| - Ok. Ok. This review is months overdue. I moved to the area in January and was looking for a gym. I had been a member of Golds gym in the past and this was my first option. I didn't have to shop around, the price was better than I had previously.
Ofcourse any gym wouldn't be a gym, if they didn't offer the other programs available. I thought here I go, but after talking to Benjamin my attitude changed. I told him my goals and the trouble I had in the past and my concerns of putting back on the 40+ pounds that I had recently lost. Hence the reason for joining a gym rather than using the free gum at my apartment complex. I was loosing my motivation and needed help. He suggested that I would benefit from a personal trainer. I signed on for one day a week for a year.
My first trainer, Kalinda was great,but she moved and I inherited Nick. Nick is awesome. He gives a lot of useful information. He stress the importance of diet and correct form. I am totally worn out after each workout, but I feel great. I know that I would have seen more results if I follow his eating recommendations, but old habits are hard to break. I'm a work on progress. All of the trainers are helpful. They definitely lend a helping hand if they see someone doing an exercise incorrectly. Nor are they are pushing.
Each time that I've went the facility is cleaned or was being cleaned. Granted there are times where it's busy and getting on machines not knowing if they had been wiped down. No problem, there are paper towels and spray conviently located throughout the gym. Once my water bottle fell, the top came off, and water went everywhere, even on another patron (sorry). The cleaning lady stopped what she was doing and cleaned up my mess. I have been in many times where the cleaning crew was busy wiping down machines, mopping, dusting, cleaning bathrooms, and so on.
Since being a member of Golds I have not had any problems. Lots of classes to choose from. The staff is professional and you get a warm greeting each time you come in. The ladies at the front desk aknowledge you coming in and going out. I have been to the other Gold gyms around town and this one is my favorite.
