my Gold's is a shithole too... same thing as you're explaining. half the damn bars in there are so old and bent that you can't use them. at least 1/2 the time i go in there on of the cable machines is busted. the equipment is old as fuck and falling apart but i overheard one of the staff walking a new member through the gym bragging about how they were replacing all the TV's with flatscreens and how the cardio equipment is gonna have individual TV screens so that peeps can watch their own thing while doing cardio?!? wtf?!

the place completely sucks... i've already signed up for a membership at the 24hr Fitness that's comming up across the street that's gonna BLOW Gold's away. i can't wait.

since i've become so disgusted with the joint, i never wrack weights anymore and don't even care about smashing up the floor doing deads/cleans since their too f'n cheap to get bumper weights and/or a platform to lift on. they don't care about taking care of the equipment, well then neither do i...

the trainers their treat the freeweight area like its true purpose is for the fat middleaged housewives to roll around on those damn fitness balls and do 2lb tricep extensions... like that's gonna burn the blubber off those thighs, HAHA


damn i hate Golds.
