Editorial Review for Gold's Gym – by Drew Pisarra
In Short
The Terminator and the Incredible Hulk (aka Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno) lifted weights at the gym's Venice, Calif., flagship years ago, but even today, customers frequenting charter loations are bound to encounter serious muscle. Take note: The boys with bulging biceps are the mascots, not the majority. Gold's generally offers Spinning, aerobics and kickboxing classes, yet weight-training remains the core of the program. Dumbbells and barbells, not spa-like amenities, are the rule.

I have been a member for nearly 2 years, and observed the gym go through many, many changes, mostly improvements. It still offers some of the best equipment anywhere, is always clean, has long hours, and is still a fairly good value. However... Overcrowded peak periods are becoming worse and worse. I have noticed a distinct sense of non-caring toward suggestions and requests... I work out early morning, between 5 -8am, like most normal gym goers for the physical aspect, being fit and staying healthy. I find it frustrating that I can't get on one of the treadmills, because some girl is on it pretending to get a cardio workout while twirling her hair and gossiping with their 'work out partner!' Quite frankly- I think of it as a three ring circus! And not have to stand around waiting for little miss nails to get done using the bench with her 2 lb Barbie chrome dumbbells… There is nothing worse than getting a good groove with some heavy weight then having to wait for some chick to get done using the bench as a stair stepper or the guy doing biceps in the only squats rackn, do have to say that I love the staff though- they are great, and the plasma TVs are a plus- too bad it doesn't make up for the frat party that is going on around me- but it does make you want to work out hard and quick, you have too to keep your sanity! But if you still want to go because it's convenient-its ok. Oh the bathroom its really small and the sauna REALLY, REALLY small, maybe 2 people inside.
Pros: Clean, lots of parking, lots of equipment
Cons: Crazy people in the morning...

A candy store of equipment leads to never a dull workout... assuming you have a sense or adventure. The owners of Bothell and Redmond Golds have seperated themselves among their franchise brethren. Details to a clean (I heard one of the partners owns a cleaning service) environment along with new equipment and a sea of cardio equipment with flat screens (aha... your choice of channels to watch) keeps their members happy. These guys "get it!"
