| - I will go on record to say that this is the best gym that I have ever been to in my entire life existence. I am a member of the location in Lake Norman and I had a travel pass, so I thought I would check out the Epicenter location. My mind was completely blown from the first moment I walked though the door. They should just rename it Club Gold's or Gold's Nightclub. I thought I walked into the neighboring Kazba by mistake or something. It truly feels like a spa. I'm sure they do manicure/pedicures and facials somewhere in there. The lobby is so inviting. I see that's where they sign up new members and they probably sell memberships off the first floor alone, haha. The locker room was pretty sick too. I normally don't take showers at the gym bc they're usually dirty as hell but I could see myself taking a shower there if I needed to. They keep the place up pretty good. The cardio equipment is on the first floor and there's some pretty cool views of Uptown Charlotte as you're doing your thing on the cardio machines. Upstairs is where you will find the machines and free weights. Everything in this gym is new and top notch. They had a line of machines called Star Trac that I wasn't familiar with, but their line of products are amazing. I like the way their machines don't use a pin to change the weights, but just moving a latch adjusts the weight.....pretty cool. They also had a functional training room, which was pretty cool. Their dumbbells go up to 125lbs, so they got weights for all fitness levels. My only gripe with the dumbbell section though is it's not a really big area and it's in the corner, so I could see potential issues during peak hours with that area getting overcrowded and people trying to get past each other. Not enough to take off a star though b/c when I was there, I was able to use the dumbbells without any issues. Overall, it was pretty quiet around the gym, not too many people there at the time I was there, which was right around 4:30pm. They also had a Cardio Cinema upstairs as well. I didn't check it out, but it looked interesting. I've heard the membership per month is pretty pricy here, but for what you get for the money, i'm sure it's worth it. It's not what you think of when you think of a Gold's Gym....you can't have an old school gym in the middle of the Epicenter. You have to adapt to the market and the neighborhood, which is upscale and chic. I will definitely use some travel passes to come more often. I really love this gym.
