text: This gym is MAJOR!!! When I entered Gold's Gym Elite I felt as if I was checking into a hip hotel like The W. Very modern, stylish and CLEAN!! I am beyond happy about joining! It is extremely clean, which a gym should be. The staff is friendly and helpful. The cardio machines are way cool. Each one has a personal tv to use and a cord to connect your i-POD. How cool is that? It doesn't have a pool which is a bit of a downer. The views from the gym are excellent. I did my cardio workout the other day and watched all of the planes flying into Sky Harbor. It was fantastic! Gold's Gym Elite in Phoenix is not overly crowded which makes working out there so much more enjoyable. I was a member for a long time to a very popular gym in this part of the valley. It was way too crowded, and the bathrooms were filthy. I gladly ended my membership and joined Gold's Gym Elite.
