text: I've been going to Gold's Gym for a couple months now, and I can say, it's the best gym I've tried in town. I'm a former member of LVAC and 24 Hour, and my experience here is much better.\n\nFirst off, it's $19 a month. No contract. Very affordable and you aren't locked into a 27(?) month plan like LVAC. You can add amenities like tanning, child care, etc...but I have no need for those.\n\nAlso, unlike LVAC, it's never too busy. Yes, from around 8-noon, and again from 4-7 it can be busier than normal, but I've never waited for a machine. They have a great variety of cardio machines, and a good number of weight machines. There is also a big free weight area, but I don't use it very often. \n\nI took my first class there yesterday, and it was great. Bodypump with Annie was a lot of fun, and Annie is a great instructor. I was the only guy in there, but she didn't make me feel out of place. I will absolutely go back again.\n\nI can't comment on the locker room facilities too much, as I rarely use them, but they seem clean and well maintained. They have a sauna. in there, too.\n\nGold's Gym often gets a bad rap. It's looked upon as the gym where all the juice heads go, and where all the girls get hit on. It all the times I've been there, I've only ever seen one douchebag try (unsuccessfully) to hit on a girl. I think it had something to do with his giant blowout. \n\nI knocked off one star due to one minor complaint. A few times I've seen machines that are out of order, and they seem to take a long time to fix them. Nothing too crazy, but can be annoying if you are looking for a particular machine to use.\n\nOverall this is a solid gym, with a little less frills than you would find at the bigger gyms. However, it's less busy, the price is right, and everyone is quite friendly. If you see me there, come say hi. I'll be sweating my butt off on the Crossfit machine.
