Any of ya work out here , what is your thoughts ?
I’ve been here couple yrs, it’s turning into a shite hole Imo . The equipment is wore out , ripped and torn, just ragged imo.
I just assumed “GOLDS” would be top notch and always getting better, the place is falling apart. I’m fixing move back to anytime d-town.

I think I wouldn't fit in unless I started juicing.

A lot of folks are disappointed with how the facility is being managed. Services are or have been cut such as complimentary towels, air conditioning, overall workout space, locker room items, cleanliness, etc. You name it. Not nearly as busy during that 4-6 pm peak time during the work week. Hearsay is that the lease is sky high.

I work out at an off-brand gym. I’m usually the only person there. Makes it a lot more enjoyable.

I can remember a time when the Golds Gym I worked out at had biohazard containers in the bathroom for syringes.

I used to work for a company that had an office in Geismar so I stayed in Gonzales when I worked out of that office and would usually train at Anytime in Dutchtown but switched to Golds when it opened. So it’s a dump now? Used to be nice.

Sounds like it would have been fun in the 1970s and 80s.

I don’t think that’s prevalent now like it was 15 years ago

Funny, three of us were talking about this exact thing a couple of hours ago while there. And you are correct, 5oclock is douche bag roid hour. I see more and more people on roids in there every week. Jackasses dropping or should say slamming weights down just to get the “look at me attention”

And been wanting to ask this for a while. what is with these guys carrying around a duffel bag, big enough for a weeks worth of clothes, and always leaving them in the way in the floor or front of equipment they are not even using? And it’s not because they are full of clothes and change in the locker room, they come in dressed ready to work out. Usually the same ones who are tearing up all the equipment.

Sad to hear. I am a Gold’s member in SoCal and was looking forward to working out there when in town this June despite the drive from South BR.

Be ready to be greatly disappointed. I was in Southern California last month and worked out at a fitness 19 that used to be a golds gym and it was the most impressive 24 hr gym I’ve seen. Put ours to shame.

Some of y’all are salty af about “roids”. Granted, some do use but it’s just weird every other post in here is about that, just because people enjoy bodybuilding. Stop being fat and train and you’d see they aren’t required

I’m not salty, I actually take low doses of test cyp. It’s the idiots that go there and like others mentioned struggling to squat 225 and curl 35 lbs dumbbells but make such a scene and noise that you would think they were lifting 10times that much. Not to mention all the flexing and posing in the mirrors in front of the women
