Gold’s Gym

When I am in need of a body-​break Gold’s Gym is where I go. This is a relatively new facility that is just approaching its 1 year anniversary. The facilities are clean, the equipment is all new, and this is certainly a facility that would do Hal Johnson proud!
This Gym has got it all, an abundance of weight and cardio machines, cardio studio (basically a movie theatre with cardio equipment), basketball court, spin studio, yoga studio, pool, sauna, steam rooms, and a women’s only section. They run all sorts of classes at all times of day at no extra charge to members. In addition they also have a daycare service for those who have children and still want to keep fit.
The locker rooms are fairly clean and the staff is pretty friendly. I take spin class often and all their instructors are quite good (Lynda K. is my favourite). I have yet to take any other classes so I cannot speak to those. I have not done any personal training sessions either. The only thing keeping this from being a five star review is the fact that they are kind of slow to fix things when they break down (one water fountain has not been functioning for a few months and there are always problems with the stereo in the spin room). Another problem is that there is only 3 locations in the GTA as of now (Scarborough, Vaughan, and Ajax) but as the world’s biggest gym company I am sure they will be expanding shortly within the GTA.
The hours are 24hours on weekdays and 8am-​8pm on weekends so they should work for anybody’s schedule. I have been a member here for almost 9 months and I must say I am quite happy with my decision to join and I look forward to renewing my membership.
