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, California, flagship years ago, but even today, customers frequenting charter locations 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 attractions that draw the beef-heads in droves.

I have been going to gyms for over 22 years and consider myself a fitness club expert. I've viewed well over 10-12 different companies, so when I tell you that Gold's on brannan st. has the best equipment and service I have ever seen, and a good membership price, it offers the complete package, than you can believe it. I'm also assuming you know your way around a health/fitness club/equipment, but novices can always learn. The atmosphere is seriously working out, but not unfriendly. The locker room and shower area is small, and it helps if your gay, but they could use a few more woman. Been to 24 hr. fitness (stinks) and YMCA ( so-so) and this place is tops.

Pros: top equipment

Cons: small locker room

Editor's Review

Despite its Hollywood connections, this franchise's focus is on pumping iron, not newfangled razzle-dazzle.  See the full editorial review.
