worthless gym
My World's Gym was bought out by these ass-hats.
There's a bell on the wall that goes off if there's 'too much noise' made.

All DB's over 60lbs were taken out.
All but one Bench Press was taken out
Curling cage, er...power cage and Squat rack were removed

AND! I was told directly:
We do not cater to body builders.

I was one of 1200 members who cancelled their memberships as soon as the change happened.

19 dollars per month may be a good deal for us, but it is a lot of money for people who live in India.

"There is no tomorrow." How is it possible? If there is no tomorrow, then there is no yesterday and no today. Don't you think so?

I was told off for deadlifting when I had a trial membership there. It's not even like I was deadlifting a lot of weight or making noise, apparently it's a "banned" exercise. I was like what the hell?

Goodies Goodies & some more goodies.....

I also get a "Traveler's Card" which allows me 14 DAY WORKOUT at any of the Gold Gym's franchise even INTERNATIONAL!!

I also get 3 buddie passes...which allow me to take 3 of my friends for a 1 day free trial workout & in case any one of those friend joins the gym then I get 1 month access FREE OF COST!!






They also have a car pick up & laundry service, laundry is chargeable.

I hope I am not dreaming......somebody slap me!!

Wow dude looks like you fell into some good shit! I gotta get out of my area gyms are WAY too expensive around north jersey.. But congrats to you!

Thanks Cgrant, So how much do you pay for the gym?

hehe...That all means they are probably getting ready to go bankrupt. Peak signed a ton up with all kinds of specials and now they are going under.

Now, nada cause I'm unemployed, but last time about 70 per month for world (golds was 65 but shorter hours and further away) so yeah its all a mess By me

This is some crazy shit. I NEVER have been told any of this shit at any gym and Ive been to a lot.

i rather be at golds than the weak ass ymca i go to

the old gym i used to go to had 3 benches, 1 smith machine, 1 bench rack with 2 bars, pull up/dip station, 2 adjustable cable pulley stations, 1 lat pull down station, 1 crunch machine, dumbells up to 85lb, 1 fly machine, 1 leg curl & extension machine, 1 adductor, 1 abductor, 1 concentration curl station, 1 leg press machine, and the rest just cardio stuff (treadmills/bkes/crosstrainers/row machines) and they had the audacity to charge its members £505 ($828 in the current economic climate, or closer to $900 at the time I joined) a year to join this gym. Mind you it also included tennis/squash but they had hidden charges for using the squash & tennis faclities.

The only reason I went there is because of how empty it was(i wonder why) & so I could use any station i wanted, and they charged me a fifth of the price because I was still in full time education.

Looking forward to uni though; with a student card i'd get charged £60 ($98) a year and the gym is huge, with shitloads of equipment and everything you can think of. Let the good times roll

I go to Gold's i like it. I pay a little more (30 a month)

But it's cool has everything i need. The DB only go up to 150lbs though so if you need more ask them what their max will be.

An a lot of pretty Machachas!!!

we need gold's gym in the UK

Yeah, I know that's $125/Sq.ft, but they rented 24000sq feet.

So they pay $3 mill per month, which by any standard LOTS of money!!

Gold's Gyms can realy vary because many of them are not built from the ground up. Many of them used to be other clubs, and were converted to a Gold's. Although Gold's is a franchise, they do not have spec regulations (every Walmart or McDonalds looks the same across the country) So, some Gold's have great equipment and facilities and others are crap.

^ Is that true? I am glad mine is better planned.

this is from their ufoc:

In California (and possibly in other states), if you are constructing a new Facility and plan to rely on the proceeds of membership sales to build and equip the Facility, the offer and sale of those memberships could be considered the offer and sale of "securities" under state law. Other than these laws, there are no regulations specific to the operation of a Gold's Gym Facility, but you must comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws that apply generally to all businesses. You should investigate these laws.

That's a very good deal IMO. I go to Fitness First and I pay around $45/month for my membership

We had a Planet Fitness open up in my town. Same crap as was noted above. I asked where the rest of the DBs were and they looked at me like I was some kind of criminal or something. The 'trainer' then told me:
"If you need more than 50 lb dumbells you are doing something wrong."
I replied "Uh...what?"
He repeated it again...and then I laughed so hard it hurt and then walked out.

I checked n all seems Okay, I am just waiting for them to open it

nice.
I imagine that after you walked out...they probably sneered and called you a neandrothal brute and then went back to their jazzercise workouts to get toned up...
