Golds Venice Closed Xmas.1st time ever.

[chainsaw]

I drove from Vegas to have my yearly xmans workout.  Only the hardcore are there xmas day.  Golds is no longer hardcore, for it was actually closed, so We (my wife and I) jogged along the beach.  Perhaps 24hr fitness is now more hardcore.  I have been doing this workout for 10 years, someone should wake up the owners.  It wasn't like no one goes, its had hundreds there each xmas...  I'm freakin upset!

I didn't think I'd have to call this year to see if it would be open.  Golds venice should never close.  Period!

i know, this sucks, Gold's around here has always been open until 2pm until this year.

[Mr. Michael Moore]

The problem is you shouldn't wait 'till xmas to have your first workout of the year. Hope this helps!!

[Slick Vic]

You should be so lucky to even work out there... Period!

As a gym owner I know they finally woke up to the fact the staff need Christmas off and they save money on holiday wages! Good for Golds.

[TheAnimal]

Most of the gyms in Melbourne think the same way, thats why I stay open, always 24:7. While all the other gyms are closed, we have had nearly 200 casuals since saturday.

Hardcore people have to train. I thought as a gym owner you would understand that. I dont mean people who want to train, I mean people who NEED to train. A percentage of my gym members and obviously other gyms members, will work out everyday no matter what, it is part of their make up, what makes them tick.

Gym owners tell me all the time that it is crazy to always stay open. What happens next is their members train here when they are shut, they love it and end up joining. 24:7 everyday for nearly 10 years, maybe I am dumb?

I agree 100% a place where people are serious about training or trying to an atmosphere conducive to this attitude gyms should be open as much as possible its rediculous if a gym is closed on all public holidays in my opinion. Hell I went to a gym where it was closed on the "eve" of public holidays also what a joke!

Think of the employees though, you know none of them want to work on christmas.  That I can undestand

Sometimes.  But if one of your employees is a lonely guy with no family, who is pretty likely to impose on you for dinner (or eat a .38 and ruin your weekly schedule), it might be better to let him work that day so he can associate with others.

[Mr. Intenseone]

Enlighten yourself abt the origins of christmas my friend

I'll do that, and in the meantime maybe you can convince the people of the world to change the date of CHRISTtmas!

[Sir William Idol]
