Very convenient if you work in the downtown area. Gold's has all the cardio and weight machines I need during my workouts plus the limited free parking is nice rather than pay the outrages prices to park downtown.
There are a good bit of cons to Gold's though. I don't fine the gym very clean. Stains on the carpets, dust bunnies under all the equipment. I would take advantage of the boot camp or other classes that they offer, but the thought of crawling around on those floors like I see from time to time with those classes makes me stomach turn.
Gold's needs to ENFORCE customers to CLEAN OFF THE EQUIPMENT! I couldn't tell you how many times I had to wipe down a machine after someone else used it. It is common sense... I don't want to sit in your sweat and I don't expect you to sit in mine.
The older woman that sits in front of the desk in the morning is quite nasty. Gave me a hard time when I first started coming in the mornings because I asked for two towels. Their policy is one towel per member and they don't offer towels on the weekend. That struck me as odd.
Locker rooms are small... You are pretty much on top of each other when getting ready in the morning.
