| - I think that this is a great gym for those who simply want a no frills gym.
Let me begin by telling you my sign-up experience since I see that others have differed from mine. The gentleman who I spoke with was Brandon and originally I was only doing the one-week pass to try them out. He quickly set me up in about 10 minutes and then I was on my way to the weights. Near the end of my one week, I did receive a text from him (I gave him the OK to text me before the week ends) explaining a current promotion that they were having. I arranged for a good time for the both of us and came in to sign up the next day after discussing which plan would be the best for me. I personally felt like he did not pressure me to go towards a certain membership or implemented a hard-sell tactic on me. He did advise me about enrollment fees for the $9.95 monthly plan and the one year contract for the $15.95 monthly plan so that I would not be surprised.
The check-in staff here knows how to smile, have always been friendly, and answer any questions that I have without attitude unlike other gyms I held memberships at. There isn't much required from you, just make sure you always have your member key fob and a towel.
Now for the gym itself.. Even during "busy hours" you won't end up having to wait long for a mat, machine, weight, or bar. The cardio area isn't the best, but it works. I think the MMA area is fantastic because they are striving to provide more for their members. Most of the time when I am near the "stretching area," there is a class going on and the instructors seem fantastic because members stay motivated and moving during the classes. Also, let me give a shoutout to a worker that I ALWAYS see re-racking weights and keeping this Gold's Gym location looking immaculate. That guy needs a raise! The only con I could think of is the putrid smell that always seems to come from the women's locker room.
If you happen to forget your water or protein, they have it available for purchase at Gold's.. The 7-11 in the same complex.. OR you can go next door to the nutrition shop literally located right next to the gym.
