I find this gym to be inspiring, my boyfriend and I came over from anytime and the difference in motivation from staff to the people training makes it easier to be consistent with going. However I’m just leaving this review in hopes that something can be done about the treadmills. The nice ones that face inward to the gym all have problems besides three. One doesn’t work at all, the screen doesn’t work on another, incline doesn’t work on one. So if the ones that do work are taken you’ve gotta go up to the other ones. Was also excited to try out the cinema room treadmills just to find out all but one were broken and it was taken so missed out on being able to watch a Robin Williams classic. Everything else in the gym seems great and hopefully this will reach the right person:)

The gym is cleaner than some of the others I've recently shopped, including lifetime south, 24 hr Hancock, and ymca town lake. However, the parking is only validated if you are a member and buy that service. Parking is not validated for a day pass. They only have 3 squat racks, and two of them you can't even adjust the guards down or up. They have like 2 other Smith machines if you are fine with that...
The dip handles are too wide as well for me as a 5'10" male, no adjustable option... The wider you do dips, the more shoulder strain it is...
Good if you just do the basics and want a clean gym without rusted equipment. No hip thrust machine, you gotta set that up. Locker rooms were cleaner than lifetime south. Bring your own lock. Not many people stretch here. Good studio floor space that isn't used if you need a wide open space. Good cardio equipment. 95% of the clientele were men between the ages of 25-40 when I went from 4-7ish on a Tuesday. Not many women (probably because they lack a hip thrust machine...they just have the kick back machine which doesn't get very heavy). Most people do not make conversation. One guy I talked to was friendly, and he was from France. The staff were friendly and helpful and did a good job explaining the fees and options with membership. The club looks nicer than all the other places I've listed above in spite of the aforementioned inadequacies for my own workout needs.

This gym is incredibly clean and well-run. It’s clear etiquette is big here — weights were re-racked, all the equipment was clean, and everyone was just focused on getting through their lift.
The front desk staff is incredibly helpful and kind. They answered all of my questions with patience and set it up to be a great experience. I absolutely recommend this Gold’s to anyone in the area!
