The 2 best ones(I've been in at least a dozen): Mountain View, CA and Modesto, CA.
Venice is cool but the overrated 20$ day pass puts a break on your daily fun... plus there's Prince hanging around all the time ::)

I AGREE WITH THE OVERATED 20 DOLLAR PASS

They do suck bigtime. The new owners know nothing about the gym industry and have ruined the aura that Gold's once had. They have moved the majority of the offices to Texas. In fact allot of the upper management doesn't even work out of the offices. They only show up once a week and less sometimes and work out of their houses. It was once (when Pete owned it) the best in the World and now it is shitty. They are greedy and will soon ruin it totally

Back in '01-'02, I used to work out at a Gold's in Fort Smith, AR. I would see Don Youngblood in there all the time. He was the biggest dude I'd seen in real life and it was great motivation for me. I felt bad for his family when he died. I moved from AR in '03 and went back to visit in April this year and there's no longer a Gold's there. It's now some type of family fitness gym....didn't go in tho. Didn't want to, really. I'd rather remember it the way it was.
-
My favorite gym is Koloseum Gym in Fullerton. It used to be a Golds. Its a very intense, motivating workout enviroment. ( and there is always alot of pros there)
-
Buddy of mine went to a couple of Golds a few years ago when he was on vacation in Florida with his family. Low quality gyms!

I don't know how but this has gayed up an already gay thread started by shadow ;D
Gold's is alright, better then most pussy ass gyms you see these days but not really hardcore at all :-\

Any Gold's are still way better than Fitness First or better known as Fagness First here LOL! FF is spreading big time in Asia..like wild mushrooms. :P :-X

There is no gym anywhere like golds gym venice. Hek, I would pay the $20 if I wasn't able to walk in through the back door that is left open all the time when they empty the trash and forget to close it. I miss that place since movin to Vegas
Now that I'm in Las Vegas, I belong to Golds as well as the Las Vegas Athletic Club. They have better machines than Golds does here, and comparable free weights. And if you go to LVAC in Henderson near the Greenvally Ranch, there are Hot Show Chicks Everywhere, EVERYDAY!
In the summer, it is great to catch some ray's outside and do some benchin or curls at the Pit on Venice Beach.

I go to a GOld's. Its less of a "meat market" than the others in the area, has some real people in and working it...but the music sucks. I workout around 10am and its mostly guys in their thirties and the senior's class (which I dig a lot...tons of great people) but the music they play...Brittney Spears and the male equivalents. I could understand if it was later in the day and the place was lined with women on the cardio machine (which it is after 6pm)...but in the meantime, Im standing around with these other guys lifting listening to "Hit me baby" or Gwen STefani or Ricky Martin crap.
Just started to bring my MP3 player....its all better now :)
-
shit, it's hard to find a good gold's these days. There's a new one just open in my area, and there was a lot of hype about it. I went to see if I could transfer from my current gold's, shit, I was very disappointed to say the most. the weight room is very shitty, and they have way too many machines. I decided to stick with the current gold's. What has Gold's gym coming to...
-
I go to Gold's
it's affordable and its 24 hours
-

Where did he go freespirit? I live in Lakeland ( between Tampa & Orlando ) our Gold's isn't bad. There aren't any pros in here but it is equiped pretty good. It has all types of people working out at different levels any time of the day too.
-
I like Gold's our gym has been opened for at least 10 years
-
my golds is split up in two sections. on one side is the bodybuilding section where you can use chalk and theres lots of heavy freeweights. the other side is where the fat and old people can go.
-
I worked/worked out at a Gold's before it sold to PLANET FAGNESS...
Now there's a new Gold's franchise in the area doing very well...but I don't train there. It's always packed...

It wouldn't have sold to planet fitness corporate the gold's owners would have dropped out of golds and converted to planet fitness the way mike katz did.
Planet fitness corporate (a private company owned by 2 brothers and a partner) only own 6 of the gyms themselves in NH. The rest are owned by individuals who pay $25000 upfront for the name and a cut every month of their profits...

I like my golds
I do hardly ever see anyone squat though
-
Loved my old gym.Worlds gym was the best gym ever. f**k golds. I went to the one in South Boston and it was like a frekin ballys. Worlds was hardcore but not to hardcore. Then Planet Gayland came and fucked it all up.
Fucking shithole.

you're disgusting.
and you don't work out.
-
i work out at a gold's gym when i am home, nothing special,i train at the university gym when I am at school, so much better
-
Only 2-3 Gold's here in Phoenix and all of them are at least 30-40 minutes away - they build one closer to home and I'm there.
-
i wish...i workout at la fitness. its a nice gym but there are too many things wrong with it.
-
golds in modesto ca is world class.
Also anyone worth 2cents should go to venice!!!! its the mecca for christ sake
-
All Gold's gyms in Canada usually go under and most of them have sucked,the only that is fairly decent is Henderson Thornes gym in Mississisauga,ontario,not bad but don't drop a weight or grunt though,so that gives you an idea.Sometimes the best gym is in your own house,great for a change.Lift as much free weight you possibly can and make all the noise you want.Actually WINDSOR,Ontario has an unbelievable gym called lifestlyles,i know the name sounds faggish,but it's actually mean and rugged and huge,5 of everything.

Yes it IS. But, the idiots who now run it have moved the corporate offices to texas. They know nothing about the gym industry and has ruined a once great thing.

it was a franchise owned Gold's to begin with and buried in debt from past owners poor business tactics, it was turning around until the owners decided to bow out...

go to the one in sydney on a saturday morning and you'll find maybe 3 girls out of 200 people there...

I do. It is better than anything else in my area. I used to go to Powerhouse before I moved and it was much more intense. Now I am surrounded by fat housewifes and retirees.
