It was very clear what the options where, and what the $20 a month got you. Yeah the $20 a month is a gimmick it gets people through the door and then they sell you on a better membership. If you can't figure that one on your own . . . . Sorry. Second of all if you are too lazy to walk your butt to the gym and ask about memberships or change your membership, I have a feeling you aren't going to the gym anyway? =) Probably not that dedicated to fitness.
So here is the deal with this place; the $20 membership is crap you can't do that one because you can't get your parking validated (that is what the one girl was complaining about) she got the cheap one ($20 a month) and was probably getting her parking validated for awhile before they figured it out. The $20 a month membership doesn't include anything except the gym itself. No perks. No free towels, no parking, no classes, etc. If you upgrade and get the $35 a month (that's what I pay). You get unlimited classes, parking, tanning, towel service, can bring a friend for free every time you work out, etc. All those people complaining about parking, classes etc got the cheap $20 membership.
They have a huge movie room that shows movies around the clock, its super cool and I go every day at 4:15-5:30PM and it's not crowed at all! However after 5:30pm it did get busy. Yes they gym has diversity in its cliental that frequent the place. However I don't see how that should matter?
I love it, I bring my husband on the weekends and we just watch movies and work out together. I bring my girlfriends during the week to work out with me. We both get our parking validated, get free towels, can tan for free, watch movies, go to classes. I think for $35 a month that is a steal (and no I didn't pay a sign up fee, but there is an annual fee). The staff has all been nice, and my free training session I was given went really well too. Jeff the trainer taught me some cool lifts/moves that I am still using. The gym is in a great location and when there are events going on in downtown Phoenix I use my free 3 hour validation from my gym. I also belong to LA fitness and I think Gold's gym is way nicer. I pay $25 a month at LA fitness but I can't ever bring friends for free and no movie room. The only reason why I still have LA is that it is 1 min from my house, while Gold's is 20 min (but is close to my work).
So I would very much recommend this gym, but I am not offended if you don't join that way I can always find a treadmill when I watch my movies, ha ha
This place only gets 4 stars though because no pool and it is a smaller gym.
