| - I hadn't been here since the old Gold's Gym days and was surprised to see that nothing has changed. Same layout, no added amenities, limited screens/audio jacks. I guess I thought they'd at least invested in their new property. Unfortunately, this carries over even to the workout classrooms, which lack even the basics like fans- they have a few standing ones they drag over that do nothing to help the limited air circulation, and even the weights are old and in incomplete sets.
That said, there's a surprisingly strong community vibe here, especially in the cardio dance classes. Unlike other gyms, you will truly see people of all shapes, sizes, and ages here, and there's a welcoming vibe. But that's the only plus I've found (but it is an important one!).
For a basic, no-frills gym, this spot is fine. But my preferred local gym chain is less than a half mile away, charges less ($20 vs $25, no annual fee), and provides more.
