I recently signed up with Gold's and have already found my 3 gyms that I have already became a regular at. But that doesn't mean I won't drive around town checking the other Gold's out. I decided to give this gym a try since it is fairly close to home.
I was immediately disappointed with just the size of this gym. My second impression, this gym is stuffy and lacking ventilation. I came in on a Saturday night and there was about 10 other gym goers doing their thing. This gym is so small that even with less than 15 of us in the gym, it felt crowded. This gym is lacking a lot from equipment to free-weights. There's only one of everything here which means you have to wait just to get on a bench. I just can't imagine what it's like on Monday around 5 PM.
Cardio is located upstairs and the ventilation is even worse. You almost feel like you're doing cardio in an attic up there. The gym tried fixing this issue by placing a few commercial fans up there, but it's not enough. Perhaps this could be perfect for someone wanting to burn a ton of calories during cardio since it feels like it's over 100 degrees up there.
I'm glad I gave this place a try. Now I know that this is one of those Gold's that I plan on avoiding in the future. Still giving them 3 stars because it is a gym and I still managed to get a great workout.
