full of juice head muscle men and that there would be no actual, normal looking people working out. Not that musclemen are bad, I just didnt want to be the only gangly armed wimp in the joint.
A friend from San Antonio absolutely raves about her Golds Gym, and the classes that she takes there. She is addicted. I almost rolled my eyes at her for loving such a sweaty smelling scary place.
Until she had me come with her to a Body Combat class at my local Golds. I was hooked. The one hour I spent burning 9 million calories sent my body into overdrive and I LIKED feeling the burn.
Another friend of mine and I signed up that very day. My friend has gone back to San Antonio sadly, and it took awhile for other friend and I to get on track and actually step foot in the scary place without our tough Texas girl. But, we have, and now we understand the addiction. We finally had our orientation session, where we were educated on nutrition, and focused on short and long term goals. I like having goals.
Their daycare is nicely lit, clean, and the front desk and daycare staff is always friendly. Oh, and there are normal looking people like me EVERYWHERE.
The cardio cinema is a BLAST, though sometimes I'm glad it's super dark in there when I have a random outburst of laughter when watching the movie. Everyone else in their zones. The womens area has great equipment and I love watching women do their squats while watching a water birth on one TV, and watching the First Lady on Dr OZ on the other TV. Girl Power!
